Camp was good...But FRANCO TOOK THE STAGE!!!!
As u know...I'm back from camp...and for those that don't, now u know...DOTC 2 RAWWWOOOCCCKKSSSSS!!!~
Ahh...just had to get that out...shouted in my mind as loud as I could while typing that...haha. I am really grateful that I'm in Franco, formerly known as Revyn.
Well initially, I was a lil worried though during DOTC1 for the fact that there are only 3 guys & like dunno how many gals. But those gals proved to be more than meets the eye. They were like Yi Jie said...Neither guys nor gals...in betweens...hybrids...oh you get my point. But that an awesome thing, to be look upon in an optimistic manner! The guys remained as guys...yea. In short...We Rock!
Oh I guess that there are somethings that is not too perfect too. communication break downs tend to occur, that can be settled I guess, just have to set the frequency right. I guess its just that we have to all kinds of great Ideas that leads to confusion during discussions. Somethings like static and connection errors when ur on the hp, com & cable TV at the same time. Well, theres always something like Starhub to fix that problem in technical sense, as what they said in their commercial.
But for us, I think its like compromising and being firm in our stand, supporting each other, yea...that would be even more awesome than we already are!
The most memorable times I had fun there would have to be the station games, the night walk & the mass dance. I guess its the same for everyone since those were the highlights of design camp! Haha! I got pretty freaked out during the night walked during the time we were in the guys toilet. I knew that there were people(ghost) inside, I was about to stretch out the open the door when one of them suddenly just rammed open the door, with me & Lina just beside the door. Yea...Freaky...even till now. Shh...don't spread that.
I really LOVE the people in the group because for our group, "It doesn't take all kinds, we just got all kinds"
Kudos to Lina, the best Gl in our group! I guess she really deserved it for she was the one that really led us all and we unknowingly tend to look to her for directions. Shes cool. Since shes on the front line, there would be ppl that works behind the scenes and I think that people like Myra, Vivien and Sabique would be the best description, I would give them credit for that.
We don't really hear them shouting and stuff, probably because the loudys like Crys & Angie engulfed our voices. We're loud...its just that they are louder. What a BOOM!
When we run out of our voices or maybe we lack of some stuff, who do we turn to? Yuan Ming of course, the welfare of our grp, at least the most prominent one in terms of meeting the needs of our grp members...Then again, we would always need to plan well to prevent troubling the welfare person and Evelyn would be the person. I mean shes pretty organised and she knows how to sow...after all, she from ADM.
We got director Ben that led us in our performance night. Hes knows what he wants and his ideas are much different from us. Speaking of differences, Sam is also someone that sees things in a different light. He see things in 2 perspective and would often lead to a conclusion that neither way is worse that the other. In this case, we would be at lost of to what decisions to make and we got the firm and straight Carissa to do the job. Shes good in pointing out the flaws that sometimes we don't see and she is very meticulous, which is a good thing.
When Franco says we got all kinds, we definitely got all kinds, even cute ones...haha. If you were there when Amaris did her cute voice thingy with god knows what in her mouth, you would wanna record it down and put it as a ring tone....haha. Shes awesome too in her own way, size - would really just be a word in the dictionary for her case.
Oh yea, my partner in the play, Paul, hes is really one heck of a guy that is a supportive person. In a sense, he greatly supports us in whatever we come up with and has no qualms about it, well, maybe a lil, after all, we got all kinds and all kinds have got different perspective.
I would also like to include the super freshies like Joey, Ivoly & Shian as a part of us for they are really great, considerably that they are freshies. They ain't called super for no reason, I assure that.
Oh yea, of course, theres Yijie and Chrys too...our Fa(s)...Special thanks to them in guiding us far. I think would wouldn't have made it without them. =)
Its pretty sad that Christina & Valerie couldn't made it due to their hectic schedule, I would really preferred if they stayed on. Its sad that Noverm can't attend too due to her illness, hopes she gets well soon and joins us in the real DOC!!
So yea...I guess that pretty much about about it...tired...I should rest...I got no pics...I do but Im just too lazy to post. USE your imagination to think of the fun I had... =)

Nothing...just getting ready for Camp
I realised a need to blog daily...I think it really makes one reflect about their day and perhaps, their life.For me, I am just too bored sometimes, like I've got nowhere to go or something to do. So if blogging enables me to kill time, well why not?
I had to help my Dad today for some setting up of curtains in an apartment. I finally realised what he meant by he can't really do it alone when did what he did. I think my Dad is really one successful guy. He is just an ordinary laundry man earning what not even manager of today would earn. I am not saying it to boast about how rich I am, In fact, I am rather poor in a sense. But, its how God came into my family and made things happen. Oh Thank God.
2 years ago, I still can't even afford a Starbucks coffee and I have to save really hard to go chill there with my friends. Today, I am still in the same situation, except that I don't really have to safe up, I would just spend less. There is a difference.
However, my life don't revolve around Starbucks coffee, I would rather give that sum of money to do something good. I guess I did. Then I ponder about it, looking up in the sky. I realised that we sometimes are so busy that we forget the beautiful things in life like the sky. Very often, I would just look up and see what wonder God painted in the sky and yes he is the greatest artist I have seen, through his works.
So I tried to be as good except, in Photoshop. Oh well, in any case, I shall get back to Corinne May's works of wonders. She just inspires me...
I'm going for camp tomorrow...I guess I have to say that since I put that up on my title.

