converting... converting... CONVERTED.
Okie, I've officially converted my blog to the new Blogger Beta-type blog.
Tedious amount of work that had to be put in... =/
After a really long time, I've finally manage to get something, more or less the same as my old blog...
Hopefully with no problems of course..
Some changes are :
a) Changed color scheme -
Black, Blue series, Green Series, Yellow series.
b) Links are more compact and easier to find
c) I (or you) can search back to the past years entries on my blog now.
d) Changed the sub-title to something stupid.
e) Corrected the time code problem on the tag board (jeez. I hate the word "time code")
f) Corrected some old HTML2.0 flaws.
Yup. Hope nothing goes wrong.... =/
oh yah. I did this because this is my 1000th post on my blog.
wowee.
*grins*

Monotony
Little things, every day.
We live, we work, we play.
Emancipation.
Nocturnal creatures plow the night,
Doing stuff they thing is right.
Endeavoring.
Andrew is currently in a comatose state.
All he's dreaming of is his bed.
Entrancing.
Separating life from dreams.
Wake up silly goose.
Monotony.
- Andrew.
I'm feeling dead beat now. It sucks when you have lots of work to do, but it sucks more when you have lots of work to do, but can't do it.
It sucks even MORE when everybody is enjoying a blissful holiday, while you're slogging off for a few cents at work.
I'll only be having my personal MacG5 in the office 3 weeks from now. Even then, it'll take a few days to configure the computer before it can actually be usable.
The editor always wants the best of everything - reality TV, live telecasts, fast-paced action, raw, live action.
But the problem is that we only have a four-person team.
FOUR people. Each one of us does :
1) Logistics
2) Shooting (filming)
3) Digitizing
4) Editing
5) HTML scripting (for uploading on the website).
Most production houses and TV stations have a separate team for EACH section. (emphasise "Team" and "Each Section").
And they have WEEkS to put everything together before it actually goes on screen.
We barely have a few days to go through all the 5 processes to come up with the final product. While the editor keeps pushing for the highest professional standards possible - RE: American Idol, Babel, Saving Private Ryan.
- In a very very short time span (1-3 days)
- With only 2 workstations (for 4-5 events concurrently running)
- While filming events
- (for me) Do photo albums
I think I'm a genius in film production already (for my age) - considering I know all the processes inside-out.
I think so far, while working at STOMP, I've got at least 30 videos to put in my portfolio already...
THIRTY VIDEOS. That is almost THREE times the total amount of videos I've done in entire LIFE.
all in a span of 100 days.
blah.
blah.
blah...
jeez. what am I working for??....
somebody remind me again.... =/

Baby Twirling Nonsense
Haha... Recently I've been busy with work. - as usual.
But stuff are getting a new twist, with a huge kick to it..
haha..... (no. its not an increase in pay).
If any of you people reading this are stompers, you'd know that there is this thing called MMSing Contest, where people send in MMSes of themselves singing to their camera phones, looking ultra-silly, and of course, who can forget - twirling. (re: Caleb).
So, the contest is finally over and the results are OUT!!
and the winner is..........
1) NOT a singer
2) NOT an adult
3) NOT (even) a teen
4) NOT (even) a kid
5) YES. A baby.
6) YES. Might be a dancer.
TA-DA!!! A baby called Caleb who can twirl!!
Which of course incurs the rage of the other 293,763,108,151,000. And here, the STOMP team goes around to squeeze out their extreme bitterness and BITCHINESS.
haha... its like super fun...
i.e.
"... I can sing twinkle twinkle little star (Caleb's song) when I was one-year old. Now, I can sing Beyonce. (four-year old)"
"... I can't twirl so much, I get dizzy."
"... It boils down ultimately to how many fingers click, not how talented you are. I mean, twirling? Get a life!"
haha... My colleague and I are going down tomorrow to interview Caleb (the baby who won $10,000) and his grandfather (who won as well). - with a total of $13,000 dollars.
*phew* had to get this hilarious bug off my chest.
Anywayz, I have been socially hyperactive ever since I started working... Maybe its because Dominic hardly could come out the past few months..
I kinda.. miss him alot...
It feels wierd... so many of our friends have had relationships between this period of time when we were together....
It feels like we're like some senior relationship specialist in the circle...
I dunno... Its never ever been difficult (for me) to stay faithful to him... there are times when we almost broke up.. and there are times when we fell out for long periods of times..
Nobody is perfect - unless you make them perfect.
Nobody is beautiful - unless you make them beautiful.
Nobody is smart - unless you make them smart.
Nobody is fat - unless you make them fat.
Nobody.
Its a simple logic. but few people get it...
When a little kid says "I think my mummy is the most beautiful woman in the world," he means it from his little heart...
Because he loves her.
Love is so easy. Yet, it can be so difficult.
It takes 2 hands to clap. One hand can be happiness, one hand can be disaster.
If one only contributes disaster, expect no happiness.
If one only contributes happiness, expect disaster.
I love Dominic. That is one thing I know deep inside that can't change....

Warmonger Nominated for Nobel Prize.
Some idiot nominated Mahathir to get the Nobel Peace Prize.
PEACE PRIZE.
Define PEACE :
# the state prevailing during the absence of war
# harmonious relations; freedom from disputes; "the roommates lived in peace together"
# the absence of mental stress or anxiety
# the general security of public places; "he was arrested for disturbing the peace"
# a treaty to cease hostilities; "peace came on November 11th"
JEEZ. He doesnt fufill ANY of the above criteria lah. Maybe with an exception of "being arrested for disturbing the peace".
- After all, he just sends anybody whom he perceives to disturb HIS peace to jail.
He gets an award for "helping out in the leadership" after he served his term in government.
Like that, Lee Kuan Yew should be getting the award long time ago already lor...
JEEZ.
what is the world coming to if people like Mahathir is nominated for a Nobel prize?
what has the world came to if people like Mahathir GETS the Nobel prize?
either something is wrong with the nomination system, or the world is going to ruins.
I really hate that guy.
Nicholas would look better with the Nobel prize hanging around his neck then him. -.-

risk my life.
A good friend of mine told me yesterday that he was selected to go for a psychological test for eligibility to get into the SAF commandos.
Bleah`~ thus, my face turned green with envy. - jeez! I don't even know my PES status yet!
The glory! The status! The honor! The achievement!
But then, what he said next struck me.
"I don't want to die in the army."
"..."
Literally, I was stunned; and halted my barrage of words for awhile...
It struck me hard... the amount of commandos that get killed in service... and the extremely dangerous nature of their job...
People die in that line.
Their names never get written or known to the world, because of the undesirable consequences.
Their names get erases with time, as though they never existed - until the day they are given the status of commando.
... but frankly, what is life without risk huh?
If looking back at my life would teach me a lesson, that lesson would be that, "If you let opportunities pass by just because you blame it on risk, you'll soon realize that your life is just a generic replication of a commoner."
Generic + Replication + Commoner.
I'd rather die then look back at my life when I was old, and realize that my life was just like the guy next door, and the next, and the next....
I've always treated my life like an author writing a book. My life is the pages, my decision is the writer's hand, my opportunity is the pen, and the risk I take is the unerasable ink that mark each page, one by one.
If I want my book to be a best seller.
I have to live to be the best I can be.
- nothing less.
Andrew is going to the final internship briefing at 1400 hrs.
