Alright, I'm blogging right now when I should be doing my DiEss.

Hmm, the past month, for me,

CRAVE preps;
excessive hair loss;
imbalance diet;
insufficient sleep;
projects and deadlines as usual;

It's not all gloomy.
I'll always see a rainbow after a storm (:
I'm still being blessed, loved and growing fine.
If you don't me smiling, it's not bcos I'm unhappy, but rather I'm pretty exhaused. I was wondering the other day if pessimisim has got the better of me, then, I realised the key lies in the strength of my heart. Joy is totally not dependable on circumstances. So I've ceased to be an optimist. Instead, I've reckoned to be a joyful potato. Haha. I see no relevant in being a potato but i just love eating potatoes, almost in any forms (mashed/ baked / salad / wedged etc.), but NOT sweet potato dat sorta. That probably contributed to my horizontally inclined figure -FAT and my ill-discipline to exercise regularly.

Yong hern came to the rescue of my dreadful InMa1 class today! Honestly, Shirlyn should quit teaching InMa1. Being nice just doesn't helps. We're trying to accquire knowledge here. I'm sorry, the reality is cruel. Don't kill us as much as you're actually kiling yourself. The only reason I managed to complete my InMa1 exercise so quickly today cos Yong gave a very clear explanation which Shirlyn is absolutely lacking.

 Didn't I mention that I had TV Pro yesterday? It's definately one of my most enjoyable lesson for this semester. I had the opportunity to be a director with my beloved Production Assistant, Eman. Image hosted by Photobucket.com
He did a great job for the broadcast design! Hey Mel and Rahman, thanks so much for helping! ^_^ With regards to the camera angles that could have been improved, I've taken note of it with the other feedbacks I've received. Though I'm not satisfied with my production, I'm grateful that the recording went smoothly on eventually. Cheerios!

Being the host for kath/glenn/dharni's productions, I apologised for speaking so fast and my sudden burst of laughter. PHILOFLEX! That drives me crazy and I can't stop LOL at myself.

Television Production
Script for Demonstration (Katherine, Glenn, Dharni)
Title: Earthworm Gym

Philofile:
A very good morning to all and welcome to Earthworm Gym, where muscles and tissue combine ! My name is Philofile and this is my very, very personal assistant Aflex.

Aflex: (Waves)

Philofile:
Okay, before we start, I’d like you to note that its important to warm up before doing any sort of strenuous exercise. In fact, before the show, Aflex ran a 3 metre long route in the mountains. His body is now warmed up and his heart pumping faster, preparing his body for more workouts. Alright, moving on, we’ll start with the biceps.

Aflex: ( does bicep exercise, and grunts )

Philofile:
Take note of the starting point and ending point of the exercise. Now, take a look at his posture. Notice his left hand supporting his body weight. This not only allows the exercise to concentrate more on his right bicep, but it also helps him to maintain a good balance.

Aflex: ( pants with exhaustion before shaking his head and continuing with the triceps exercise.)

Philofile:
All right, now, the triceps. Firstly, observe his position. Make sure your posture is straight before doing it or you might injure yourself badly. Also, do remember that the slower you do it, the more stress you will place on your muscles and that makes a better workout.

Alfex: (cuts in, signaling that he’s too tired and needs a break, then wipes face with towel and drinks water bottle)

Philofile:
Well, it seems that Aflex has run out of gas and we have run out of time, but before we end, let me leave you with our nutrition tip of the day: Protein increases the rate of tissue repair and it raises your body metabolism. So, eat more meat and you will look as good as me! Okay then, see you next time on Earthworm Gym. Byebye!

-
I just watched channel U's superstar and I'm totally in favor of F5, Kelly. It doesn't matter if she isn't the best singer (which is very obvious), she's simply kinda adorable. hehz, dat's true but I ain't gonna vote for anyone.

Counting down to - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

DAY FOUR
wonder why I've been so consistent with blogging these days.

School's unusually crowded today regardless of the term break-holidays especially the design canteen.
I ordered the last serving of Grilled fish, replaced the rice with fries and nacho cheese sauce, plus an additional egg. However, the fish seems utterly disappointing and turned my appetite upside down.

During lunch,

"Are you Philothea?"
I was taken aback by Adrian's & Justin's kinda abrupt question.