Bring the dead back to life
I guess I was pretty busy these few weeks...so much so that I didn't had time to blog...oh well...lets just do re-caps for now since I got too much to say...but I don't want to say too much..........
Hung with Nicholas till he flew off for Thailand Mission trip. - A piece of me is gone
Ended Project 1 with Bangs & applauses! - Happy
Finished watching Bleach till the latest episode. - uhh...fine
Fell in love with Corrinne May's new album - She's a talent that God sent to ease hearts
Went to celebrate the end of Project one with few friends! - Nice....
Gained Experience from a movie production. - Fun & awesome
Went to pick The Australia Crusade team from the airport. - They were glad
Thanked God for painting the sky. - I will still give thanks
Made new Friends. - Of course I love that!
Celebrated Irene's Birthday. - She was Happy and still is
Worked out after like...I dunno...so long... - I must say, I'm getting old
Big Plans for an animation competition - Just do it
Met up with Franco(Revyn) - We still rocks! Zai team!
Caught up on some photoshop skills - Still need to learn more stuff
Emotional tremor - Argh...hate it
Chilled with old friends - Ahh the good times
...end...thats all so far I guess
I must say that I really do not like to be interrupted when I'm talking. Its disrespectful and I would lose respect for that person too by cutting in his or her speech. Also, if one does not favour my concepts, please tell me straight, rather than to try and find faults in it and make it not possible when I'm freaking sure that its possible. I got many ways to kill in words, I chose not to. Don't push it.
Then again, Spit and Kill, breaks the Crew, for this reason I shall not kill.

Hang Buddy
I have been rather free lately after the production period...its Raj's turn to take over the post production...So instead of just killing myself in my own train of emotive thoughts, I decided to hang around with my buddy Nick. Its always fun hanging around him, always make funny comments out of nothing. Yea...and he walk endlessly just like me, except that I do have my limits.
Its seems that the friend that I have always yearn for, one that would actually chill with me when Im bored is always around me. I think its cuz hes free as his exams are over, for now.
Recently, we went to the IT show and this was what we took home...
Alright man! That guy at the back was nice enough to loan us their weapons for the picture...haha...
Hanging around is great...at least it beats thinking too much. Stuff just comes back to me...good ones that is which deem it rather haunting cuz its hard to move on...oh well.

Working hard...
My my...I haven't been blogging much...cuz im really packed up with my project 1 production...I am so busy that I am rarely at home. Even if I am, I will be watching Bleach(I just started watching it a week ago)...or I just spent my time thinking on how to create new graphics or concepts for the future.I guess things have been moving very slowly except for the fact that I got a new Hp Laptop! Wow! Finally after like 1 year of waiting. Realy gotta thank my uncle and parents...they provided me well...Thank God
However, I am still not used to using the keypad and the touch mouse thingy...Argh...Like a friend of mine said...1 word "Cui"
Oh well...just hope that the mission teams of crusade are doing well.
Sometimes, I think too much about stuff even when I am so caught up in production and Bleach and friends.
Don't judge animae in a different light just cuz they are not so realistic, sometimes I think that their ideas are pretty awesome! The graphics can be as good too!
I have to keep up with the flow, gotta learn how to socialise better.
Gotta stop being random...at least I think I am.
Look forward...to greater days ahead.

The Leap Years...
A promise to meet every 4 years...
I watched the leap years yesterday and I thought that it left an impression on me...oh yea...The show was great.
Well...one thing for sure about that show is the great execution in the framing of shots...I was like wow...its so...Good.
The other thing about it is that the Love story is not as cliche as I thought it would be after all. I kind of like the way the story was told, like jumping back and forth across the time frame of 4 leap years. They didn't even leave out subtle feelings that aren't as important, I think it was this that made the feel of the movie pretty real.
However, the one thing I do not like is the change in artistes as they age, I mean like, it would have been better it the original artistes remained with just some make up to give the aging feel. After all, they didn't really age that much.
The original feel I had for the trailer compared to the movie was rather different. I kinda like the feel of the trailer better I guess...kinda weird and its hard to elaborate. Overall, I think that the shows really good. I would recommend people to watch it. However, be attentive in the feel of the show for if you don't get it, then I am afraid it wouldn't turn out as good. For a Singapore film, I think its ones of the rare few that I have seen.
People should really watch the real deal before even giving comments like wannabes, copyright, it sucks, no don't watch it and etc. Even the trailer itself to get such attention. I guess that is what I call good advertising, see, it sets people thinking after watching it.
Waiting is really and indeed courageous and strong...to wait for the right one...
Oh well...we can't really stop the expressions can we?
