wahaha, had a fun, but tiring 2 days.

wednesday

woke up like damn early to go dion's house with angie and gang to discuss about the SA chalet final details. we slacked more than we talked, actually. and all the way to dion's house which is in kovan, which is like a damn secluded a.k.a far place i was carrying this huge-ass bag which carried two days worth of clothes.

i left earlier with the huge-assed bag and carried it all the way to jem's house via bus. deposited my bag at his house (he wasn't home, his brother opened the door and looked shocked that someone was actually standing there), before rushing over to bedok interchange to meet shuxian, and we went to the 401 bus spot, but surprise surprise, it only operates on weekends and public holidays. so we cabbed to east coast park, met up with betty and twins and etc. after waiting for a long while for the guys to come down from the gay bar pool lounge, we went to rent bikes! woot!! so fun!! i wanna cycle again soon! anyone wanna join? haha, anywaaaayyysss, went cycling, super shiok. cycled for two hours, before starting the barbecue. not bad, i would say. haha, i guess it's the company that counts. after everyone finished the drinks and the ice in the styrofoam container had melted, the girls began to compete to see who could stick their hands in there the longest. damn lame. haha. afterwards they stuck their foot in. then, since we were going to ebd up in different classes, i decided to have a "final showdown" with shuxian at the finger guessing game. we both stepped inside the box and kept playing. haha, the loser was the one who stepped out first. we kept playing till our feet couldn't feel the cold. then we decided to settle it with... scissors paper stone. min's idea. haha, yea she was there. extra. lol. and, as always, i won her.

after the barbecue, min, greg, mal and i headed over to jem's house. there we played card games and ate the leftover beehoon from the barbecue before sleeping. his brother damn cute. lol.

thursday

woke up at 8.30, bathed and packed, left jem's house and went over to tampines interchange, where wendy's mom picked me up. inside the van was wendy, her mom, dion, angie, donson and steven, and plus me and all the stuff that they brought for the chalet, you could imagine how packed it was.

reached the chalet at like, 10.30, and eventually, long story short, we only managed to get in at around 1.30 to 3. had alot of fun. haha, played card games and stuff. the organisers decided to call off the games, since no one wanted to play them. waste our time only. haha, so we ended up with alot of unused water bomb bags. so i guess i don't have to tell you what we did. hahaha. damn fun. not everyone played though, only the MOI people minus betty plus donson and steven. steven coward, stay in the kitchen throw, don't dare to come out, and we couldn't throw him, cause we didn't wanna wet the kitchen, although eventually it got wet. my fave part - chasing jake down the street barefooted and hitting him with a water bomb. for such a tall guy, he's amazingly slow. hahaha. but my feet hurt like damn bad after that, cause the road was very rough. haha, no blisters though.

friday

woke up, no one freaking brought toothpaste. so i ended up brushing my teeth without it. 3 times. haha, wanted to get it cleaned as much as possible. cleaned up the chalet. not an easy task, considering it's gigantic with two levels (aloha changi)
and there's only less than 7 people doing it. the rest had left earlier for home/school or were still sleeping. cleaned up, left the place at 10 plus, and went over to tampines mall and slacked around in a group of about 8. end of the day, my jacket ended up with wendy. i'm not sure if i'll ever get it back, actually. she's like in love with it. angie had also took dion's jacket last time and hasn't returned it, which makes the prospect of me getting it back seem more impossible.

like i said, fun but tiring.

finally got the pics of the day out with leon from apple. haha, most are either blur or pixelated, but who cares, kheng li isn't marking it anyways. FINALLY stayed at home today. for the past week i've been "enjoying" my holidays too much. haha, now, i'm at home recuperating.



went out to watch a movie yesterday. i know, i pang seh jeremy and co. when they ask me to go play soccer. i initially wanted to spend these two days at home. but at night wendy and angie in msn ask me to go out with them cause they're sick of being stuck at home, and wendy kept insisting, so, i told them i would go if they could wake me up in time. next day, wendy sms me at 10, and i told her i don't feel like going, and she freaking called me while i was still lying on my bed. when people actually call you up it's kinda hard to say no. haha.



