Photos:
Entrance to the kampong. Super tek glam. Look more like dumpster I know.
We rent this house for production. Looks pretty cosy. But it's freaky humid. Can't use the electricity.
Pretty! Gate to another house. Belongs to the richer folks possibly.
Others don't seem that good..
Not really clear but there's a cluster of bites and random ones here and there all over just on my feet alone.
The bites are humongous too. It was worst than shown in pictures.
More photos soon..

Finally.......after two days of intense
FYP-
ing, I'm resting at home now. Feels good to wake up a bit later and eat proper breakfast, take my own sweet time etc. etc.
Filming at
Kampong Buangkok was really like a mad rush, rushing to load in equipments, rushing to pick up cast, rushing to set up equipments, rushing to dismantle it and transporting it to another part of the village...
At the end of the day, towards night, we're rushing against time before everything gets too dark. We can't use the heavy red heads lights cause
apparently we felt it would short circuit the entire village as it did to the school office. So we got to finish up everything by 7pm.
I kept shouting out the Iris countdown. Iris is a function on camera that you can adjust to brighten what the camera captures or darken. So from a maximum closed Iris of 16, we jumped as time progress to 11, to 9.6, to 8.0, to 5.4!, to 2.4!, 2.0 and a fully open Iris. We finished just on time and it ends our intensive filming days at
Buangkok. Whew.
Yesterday upon reaching home, I do a thorough body examination and counted a grand total of
73 mosquito bites! You can never stay still in a place too long there. 1 minute standing still in a place to hold a camera angle and I
received 8 mosquito bites. Overall, being at
Kampong Buangkok is really like being cut off from the world. Feels like I'm overseas for a few days. Miss Iggy
alot too. Great sigh of relief..................tomorrow, back to school to do post production- editing. Man!

It was an itchy and sticky
FYP affair. I counted 8 mosquito/sand flies/whatever insects bites on my feet and arm EACH. Not adding in the other miscellaneous ones spotted all over the rest of my body. Altogether I think I have 30 over bites. That place is infested with mosquitoes and I'm going back tomorrow to feed them again. I was shredding myself to pieces during filming and apparently I'm very allergic to their saliva. The bites swelled up to a record size like my big toe. I was so lumpy throughout production and I disgusted everybody by poking and squeezing the bites.
Haaa...
Sigh...Had only 2 hours of sleep the previous night. Am so tired now....gonna have an early sleep. My poor baby April is so deprived of me. But before everything....I have a special something for a special someone.

Never would I have imagine a day
when we would have to
separate.
It had never crossed my mind
that we would have to part our ways.
Remembered what we used to say
to grow together till we're old.
You were there when I first step in
somehow or other, we seemed to click.
A new journey starts for us as friends.
Time goes with ups and downs that we ride,
obstacles and challenges we have to faced.
Sometimes, we did silly things
to anger each other and fight for a bit.
But as a friend, you were always frank,
I came to see it as molding me to be a better person.
My walk with God will always have you,
for you were there at the beginning with me.
Those moments imprint in my mind and heart.
Time might slowly pull us far and away
but memories and love will forever remain
Those special thoughts and moments I had with you.

I'm going out again later in the night. Sigh.........no sleep + tomorrow
FYP filming for the whole day and the next day after. And then A.C training and then editing all throughout the week. There goes my one week break. Sigh....Speaking of Asia Conference, just came back from rehearsals. All was well, till the end. Don't know what happened but suddenly everybody rushed over to Chen Chen. Seems like he attempted
backtuck and landed on his side. Entire elbow was out of place. I nearly puke, looks so grotesque. Gosh, pray he'll be fine...
Oh sigh.....again.
Hai.....one more time.
People past who pledged
people's people, hear their voice
and be their voice.
Who are we I wanna ask
the DNA we are brought up with.
Do you see and hear what they say?
Have you felt and understand their place?
Do you remember your once upon a time?
We want to share this danger we felt.
But with all due respect,
we are gone.
You got wings and learn to fly.

I was frigging late for school today. Reached at 9.20am. There was a massive jam starting way before Punggol flyover. 38574610 kilometers down the expressway, I saw the cause of the jam. A stupid equally massive Night Safari bus, which of all places, breakdown in the middle of an expressway AND at rush hour too. Rawr! I hate jams! I dun even like the fruit jams! =/ Okay. Not funny. Moving on...
I'm thinking of setting up a blogshop. Got quite a number of clothes in my wardrobe that I dun wear anymore, or dun wear at all. Quite a waste of money to throw it all away. It's all in good condition eh. Maybe apart from that can get suppliers for other stocks to sell. Or could sell my photoshop skills, design websites yadah yadah... Think it's a good idea? Need more sources of income and it's not really time consuming. Accepting another tuition assignment would probably kill me though. Two kids is enough. Hmmm. I'll never know if I never try...If the response good, why not eh? Hehe.

