derek:

Put aside competiting with peers and all.
We are still under the same 'family' or so - Singapore!
We have our very own film making lalala. What I believe
is that what film makers, designers, etc are here to make
things simpler, better and to send a message across though
any comfortable mediums! So I'ved picked out some of my
favourites and those I'ved watched and place it right here!

Short Film - My Girlfriend (我的女朋友!)
   

Don't trust the thumbnail above, is really a girlfriend.
The girl selling newspaper quite cute right, don't you think so?
Alright, maybe acting haha! Not much emotions for me
but I think it was a fun film to shoot and watch.
The boss reminds me of nick and the one
working for him like jing guo. LOL.
Below is part two! :)

Short Film - Going Home
 

I cried towards the end man.
According to a source from youtube, the old woman
died because of old age and not because of this disease.
I think this award winning short film is amongst the most
meaningful and greatest I've seen from home ground so far!

Video Backdrop - Tell You Something
 

From Yours Truely
(P.S. Don't cringe, I know I'm playing the wrong notes :)
Done within 3-7 days, this video was supposed to shown
on the screens after my planned performance at a hospital
on 26th December last year that unfortunately got cancelled
and so I made a quick arrangement to perform outside Far East Plaza!

Commercial - Funeral
 

I think this is the longest commercial I've ever seen
on Singapore TV, do you think do? At least for me.
Quite a far extend for a message eh. Was the
director Singaporean? Either way it was nice :)

Music Video - Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
 

Take it a little lighter and closer, filmed by TP students,
I really love the whole cheorography. The timing,
selection of actresses and actors were very
well thought I thought. Some even
mentioned the guy in blue was
hot. hahahahaha. really? hmm.

BAH.
Why is the timing so screwed.
Why must the weather be so cloudy?
Caught the American Music Awards preshow online
and it didn't air right before the show started!
Wasted my time! -.- Mixed reactions from
Janet Jackson fans which started only when
they all noticed instead from a promise of a 8-minutes
performance, time recorded was only 7 minutes (hahaha).
GaGa did her crazy lil thing and Alicia, imo, brought the house
down together with Jay-Z for "Empire State of Mind" which I later
caught up on youtube after the sky turned darker. =.= double for that.
Going to school in about a few minutes, hopefully the sky treats me well
this coming Wednesday! Am thinking: Should I cycle to school this block?
I could save some of my allowance from transport afterall..
hmmmmmmmmmm...

Welcome back after about 10 days of not updating?
Anyways, I would like to thank each and everyone
who visits my blog and of course to those who
remembered, wished or recently celebrated with
me on my birthday! A guy like me, so full of
oneself, should be utterly grateful for the
friends he made along the way through
the journey of life.. chim right? haha.

Here's the update: do hear a cover I recorded on 16th November
on a medley of "Doesn't Mean Anything" and "Every Breath You Take".
  
I felt that these two songs sounded really similar but of a different take on a same topic
and that it sounded to me as both songs are about losing someone dearly and
feeling helpless of not being able to do anything except to make believe
that everything will be fine. This is dedicated to anybody out there who
has lost somebody that they truely love. As a few has asked me but:
I will not be performing anytime soon
but only because I have a lot of ideas in mind as I am trying out new things
and more but I can't find the time and place so I have to push back but
will update here with more information as we get closer though.

Happy November, everyone!
Don't everyone love this time of the year when the weather
is cooler and it is closer to the New Year? I love it!

Actually I find that there are so many things on my mind
but somehow, I find it pointless talking about it
because nothing good will return. Some may
already know but I'm under pressure
to hand in my work when I have to
 juggle my time with work, family
and friends - let alone personal
time for myself, which is bad
enough and now, without
being late for submission.
What's worst, I saw a post on
Facebook with the list of names
who handed in late with the title as
"Public Shaming"
It's not like we planned for it.
It's not like we didn't put in our best effort.
It's not like we didn't have our own personal timetable.
How to hand in quality work when we can't have time
to execute something good without having anyone disturbing
us in class daily? and also fail for being late to submit our assignment?
I'm not in the list but I think this is getting way out of hand and a total bullshit.
