Last Presentation Skills

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life

Well, we’ve re-shot the ads. Everything went ok despite everyone being late (except me for once, LOL). I’ll write about it soon.. I’m kinda sleepy right now cuz I’ve been up all night re-organizing stuff for today’s video production mock assessment and did the workbook. I have class in 1 1/2 hours, blah.

Yesterday was my last Presentation Skills class… ahh one burden has been lifted :D Actually it’s not much of a burden cuz the past 2 weeks it has been impromtu presentation… yesterday was a job interview presentation. My group was me, Az, Bryan, Shah and Kathy. Our ‘job’ that we’re supposed to be applying is “Adhesives Compartmentalist” lol. The job has something to do with cello tape that has been packed into sixes, and we have to rewrap them into two. lol. Interesting huh?

The 3rd group which is Sherra’s group has a job called “Blood Bank Packaging Clerk” or something..arrrrghhh that’s so my topic! The job requires you to stay up all night and be transferred to Transylvania, haha. That job is like perfect for me, argh if only my group is a turn too late, I could have done a better presentation cuz come on, I like vampires, I like blood, I’m a night owl/vampire and I like Transylvania! Oh well.

After class, me and Jackie sent back equipments and I accompanied him for one hour-ish until he goes back. Okay I’m gonna get an hour rest before I have to go to class. Argh mock assessment today :( Tonight have to finish the script, then tomorrow the 3D. ARGH. ARGH. Stress. It’s okay. Just this week then I’m done. Patience………

2 Weeks

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life

I am so sleepy right now. I’ll just make a quick blog.
Just around 2 weeks left for this semester. Well actually one more week, then it’s final assessment week. Stressful. I have a script that I need to write, an advertisement we still need to shoot, edit and produce, and 3D animation to do.

Today when I came to college, I saw LOADS of cars outside so I was like shit, no parking…and when I entered the indoor carpark, guess what? There was some filming thing going on… o.O Filming crew and all the stuff right in the middle of the indoor carpark. I didn’t get to see which production or actors there though cuz I was rushing for class.

In 3D class, learned modeling in 3Ds Max. Looks very complicated but cool XD By next week have to produce an animated logo using 3D..argh @_@ Going to finish it tomorrow and Saturday…so I can work on my script from Sunday to Wednesday … then edit video during daytime. After class today, I gave a ride to Ka Mun & Ice. Well, I just sent Ka Mun to the nearby petrol station then sent Ice to LRT station in Kelana Jaya. Hehe first time I was with Ice other than in class lol.

Well. I’m going to put Fawlty Towers on now, and I’ll prolly fall asleep while watching it. Have to wake up and go to college at 9-ish am tomorrow to develop photos, then send camera & equipments to Ito’s house. We’re shooting this Sunday. Please god, no more screw ups. It’s our last chance. And please let Bryan help us..we’re lacking crew :(

College Stuff

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Movies & DVD, Photos, Random

First of all…

My college has been upgraded to university college status! So now my college is known as:
SEGi University College.

Finally :)

So anyways… gonna blog about random stuff about my class. I’m not gonna touch on my production until it’s all done. So last Monday was presentation skills class. It was quite fun as it was impromptu presentation on the topic “Why I should get a diploma”. My group was me, Sherra, Jackie, Effendy and Kathy. My group was the only one that kinda like fighting with each other cuz we’re supposed to fight for a diploma. lol. Fun. After class, Mr. Nicsson asked us to fill a survey and in return, we got a bag :D  Yay. Then after that I was on my way to the cafe to buy drink, and I bumped into Crystal! I haven’t seen her for like 8 months.. since the last prom nite performance cuz we were in Dance & Drama club. We had like 1 1/2 hours of long chat outside the cafe. She’s was having her last exam… and she’d be finishing her diploma :( So I won’t be seeing her around college anymore .. I think. Afer the chat, I went to Maxis center to pay my phone bill cuz the maxis guy kept calling me and bugging the fucking hell out of me about the bill. Geez. They’re almost like Ah-Long (loan sharks).

Tuesday, well, in the morning, it was Black & White photography class.. we developed our 2nd roll of film :D So I was in the dark room with Jackie & Joe loading our films and stuff. Someone friggin turned on the light! Luckily my negative was not affected cuz Jackie hasn’t pulled it out yet.. fuhhhh. I would cry if the light ruined it! But negative turned out ok! :D Fuhhh…. I was sooooo scared it’d turn out like the first one…haha cuz I was so stupid. After class, went to lunch with kathy & Ka Mun…then went for video production 1 class.. there was no class actually. My group is having problems…blah… AND, Adura…has…to….defer…… semester…omg. First Nesh, then Halili…now her. Omg. And we only have 2 weeks left until the end of semester…argh. We’re lacking crew! Now only 4 of us. Other group has 7. Urgh. And we asked Farah to be our talent XD Hopefully she won’t disappoint us.