watched chuck and larry with wendy, angie, dion, andrea. i was the only one from another MOI class, the rest of them were in the next class. m18 movie, but got in. muahahaha. the cathay at dhoby ghaut is damn slack, never check one. when we got in i joked with angie, and acted like i was going to start waving my hands and shouting "yes! we got into m18 movie! we're not even 18! woo!" of course no one would be that much of an idiot. not even me. haha.



the movie was good, you guys should watch it, either online, sneak into the the cinema or wait till the vcd comes out, original or otherwise. haha, copyright = right to copy. very funny. the previous adam sandler movie, click, was sortta both sad and funny. this one is just hilarious. i sat at the side, so i could only see wendy's big head beside me, and none of the others, but the both of us were laughing all the way through.



my fave scene was the one near the end. yes, i'm going to, like always, spoil it for you. the chief fireman was at chuck at larry's hearing in court, and he was challenging the judge, then all the other firemen in their unit stood up for them too, and chuck tells the judge, "that's how it is with us firemen. you lock one up, you lock the whole team up. so what's it gonna be?" cut to next scene, everyone's behind bars. hahaha.



in conclusion, watch the damn movie. haha.



sigh, i'm so pathetic. everyone around me is hooking up with one another, and i've been single my whole life. i think it comes to to one of three of these options.



1) it's not my time yet,

2) i'm a loser, or

3) it's not my time, and i'm a loser.



haha, think i'm gonna post the pics apple sent me now. i'm gonna be diff, people post the best pics, i'm gonna post the more unglam ones. haha.



human totem pole

don't ask.me trying to eat apple. if you understand.

now i'm eating adeline, she's posing for the picture, and i have no idea who the retard in the background is.
everyone act cool, i act idiot.

hmm. blogging cause i have nothing else to do. sleep? that's for mortals.

present mood: sian. some things happened around me, and i got caught up. sigh.

oh, on a lighter note, i finally served in ministry in church today :) i'm in video ministry, and on saturday i helped (ok, looked at people while they) set up cameras. tell you, the camera damn heavy. it's not those kinda lousy cheapskate kind, but it's fullscale, commercial standard quality ones. imagine, the church has 8 of them in expo. i'm not sure how many they have in the jurong west building though. after the set up i went over to cam 7. it's like, the highest point to be in the whole hall. from there i could see the whole of expo hall 8. stood there, looking around. damn cool, being higher than everyone else. haha.

my job during the service was to adjust the iris of 4 of the cameras while another new guy took the other 4. in case you don't know what the iris does, i adjust the lighting of the shots, make it brighter or dimmer. confusing at first, especially when during the praise and worship session, which was right at the start and i had to learn what's the menaing of too bright or too dark quickly. good thing i had help from the pros. haha.

it was damn fun! haha, to think i actually wanted to quit when i found out i had to go for both saturday and sunday services. hahaha. min is in children church. i'm going over to help out next saturday for a children's church event, before rushing down to expo for ministry.

lalalalalala. bored now. bye.

had a cool dream today.

you know one of those recurring dreams? well mine was something more special, it was more like a miniseries. it starts with me somewhere (the last two dreams i was at my cousin's house, the rest, i can't remember), and i have to look for this portal thingy to take me somewhere which i can't remember. the thing is, i didn't know where it was and it wil only come out by chance. the first time in my cousin's house (which didn't look like her house, but had her in it, and in the dream i sortta accepted that it was her house) it was in a room beside her room. thing is, the door wasn't there in the first place, and when i opened it, it was like that scene from the matrix reloaded, where seraph opens the door into a white corridoor and along them on both sides are hundreds of other doors, and the portal thing is behind one of them. when i actually get to the portal, there are these clues on it that i must solve in order to actually open it. damn confusing, i know, but then again, in dreams there isn't any sense of time. i can't remember what happened after i solved it though. i just have this "ying xiang" that i solved it.