"Yahhh..."
For a moment, they made me confused with my own identity.

"...You look different" they remarked.

Oh, but they weren't meticulous to the fact that I had my eyebrows trimmed. Like, finally. Haha. I had been lazy. Katherine could tell right from the moment she met me at the lift.

Freddy and Max were such kind souls. They helped me with the damn heavy equipments. Seks was the best, of cos, to be so willingly to accompany me to nexus all the way, yes, with the 'unpleasantly overweight' equipments. It's dangerously funny how we transported them from centre pt to cuppage, in that cold storage trolley. It's embarrassingly stupid in some ways but I can't do without the trolley as one of my main props. We could almost get ourselves killed along the basement carpark if any driver were to carelessly miss us. Of cos, none of them did. We probably looked ridiculous enough to draw enough attention.

Filming for the crave video at the reception included xinyi, ruisi, derrick and qianjin. While searching for more props, you wouldn't believe what treasures I had discovered in the yhope's lost and found box. Fio's notebk! It's really an ancient item, i thought. That's from years ago. And many other stuffs. Interesting. I don't think anyone bothers enough to retrieve their loss.

In the midst of our shooting, a group of policemen appeared right outside the glass door. There were about 6 of them, if I'm not wrong. They stared intently at us, as if we had just commited a serious crime. Ehh, we know it's not exactly politically nice of us to borrow the cold storage trolley but I don't think they need so much man power to arrest us? One of them approached us and asked to see the person in charge. "Nothing serious" he claimed as I called Simon to address them. Guess what, they were just present to inform that they'll be conducting a seminar on prevention against terriorism or sorta. Wah, I seriously think they're kinda slacking. Why do you need so many police officers just to run such errands?

To satisfy Qianjin's complaints of his hunger, we went to S11. After sharing a awfully sour soursop and ice kachang dessert with seks, xinyi and derrick, we took bus down to Derrick's place. Though we're running short of time, I wanted to accomplish all the filming today. I wldn't had known that Derrick is such a rich chap if not for today. The pool in his garden doesn't look as magnificent as my other frens' but I was attracted to the unique architecture of the entire building. I love his sister's room, so royal princessy! Thank God we finished filming before his mother returned home. Even so, we got so panicky when we heard the arrival of his mother's car and attempted to sneak out by a back gate if there was any. His mother wldn't be pleased to have us in the house without her being informed beforehand. Anyhow, in the end, we decided not to take any risks and go bid her goodbye, at least, as Derrick casually mentioned our presence.

XinYi and I took a cab down to CG thereafter.


My bed is calling out my name. I shall pause here. hehz.
ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzz.

Story of a whiney pear

It doesn't like it when others whine;
yet it whines.
It doesn't like to see others being hurt;
yet it hurts others.
It doesn't like to see crying apples;
yet it made apples cry.
It can live well without apples;
yet it want to have apples by its side.
It doesn't wanna let go of apples;
yet it has to do so.
God knows why.
why.

funny story, isnt it?

cont. DAY ONE
I've been out for the past 8 hrs or so but it seemed like an entire day. Just satisfied my tummy wif a mini hawaiian pizza. I know, I know I sldn't be eating at such an hr (there goes my plan for slimming) but I was seriously starving. A MOS cheese burger was all I had for dinner earlier on. I wasn't really hungry then. Anyway, all thnks to SBSTransit.com.sg, once again, I found my way to Civil Service Club and made full use of my bus consession. I was early. Yay! Hmm, dat's gd news for someone who isn't so punctual. I was there to observe a dance instructor. Currently, I'm in search of the best and afforable hiphop dance instructor in town to teach at the yhope dance class. It may sound kinda silly to travel all the way there solely for that reason, alone, but I kinda enjoyed my journey. I CAN SELF-ENTERTAIN. That's besides the pt. Traveling down Jalan Toapayoh and Balestier made me reminisce about my days in IJ. Seriously, I miss being those secondary sch days. Anyhow, Balestier always remind me of ChuaLiWen and the few crazy moments we spent at her place. She's one friend that I truly loved and cherish but I guess our f'ship don't mean anything to her now, or even anymore. Anyway, the dance class kept me amused, esp watching the enthusiatic middle age man and woman. Even though they look like they'll drop dead anytime from their exhaustion, they can dance way better then many teens present in the class.

