mixed feelings..
well, supposed to be watching Joy Luck Club right now, cause my cross cultural assignment is based on that, but im super distracted... oh well oh well, hence writing this post..

these few nights have been awfully weird...all the negativity are like surging into me.. is like, extreme and fast mood swings, 1 moment i feel motivated, and another i feel like giving everything up and taking a break..super ironic and insanely emotional, even i myself cant believe that i can be so emotional..

another weird things is that the telepathy feeling that i can 'sense' from the people whom i care, is coming back....starting to have breathing difficulty more and more often recently, not only that occasionally i tend to feel surges of heartaches as well...wonder who is the one feeling this way, is that all from the same person?? hope that he will be alright..

time to get back to my assignments..oh my tian -.-

Murphy's law is not a hear-say thing
Had the first ever real television studio recording a few days ago...That was super super stress!!! Arrgh!!

Almost everything cocked up that day!! OMG!!

Firstly, pitch session, our group didnt know that we were required to submit a hard copy of the finalised proposal. Then, I went down on behalf of my group to go to the lab to do the proposal. That was a mad rush, trying to finish half a proposal within like 10 - 20 min?

And after that, when I was printing, i was called back to class to finish up the presentation first, damn i was missing from class for like almost 40min. And, 40min to print that few pieces of paper is like obviously absurd...

Well, that's only the pitch session part. Level 3 of hell comes in for the 1 + 2 recording.

Our guest to be interviewed was MIA!!! WTH!!

Everyone in the group became very stressed up and panicky. Almost every aspect in our multi cam will be marked down because of that...Oh my tian, and grades meant so much to the girls.

Nevertheless, thankfully for having a guy in our group who is calmed, composed and rational. Really thankful for Vance being in our group. As i see the girls panicking and frustrated, I was feeling frustrated too. But i know that i cant show as a studio director, i have to lead them, in fact, i have to lead the whole team of almost 10 people. if i panick and show all my negativity and frustrations, the rest wont be led well... and that will bring even more harm to the recording.

Slowly, one by one, more issues surfaced.
1. VT had problem recording
2. Audio file cant be read - may result in no opening music and no music for VT
3. CG machine down

Despite all the cock ups, thankfully.. Vance's calmness made me cool down bit by bit.. Although i tried to act as if everything was still going within our control, (well, dont know if how well i acted it out) but yea, TingKe knew me too well.. She knew that it was still an act afterall. Was trying to be as calm as Vance, thought of solutions on the spot, as fast as i could, and slowly solved them eventually one by one..

Nevertheless, BIG THANK YOU FOR T04 FOR MULTICAM CLASS!!! You guys are the best classmates I ever have! This is the second time I enjoyed being in tp cmm, really.. You guys took so much initiative to help my group up. Even though there were so many cock ups and so much passing of instructions, you guys could understand what I wanted despite there were so many sets of my different instructions. Worst still, I was so stressed up that I honestly didnt have any idea of what i was saying, whether was it clear to my crew. I just shot what I thought of, but no idea if the message was conveyed correctly. But amazingly, you guys actually knew what I was referring to! That was like a miracle!!!

All in all, the recording went smooth; after like 3 or 5 times of recording and 2 actual ones...In total we repeated the same thing for like going to 10 times??? From 11am, briefing, trying out till recording till 1230pm. Must be super tiring and exhaustive for you guys, but thanks for your utmost cooperation!

shagged from inside out
Really feel exhausted for the month of December and January. What a bad way to end 2010 and start 2011...

It is really, really hard to balance both work and school. Everything seems to be off balance, and because of that, a lot of commotions and issues are rising up at the same time, draining at least twice or even thrice of the amount of energy that is draining as compared to previously...

Lots of casualties caused due to me...really sorry for those who cared for me. I do know that at my current stage and condition right now, i cant make any more promises...but the only thing i can assure now to you all will be that i will do to my best, and please everyone as much as i can. I totally have no idea how much i can do, but i only know that i will give in my best effort to make everything as nice as possible.

But honestly speaking, personally, i feel like throwing everything aside and hide myself...but i know that this is gonna disappoint everyone even further. i may be staggering and super unstable for now, but i know that if i were to leave everything like that, things will only get worse...

Wish me all the best, may everything turn out fine..

Simplicity times are priceless
Well, had i-guides sub comm meeting yesterday. Did some calling to the normal guides, recapped some of the cheers that we usually do and we were briefed about what we are supposed to do on the Open House itself.

Lots of fun and laughter again, it has been such a long time since i am so relaxed, not thinking about work or school...The feeling was awesome, just a group of fun and wild friends coming together, doing something in common, livening up the atmosphere :) It has been so long since I found myself in such state of happiness. Really, really thankful for the guides, they have never failed to make me enjoy my poly life to the max =D