Wednesday (today)… scriptwriting class.. and there was no class, lol. I just hand in my first draft of script then I could go home..but I decided to stay to see how Ka Mun and Joe do their animation..haha was the best decision ever.. it was sooooo fucking hilarious! I remember when I had to do mine with Boy last semester… with all the stress, the crying, the bitching… staying up all night doing the silhouette animation with him… lol anyways..  I took some pictures of them… and like 15 minutes long video using my cellphone lol but I won’t post the video.

This is how you do a silhouette stop-motion animation. You cut the image from black sugar paper and put it on lightbox, with the camera on top, and you capture it. I like their scenery, plus the characters. They’re doing samurai and ninja.. haha Joe’s ninja is fucking hilarious.

I really like it @_@ really nice.i hated the cutting part though, lol.

And then capturing it in the imac.

I was there for 2 hours-ish and we never stopped laughing. Haha. It was soooo hilarious.. esp. when Joe were being silly, and talked with Japanese accent. We were laughing so much that he even rolled on the floor laughing, LOL. Ka Mun was animating a bird and the outcome was so funny, I was laughing till my stomach hurt. Hehe. I like silhouette animation. I’d do it again if I don’t have any other works to do because stop-motion animation is soooooooooo time consuming. It takes friggin long to do but it’s the most fun.

After I got home, I stopped by at the nearby store at my place and a pirated DVD store has just opened.. HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t know how long it’s gonna stay opened, but while it’s opened, I’m gonna make full use of it lol. There are a  lot of DVDs I want to buy… but I didn’t have enough money. But then I saw FAWLTY TOWERS DVD (complete series)… one of my favorite british comedies! I wanted it from amazon, but it was fucking expensive! Around USD$50 (around RM160+/-) but I bought the my copy today for RM27 (USD$8), hehehehehehe… :D I didn’t have enough money though :( LOL but the guy is so nice, he let me buy it first, and pay tomorrow..haha ;)

Yay they’re showing reruns of Friends again from early season! (when Rachel is still working as waitress at Central Perk)… they showed the 10th season early this month every night and the very last episode of it was last week.. ..but glad they’re still showing reruns of friends cuz it’s one of the greatest tv shows ever XD

Monitor

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Health & Beauty, Random

I’m going to college in a bit for group discussion so I’ll make this fast and short. I’ll blog more later today. We’re going to finalize our advertisement today before we go and shoot it. Hopefully no other big problems will surface… I’m really worrying on the talent. I have a feeling something will happen like schedule clashing and so on. Location too.

Anyways.. my ear has been hurting so bad that 2 days ago I could barely talk. Now part of my neck and upper ear near the left temple has swellings… argh.. my ear is swollen too… so on the way home on Wednesday I went to the pharmacy and got myself eardrop and painkiller. Mrf. Mrrrrffff. It hurts :(

Just one more week to go through before I can go and buy my monitor!!!! FUCKING FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for like what? 2 months? I’ve been saving up and thank god I managed to have enough money for the monitor. Then I’ll be completely broke :( I’ve always mention this… anyone wanna take me to vegas and win me mooooneeeyyy??? lol. There’s gambling place in malaysia (only in genting highlands) but muslims can’t go in. Check in at luxurious vegas hotels.. oh I just found out there’s a hotel there called Golden Nuggets or something? That amused me lol… FuMoninny name for a hotel.. makes me hungry though… hmm thinking of chicken nuggets.. yum

Broken Window

SURVIVAL #2

This is the post about last week hehe. My hell-ish week. This is my 2nd survival. hehe. Okay, so after the crazyness about the group project, I felt so relieved because all the tension on the creative part is gone. So that night I get to sleep without stress for the first time after a few weeks since I’ve already finished my clay assignment and the drawing and stuff so I had nothing to do. Wednesday same thing, no stress. Come Thursday..I went through hell again.

It was raining hard. I was getting ready to go to my Animation 1 class. So with my clay, and assignment I went to my car. Then I entered my car and I noticed my front window was very blurry and I was like wtf? I looked closer and OH MY GOD.

MY CAR’S FRONT WINDOW CRACKED!

