I dunno if I'm supposed to laugh or murder nor wo TAK aini.

She gave me this Mechanical Contrivium shit.
And it said "10 top trivia tips about Natz".



Let's see what a virtually-programmed nitwit has to say about me:

Natz has little need for water and is capable of going for months without drinking at all!
What the hell.
In honest fact, I drink gallons in a day.
If I drink too little in the day, I'll start filling up at home.

Edinburgh imports three thousand kilograms of Natz every year!
3000 kg of me?
I'm fat.

Natz became extinct in England in 1486.
Kanasai.
I'm supposed to migrate to England!
And shit, I wasn't even born 'til 5 centuries later.

Natz cannot jump
That's it.
I'm outta here.

I'm terribly exhausted...
But I had an awesome time at FOP.
Thanks to club:g, camp colleagues, facis, almost as spastic year 1s.
And of course, STA. :-)

This morning we were made to mix the Ribena.
Which turned out quite awful even after numerous taste tests.
And believe me, there was a hell load of testing going on.
But it sucked anyway.
I guess it's coz we took the water from the handicap loo.
:X

Anyway, thanks banyak-banyak for the great time guys.
Esp. my classmates from E24Q, E25A, and E25G
(we don't have a definite class do we? ;) )
and the Babis.


















See ya'll in school!

We actually thought we were bust today la.
Apparently we got caught for chair-racing.
We were supposed to attend the Disciplinary meeting,
armed with at least $50.

Oh yahhh.
I borrowed $50 from my bro to pay for the fine.
And he was piiiysed.
So eventually he came up with an income AND expenses kinda sheet for me.
So that I could keep track of how much I spend…
And learn to save!
Tsk.















And here’s a new addition to STA:














K erm, just ignore my face.
It’s actually a doggy tag.
I can’t help not taking my own face if it’s reflected in the tag.
Robot's name is STAmpy, designed by Ee Shaun.

And we're all getting one!


Finally I’ve subscribed to podcast!
Thanks to
nor wo aini!
Phoo-yo!












As you can see, I’ve only downloaded 1 item... some Techtronic sound thingie.
Sooo, long way to go!
Nyeargh HA HA HA.













Happy retards.

Damn. It. iBeenpissed.
By an existing life-form ever-seeking for mutual respect ...
Mr BBC.

Arghhh. Agrrr. Mmmph. Gffrrr.

He didn't seem to appreciate the video very much.


... Justification didn't appear strong as a team and so team learning seemed low...

... It was a shame there was no concept/gist of a story, but a kinda of eclectic montage of sorts...

... The resulting sound editing into the visual resulted in some marked loss in the meaning of Romance/Drama for the audience...


And the 2 almost literally killer statements:
... The team needs to reassess what is realistically achievable to answer problem and start at 2pm...

... Not the strongest of team presentation, nor team learning - even with 45min extra time...

*stoinked*

We love you too Eddie.

Thursday: Dear Esther Lauder brought us Hershey chocs.
Wooopee!
Dark chocolate with almonds.
As I unwrapped my Hershey,
I couldn’t help but notice some colour similarity
between my choc. and the dude sitting in front of me.

So I held the Hershey against his arm and said,
“Lionel, same colour.”

I just pissed the man. Lol.

Then we recited some tongue twisters.
It was so kachang putih and rojak,
it sounded more like a slur of curses.

Peterpiperpickedapeckofpickledpepperapeckofpickledpepperpeter
piperpickedifpeterpiperpickedapeckofpickledpepperwheresthepeck
ofpickledpepperpeterpierpicked.

Kachang-ness.


Friday: Nora and I went for the film screening.
And I had a blast ‘coz…
Royston Tan came!
(He’s the director of 15, Cut, 4:30 etc.)
His movies are all numbers. Dunno why.
The one coming up is '132'. Lol.
And he’s also a friend of Lavaman!
Wakakaka. Qool.





































He actually had a talk at another lecture theatre
then he came to visit us after our screening.

















After all the hubbub, we took a photo with him! Lol.
Actually it was supposed to be just Jannah and her friend.
But we all rushed in anyway, even Ee Shaun.
Hahahaha.

Phooo. Truly inspirational dude.












Mut brought her panties to school!
She dumped it proudly in the middle of our table.
When Lionel was trying to plug in his adaptor he said,
“This is the first time I have to move panties instead of wires.”












And Yahya looks very nice with a panty on his head.
I’m sure Nora would agree.
Hakakakaka.

Hmm… this week is starting to look better for me… I think…

The first 2 weeks were really stressful
‘coz we just had an entire month of R&R
Then WHAM!
We had it full-on in the face.
(clean thoughts... please)

We were being brainwashed with cinematography, aboriginal art, cave paintings, design principles, oral traditions, creative concepts, story-telling, image composition, drama, emotions, expressions, lights, camera, ACTION!!!

Nyearh ha ha ha haaaa.

Think I’m going nuts. Literally.

So yesterday we had Film Crisisism.
It was about film editing so we went back to basics – graphic novels!
Heeeeee.
It’s not that simple tho'.

You have to consider the sizes of panels,
The images drawn,
Close-up or wide image,
Angles,
Shadings,
Colours,
Sizes of images,
Significance of images...

Yadayadayada.

So these are some of our panels.











An ant hill.











A car driving on gravel.











Our so-called 'storyboard'.

Oh yeah… before I leave I just wanna say…

Don’t ever heed love tips from me.
Love isn’t a toy to be meddled with.

Words are easy to say but…

Love is something valuable you should truly cherish,
just like you do your skateboard.

(Mr Ong, you know it) :D

Honestly, I don't catch up with GE but...
nowadays i can't complete reading ST without getting pissed.

The first thing you see on the frontpage of Home is,
"SDP split widens"
written in probably font size 100.

Yo! Even if it's true, couldn't you put it on like page 5 or 6?
You HAD to put it right smack on the frontpage
where everybody could see it.

And behind those words,
exploded 8 times bigger is a picture
of 3 SDP people sitting at the KOPITIAM
looking UNhappy in discussion.

Page 2:
"Four more SDP leaders to say sorry"
in a font bigger than usual.

Page 3:
"PAP has not kept to its promises: SDP"
in a font 2 times smaller than usual.

How come PAP's statements always get bigger space???
Unless if it were defaming statements, then the opposition gets the glory.

Pages 6 & 7:
- The Gomez saga

Written in fonts so BIG, the headlines took up 2 pages long
"An issue that cries out for explanation"

Then underneath those words there's a blown-up photograph of 4 people.

In Principles of Design, we learned that a dominant image is one that
catches our eye first due to contrast, space, colours etc.

80% of the photo was taken up by 3 random people
and their gigantic yellow, purple and red garlands.
And at the back, out peeks the head of Mr Gomez,
taking up less than 10% of the photo and almost out of focus.

And at the bottom it reads:
'Mr Gomez, seen here at a rally with East Coast GRC candidate Eric Tan, Ms Lim and Mr Low, admitted he had not submitted any application for a minority certificate.'

Ironic. They were trying to force attention to him.

So they printed out 2-page long FULL statements made by the ministers on Gomez.

And on the 2nd page, written in smaller print is,
"Apology sincere, let voters judge: Low"
Low Thia Khiang is WP's chief.

Who exactly is defaming who now?


The rule of journalism states:

- Your greater obligation is to your readers (even if the sources want the story to appear a certain way)
- You must use judgment and always keep in mind the need to be fair.
- You have a responsibility to your readers.
- You must tell your readers the truth — even if it angers your sources to hear it.


Their mind game's not gonna work on everyone.
