The Making Of Choco-late

I wouldn't say something about how tired was I,

because..

everything I've sacrificed is worthed..

I will just show how tired was I..
it's like-

No doubt, it is CAIS (library) - 24 hours room

After workdone, it's 5.40 a.m.

No doubt, I managed to control Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.

My first time touched it, and I owned it.

So..what we've done was this.

No doubt, they are my chinese production crew mates.

They accompanied me on post-production - editing.

They gave me suggestions for every scene transitions.

Standing at the middle, my Producer - Sieu Chen.

She is good on doing things..

things she had done are always tidy and neat..

sometimes even perfect.

She arranged schedule for me, categorized shots schedule for me.

She calculated budget, she bought something.

Sitting at the right, my Director of Photography - Peuh Ing.

She is good on doing things too..

things she had done are always tidy and neat..

puctuality and quality perfect.

She controlled the movement of Panasonic DVX after my orders,

she downloaded sound effects, she did proposals corrections.

Thumbs up for both of them.

If they weren't there, Choco-late wouldn't exist.

Some photos taken on those days we had been together.

Oh..the one stood at the middle..

is my Angel No.1

but too bad, she had refused to be my star.

In Editing and Digitizing room..

with my coursemates.

We were digitizing our tape into digital format.

They are in different group with me,

which is called Psychotic Production.

My team has including me 3 chinese and 3 malays.
They have 5 chinese in a team.

Kee Wu, my only chinese male coursemate.

Thus, in my class has 2 chinese guys only.

I'm the director of Lunatics Prod.,

and he is the director of Psychotic Prod.

In our respective production,

there is only 1 guy,

which were us.

..zzzzZ

Due Date
30th August 2010:

It's today.

I just went back from videography class after 5:30 p.m.

At 2 p.m., we handed our project to Ms. Miaw,

my videography course's lecturer.

She has played our short films in class just now,

accompanied by a tutor from foreign country..

technically critiqued and orientated us.

I ain't showin' off..

instead, I just wanna jote down all this..

to be my motivations..

and to fortify my memory.

So..

Ms. Miaw has praised me.

She said,

the way I do framing for shots from different angles..

the way I shoot those shots for different scenes..

the way I bring my story out..

the way I see things..

are creative.

I can continue these works...

it can lead me to a different direction with my own patent..

and brings my styles out to the audiences..

Lastly, a 'very good' in the end of her critique.

Whereas,

the Mdm. tutor has praised me,too.

She said,

the director, succeeded to visualize a story..

My shots are very special..

creative enough..

I appreciate all the comments so much.

I will keep it up.

Non-stop enhancin' myself..

no matter theorical or practical.

Thanks to my lecturer and tutors, my crew mates,

Senior Jia Yi and Psychotic Production (friends' prod. name)

Even I had spent up my days and nights just for this..

I'm still very happy.

At least..

my name has finally appear..

in a film..

Choco-late
thanks a million.

Add-on
Ohh..
Kee Wu told me he saw Ms. Miaw and tutor's eyes became teary..
when they turned to face us,
but I didn't realise anything.
I wonder was that true..
but I really hope that was true.
In addition, the foreign tutor told that my shots are..
extraordinary
...thanks


Maybe my confidence affects..
or some psychological effect..
I didn't feel anything there is good to be praised..
but still,
thanks


A long way to go...
and I wish you could meet me halfway..
..hah..

I was so lucky, on my first day I came into Unimas,

I was bringing my big luggage along, searching for way to go..

I met two seniors from Music programme.
One is Elvis, and another one is July.

I said I am Jun, we laughed.

And so, they brought me to do registration step by step,

followed me all the way long.

Till the last registration of college..

they walked together with me for the long distance,

just to help me.

Thanks Elvis and July.

They are my first 2 friends in Unimas.

It's so difficult to find a person like them..

on earth

Last week they had their concert.

I delayed 30 minutes to my class.

I went to support them.

It's really cool, music..

At the right, July and at his back was Elvis.

On second day, I met Kah Liang a.k.a Christopher.

I call him Chris.

He is in Fine Art programme.

A Sarawakian from Sibu.

The second day I already went to class.

My very first lecture in Unimas,

Visual Analystic.

After the class, I met him.

He said he knows many chinese friends from my programme..

He then brought me to CAIS (library)'s 24 hours room..

to meet my coursemates.

I still like to be with him more,

though, I have met my only male chinese coursemate..

we always have our lunch, dinner and supper together.

I like the way he talks.

It's kinda funny sometimes.

the first guy is Chris and at the back is my coursemate, Kee Wu.

On the second day after I met my coursemates,

they rented a car to Kuching.

I followed and drove..

..lol..

We went to "The Spring" shopping centre.

We went to "one TJ".

We went to eat everywhere.

Oh my second day..

I'm adapted to it.

They are my coursemates.

2 Chinese guys, and 4 (+ 2) Chinese ladies.

Everyone looks normal..

right hand side that girl, Su Peng,

is the only outstanding one.

But she flirts with Kee Wu..

..Haha..

The second day I met them,

I saw the way they flirted each other..

every touches..

every interactions..

every words..

So, I confirmed they will be together on one comin' day.

they are now together..

in a lovely and sweet relationship.

They don't tell us they are in a relationship..

but they do show us.

..lol..
thus..

don't ever flirt.

Stay sweet~
