Oh I forgot to mention outher things that happened today. I drove to the airport right. Very well, if I do say so myself. Until we were on the long straight road near the airport and.... I think I didn't check my blind spot. Well anyway, apparently I cut in front quite close to this black... dunno what car. The one that looks like a jeep but is not.

He was horning me but I didn't hear. Nobody in our car did, apparently, pathetic wheez that it was.

It was until I turned back that I realised he was actually blasting his horn at me. But, what could I do, the damage was done. So I drove on and overtook the van ahead of me, which was the reason I swtiched lanes in the first place.

This bloody phony Jeep came up beside me and swerved right so I had to swerve along to avoid him.

My father blasted the horn at him. Yes. My father. I just drove on. Didn't feel much but that brief muted flash of panic when he swerved, actually. Gone as fast as it came. It helped that everyone was feeling indignant and panicky for me. Haha. I'm always the most calm in the middle of that, cos, why spread the panic?

My dad and B-gor were saying that they would have chased him down if they were driving. But, if they were driving in the first place, it wouldn't have happened.

Not my first brush with danger as a licensed driver (and definitely not the last), but certainly the most intense and exciting.

Went to the food centre at East Coast after T3. I forgot what it's called. But the food was nice. Certainly cheaoer than Popeye's too.

I found the Sony Bravia advertisements indirectly and they are absolutely adorable.

At first I thought they were all composited. This paragraph is actually overwritten after I watched it carefully. Did they really do this? I would have liked to have been there...



And this is so cool. I wonder how they did it. Were they composited? Maybe not all but could they really have done that?



They are simply 2 of the most simply pleasant and wonderfully beautiful ads that snare your attention because you just can't look away.



Tomorrow we're going for the last shoot for my short short film. Finally. It will be at Hougang at 1330. I kinda miss filmmaking. This short couple of hours will hopefully kinder my fire again and help me get rolling into a few new projects, personal or otherwise.

I am also going to move my Screenplayer blog to blogspot as I will no longer be a member or Screenplayer come 1st Nov because of the changes they are making to the site.

Today I went to the preview of Changi Aripot's T3 preview and I took loads of pictures. It was certainly a thrill to walk freely (mostly) around the place where you normally wouldn't be allowed to enter unless you are arriving our departing. It looks bigger, I expect, than when filled to the brim with people.

Very big, light and airy feel, with all the natural light. But I must say, apart from that, the architecture was quite... blah. Nothing really fantastic enough to impress, certainly.

But I'll let you see as much as you can see from a few pictures below. The rest can be found in my Facebook account in their own album.

I caught this photo while they were looking out at the empty runways.

Then we tried emo-ing and acting like rockstars.

I was watching videos on Youtube and sometimes I just have nothing to do. So I typed in 'Gay'.

Hey. Not all of it is porn.

There's this real funny comedian. Not the best, but she's funny enough. And a gal, so I was curious when I saw the title. Watch it:

Margaret Cho - Gay Men Jokes


So I saw this other title and, please, how could I resist?

Pretty Boys III


Hai.... It's not that they're gay. Please. They really are very pretty. Girls that pretty are sluts. Guys that pretty are... wow.

Oh ya, I wanted to say that I've started training for NAPFA. I really don't know if I can last till and throughout, but I;ve decided to try.

Went running yesterday, well, the day before actually. Going again today. Maybe by myself in the afternoon or maybe in the morning with my sis before she goes to school.

My muscles are tighter than usual, as after every real exercise session. BUt the stupid thing is that NAPFA requires you be loose enough to reach beyind your toes too. It's a very stupid scheme, let me tell you. It's such an ugly mark on the transcript which, although nobody will look at, is so bothersome.

I have the best academic record since my lower primary school days and I don't want a NAPFA: FAIL on there.

Well, it gives me an excuse to exercise. But I just wish it wouldn't give such an ugly result.

We ran 3 rounds, half of the supposed 2.4km and Ting gave up halfway. Hahah. I even had a call around then from Sherry. She let me pant through the phone while she talked. Then we went to the gym but we did all leg exercises. I did some crunches but nothing much.

Tomorrow, when I go to the gym at Gombak, hopefully I'll complete a 2.4km or work more thoroughly on my body. Maybe I'll take the treadmill's stamina regime.

Swinburne asked me for my portfoliw, btw. I've gotta send it in to the IDP office. Luckily Jean Anne helped me make a few copies of CDS of our works that day.

It occurred to me that I haven't been reporting on what is really important to me. Mainly cos I forget. I'm not very good a such things....

My siblings, not including my draggy older sister, and I have tickets for the upcoming Linkin Park concert and My Chemical Romance Concert.

The LP tickets are a $128 each, which made my heart ache for me daddy. I'm a cheapskate. I totally admit. But I always said that there are a few people that I would absolutely attend thir concerts for if they ever came. LP and MCR are within the Top 5.

That... ok, yeah. It does release the ache a very very tiny bit.

But $128!!!!

At least MCR was $85 each. We wanted the free-standing $95 ones but.... I think I'll be seeing an anonymous guy's shoulders instead of the much anticipated Gerald's face, instead.