Messages from Water- Dr.
Masaru EmotoSnow has been falling on the earth for more than a few million years. And each snowflake, has a very unique shape and structure. There's never a same snowflake.
Dr.
Masaru Emoto discovered that the crystal structures of water from different sources and different conditions around the planet affect their shapes.
Water from pristine mountain streams and springs show beautifully formed geometric designs in their crystalline patterns as seen below in 1 and 2. Polluted and toxic water show definitively distorted and randomly formed crystalline structures like in 3.
From left: Shimanto river, Lourdes River, Biwako River.
Further research on the kind of music on water is exposed to produce fascinating results too.
From left: Bach's Air for G string, Beethoven's Pastoral, Japanese folk music
Above: Heavy metal music, Chopin's farewell song
Couldn't find picture of Elvis' heartbreak hotel. But the crystals formed were split into two.Thus, what if water, the medium of all life, were sensitive to our thoughts and words? Does that mean that our life is shaped by thoughts and words too?
After all, more than 70% of our body are filled with water.
These crystals are formed by saying words of affirmation- to the water!
From clockwise: words of appreciation, thankfulness, gratitude, wisdom, love, world
Likewise saying words like "You make me sick!", "Adolf Hitler", "Satan" produces the following:
How intriguing....
Water represents life
Water represents Holy Spirit
It's all in me...

G301 Project team.
Woots, so far so good. Having fun.
God is really good. We got a great team together.
I missed last Sunday rehearsal. Pastor Aries and all were there. Kind of sad. Cause production was delayed due to rain and worst still when it ended at 7, I couldn't flag down a cab. I walked and walked from GEYLANG LORONG 18 to KALLANG! Kind of nice place to wait for a cab ya.. It was really freaky to be stared at by those argh! uncles and women with half their boobs hanging out.. I felt so unprotected. I finally gave up and boarded a bus at 8pm (waiting for near an hour!) by which time rehearsal had ended. Then I realised, quite late, I boarded the wrong side. Like hey, I'm unfamiliar with that area and what with all those lecherous people staring, I just jumped onto the first bus I saw that I know could lead back to Pasir Ris and home. I was all the way at Balestier when I realised and by which time I sobbing badly and screaming at Iggy over the phone. I managed to hail down a cab there and cabbed home. What a miserable ending for a day.
Yesterday I freaked out when they told me this coming week there will be another rehearsal. This time with Pastor Kong coming down personally to view it. I got
FYP filming again too and definitely I'm not going to make it cause there's evening scenes. Gosh I was in such a
dilemma. And then I remembered, one of the main lead seemed to say the previous week that she has something on this Sunday. It turns out, I think, to be she mistook the schedule to be that she only have a scene on the following Monday. And that another teammate mistakenly affirmed she got scenes only on Monday too. With a glimmer of hope, I told Alissa to check with the cast again and PRAISE THE LORD! It was rescheduled and I'm free for rehearsals!!!
HAHAHA. It's God's miracle! Sings*I love ya, I love ya, I
love ya,
doo-
dodododo-dodo-
doo-dodo, I will follow you....
Okay, end of long and messy, probably
intelligible post.

I can't help but vandalized April. She really look so Ah Beng lor.
I'm happy daddy was surprised the day before. Bet he's kinda glad and touch. Simple it was. An ice cream from an ice cream van. I was on my way home and I had already passed the van. Then on the spur of moment, ran back and bought a strawberry ripple with bread and rushed back home with laptop, wallet and all my hands full. Daddy rewarded me with a peck on my head. I remember as a kid my daddy would always pass me money to run down to those moving ice cream vans and carts to get ice cream. His combination would always be with bread. I'm a happy girl =) Sigh.
Been spending so much time away from home, so many things and all but it makes me treasure things more.
Oh, exciting happenings yesterday during a.c training. My gosh. We were rehearsing 2-2-1 and suddenly there was screeching of tires and brakes and then a loud 'boom' and then a second crash from over the road. Now immediately my mind switched to many cars piling up and bloodied
ppl. I know I'm super imaginative. But it's really that LOUD. Now,
Su and Jesse was staring down and up each other up in 2-2-1. Jesse got a look of abject terror throughout. And me and Van, still holding on to
Su, were looking back in the direction the road. Then came Joshua's nasal voice, ''concentrate'' and we turned back to the front and continued timing and down popped.
Haha. Then all the squad ran off to the roadside with Jesse calling the police some more. Turned out that a car hit some safety barrier and mounted a curb. No one's hurt. For all our big reaction. It sounded scary though. Really loud man. But it's funny thinking back, all our reaction. Haaa..
Ok, back to FYPing.

Mummy bought 2 bottles of perfume for me out of the blue. I'm like 'huh?' I seldom use perfume, I had tons of deodorant though. Trainings ma. Anyway both bottles cost about $60 altogether and I give an even louder 'HUH!?'. But according to my mum and affirmation from Iggy, $60 is considered cheap for just 1 good perfume. Anyway, bottom line of story is 'thanks mummy for splurging on me.' :)

Iggy loves the Kenzo perfume and couldn't stop sniffing it. I have a feeling my sample size one will be sniffed finished instead of being spritz. Iggy and his weird antics, I like =P

Today is a slack slack day. I pon school, more of overslept. First X. For Lum Foong's class worst still. Got 2 Ds already.
Anyway, my daddy bought a new sound system. Look's pretty cool and hi-tech. Though I feel that the old hi-fi would be worth lots of money since it's so antique and still good. The bass is like woah! April can almost bounce off the walls.
And, and dearest Rich bought a twin heart locket necklaces for both of us. I think it's so beautiful. =) Thanks darling!!
And outdated pictures....
One day, Iggy came over and I decided to do a facial for him.
Haha..That was spastic.
See, his face is already rosy!
I used Bio-Essence full range of products on him.
There's even the 24k gold.
Random April pops up
I think I need a new camera? It's pretty old really. Not really sharp anymore. Survive for like 5 years already. And did I mention I finally wrote a complain letter to Sony Ericsson? They send me an automated reply telling me my inquiry is reference no. 70plusplusplusplus. Hurmph!
