Final Assignment... =O (EPIC WIN!)

Well me and my buds presented and handed in our final assignment today...marking the end of this very short semester...albeit a memorable one...great lecturer, great classes, great homeworks...I can't believe I just said that -_-...but yea...all in all...I haven't had so much fun studying...

So here's how our final assignments came through...

DAY 1
So me, Fabian, and Siva went to the college's library to brainstorm our arses off...despite another delay (Fabian's car ran out of fuel and we had to save his butt...literally) we were able to come up with a few ideas, and ended up way off the original plan...but that's the beauty of brainstorming...you'll never know what comes out of the nut job of a brain we have...In the end...we took an ass load of pictures in my place for the video *Note that we were only allowed to use still frames for the video*...then when we're done I had a disagreement of ideas with Siva, went on for quite a while but we eventually worked out our differences and compromised...putting a lil bit of the best of our ideas into the video...

DAY 2
I woke up in the morning with a headache...nothing unusual since I get that sometimes when I overslept or simply rolled into an uncomfortable position while sleeping...but my health spiralled downwards rapidly throughout the afternoon...resulting a fever, slight dizziness, sinus infection, and lack of strength...I was feeling so bad I was sure I couldn't finish the video editting in time...so I called Fabian and told him to ask Siva to handle the video editting...after going to the doc's, taking some meds, and having some rest...I decided to do what I can about the video editting...Something weird happened to me though...My sickness went away as quickly as it came...by 10pm at night I was up and around like nothing happened...so I continued with my work till the wee hours in the morning...
*I think it's cuz of the bottle of beer I drank the night b4 XD*

DAY 3
I spent a huge chunk of the day wrapping up the video with some tweaking...to synchronize the still frames to the song...with some help from Max who's got nothing better to do on that day...and some further brainstorming...I was able to finish the video for good and even have some time for a game with ZH...


DAY 4
Day of wreckoning...I was really nervous how the whole thing will turn out...plus the fact that Siva did a video of his own due to me falling sick and all...we had to choose between the 2 videos to present to the class and lecturer...but it was an instant win when I got mine out and showed it to Siva and Fabian...we all decided we should go with my version of the story...and guess what? The whole class loved it...including the lecturers...we received a great round of applause when we finished screening the 1 minute clip...and damn...that felt really really good...I really didn't expect that it would turn out to be so well received...I just thought it's kinda lame though I still put in a lot of efforts into it..."It's very entertaining and interesting, with good camera shots and good music too"...these are the exact words of our 'film critic' Ms. Hazlin AKA the lecturer...I'm rly glad that my work has paid off...What a GREAT way to end a sem...with a very loud bang...=D



I'm dedicating this video in special thanks to Siva and Fabian for a job well done, and of cuz to my elder bro that has been dropping by here every once in a while to check on my well being...=)


Presenting you...Beer is GOOD!!!

Enjoy!



That's all folks

Wow

Well it's been a while since I last updated my blog...been quite busy and preoccupied with stuff lately...mainly assignments and all...and I still have one final assignment to go...seems interesting though...and hey...I guess I'm getting my life back on track...not much slacking these days...=) Though the final assignment is due this coming Friday and my group haven't even started work yet...I'm quite confident we can finish it in a few days...Though we'll really need to put our mind to it...

Haven't been playing much of MT lately either...most probably cuz I misplaced my fuel receipts and about 150 bucks went out the window just like that...that means I'm kinda short of money...well no exactly short...my budget is just right to get me through the day...so unnecessary spending might drop me into a hole later...

Saying that though...Just went to the movies with Zh a few days ago...watched Max Payne...Really glad how the movie turned out though...it's the best game based movie yet...=D instead of making up stuff of their own the film crew had stayed true to the plot of the game...which would make a great movie...well all in all...it's worth the 8 bucks that I paid for it...

Sigh...well it seems like I'm not the only one getting all tied up with stuff really...never really get the chance to chat with nana lately too...sigh...I miss her...<3 fun times lol...

That's all folks
