Erase/Rewind

Today was the final paper that I've sat for college, pengajian Malaysia, or also known as Malaysian Studies. The last time I felt really nervous before a paper was Marketing Management for my 2nd semester last year. I just hope I'm able to pass this, which means this is the first time in my life that I went through a school year without failing any sub =D

Nevertheless I do have my packaging design final assessment to do and next year January 5th, the class and I would have to present it at the college's gallery to my lecturer and a few invited guest. I'm excited for this last project before internship, but also well, a lil bit sad that its been almost one year gone. And it was like just 12 months ago I started my 3rd semester by grouping with the April intakes.

Starting out I didn't really talk to them at all, but give it after a semester (yes, it took me one whole semester before actually befriending some of them), we're close enough to call each other silly names.

For this final semester of projects before internship and exhibition, I had the honor to be able to work with them for my digital video & audio final. Jessica, Jeremy, Yung Tyng, Balqis. It was one hectic month of preshoot, filming and editing before we could finally render it into a 10 minute video. Our video project has this mix of sci-fi, action with a dose of drama theme. So imagine time-travelling, a car chase, shoot outs and what not.

Yes the lecturer actually gave us a 7 minute limit, but one whole night of compressing and cutting out any unnecessary scenes, we were down to 10 minutes. We tried convincing the lecturers that since our group got 7 members and it is only fair enough that each have a minute plus to direct, but they were quite strict about the rules and to them its unfair for other groups to only have 6 minutes of less while we have 10 minutes.

Well, no one asked you to give 7 minutes, we would have been really happy if you have gave us 10 minutes. So here's the final cut, and hopefully Benchmark Productions would release a director's extended cut, with minutes worth of extra footage that had been deleted off.

African Americans in Paris

So I just watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 on Youtube, and few days before I actually got to see it, a few of my friends posted links of performances on that show.

And one of them was, "N*ggas in Paris", probably in my opinion, the rap song of the year. I didn't really liked that track after the first listening, but then again I thought since Kanye's 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'was awesome at the first listen, I give it a 2nd chance.

And shit, I frickin' loved it a lot. Clever lyrics and that heavy, heavy background music. 


N*ggas in Paris received heavy air play on American radios, N*ggas in Paris was performed at every special guest performances, N*ggas in Paris was encored at their Watch The Throne American Tour.

N*ggas in Paris, should be in your top 10 or even top 5 rap/hip hop tracks of the year. 

N*ggas in Paris, should be your alarm clock tune, your message tone, your ring tone, the one you jam to during the peak traffic hours on KL roads.

N*ggas in Paris, is just class rap. I just don't know how to describe this song. Love it or hate it, N*ggas in Paris is just, awesome =)

The Wedding

 So on 19th of November 2011, my bro got married to the love of his life, Joyce. The wedding was held at St. Francis Xavier Church at Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya. Rehearsals were done on Thursday evening. And I brought Elizabeth along =)

So an hour before the wedding started, my leather shoe's heels came off, both of them. I had to drive all the way back to Elizabeth's house to take his brother's shoe.

But thankfully, I wasn't late for the main event.



Happiness.

Final registration.

Walking out as husband and wife.


Ohana.

Black and Blue

So here's what happened. Today before the final day filming for my Digital Audio & Video assignment, I tripped and fell just because of missing a single staircase step. Both knees, left elbow and my left side of the waist had bruises. Black and blue =/ 





Went through the whole day walking in pain XD

So its that time of the year when I'll be wondering, why good things with cheap deals only come to me when I'm short of cash to get them =/

So far I've yet to get a call from any company regarding my internship, might wanna go back to Adwizard Sdn. Bhd. for 3 months. I mean since I've worked there for a month last year December, I thought it'll be nice to help them out again.

Then again, it'll be nice to do internship elsewhere. I'm struggling now.

Bye Bye PPSMI

So the decision on Maths and Science to NOT be taught in English is FINAL.

Thank you my dear Deputy Prime Minister, for screwing up my future kids' education in such epic fashion. I wouldn't mind if it was bilingual, but NOOO!!!! Just because some people think giving up Bahasa Malaysia for English is unpatriotic and un-Malaysian and what not, you listened to them. Your decision alone upset the majority of the parents who want a better future and education for their children. Your decision made us go BACKWARD instead of FORWARD. France, Germany and Japan, these countries that are able to use their own mother language to teach and develop science and technology because they are ALREADY ADVANCED.


"One can be patriotic in Malaysia, but then tell me, HOW MANY countries in the world is using our "Bahasa Kebangsaan" in their speeches? Yea, the French speak french, the Germans speak German, the Japanese speaks japanese and so forth, BUT comparing their English level and of the English level with the youngsters in Malaysia, the youngsters in Malaysia loses out more! You complain of your Rakyat being too western n etc, but do you know, oh wise Minister, that in the Western schools they have to take 4 additional language subjects whereby 1 of it MUST be English?! " (Patricia Naumann, The Malaysian Insider, 'Muhyddin Decision on PPSMI Final' comments)


I might not be able to vote for the upcoming General Election, but telling my parents to NOT vote for your party is FINAL >=)