At last I get to attend rock concerts. And 2 that I really love, too.

I still haven't gotten the souveniors. I don;t really want to intrude on the rare quality time that they have cos King kor's always working. I can always get it when FP ka is feeling lonely again. Or needs the car. Hahah.

I'm part of the Fusion committee, I don't think I've ever mentioned that here. But anyway, those of you reading would know.

Now I have hardly anything to do anyway. I can only suggest ideas and comment on the current one. I don't really want to say 'I don't like that' cos I don't come up with any to replace them. But I have thought of an idea to support it. Gonna post it on the forum. I've added the link on the side. Go see, ok? Comment on anything. I know you guys are not in the committee but we need ideas. The theme is Training.

I think I had something else to say but I can't remember. Should be something else important in my own weird way.

Tomorrow going to school for a discussion, some editing (dunno for what yet), and to go to the gym. Supposed to go today but I woke up at 2pm. Then ate an egg tart and drank some milo and was super full. So waited until 4 plus to ask me dad to go to the gym but he said we were going to pick my sisters up for dinner.

So I'm super full right now.

There's another Fusion meeting tomorrow night too. Come to think of it, I have nothing to show for it. Better get cracking.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, those of you who read this blog either know it already or will have it rubbed in your face reeeeeeaaaaaaaal soon.

So I have just finished bathing, have some problems starting up this laptop and here I cam blogging. I just couldn't wait!!! Oh. My. God!!!

I just came back from the last fight of The Contender that will be held in Singapore. The final match will be held in Las Vegas. And the match was UBER COOL!!! It was cooler than Wednesday's fight!!!

I brought Qiu instead cos DH couldn't go in the end. So never mind man. Cheering is cooler with your sis.

I won't say who the 2 fighting were - what's the fun in that? I know many others would be blogging about it but I won't flout the discretion rules. It's more fun that way.

QL and I each chose a side but actually I was supporting both. QL was supporting Blue and the photographer, who is now here new idol. Lawrence-something. Red won, of course (I was supporting him). But it was sooooooo close!!!

I loved Blue too. He lost by just 1 point. 1 point. It was the greatest fight ever!!!! They were both great fighters. But the Blue supporters spoilt it somewhat, booing the Red when the winner was announced.

I mean, come one. It's a fight. A close one. A fair one. And it was just a 1 point difference. They were both freindly with each other and Blue, although upset enough to cry, I think, was amiable about it.

So we went down the stands and tried to catch them.

Red roared us up a bit and.....

I ALMOST GOT HIS BOXERS!!!!!!!!!! He threw it up and it was right above me! It was MINE!!!! Then.... I was too short. This idiot of a guy grabbed it away from me. But we touched both fighters!!! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

The hands that touched them.

Take that Serene!!!!

We asked King-kor, who got us the passes to get us in (which we are gonna frame up. Well, at least I am.)

I can't turn the pic but....

These are the people that Blue smiled at!!!!!

I love them!!! I mean the fighters. Well, love the 2 above, too.

I asked King kor to get us autographs. Or boxers. Hahhahahahahaha.......

But he most probably won't anyway. Hahhaa. But we still love him for the tickets. It's such perks that we take care of their kids for. HEhehe!!!

Tomorrow is the last day of the short internship with Infinite Frameworks. I quite like it there. But I admit the only reason it's sian is because it ends too late to have dinner with EJ. Haha.

Ting posted a stupid blog post while we were waiting for Nisah, the Post-pro supervisor (i think). Check it out. I helped out too.

Tomorrow going for the last Fight Night to choose the 2nd Finalist for The Contender. I'm going with Duan Hua, my secondary school friend. I had a dream about her last night. Well, her and my other secondary school friends. But it was after thinking that I should be spending more time with those friends I'm neglecting.

Sorry, peeps. Those who wanted to go. I can only bring 2, including moi. I would have brought a family member to even it out but none wanted to go. Hai...

But I'm not confirmed if I can even go. I'll have to ask Nisah.

I'm dying. I think it's the overload of food these few days. It was a warning. Today, it hurt real bad after dinner. I think it's indigestion. Hai.... My diet plan is failing more and more everyday.

I managed to feed EJ half a packet of bee hoon and all his fishcake!!!

EZ smiled and laughed and talked to me today while his brother lay next to him pretending to sleep and hugging and kissing him.

Pa, Ma, and Qiu went off to Genting and Ka and B-gor sent FP Ka and the s home. So right now, I'm alone in the house with Aunite Tini. Oh, all the evils I can commit...

Like clearing my facebook notifications and waiting for FP Ka to take her turn in Scrabble that I am finally playing, updating my blogs, reading fanfiction, checking my mails. Etc.

Tomorrow I'm going to attend Fight Night of The Contender which is a reality series on Thai boxing. It is also the one that I will be working on for my attachment in Infinite Frameworks. Coincidentally, King kor is working on it too, as one of the gaffers, thus the admission on tickets. I'm going with my kor-kor. YEAH!!! Brother-Sister outing!! Haven't had one in so long!!