second time, i was looking for the door, but beside the my cousin's room, there weren't any doors, only the doorway to the kitchen. so long story short, i found it in the kitchen cupboard (so i went to the cupboard~ she said don't go to the cupboard~ i say why what's in the cupboard~ ok, totally random, i know. check out "trapped in the cupboard" on youtube, damn funny!) and was halfway through trying to solve it before i woke up. that's the only reason why i remember the dream. haha, so there.

ook, gonna talk about events now. monday, went out with the class for a lunch/movie outing. this time organising it wasn't as hellish as organising jem's birthday outing, not to mention as expensive. haha, shuxian aka sharks iron (shux-ian) helped me with it, and halved the number of people i had to sms for me, and if you want to know, 14 people in total came, and we had to send them different smses three times. the main aim of this outing was seeing leon again after he POP from BMT. one week break only, poor guy. so we ate at hong kong cafe (damn nice :D ) and watched rogue assassin. it's quite a nice show, actually...until the end. and if you guys have ever seen my previous blog posts on movies, then yes, i am gonna spoil it for you.

the whole show was quite ok, about this police guy chasing after another guy (the rogue assassin) because he killed the first guy's partner. turns out, the partner had killed the rogue and assumed his identity just to get to the man who ordered the hit, cause the rogue had killed his wife and daughter. that was a nice twist, but apparently it wasn't enough for the scriptwriter, who spoiled everything by making the first guy the one who sold his partner out. damn retarded, it's like he couldn't think of an ending, and decided to kill off everyone, except, of course, the invincible Jet Li aka Huo Yuan Jia. even Jason Statham aka the Transporter was no match.

ah, gonna stop here.

cool, it actually works. i don't know why there is another image below my vid, though, but ah well, i'll upload the one i did on sandy's shop now. oh, and i edited the music myself. cool right? haha, audacity so fun to use...







oh, i don't know if its just me, but you have to click on the play button twice. enjoy! ahaha, you must enjoy, cause these are my projects, and this is also the first time i upload vids here...


see jem? i make good on my promises. damn i look good. ahhahahahahahah, shameless.

ps. i dont know why the vid came out like that, the pics were supposed to fade and not suddenly change. ah well, maybe it was too big.

ok, the block has ended, and now, we proceed on to the holidays. two weeks only, but still holiday.

i'll start from thursday. had the last Fundamentals of Digital Photography class. we presented the work we did over the last week. i must say, i think most of the class did a good job. andreaswas best la, even by khengli's standard he still got an A. thinks he's the only one in this year's MOI cohort. think i did fairly ok. for consultation i threw 374 pics at khengli, he picked 24. haha, good thing i didnt take out any pictures to save space and money. in this case i think money really can buy you a good grade. haha. think i got somewhere around a B-. i don't know, i'm judging from jem's work, he said he got around B+, and the guest lecturer was praising him. the guest only said that i started strong, with good pics, but at the end it seemed to die down. damn. haha, but still, thanks sandy! i'll try to burn the file into a disc for you, haha.

ok, friday. another presentation, this time for Digital Media Fundamentals. again, andreas' clip was very nice. imagine, for one scene he blended in 6 different images/videos. i think mine wasn't all that bad. alan rudge didn'tsay anything though, didn't comment. don't know if that's good or bad. sigh. but i feel sorry for that woman who was in the clip that some of us used. i turned her into a ghost, jill blew her up 3 times consecutively, and sharks-iron made her hair look like a wig (although i think this one wasn't intentional).

hmm, i uploaded the video, not sure if it can be seen. i uploaded this one cos its smaller than sandy's one. i only just remembered you can upload your own videos on blogger now. if it can be seen then i'll upload sandy's one too :)

alright, think i'll stop for now. ~fin~

it's 9am. originally i planned to be in school at 9. now i'm at home blogging. couldn't wake up, so i planned, go school at 10 but then i kept on dragging. my current plan is to leave at 9.30, reach at 11, but we'll see if it works out.

blogging randomly now, haven't updated in the past couple of days...

just realised i have access to min's blog. don't worry, i didn't look at anything, all i did was login and logout, just to see if i can. i won't look unless she allows me, which, i think, is highly impossible. kinda weird, since we know almost all there is to know about each other, and yet she doesn't allow me to view all these personal stuff, hmmmmm, fishy. lol.

