"Courage is the way we face up to everything..."
And somehow, every day I will go to Bukit Timah for various reasons on my way home. Coincidence? No idea.
I went to digitise the footage shot, and came up with a short outtakes reel. It was really funny, but there's funnier ones in time to come...

Saturday 22nd March- The day where half of my ISP film has finished its principal photography. A huge sigh of relief, because I never thought I'd manage to shoot 30 plus shots in one day. Huge thanks to my production crew, who came all the way to East Coast to help me out. Thank you Chee Harn, for being my cameraman/cinematographer. Many good suggestions and good framing. Thank you Xi Jie, for being the one who tracks all my shots. Without you, the scenes would have been a mess! And sorry for The Bayshore/ Bayshore Park misunderstanding. Moi's fault. Hee. Thank you Aubree and Melissa, for being my Sound People. That boom mike is huge and the mixer was heavy, but you two still did your best. Girl Power! Thank you Colleen, who had to endure a queer look from the security guard at The Bayshore because I gave the wrong condominium name. Two Words: Bayshore Park. And of course, for pulling off the seduction scene with a straight face. I really didn't want to yell Cut and see what'll happen. Thank you Feliuliu, who was doing ballet in the middle of the scenes, and popping back into the frame when she's no longer supposed to be in the frame. Most of the NGs will be dominated by you, or of Colleen because you made her laugh! But I really liked the last part, where you and Colleen delivered what I was trying to achieve. YES! And of course, the largest THANK YOU is reserved for Denis, who so graciously allowed me to film in his house (and make a mess of it at the same time.. hee). Thank you so so so much. I promise to try and make lay ups that have 99.9 percent chance of going in. 可以看到自己的故事展现在眼前， 我十分高兴。 毕竟， 这是我从中学时就想做的。 属于自己的一个作品。 可以和大家分享的一个道理。 저는 영화 감독입니다 . 감사합니다. I had a great filming day filled with laughter and surprises around the coner. Thank you people!

Around this time, the semester always ALWAYS turn into a full-fledged nightmare.When one has writer's block, one has writer's block. I wake up everyday worrying about ISP and I go to sleep everyday worrying about ISP. Bunny bunny bunny bunny bunny- I think about you all day and all night. Could you come to me in a dream, and tell me what will make you break? Would you stalk her if you can't ever get her? Would you sacrifice all for the sake of love? What will you do? What will you do that will make my story become better and more exciting, but believable? I hope I dream of you, and maybe see what you'll do. *Bunny's my main character, by the way, in case anyone get any funny ideas.

Driving Ms Daisy.These few days, these few rainy days I should say, has dampened many people's feelings-- including mine. I just feel so tired, because of all the assignments that's been, well, raining down on me. (I can't resist it!) Didn't even realise it until Saturday and Sunday, where I started stoning mid-conversation with Jas and gang when I went to the IT Fair. But then, these assignments were quite fufilling, I must say. I'm seeing Gestalt everywhere I go nowadays, and being able to hold a conversation about Salvador Dali or even the art of Typography has made me a lil' proud of myself. (I'm worldly now!) If not for the sickening computer voice in MacLab3 that tells one that the computer automatically shuts down, I bet all of us would have been prepared to camp overnight in the lab. But it's okay, because I get to drive my big sister home from her workplace, although it's nowhere near ntu. Well, nothing's near ntu, speaking of which. Many times, I found myself parked along a road in Raffles Place, waiting for this Ms to be pried from her work area and go home. Sometimes she assumes too much, and I end up waiting for her for a very long time. But it's okay. It beats going home alone.

Dreams are my reality?After hearing my sister talk about a very weird and disgusting dream which she had the night before, in which she sees a man being eaten by a monster and ends up decapitated, I had an (unlucky) opportunity to experience a weird dream as well. It felt very real, like any other dream. You would treat it as reality if you didn't wake up in your bed. And even though it never was about decapitation, it's still a psychological nightmare. Maybe Freud was right. Maybe there is a subconsious, where our innermost fears reside, and attacks us when we dream. Nevertheless, the relief I got when I woke up was great, to say the least. Oh anyway, on a very different issue, go to the Perspective Film Festival! It's a uber cool film fest, organised by uber cool people. Happening at the National Musuem... oh shoot, I forgot the details. Nevermind, I'll update again! (see, felicia cathy joyce fizza, I'm sooo supportive.)

有时候， 有时候。。。- 王菲的“红豆“ Deanna has lept the year 2008 with Leanne. - I've to write this statement down because we've agreed to meet up for the next leap day, and do the exact same things again. But, not mounting the kerb at Bugis Junction carpark LAH. "Leaping the year" feels like jumping up and down, but I believe we were quite well behaved and refrained from fledging our arms and legs everywhere. What disciplined kids. Well, these days go down quite slowly. My nimble thumbs haven't had a good workout, and then some. Legs have been sore- went shopping with Sivalingam, who told me it was good that I have acquired a taste for shopping. This taste was hard on my wallet, but what the heck. It's true, Deanna has become a shopper! So overall, I had a good recess week. Except for the fact that a certain item has not made its way to my hands... a certain $73 Topshop cardigan deemed too expensive by moi.... nevertheless, it made my heart flutter like never before. Must have been love at first sight. An overstretched love at first sight. Hmm.... the heart's still yearning....