It was so bad that every inches of it is cracked. I closed the door and BAM, the glass shattered on the floor and onto me. I was like panicking, with a hole in the front window, and it was raining so I ran back to my place, told mom and went back downstairs. We don’t know what happened. Could be heat, could be people…because there’s been few cracked window cases.

I was panicking before not only the window is cracked, I also had the clay due that day and I had no way to go there. We tried to solve things but so far, no luck. To make long story short, luckily there’s a car repair shop outside of this flat, so I walked there and asked that guy to take the car and fix it. While waiting, a taxi parked in front of my car, and came up to me to ask what happened. So with my puppy dog eyes, hoping he’d feel sorry for me because I’m panicking about my assignment that’s due and help me, I told the story and voila! He offered help XD I don’t care anymore.. all I wanted is to submit the assignment because Mr Terry is not the permanent lecturer there so I won’t be able to submit the next day.. I’d have to wait until next week’s class so imagine how many marks I would’ve lost.

So after he ate his lunch, he took me to college and I rushed to see Mr Terry. Ito was still there so I got the notes from him :D I submitted the assignment :D AND Mr Terry was so nice that he let me sign the attendance because I took the effort to be there XD Gotta love Mr Terry.

OMG you have no idea how relieved I was! I get to submit all the assignment, got the notes, attendance no affected and Ito put my name for new class hour which is 4-6 pm now. XD So $15 gone for the taxi and $250 for the replacement window but I survived that emergency thank god.

Here are some pics on my window.

See? IT SHATTERED.

See the cracks?

Shattered glasses.

Lots of bits.. my arms were very itchy cuz of the tiny pieces poking my skins.. those you can barely see.

And it was all over the car.

Well that was my story.
Anyways, while we’re on the car subject, I’d like to do a shameless plug…get steering rack at carsteering.com lol.

Today was a long day. Blog about it coming soon.

Burnt Out

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Random

My god I’m so tired. Yesterday there was a charity carnival at my college so I was asked by Kah Mun to help and I agreed and oh man.. it was burning hot, it was crowded, and it was crazy madness. I’ll blog about it later today if I feel like it. Have some other thing to blog about first. Plus I’ll post pictures. Blah, I passed out at like 9 pm and I woke up at 2 something am and now I can’t sleep, and I had a good dream too, damn.

Anyways, just a bit of site review before I go. If you lucky people reading this has a pool, why not head to poolandbeachtoys.com and buy some pool toys….? They have like stuff for your pools like toys, floats, and also backyard toys. Heh, I’ve always wanted a pool. When I was little, I’d use this basin where my mom use for laundry and my cousin and I would use the hose and just go crazy. Then my fucking uncle who is no longer my uncle cuz I loathe him would see us playing and beat the shit out of us lol

Through Hell

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Random

Well as you’ve read in my previous posts, I’ve been having problems with my group project. I was in hell. But, thank god, I survived it all…so far.This is going to be a very long entry.

So ever since Nesh, our ‘group leader’ defered the whole sem, we are left with no one with leadership quality. I’m stepping back because I don’t want to handle such responsibility but unfortunately, if I didn’t do anything, we’re completely fucked because it seems that no one cares. So I had to step up and DO SOMETHING.

I gave Jackie work to do and Ito, but both didn’t do anything. I was panicking on Monday because they said they’d do on Tuesday morning when I KNEW all along we wouldn’t be able to finish it on if we do it on Tuesday. He couldn’t draw the storyboard so I had to give to Bryan to draw it cuz he was the only one who could draw.

I did my work. With me, I always will have a backup plan in case things don’t go great. So I did a bad sketches for storyboard so I could put it in my comp and do the animatics. I planned Jackie could finish the work by Monday but when he couldn’t, I had to come up with a plan on the spot. And I also did the style board. I gave Jackie the simplest work which is writing two column script -

He couldn’t do that either.

…..

I was panicking even more. Because Monday night, my phone line and net was fucked up from 12 am… I WENT CRAZY! It was the last strike for me.. I broke down.. I was crying so bad in frustration, I was pissed off, I was screaming and cursing until 3 am when I was just about to go to bed and was feeling suicidal, and suddenly my phone line and net came back! So I quickly searched for pics, did the style board and went to bed at 4 am with very swollen/puffy eyes.

I woke up at 9 am. Panicked some more when I called Bryan, he haven’t fnished coloring the storyboard. Got ready. Went to print the style board… I only arrived at class at 11am. Luckily Mr Kelvin is a nice lecturer.. :D So I wasn’t in trouble for coming to class late. Filled in subject evaluation form..then went to the library with Jackie, Kah Mun & Ying to check on Bryan. Things didn’t look great. We needed color pencils and couldn’t find any. I just said we had to setlle with the color marker we had.

