As we didn't manage to find elderly doing Qi Gong on a bright Sunday morning, we have to wake up early again and head to the small park in Ang Mo Kio to film them.
So it was 5.30AM - Brush up, shower, breakfast.
630AM: Met Shu Wan at AMK Park and start our morning shoot. Thank goodness the aunties were all very friendly and they allowed us to shoot. They are dying to go on TV and be some TV stars. It was real fun with them and they even invited us to join them for kopi cum breakfast!
730AM: Finish shoot, head to MRT back to school.
9AM: Reach hall, pack stuff and head back to school for ANOTHER SHOOT.
1015AM: Still in the damn bloody slow shuttle bus. Im sorry if you don't like to hear this but allow me to make a small lil' complain about the AH TEONGS which I really can kowtow to them.
If you say Singaporeans are kiasu, I think that's a very wrong statement. Or perhaps this wasn't the case for NTU Singaporean students. In a bus stop, u can clearly recognise who are the AH TEONGS and who are our fellow singaporeans.
Those that die die want to get on the bus 1st are usually our dear AH TEONGS, unless our fellow singaporeans are late for lessons. If cannot get up the bus, we will just wait for the next one. Or at least, we won't be dying to board the bus first. So scared for what? The bus won't leave without you what. If it really does, wait la! Will die meh?
For instances when the bus is full or they didn't manage to be the first to get on the bus, our dear AH TEONGS will MAKE SURE that they die die have to get on the bus no matter what. So? They SQUEEZE like nobody's business.
I mean it.
Me, carrying a big bag, a paperbag full of fragile glass and a lagguage with a camera, trying to board the damn bloody slow shuttle bus (bus uncle is another dear AH TEONG who always give the stuck up and heck care look). I would just wait for another bus if I am early. But the problem is, I am already so bloody late. See that I only have a pathetic small space along the boarding steps, I still decided to lug all my stuffs up the damn bloody slow shuttle bus.
So in front of me, there were a group of Ah Teongs. Seeing me carrying a camera lagguage, like a siao cha bor, with a big bag and a handbag, they just continue talking and don't even have the common sense to shift in at least a step, for mi to put down my lagguage. Until I stare at them with my killer eyes, as if Im going to kill them anytime with my precious sibei expensive video camera and die together.
So they moved in and I managed to at least let my lagguage rest on the floor. Note: I am still standing at the boarding steps with a big bag and a handbag with a fragile glass round fish tank.
Guess what? ANOTHER TWO AH TEONG was dying to board the damn bloody slow shuttle bus. And they really did! Cuz they just push their way up, SQUEEZE ME like a sardine, step on my toe till I can just fall to death with my lagguage.
Of course I didn't fall lah. But you know the feeling of being SQUEEZED in the middle, that u can hardly breathe and u still have to protect the precious sibei expensive video camera with that stupid bulky lagguage.
Oh mine, at that moment, I just hope that i made a big loud noisy and smelly FART that everyone will just get down.
So the damn bloody slow shuttle bus travels slowly and made its stops at every bus stop. Then together with a big bag on my shoulder, a handbag full of fragile things on my hand and lugging a camera lagguage on the other hand, I get down at all stops to let the people alight.
What's worse? When the bus reaches Canteen B bus stop and I get down to let the others alight. I waited for a while, seeing that nobody is alighting anymore, I sapped my failing energy and drag the camera lagguage, big bag and handbag up the bus once again.
And guess what?
Two female AH TEONGS were too engross in their own conversation that they forgot to alight earlier.
Fuck, so ME, with messy hair, sweating like nobody's business, camera lagguage, handbag of fragile stuff and a big bag with me, alight the bus again to let them get down the bus.
If I do not need the fish tank for my shoot anymore, I will just throw it at their head.
It's so FUN to alight and board the bus with so many heavy things! WOO! -_-
And finally i got down the bus. I met Shu Wan on the way and the first thing I said was, "f***".
It doesn't help when three small girls are doing video fyp together.
It doesn't help the bus is so crowded.
It doesn't help when the AH TEONGS are around!!!!!
