Wednesday, January 16, 2008

This week's a little more lax at school because both my assignments (which are due this week, depending on your tutorial time slot) were dued on Monday. Somehow, I don't think I put in a lot of effort for my multcamera proposal. Let's just hope I get at least a B.*cross fingers.

Oh, and if you have grabbed yur copy of The New Paper yesterday, you would have seen a familiar someone's face in there. hahas.
I was actually surprise at the amount of people who called/sms-ed me to 'inform' or poke fun at me. Even my own nephew called me... so funny! Now, that makes me wonder.. how come so many people like to read that tabloid thing of a paper? I mean, everything inside there is sensationalized! They have a habit of twisting words and facts that will offer a totally different (not necessarily positive) perspective. Then again, that's media for you... the ability to set agendas.

School has been depressing lately. Or rather, to be more specific, our lecturer has been showing us very depressing shows on the German/Nazi wars. Thank God they are not documentaries or I'll be the first to protest. First it was Schindler's List, then Silence of the Lambs (Cannibalism) and today, The Pianist. Sure, all are great films, beautifully shot, great mise-en-scene but having to watch it, week after week is really depressing. Especially when they start to mercilessly kill innocent Jews..for being Jews. I just don't understand how these Germans can do it...its the whole ethnocentrism. Hold on, they didn't even view the Jews as humans but parasites. Yups, like I said, depressing.

Thank goodness I watched a light-hearted show last evening with Shawn Paul - "Dan in real life." At first I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be witty, humorous and cinematography was shot with a soft finish. Totally awesome! So worth the money and time. Then again, the company I had last night was equally entertaining and comfortable. Hope I didn't bore him! Hahas.

I'll be emceeing for the Youth Matter's forums this Friday. Hope all goes well. Minister Lui Tuck Yew is coming.. BIG shot..
Radio segment/group project is next week. I'm dreading it really because I was never one for words. It's always easy to sit on the other side of the radio and criticize the disc jockeys but its a whole thing of a difference when you're in the hot seat.. pushing all the buttons and getting the conversation going. Tough, tough, tough! But I'll pull through! I'm sure I will!

(I want to be an achiever! A high-flyer, if you must put it. My ex couldn't stand a woman being better than him, therefore.. my EX. There! I said it! Stupid MCP.)

It's all about Me.