I'm also going for more than one reason than to see people kick their noses open. But that is work-related, so read in my Screenplayer blog!

Sunday I am going with Jean Anne to Orchard Hotel for IDP Study in Australia Open Day. Bring down copies of your academics and they can book a place for you in the University straight away!!

I actually already applied via net to Deakin. But my dad asked me to apply for more. And look for some in Sydney too, as my cousin is staying there. My uncle and auntie want permanant residencies.

My mum does too. But I'm not sure if she's serious. She won't tell me out right. I ask her if she wants, so that I can plan. She says that I just have to think about what I want. Don't need to do it for her. And I one person what's the use? She needs at least 2 (50% of 4 children) and why do you need to plan?

I wouldn't even be considering going there if not for her saying she wants to be a PR there. My younger sister still ahs a chance of going and of course I need to plan!! This is another 3 years of my life after my University studies there!! I need at least 5 to bring them over. And I have to plan ahead and ready myself for 5 years of utter independence!

If she wasn't my mother, I would have asked how dare she.

Well, off to do my other works. I ahev to prepare for Sunday too!!

I actually wanted to post an entry on the woderful lunch I'm having. Then I saw this video on the main page pf blogger.



It's suh a wonderful project. I have added the link on the side ofmy page where you can go to the blog.

I found another video.



And I'm going to stop thinking or reading it so that my lunch won't taste that bland.

To help me along, here is what I ahve to say aout my lunch:

It's leftovers from last night's feast of a dinner but Asian food always taste better overnight. Well, mostly.

I have Ikea beefballs with the jam. This is one of the greatest delicacies. I have Sambal cuttlefish and chicken and another chicken and I think Mutton Rendang and Petai with Ikan Bilis. And warm, leftover rice.

Heaven

I spotted this on the side of my page where I have put a reel of YouTube videos concerning a range of tags, including filmmaking and homosexuality. For right now, in terms of way of life and moral issues, I am pretty passionate about both.

I caught a short film about homosexuality (which was ok, from another filmmaker's POV) and it led me to carefully inspect the line of videos there. You shold to. They're pretty interesting. I found another one:



He's funny. What I like about his speech is the way he spoke. Very matter-of-factly, which it was. If it were me, I'd have been trying to control my agitation at trying to get what I wsa feeling out so people could understand. He did his research too, and spoke very simply of them, so that even the people who oppose can understand.

Then I followed the thread and came up with this. And I thought The West Wing was boring. I loved the scene he made!



I found many other interesting ones that I haven't even watched yet but are waiting in my playlist. It consists of arguments for and against homosexuality. I want to understand the views from the opposite side. Sometimes, I can understand them. I mean that in a general debate, not one about homosexuality. For that, no one has yet given me an acceptable argument.

It puzzles me how people can hate others so strongly, not even people, a mere concept, which they don't even know about, and they have no reason to hate, with substantial argument to place against it.

Even to that concept, I can realize, that people just love to hate.

See, I can see sense in something I don't agree with. Can't everybody else?

I agree totally with the point John Corvino made with people hating people for loving.

That notion itself is bloody damn idiotic. I like the one about religion too, how he used religion to his advantage without directly insulting the bible. I do't mind saying that sometimes I lie awake and ponder about why people hate people for who they love. (I did that a couple of days after I saw the headlines on the newspaper about making it illegal for PDA between same-sex couples is still banned because 7/10 of the people still 'frown upon' it.) And I come up with the whole debate. I have always struggled with the religion part. But those concern my views on religion, which I will maybe talk about in the next post. But it will be pretty complicated because... I'll not spoil it.

Why they don't consent same-sex marraige yet I can understand, because a government does what the majority wants in a democracy. But if the leaders themselves are doing it for selfish reasons - leaders, in such cases, should not ahve any discrimination already, and if they do, should discredit them - then that is unacceptable.

I go back to the article I mentioned earlier. How many people did they survey? I never trust such surveys. That group of hundred or how many could have contained the most anti-gay people then the hundred beside them. You base our country and the happiness of people on that?

Here's something else I found funny.



I didn't even last the whole way through the video. I understand his loyalty to his ancestors but if they can't know them, you can't know them. Take in mind, we are discussing morals of people a thousand years dead whom we will never meet.

I'm Chinese. I know how the thinking of Asians, especially, can bring people up hating and fearing these things. My father and mother hate it. I don't.

And using laws that you don't even bother to think about except when you want to kill somebody for loving someone isn't helping much.

I have lots more to say. But I've exhuasted everybody, including myself.

It's been a trying couple of weeks but this entry proves that I have survived. Congratulate me, people. I live.

Now, with significantly less things on my, I'm able to worry fully about trying to master Final Cut Pro by Wednesday, when I'll be attatched to Infinite Frameworks for less than a week. After that, it's another bout of trying to figure out what to do, then another attatchment week, figuring, then full 3 months of attatchment.

Refer to my Screenplayer blog for more details.

I'm excited for the experience I'll be gaining. I know it'll be a gruelling test of my passion against physical hard work but I'm sure the passion will win out. I'm not giving up my eye bags and rings for nothing!!
