I’ve been having weird taste of music lately.. I think it’s coz of summer..
See, i’ve been listening to tracks like this.
The XX is so awesome.
By the way, Eminem’s new album, Recovery, is another awesome possum album to buy. Definitely a very different style from the old Eminem, but this album is full of relationship sensitivity.
Plus, i have been listening to Norah Jones’s tracks whenever i bring the kids to the pool or to just hanging out by the beach. So relaxing.. I can sleep to Jones’s songs.. Makes me miss sipping Coffee Bean’s Swedish Berries Iced Tea at a hot evening at Jalan Wong Ah Fook. Just sitting by the busy street watching cars passing by and listening to Jazz, so nice..
I miss Fall/Winter. Summer is too hot. Makes me NEED to swim every day. If only i live by the beach..
Labels: Life, Movies, VideoSpring semester is going to end soon. I had learnt so many things in my TV class, not in my ESL classes of coz. :P
Anyway, here are some results of what i had learnt.. It’s the experiences that counts. I am so blessed to be able to pursue my dreams here. I really wanna thank my teammates, classmates and Prof. Jennifer Joyce for the full support in this class and all the cooperation you gave in class.
This is my first directed commercial…
Many flaws huh? That’s because this commercial is edited LIVE in the control room!!! :s
Then this is my first project EVER in this class..
I was in charge with all of the graphics and the Graphics Generator. As usual huh?
It was all really fun!
And kudos to Katie’s team for such creative and fun commercial!
This end of semester, i’m gonna produce and direct a Game Show in my college’s channel. It’s actually a dating game show. Sounds corny huh? Trying to make it a upbeat and urban game show for the county. :D Been really stressed to put everything all up together before the ‘Pilot’/production day. Wish me all the best!
I finally found where i belong. I finally found what i wanna do in future.
Labels: College, Life, VideoSpring break is finally around the corner after this week pass. Which means, it's mid term. I can't believe i came this far in college and survived in TV class with full of well experienced students but in reality, i do know more things than them. Especially when it comes to graphics and sounds and computers. I am so glad i am who i am today and i am willing to learn and build up my future in this field.
We had green screen project today as a preproduction for our live TV show that we're gonna shoot after the break, LIVE. I am really proud of myself today coz i manage to bring in the lower third graphic over the talent, with another graphics at the background. Non of the staff knows how to do it except for the students who deals with the channel. Anyway, i am really proud of my team, wanna thank all of them for all the effort.
This is my television classroom.

And i just like this muaci, made by Fiona.

Owh! Btw, my friends and i planned to attend functions in college for these 2 months that serves free lunch! Damn worth listening to the seminars! Today, they serves, organic pastas, salmon, grilled chicken(so tasty) and lots more.. So delicious! I know, we are so cheap.. What to do? We're international students. :D
Life goes on..
College is fun. I am having lots of fun now in my TV Class. Last Tuesday i was in the broadcasting team to broadcast our College Men & Women Championship live on our very own channel. Was pretty nervous coz it's my first time working surrounded by 100% caucasians, plus i ONLY have experience in camcorders. It's a long day job. Luckily i was based in the control room as a CG who controls the graphic. It's a great experience.
I try to keep myself busy and making friends..
![]()
John, Hiro, Taran are pretty nice people to hang out with. And i'm starting to make friends in my TV class.
I don't wanna sound like a depressing bitch, but i really miss my friend alot. I just wish she's online or in Malaysia, or somewhere around the world, talking to me or just response all of my messages. It's really hard. I think of her all the time. It must be harder for Christine, coz she's gonna be around places full of memories..
I guess when i'm all alone, this is what i can think about, after all my assignment is accomplished. I am still hurting. Deeply.
I have no inspiration of blogging anymore. I feel like all i could think about is my pain.
I'll keep this blog. I'll write when i feel i want to..
"Til I Get Over You"
Everytime I feel alone
I can blame it on you
And I do, oh
You got me like a loaded gun
Golden sun and sky so blue
We both know that we want it
But we both know you left me no choice
[Chorus:]
(Chaque fois que tu t'en vas)
You just bring me down
(Je pr©tends que tout va bien)
So I'm counting my tears 'til I get over you
Sometimes I watch the world go by
I wonder what it's like
To wake up every single day
Smile on your face
You never tried
We both know we can't change it
But we both know we'll just have to face it
If only I could give you up
But would I want to let you off of this soapbox baby?
We both know that we want it
But we both know you left me no choice
[Chorus]
We both know that I'm not over you
I'm not over you
I know i overused this 'snowmagaddeon' word on my FB and Twitter, but it's seriously the worst snow ever that happened across the East Coast.
I am glad it all happened on weekdays, coz i was so stressed over my studies coz i was suppose to have test yesterday and i was 4 chapters behind. :S Thank God schools were closed and i am safe!
So we hung out at home the whole day. Watched Nani got Red Card. Sucks!
Nothing special. Was working.. Working... and working.
The rewards? $80!
We had some mooncakes tho, made in Malaysia

