14th Aug
National day is over, nothing v. special about it other than
watching Full House and Kim San Soon. Last Saturday went to
watch To confer the Public Service Star on JBJ by Wild Rice Ivan
Heng, starring Pem Oei. The play quite ok only lahx, 2nd part
was very heavy but Pem Oei is really a great actress on stage. I
saw Ovidia lim there also, quite surprising.
I'm back with the
comments by SSL on the script, she says its 95% there liaoz,
left some parts to touch up and lines to polish up again. Quite
happy with the end result for now, will post up the story once I
confirm and finalise the final final draft! haha... gosh, now i
know why JK Rowling take so long to write Harry Potter liaox, go
back n forth between writer and editor, then even higher
clearance and more, omg. quite ma fan but the end result is
definitely much better than the initial one. you'll see soon
enuff... haha.
7th Aug
I'm done with my canon dv script... after 9 drafts on the prose
and 3 drafts on the AV script, finally submitted my work to
lecturers altho there will be even more rewriting and polishing
to do. Has been 3 weeks liao lo, been thinking about it almost
everyday sia. From a mix between The Others and King of the
Castle, it is now truly my own and original... yay! First time I
wrote story story and film script lehx, 13 pages takes sooo long
and so much discussion and angry moment sia. Every time Rachel
fights with me over the plot or lines, I remembered during sec 2
drama workshop, Hossan Leong (yes the actor) told us not to edit
or change the script, in respect of the author. But it turned
out fine for me, haha i think lahx.
After this we will seek
for grants and $ from mda and school. Cast for actresses (the
script only got girls lehx, haha) and film out our own short
movie! Hopefully thurs we can block the shots and decide on
lighting and cinematography and effects. so exciting! never had
i imagined literature helped me so much, im so glad that i chose
elect lit instead of history. I hav so many plans for it, haha.
2nd Aug
Today is a joyous and interesting day. Mr Seah and I had to be
tour guide for THREE groups of China visitors. I was eating
halfway then suddenly Rachel called to say they've reached, I
had to rush over lahx. These are big educators and directors
level and havta communicate in mandarin and answer questions.
Basically not too big of a problem, other than those technical
terms like multi-cam studio = Duo she xiang gong neng she ying
peng etc. I guess you oso dun understand rite, nvm, sounds good
ok liaoz. Then we showed the campus concert of Kelly Poon, so i
introduced her as the Singapore version of "Chao ji nu sheng" (Supergirl
in Chinese)... where Kelly came from is Project Superstar. haha~
den they all laugh lo, yay! hahaha.
Some interesting things
like, one of them asked my malay classmate Syazwan what he's
doing. Syaz was able to guess lah, say he's editing. Then the
china guy asked if he can speak chinese... lolx! Then I had to
reply saying that he's our malay friend, cannot speak chinese.
faintz~
Then got a few of the
visitors ask me how old i am. I say im 19, one of the lady say I
look like 15!!! lolx. Then she wish me youth forever...qing chun
yong zhu~ lolx, thanks! Got a guy wanna take photo wif me, haha
really like tour guide liddat!
N the best part rite,
is that after my guide, got this NYP lecturer asked me if I'm
Singaporean! Yah, duh! Then he asked me which secondary school I
was from, I said Catholic High. Then he say "Hmm... very good
school, bilingual" then introduced me as a student from a "zhu
ming hua xiao" elite chinese school. Whoahaha!!! so happy lahx!
