GRASPED TIMING skills, thanks to Kristine and my other unnies, who were so patient with all the amateurs to timing. I, obviously, was not supposed to attend the meeting but I felt that waiting for episodes to appear as the final product is definitely not a nice way/ behaviour to have. So, I thought that I should learn something so that I can contribute as much as I can before uni starts/ if uni ever starts. =))

The first meeting for the staff members. Finally I have some new contacts and I created another hotmail account, specially for them. Sadly, Gmail does not work so well with messenger and the extremely important chats were not logged. So, I decided to create a hotmail one. Obviously, no one will be interested in having ALL MY EMAIL accounts so that is really fine. Interested? Just ask me.. Muahaha.

Spent days in front of the computer meddling with the video and I am rather amazed at how the program actually worked such that it can insert subtitles - either audio form (in the form of sound waves) or by slow play (whereby you click on arrows and the video moves from one frame to the next).

Also, I really look up to the anime expert...haha, Jie will kill me if she knows I forgot his name for a split moment. Hayao Miyazaki. Is that it? Yup. He drew every frame for all his anime productions, example, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, PONYO! ^^

Although, Jie and I did not really get the storyline of his latest movie but we totally love the cute characters plus the music. Haha, I (or we) sing it to irritate my mum whenever she nags. Jie will just laugh it away. Guess she doesn't really know why...but the above just answers it.

Went to BB and walked past the swimming complex. Aww! How I had to resist not entering the pool? No one goes with me! Everyone is so busy! It's terrible!

With just a couple more days to the release of the results, I am totally not anticipating for that day. On that fateful day of the announcement, I would probably be stuck somewhere..contemplating whether to take on that challenge to go ahead. Err, best to keep it quiet when mummy is around because if it fails, she will continue to nag again. Yah! She and her improved nagging skills. Even I can't beat her!

Anyway, I faked through some expectated A level result but they never got back to me. Haha, guess their standards are a bit too high or it is because they are the govt companies and results must be known. Gee..

Gee gee gee gee...SNSD. Gosh, their song made me obtain high scores for this particular FB game that I am addicted to. So, I have decided to become one of those fans because of it. ^^ Kill me. I promised myself not to keep it but it's mean feat has made me conclude that this song is here to stay - on compy.

What do you think? Went for this interview with them promising to get back to me the next day but nope, it never happened. Bah! But it is alright, given that it is more tempting to jump into the pool than to walk past it everyday. Swimming! I want to swim so badly. Why is everyone so busy? Maybe they are not that interested in swimming than me. But it's okay...shan't trouble them as much as I can. ^^

Oh yeah, the plus thing about that place is that everyone there seemed friendly. Seemed......but looks can lie. The place, if I imagined it was dark, it could spell trouble for me if I accepted it. So, there you go, I think I more or less rejected it.

Shall wait for Tuesday then. Ahhh!

Last of all...Kristine, what's with the encoding! I just don't get it at all. She said it was super simple. Save, abort, check video quality. But the more I look, the more I am not satisfied. Aim for a 30 min video is for it to be of a maximum of 200 mb. None meet that criteria. Some went overboard, but the quality is promised. Shall ask her another time when I meet her online again..some time tomorrow. Maybe I should ask another fellow encoder instead.

Alright, given that the release of the results are nearing, I shall commit myself to the computer until then. Haha. Right, the days are getting shorter.

Good news is that the release of newer episodes is imminent. And we take pride in them so I guess, please do expect good high quality products. Till then...

Hey everyone! Haha! No drive=no update!
Because...me lazing at home has nothing interesting to blog about, except for seeing this huge gigantic Crane, which is used to lift up the steel containers of the lifts. I could have taken a picture of it doing its amazing job but I prefer watching it from afar. It's name given? Mr. Crane. ^^

Almost got a job but decided that telling lies (about me being able to continue a full-time sales assistant job) is against my moral values, so I requested for the lady to help me ask the HR if they can offer me a temporary admin job - and that location is not the matter. Somehow, I knew my mum will not be happy..but it is alright. First interview? I did not think I did badly. Muahahaha! =)

Next up, I will just call up the offices for possible job positions. Now, tell me, why am I taking so long to find one job? Partly because sending resumes for first-timers are not welcomed in inboxes. That is for me..that is for my mum.. That is not for me. > . <

Brenda asked me if I wanted to go for the NTU talk tomorrow...and I took a glance at their website. Besides the B.Sc for Biological Science offered, I was not interested in the rest. Even then, I prefer the Life Sci course in NUS because I felt that they covered the areas that I am interested in and also because of the professors there. Accountancy? I prefer pursuing it in SMU and perhaps it is me being picky..

Went for a swim with Jie and I really missed the feel of being in the swimming pool again. Not just any pool but the one that I genuinely missed for the past 6 months or more. And although my hair will go haywire for two to three days, it is thanks to the chlorine that I get my hair colour for the past years. I am totally in for swimming any time. ^^

13th Feb:
I will be going to see Mr. Crane tomorrow but I do not anticipate the fact that I am not able to have the full-view of the garden anymore. So, I hope they take a longer time doing the lift. (Dream on!) I hope that building the lift will not change the wind direction.

She does not respect it at all and I detest 'that'. For years, for years...
If it continues, I guess I will start inviting ppl to the blog instead. To protect it...

Do you really think that I need you to search? What is your real motive?

Chinese New Year for me is almost done for this year, with Sunday as the last official visit to my home. Afterwhich, everything will come to a slow crawl..

See how my MSN nick goes for me? I am free almost everyday. Boring.. Not that I am finding anything to spice up my life so Internet is how I kill it. Indefinitely.
I am bored and the only way to kill time is now...should really get things moving or I will just waste it away. Yawns. I hate myself for being this lazy but I find it too irresistable.

Peace.