On my way back, the bus passed by Quality Hotel. 'Rice Buffet and porridge buffet' printed boldly on the hotel's banners reminded me of fuji again. We tot of going there before. Apart from that, I was occupied with a bk I had just borrowed frm the sch library last Fri. The Technique of Film and Video Editing. It's pretty interesting. Since I met RachelXu on the train last week and caught her reading a really thick but seems nice bk, I've been spurred to revive my reading habits.

Tutor SuRui and QiaoHan, seperately, for the next 4 hrs. I received my pay 2dae. Since Emme has decided to gif up on tutoring SR, I had to carry on. Actually, I wasn't exactly in the mood to be giving tuition. It's really a tough job. I didn't know what I had got myself into when I tot I was just merely teaching them English. It turned out that I had to translate all their textbks n wksheets etc. to Mandarin. Tried explaining all the science theories in chinese and every second, I was thinking of what to say. Gosh. I don't even know what I was talking about. Mind you, I got B3 for my chinese and F9 for my higher chinese. Don't ask me why I took higher chinese in the first place and why the sch didn't allow me to drop it when I demanded to do so in Sec2.

On a much brighter note, I'm glad I was able to lend a listening ear to QH. I only tutored her for abt 30mins before she broke into tears. I should haf guessed it when she wasn't able to focus on her studies recently. She has been filled with tons of anxieties, sorrow and bitterness. Having despised by her classmates just bcos she's frm China and she can't speak Eng well. How childish of them. Her frustrations can't stop accerating as she can't even understand what her teachers had taught during lessons and no one is kind enough to lend a hand. There's no need even for her mother to vent her own frustrations on QH by speaking so harshing and beating her up. She goes on to share about her complicated family background and how she had never wish to study in S'pore all along...the financial struggles and things that she shouldn't even be worrying about. I just stood beside her, don't know exactly how to comfort her and I don't know how to express my consolations in Chinese. So, I remained silent most of the time and have my arms around her. Hope she's feeling better now. I'll probably try to cheer her up the next 2 days when I go over to tutor her for her upcoming tests. Till then, I'll be keeping her in my prayers (:

Ahaha. Anyway, it feels gd to be up early.

returned home much earlier than expected today.
planned to catch a late night movie after cg wif shuz n mike at TM but it turned out dat my entire cg went to watch Fantastic4 together, for the very first time. So we didn't pay eastHQ a visit afterall.
Though the movie wasn't that fantastic and very much cliche, it was still enjoyable cos probably I've not been to the cinemas for such a long while. Plus, I had a gd laugh. had nachos with cheese too though it made me feel kinda unhealthy.

I am looking forward to tmr!
No school for me. yay. And I've resoluted to exercise-swimming! Can't wait to get a gd tan and justify my sinful appetite for the past weeks.


TV pro class this afternoon was the other highlight of my day. I was feeling a lil exasperated when 6 of my crew members were late. Nonetheless, my grp's production took off well and I'm proud of it (: No doubt, there were mistakes made, but I'm glad to learn from them as well. I'm extremely encouraged by the affirmations of my peers. Many commented that my grp's production was the best for today. PTL! ^_^ The satisfaction for doing our utmost just comes through, in fact, we really put effort into our production package. I shall work on the reflection write up later since it's only due in another week's time.

I'll Be There (For You) by Martin Nievera

When you wake up each mornin'
and you feel like callin'
I'll be there for you
When the road seems uncertain
And you can't stop the hurtin'
I'll be there for you
When there's no one beside you
I'll be there to guide you
Catch you each time you fall
When the stars won't shine anymore
I'll be there

When the world is unkind
And your dreams they need more time
I'll be there for you
If the rules they keep breakin'
And the future is fadin'
I'll be there for you
The rainbow will end in the palm of your hand
Don't ever let it go
When the stars won't shine anymore
I'll be there

Who knows where we'll go
What will tomorrow bring
When we have each other
Just hold on tight
We can touch the skies and fly

I'll be there for you

The rainbow will end in the palm of your hand
Don't ever let it go
When the stars won't shine anymore
I'll be there
