I Turn My Camera On

Am just gonna write about random stuffs because brains cannot seem to get them all properly organized.

Hands are still aching from the two days healing rally. Have never been so excited about church before. Everyone was talking bout it for over a week and I was very close to not being able to make it as exams were scheduled. After much persuasion, I went and brought Josephine along. Needless to say, I did not study for any of the mid-term papers *fingers crossed*. But healing rally was a blast. So, no complaints there. Am also recovering from flu which I suspect came from Alex. Thanxfor the hug. But no thanx for the flu. He was super whooper excited after healing rally he ran around hugging people. Now you see, that’s what healing do to people.

We’ve started our shooting on an anti-smoking campaign. And I now smell like cigarette *yuck*. I didn’t know in order to stop people from smoking; we had to compromise our own health. We had to capture a full footage of cigarette burning away in a dark room. So there we were, in a confined space shooting cigarettes burn away, one after another, trying to get proper angle, lighting..etc *faints* Am thankful we’re done with that particular scene. We’ve got a long way to go before going into the lab for editing an all. So level of stress is currently rising. The thought of semester break approaching is just making it worse, because instead of a well-deserved holiday, we’ll be stuck in the lab editing and rushing on other reports and written assignments…u get the idea lah. The life of a student is THAT exhilarating.

Am really looking forward to Life Club and SNL this weekend for some good laugh and good company. All the wrong reasons. But it’s the only time we get to have some fun. *Yawns* Excuse me while I go get some sleep. Am sleep deprived and some props are waiting to get painted. Yes, I paint too.

I began many years ago, as so many young men do, in searching for the perfect woman. I believed that if I looked long enough, and hard enough, I would find her and then I would be secure for life.
Well, the years and romances came and went, and I eventually ended up settling for someone a lot less than my idea of perfection.
But one day, after many years together, I lay there on our bed recovering from a slight illness. My wife was sitting on a chair next to the bed, humming softly and watching the late afternoon sun filtering through the trees. The only sounds to be heard elsewhere were the clock ticking, the kettle downstairs starting to boil, and an occasional schoolchild passing beneath our window. And as I looked up into my wife's now wrinkled face, but still warm and twinkling eyes, I realized something about perfection...
It comes only with time.

The Return of Yours Truly

I'm back!! Yes, I am back from what seemed like a really long break. Truth is, I’ve been back for over 4 weeks and I haven't really been in the mood for updating. Blame it on the heavy schedule. It’s another new semester with lots of excitement to look forward to until deadlines loom. Then it’ll be a whole different story lah.

Holidays were enjoyable and it always is when I’m back at Stan Chart. Sadly, I won’t be returning to Stan Chart anytime soon. Internship will be keeping me busy the end of this semester. I’m going to miss the familiar faces that have been so supportive of a little green horn.



Josephine and I spent our orientation week bringing her brother and cousin sister around KL and Putrajaya. I never knew the job of a tour guide can be very tiring. Even more as we depended solely on public transport to move around. The hassle of being incapable of maneuvering this simple machine called car *sigh*. Something has to be done here.

I now have a new skill. I know how to operate a movie camera!! Video production classes have been such a motivation. The thought of it gets me out of bed in a flash on Monday mornings. Weee…I like Monday mornings now =)

Attended my first Life Club meeting today and I’m already a devotee. The members were welcoming and the one hour meeting was nothing less than a truck load of fun. The talk was enriching and will hopefully help all of us make good decisions in life. Thanks beary much Chrystin! You will surely see me turn up at Life Club again.

Now that I am bone tired from cleaning our HUGE new fridge, its slumber time. ZZzzzzzz….

Tick Tock

Time is ticking away and blogging is the last thing I should be doing. Same goes to facebooking. I'm such a bummer, I know.
With final submission, presentations and final exams approching, stress level is sky high. People running out of patience, yelling at each other, pissing each other off; common scenarios this time of the year. Therefore, a shopping marathon was needed to destress.
Mom was kind enough to let me borrow her credit card to go for the Isetan members' pre-sale and needless to say, she regreted *evil grin*. Bought some outfits for work and prezzies for the May babies; housemate-Chu and bffs- Adah & Sharu.

Its so quiet in the house, which is usually very noisy lah, when all 4 of us are caught up in our web of assignments and deadlines. I've been trying not to whine about having to juggle work and school. Not that there's a lot to nitpick about, in fact I've been having much fun back in the office with movie days, lunch dates and all.
But I kept having this bad feeling that I may not be able to finish up all my assignments for submission. I've been doing my work consistently for the past few weeks, trying as much as possible not to procrastinate, yet the big pile remains. *Freaks out* No, maybe its just the stress getting to my head. I need to find cheaper ways to destress.
Yum cha, anyone?