I was losing hope. We all went to lunch. Then Ito came. I pitied Bryan cuz he was doing it alone. I wanted to help him so bad but I couldn’t draw no color. By 12.30 pm we all went back to library… I told them to help Bryan with coloring..more shit happened. I was losing more hope. I was preparing for the worse. I saw Esther in front of me and she was looking calm. I was like oh shit.

As I remember we’re not supposed to show script on that day but Jackie told me I should do the two column script anyway so I thought maybe I should as a backup. That was the best decision ever because it turned out we needed it. As everyone is helping with each other, I did the script with Ito.

Finally when the coloring is done, it was like 15 mins to class. Bryan and I rushed to the IT room to scan it but that guy said to use the scanner that’s outside and there was like 20 fucking people crowding it, waiting to use the machine. That’s one thing I don’t like about Segi college. I never photocopy paper there. Scanning? It would scan to email… what? Like 20 pieces of paper scanned to email? WTF? Considering the connection at college is like a fucking snail, how long do we have to wait to download the email attachment? WTF. That’s so stupid. I ran back up to the library and said there’s no time.. used my backup plan. I had a feeling scanning would be a problem so I prepared a plan B at home which is taking photos of the storyboard using my digi cam.

It worked. Dura came. I told the rest to help with pasting the storyboard onto the mounting board while I rush to download photos to my comp and redid the animatics. We went to class at 2.15 pm but luckily everyone including Mr Eddie just came too so we weren’t late. At this point, my group started making jokes again so stress is lessen a bit.

Everything turned out ok. I think Mr Eddie thinks the styleboard is okay.. so we had everything done JUST IN TIME. You had absolutely no idea how relieved I felt at that time after all the stress. After all of this I seriously need a vacation. Since lately I’ve been looking into cruise ship stuff…it’d be nice if I could just get away from all of this, find a good cruise deals and spend some time away from the land in a total luxurious crusie ship. Sigh. A girl can dream, can’t she?

Suspicious Site

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life, Food, Random, Site Updates

Sorry people. If you came to the site since couple of days ago, you may have noticed that my blog has been FLAGGED as being a suspicious site…

I had absolutely no idea wtf was that o.O

But it’s true, when I loaded my site, my antivirus warning told me that my site is distributing some kind of trojan. I have no idea where the fuck that came from, but after that I deleted any links I see suspicious, I don’t think it’s distributing trojan anymore, I’ve asked google to re-review the site again and I think my site has been deflagged. Let me know if you still see it flagged.

This past 2 weeks had been extremely stressful to me but the hellish part is sorta temporarily over. Tell you about it tomorrow. I decided to treat myself with Dominos Pizza tonight as part of stress relief. Now I just need some wieght loss pills to kill the fat I’ve consumed and to stop the weight I would be gaining from tonight :( :(

People = Shit.

   Posted by: Tany   in College, Daily Life

I HATE GROUP PROJECTS.

Shoot me,k?

Wtf is wrong with the people in my group? Why the hell don’t they care about failing it?????? And why the hell are they dragging me in????

Fuck this. I’m not gonna bother with this shit. I’ll do my work I need to relax myself before my blood vessel bursts.

I want Pn Ju. I want her to do what she did with that fucking Jeya. I want her to YELL at her in front of the class for not cooperating in the group. If only Pn Ju is my lecturer now…….

Me and Jackie called Dura. She wasn’t answering. Called Halili. Wasn’t answering. Called Ito… HE FORGOT. He wants to do the work tomorrow. Is he fucking kidding me? Why not just kill me and be done with it… so I don’t have to go through the embarassment of not having anything to present on presentation day.

On the brighter side however, yesterday I met with Bryan at Centrepoint to discuss our presentation. Never knew he’s a fun guy. Always thought he’s a quiet guy. We have lots in common, especially on Japanese culture and language. First we discussed at McDonalds…he treated me banana pie, yum. Then couple of hours later, i went back to my place to get my laptop charger and went to pump gas..since burger king is there we thought we’d discuss there…wanted to go to the malls but too many people.. So we just sat at burger king until 8 pm discussing our presentation.

And we finished our presentation, and luckily our presentation today was not bad at all! Ms Jenny didn’t say much on it, and thought it’s ok. We’re both happy and relieved about it. At least that’s something good.

I’ve written about mesothelioma before right?
