Simba baby~

Simba! Cutie pie~~~ This little 3 months old is really very naughty... At his teething stage, he never stop biting and scratching... But he is the reason why I can wake up early, as early as 7.30am without Yati's call, without alarm call, but with his soft purr... I have never been awaken by any sounds, even when i hear e doorbell, i thought it was in my dream and continued dreaming. I swear this is the first unusual experience of mine... Now Im relieved that I will not be a lazy mother who can't hear my baby's cry. haaa...

best friend or not?

 i believe he's smiling! :-)

And the Semester is gonna be over...

Though Im left with a film essay, a final film editing and a business law paper due in 2 wks, it seems like I'm having a big holiday now... I guess its coz of the non stop workload that has been piling during those few months...

And finally! i get to catch the last 10 epis of Unriddle 2, 2 weeks after the final episode. haaa.. how lag is it! It was really an awesome show, greatly beyond my expectation, much much more depth compared to 1! To those who criticise mediacorp show about their story, their acting, their poor cinematography, Unriddle 2 proves them wrong! No doubt I lose faith in mediacorp shows at times, but we cant deny the fact that there are actually really good ones! and consider the small market and limited budget in Singapore entertainment industry, comparing with overseas production is not too fair.

Being in production, I understand how difficult is it for the team to come up with this level of standard. For us, it's just to create a 15 to 20 mins short film, not even half of the screen time of 1 epi. The amount of time and effort spent on pre, post and on production is crazy.  Some of our short films are labelled as TV, which to us has a negative connotation attached to it. This is condescending, not to our films but to those good tv series out there.

1. Story. I always admire the script writer on how he manages to put the stories together seamlessly. Like in Unriddle 2, with the twist and turn in the story, the story still flows very smoothly. And the play with psychology, it totally blew me off and it is something which I thought was v. v. v. novel! Kudos to the script writer! Loop holes? The story is too captivating that i didnt have time to fill those holes :P

2. Direction and Performance. most of the actors really did very well, being able to portray their inner thoughs finely which greatly influences the character development of the story. No doubt some actors are still in the midst of refining themselves...

3. Cinematography. My film friends always criticise Mediacorp shows with their use of general lighting to fill the faces of the characters (lazy lighting). There are indeed scenes due to the shots and conditions, are difficult to use film lights, but most of the scenes are pretty well lit. In Xiaoman's house for eg, ive been on set and saw the effort they put in creating the light and shots. There are very cinematic shots that I will want to copy too!

4. Editing. Very very cool editing. The fast cuts work well and the compositing of 2 shots together... The one where Xiaoman looks into the mirror and see her evil side. The editing also plays a big part in instilling fear. Be it the tight, fast cuts or sound design, they are done really well... I was trying to copy some of the editing techniques to help me cut mine better.

Oh my... Having post Unriddle 2 syndrome now...

Classic line used by Dabao, firstly on Xiao Man when Yu Ze go missing in Unriddle 1, and on Xie Lang Feng when Xiao Man go missing -
'我肚子饿，有没有东西吃啊？最好是大包，不吃，我的头脑会自动 off 掉的。’

Sorry...

I guess most of you might not feel comfortable about what I wanna do - e no presents and ohana charity fund. Probably it's the selfish part of me to do this, what i envisioned is not what you guys might like.

I found out a reason why I'm doing this. It's a way to push myself to do charity work... and to get funds  on this day would be better than on other days as the money for the presents could be used for a better cause.

I think I'm always full of weird ideas so do bear with me... this weird idea can make me happy on this day and i sincerely hope u guys can be happy about what i wanna do too... ;)

Still, sorry if i've made u guys uncomfortable.... 我是无心的～ really the no heart seh :P

爱是虾米东东？

同时喜欢两个人的感觉有点奇怪。更奇怪的是，我不清楚是真的喜欢还是一时的迷恋。不过，这些会重要吗，喜欢一个人不就是想和他在一起，之后就锁定他，不看其他人？

以前的我很保守，也还挺专一的，至少不会同时那么喜欢两个人。现在的我思想比较开放，觉得有不错的对象就会考虑。这样看来其实没什么不对。

女孩子很容易心动，不过不是每个人能够打动她的心，彼此之间要有一定的互相吸引才能配合。我印象中的对象是好哥们，但这两个让我心动的人不只是好哥们，彼此也有种莫名的互相吸引。

他说：‘你坐前面，因为XX说她要做后面。’
一直都想坐后面吹风的我听了还蛮开心，因为我不介意。最后还是坐在后面。

女孩子的心难以捉摸，我的也不例外。

青色？蓝色？傻傻分不清楚？

'你怕别人不知道你喜欢青色啊？衣服书包拖鞋都是青色！’
'至少是 different tone 咯，不会很怪。拖鞋是 turquoise 啦！你colour blind 啦。’
‘明明是青色！’
（我死都说是 turquoise)

直到我逛街时提着青色环保袋，才觉得有些别扭⋯ : /

~圆缘圈~

缘，妙不可言。

Im so glad that ive got this opportunity to attend 2 awesome camps, one in Jakatar and the other in Singapore. These are the first 2 times at camps that i can eat so freely.

圆缘。

I guess it's an affinity that i'm able to attend the lessons and make nice friends. It's all God's lovely plan.

I've learnt a lot from the speakers of these 2 camps, they come from different backgrounds, from a 20 yr old taiwanese who studies in Jakatar to a 40 yr old monk with an engineering degree. The wholesome wisdom they acquire is simply too amazing....... and being able to integrate into the mundane world is not easy.

And what's similar of most camps is the call time of 5, 6am! Over there, Ive trained myself to 赖床 not more than 15 mins... Not too bad, hope i can apply it anywhere..... :/

Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu (Rejoice)!

p.s. so in love with this song!!!! ---------->