I'm not a big fan of mooncake. Like i said, i only like Jacqueline's mooncake.
The best part of mooncake, the yolk. :D

Other than mooncakes, i enjoy being with the Shogun family. They are all crazy and nice people.
Ken, my favourite sushi chef.. Always makes pretty sushis and add extra ingredients for me.
And they are very enthusiastic to learn Malay language..
Haha..
Fiona and i bought Malibu Mango for home.. So i can drink practically ever night. I think i love drinking alcohol more than ever ever since i came to USA. I drink after work, i drink at home. :D I prefer liquor here more, i think i prefer drinking cocktails. I know
how to make some.. :D
I always love this Podcast channel, Rotten Tomatoes. It has reviews of movies and they are so hilarious. This clip is their review on all the Harry Potter Franchise.
Watch it!
Been craving to have tong sui for so long, so today decided to make some Black Glutinous Rice Dessert. Since i have the car today and stupid SSI clerk lost my duplicated certificates, i try to cheer myself up by eating dessert. So i grabbed the keys and headed out for some Black Glutinous Rice hunting. After stopping at 4 marts, finally found my Black Glutinous Rice at the 5th one. Just had some of it.. :]
Finally finish watching 最美麗的第七天 (Jui Mei Lai Dik Dai Chat Teen). I love Hong Kong Love Drama series, so sweet and relatable. I am not a fan of Korean Love Drama series, always super fucking sad and never fail to make me cry like a baby! Not to say Taiwanese Love Drama, sometimes too fake and the girls always got weird hairstyles.

Anyway, Bosco Wong and Kevin Cheng’s performance were great. I always like Bosco Wong ever since i watch the gambling drama with Michael Miu(hot old man). Other than that, Kevin Cheng's character in this drama reminds me of Wankit. Always so protective, man, sweet, romantic in their own way, tall, dark and handsome. Their love reminds me of ours.
I am in the mood for 90’s music recently. I just got the urge to download Backstreet Boys’s albums. :] Suddenly miss those years.. That is when my love for music developed. Yes, i loved POP music back then.
Here are my ultimate favorite 90’s songs:
Bryan Adams – Please Forgive Me
Have you been reading my blog? I listen to this song to sleep almost every night when i was a child.
No Doubt – Don’t Speak
The only song i know how to sing from beginning till the end at the age of 9.
911 – The Day We Find Love
Sweet and romantic. Ahh.. I knew what romance was ok.
Code Red – This Is Our Song
Some guy named Randy, had a crush on me and he dedicated this song for me, when i was 9. WTH?! And i had this song on a CD, always listen to it.
KC & Jojo – All My Life
Everytime my baby sitter witch on the radio, this song will play and almost all the kids there loves it and knows how to sing, how can i not?
Diana Ross – If We Hold On
During the holidays in Primary 2, my aunt always pick us up from some English Language center in KL, she loves to play this song in the car, on LDP. This song is always played on LDP.
Spice Girls – Wannabe
All girls from 90’s loves this song and Spice Girls.
Hanson – Mmmbop
How can you not like to sing along to ‘mmmbop du dup dup do bop’?!
Backstreet Boys – Quit Playing Games[with my heart]
Jillian used to love this song, she used to sing to it all the time. Did you see Nick Carter in his cute hairstyle in the MTV?!
Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time
Her first hit and it inspired me to sing properly. That’s when i really started to sing.
S Club 7 – S Club Party
Everyone in Convent Primary was dancing to this song! EVERYDAY never failed to watch S Club 7 on Disney Channel.
Wish i can go back to that era. I feel so old now. There are so many more songs more i love back then, but i am not that diligent to put it all here.
I kinda love this song by Backstreet Boys from Millennium album. I bought it too. Back To Your Heart.
I heard Steven Gerrard is voted as the Soccer Player Footballer of the Year. Congratulations Liverpool!
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been named the 2009 Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year.
The 28-year-old England midfielder pipped Manchester United duo Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney in the poll voted for by journalists.
Gerrard has scored 23 goals this season as Liverpool have been battling to land their first league title since 1990.
"Steven's performances this season have been of the highest quality," said chairman of the FWA Steve Bates……..

Well, at least it’s not Cronaldo again huh? So overrated with that tight shinny body. Wrooney is so much cuter and more entertaining in a match. I’m not a soccer person, i am just a soccer person’s girlfriend who loves her man alot and try to make an effort to understand the leagues and watch the matches.
I found this video, a theme song of Man United.
I have a very curious question, why Man United is going to Wembly? Where on the earth is Wembly? Can somebody tell me?