Ok, end of my small lil' complaint.
so 1030AM, we started our next FYP shoot at our TV Studio. Need to create a mystical scene, showing a fortune telling lady. I think I can be the prop woman liao cuz I source for all the materials and arrange them in a cool way.
It is our first shot for the video, so it has got to be captivating and attractive enough for people to have the passion to continue watching.
Photos below:
We took very long to trial and error the lightings. It was difficult but when u get the result, u will be super happy.
Looks familar? My cloth! My candles (from hall)! My tarot cards!
Ok I noe. LAUGH AT ME, come on! I thought I have wrapped myself well enough so that i am not that recognizable. But the whole world still recognise me! OH MINE! Am I so easy identifiable meh?
Anyway, Im supposed to sit there and shuffle my tarot cards as thou Im some mystical secretive fortune teller, like those u see in the shows. (not for eerie purpose please!)
I think it looks damn cool. Though Mary says I look like some Middle Eastern Woman.
I searched high and low for a crystal ball so that I can film it. But it was a futile attempt. And in the end, my dad brought me to MUSTAFA on Sunday night and get a round glass fish tank! SO STUPID RIGHT!
The shopping experience with my parents were unplesant. So I shall not bring it up.
Anyways, yes, i have to cover the top with my hand so that it looks round. FUNNY RIGHT!
You cannot believe how much / thick eye shadow and eye liner I drew. I also cannot believe because it irritates my eyes immediately i applied it and it is damn hard to wash them away.
And it took my 20 minutes to remove the black nail polish on my fingers. I didnt have cotton wool in hall and damn, i couldnt clean it properly and there are still black stains. I don't want people to think I got poisoned, so i cleaned it away. Now, i think people will think im dirty because of the black stains on my fingers. Damn. Good job Miss Ow! -_-
The shoot ended at 3pm, then we went to upload the stuffs into computer before going to lunch.
330pm: Lunch at Canteen B. Seriously there is nth nice here, considering the fact tt i ate 3 times a week? I was hungry till Im not hungry anymore and didn't even finish the plate of rice I bought.
430pm: attended marketing lecture with Yong Tian and i fell asleep 10 mins after I sat down. It wasn't because of the lecturer but I was really tired. Then I was wrong. It was by a new lecturer and he seriously mumbles and mumbles to himself and doesn't know how to talk properly and gives super boring notes and lecture that once again, i fell asleep. of course, Yong Tian was busy reading the car forum and msning that he didnt pay attention too. LOL
630PM: rushed back to editing room and join the girls to continue editing our documentary. It's mid feb and we have to die die show the supervisor our rough cut by tomorrow no matter what.
930PM: I forgot the bring my lappy charger to hall and thank goodness Ah Yi travel all the way from home to bring mi the charger. THANK YOU YI! SHe also bought waffles for us!
10PM: Editing room suppose to close but we continue editing.
1115PM: We have finally did a we-think-it's-not-that-bad rough cut and packing to go home. There's no more bus and damnit, CS and HALL 11 is freaking far. Well, being a HAM-JI (aka timid) woman, I am really afraid to walk alone in the dark. Thank goodness Shuwan agreed to accompany mi to walk back to my hall before she goes back to her hall. THANK YOU!
12AM: Reached hall, FINALLY. it was indeed a long way back hall. Switch on the computer and our FYP supervisor wants to meet us 3PM tml, so called the girls and liase for a while.
1215AM: slowly make my way to shower, brush teeth etc etc.
1245AM: Started to blog. I have yet to finish my draft report, havent even got time to open the book to do reading, havent finish up my drama journal. Just kill me.
2.09AM: Just finished blogging. I have been awake for close to 24hours and Im freakin tired. I need to wake up at 8AM to go to school and continue editing at 9AM. and im left with 6 hours of sleep.
That's too much for a Monday!
No wonder my tuition kid said this to me on Sunday:"Teacher Maureen, why your eye bags so heavy and you got dark eye rings!"
DUH! NO ENOUGH SLEEP LA!
I can't wait for the holidays to come. Although it will be 10AM-10PM editing EVERYDAY.
*I need a hug*