out of the 150 photos, only 8 was chosen by khengli. damn sad ah, haha, must reshoot le...

hi-5 is on "zhao an ni hao" now. the hosts are talking in chinese, and charlie (i think, the blond with long hair) was nodding like an idiot, as if she understands. kathleen looked damn blur, haha, and steven, the new guy, looks damn gay with a close up shot. i want tim back!!! well, i don't watch them anymore, so ah well. nathan dress like zhipeng, collar up. haha.

blogging at 5.20am in the morning. stayed up to pick out 150 pictures from those i took at sandy's store today. no easy task, seeing as i took like, 300 pictures. had to take out the bad ones, the blurry ones, and the downright stupid ones. once i took out a few self-shots in the mirror, there was left those that i wanted, but sadly i had to cut them down to 150. was torn between a few.

oh, in case you didn't know what the heck i was talking about, it's my final assignment for Fundamentals of Digital Photography. take 150 pictures to tell a story with, and out of those 150 choose 10-20 to put together in a slideshow with music. my first two ideas for stories got rejected by kheng li. don't really blame him though, since i myself can see now that it wasn't all that great. but it kinda got my mood down for the day, cause i had sacrificed a few hours of sleep to do it, and fatigue plus self-pity don't make a good combination. so i thought about maybe following my dad to work at the construction site, but scraped the idea. then thought about staying over at james' house for one or two days to take some pictures to tell the story of a krean family fitting in in singapore, but that was again scrapped. apparently his whole family is busy.

got abit discouraged after that. first i had no camera, second i had no subject. but i decided to trust God. don't get me wrong, i still worried, i still got slightly depressed, but i guess somehow or rather God's hand would come in. so i was walking with my cell group towards the coffeeshop after my cell, lo and behold, my eyes landed on sandy. asked her if i could take pictures of her in her store, and she agreed, so that was one problem solved. there was still the camera left, though.
i asked around the cell, but no one had an SLR camera. but jackson somehow managed to convince his friend to lend it to me, so i went home slightly comforted. next day i woke up early and headed over to bugis to meet jackson's friend, and he handed me his camera. let me tell you something first; i've been using the consumer camera all along, meaning it's nothing fancy, just like the normal digital cameras you see around everywhere, just that it had some features that are needed in my module that other cameras didn't have. so here i was, expecting a small camera, but no, the one jackson's friend had was a full-fledged DSLR camera, one of those, big, black, long and large round thing sticking out that lets you adjust the zoom, with capabilities way above its consumer counterpart, and comes with (although i didn't use them) an external flash and fish eye lens, the por-fash-er-nal kind, of camera! praise God! if you look at it carefully, you can tell that God is never early nor late, but always just in time, whenever you need Him the most. needless to say, i had fun with the camera.




min came over to help me out to, by pretending to be a customer so that i could take pictures of her without worrying whether the customer would be scared off or not. oh, i have some pictured of her which she might not like me to possess, one in particular making her look like she's been drunk for 20 years straight, but i'm a nice friend, i won't post it up, but post this picture instead. i will however, keep as many copies of that picture as i humanly and technologically can, in my laptop, my desktop, my thumb drive, my phone memory card, my brother's phone memory card, the digital camera's memory card, the external hard drive, etc, etc, just in case.

the picture in the middle is of sandy and i. she's the owner of the store. kudos to her for letting me take "some" pictures of her in her store. much appreciated :)

and guys, seriously, i'm not cheaply advertising her store, but it sells VERY VERY nice clothes, especially the jumpers. go check out her store site: http://www.sanstreet.com.sg

her shop was also featured in U-weekly, where JJ Lin aka my brother (lin jun jie, lin jun yu, get it? oh, in case you don't know, that's how my name is spelled in chinese) got himself a shirt and a cap, i think. it's the issure with karen mok on the cover, just flip around and you'll find it. i bought a top from the store :)

alright, gonna run now, prepare to go for service, no sleep for me. cya.
