FML

miss X. said she wants to see my NUM photos very much.

so, here is one.

as I received all the raw files a.k.a not edited photos, i had to edit on my own.

as I have NOT edited any of my photos before, pardon me for my poor editing.

so, I'm your new NUM ambassador*. hehe.

anyway, today was a real bad day.

i overslept. late in meeting my team for filming. supposed to be 8.15am at cityhall.

i arrived around 9am.

sorry!

then moved to raffles place.

and walked back to merlion.

cos miss J. wanted merlion. while miss D. and miss X. rested, I brought miss J. there.

haha. i'm the only one familiar with the roads.

brunch.

at 12pm, reached SP.

super tired.

1pm. studio opened. rushed in.

started digitising.

1.30pm, pestered Mr. E for equipments again.

from 1.30pm till 3pm, was waiting for signatures, running around and recording.

3pm, catching people at Dover MRT.

4pm, back in studio.

here's the bad part. you will understand better if you're a dmc student.

back to cut 7. tried digitising the interviews. digitising is the process of video clips in order to edit them. failed.

went to cut 11. tried log and capture there. failed.

no choice. got my ass to classroom.

i had a hard time switching on that machine. it accepted my tape.

then i tried log and capture. didn't work.

then I stared at the machine. THE TIME CODE WASN'T MOVING.

OMFG.

i went to tell my team at cut 7. apparently, I'm very calm. calm face, calm voice. they felt, 'no big deal. yin qing can settle.'

i walked around the whole studio, trying to find mr E.

told mr E. in my again calm face calm voice.

he also thought nothing wrong. I managed to convince him to go from the control room to classroom.

then he saw the machine. scratch head.

then started pressing things. and he said, "you must click continue."

i said, "I know. I clicked just now. cannot. so I redo."

then he say, "see. now ok lor." and he clicked.

Then i said, "nooo. problem is, you see. the time code. stuck!"

he was looking and looking.

he said, "firewire not here how to capture?"

i was like, "nooo. now not firewire problem. is my tape stuck in the machine!"

then he finally realised.

so i went to tell my team. again, they like, "ok. sure can settle." face.

i damn sad you know.

then E. sought the help of mr S.

i went finding sammy and nic for information.

when i returned to cut 7, my whole team was serious. cos' mr S. and yong jie told them what exactly happened. then all of them moved to classroom to see.

damn. yin qing, you must learn to change the tone of your voice.

then E. switched off the machine.

and then, it couldn't be turned on.

how's my tape now?

still stuck in the machine at studio 19, server 47.

really FML.

F. our lives this round. my whole group's.

then how?

what how? tmr re-film lor.

omg!

don't omg me unless you can save my tape.

everyone was like trying and trying. but still the tape was stuck inside. :(

did i mention? the CA is due tomorrow.

but good thing. extended.

and E. nicely loaned us the equipments without saying anything much.

dmc peeps, you know how he works.

people of SP, can i request. if you can, please be at dover mrt, 9am,

we need your help.

very sad lehs.

cos miss J. really took a nice shot today.

everyone loved it.

then the dumb machine had to eat the tape!

anyway, i need my toe nail to grow. any ideas how?

the little toe. the toe nail came off.

so, through these few days, i realised a few things.

number 1, I'm really very nice tempered.

miss S. pointed this out to me. okay, i can be angry with you and everything. but i'll be okay very fast but I do remember everything.

then when you really infuriate me, that's when everything comes out from me.

who has ever seen me blow up over a small matter before? really.

but when I vent out all my frustration, I'm alright after that.

It's like, volcano eruption. the massive eruption.

number 2, I put others before me.

regardless of what matter, I always think of others before thinking of myself. even if it means I'm at the losing at. I'm not selfish. if I can let you have you have your way, I'll.

I'd rather be the one at the losing end then to offend someone else.

I'd rather be the unhappy then letting someone else be.

I won't be calculative over this unless you treat me very unfairly in return.

I don't want to quote any examples.

So, perhaps, I should start learning to place myself before others. Make myself happy before others are. But I don't want to be selfish.

Even when I'm the one suffering, I won't let anyone know. Because I don't want them to be affected by me and turn unhappy too.

number 3, I realised the matter which took place 1 year back doesn't matter much to me.

if you are one who listens to what I say, you will know. if you don't know about the call, then forget it.

i only found out that it doesn't matter today. somehow I had the feeling.

number 4, yulin. remember the question i asked you that day?

i got my answer today.

it screamed because it wants me to remember the pain inflicted on me, not because of other reasons.

number 5, i am really very busy.

you know. there are lots of nice movies out in the cinemas. I want to watch them. but really, i can't seem to squeeze time out. when i have the excess time, I am really very tired.

i thought I can rest this weekend. then there's a graded assignment to be done.

so I remember one sentence which I typed beginning of the year. or rather, one which i said during EMP.

it should be 3 or 4th Feb.

i said, "Now is a very wrong timing to get a boyf/girlf."

it is very very true. well unless....

number 6, I'm not a superwoman.

I have my weakness. I don't know myself till today. I only know myself a little better.

so quit acting like you knew me inside out.

you know nuts.

so now, I don't want to fall sick.

flu almost approached me.

cough as well.

but they didn't.

so gastric, please don't as well.

i know my meals have been very irregular these days but please, i don't like you.

lastly, if there's anyone who wants to make me happier, treat me to Koi, okay? :D

then again, cheyyy. who will be so nice.

okay, i'll update soon. in details.

this post was only about today.
