chapter 5

chapter 5

   Hi, I didn't blog for about 3 weeks. I've been bussy lately dealing with my life filled with assignments and others things else. Somehow, i still manage to enjoy myself watching Spartacus series and have a wonderful day every weeks.

 Its a nice series and i finished all the series, feedback from the movie is? Why Kore has to be crucified, she has done nothing wrong.

 She's a kind noble woman speak with a polite manners and caring towards other unlike most of the character keep swearing and killing .....so sad to watch one of my favorite character dies.

If you havent watch the Spartacus yet i highly reccomend  to download it so you guys can watch as much episode as you like in one day.Thanks to my homie he downloaded all episodes of series for me. Notice the actor on the poster his name is Liam replaced Andy in the second series of Sparatcus.

 I prefer the previous actor who acted as Spartacus Andy Whitfield but misfortune sees him to a long sleep due to non Hodgkin Lymphoma. 

Hmmm....nothing caught my attention lately except keep on  refining my own animation for my portfolio purposes. I mentioned before, how i feel towards the discussion with my teammate( blogged in Chp.3), I just wanna say that time i was really despair almost like falling down a dark pit, when i  felt others judging the book by its cover is like viewing the crust without appreciate the "INSIDE".

So what's the outcome ?

  It took about 3 weeks for my mentor to reply, after we had presented our stories to him, he has already left with his wife to travel around the whole Asian. ( somehow i felt like hes procrastinating his duty as a mentor for not keeping us update haha but actually he's giving me time " not to be so hardworking") He gave us his reply just few days ago using skype. I was so nervous during the time he skyped  with us,whole class, I'm a bit worried about the result, i poured my blood my sweat and my tears in it of cause i don't want to return home disapointed. So i tell you what i do during that critical moment, i tried to stay cool have a smile on my face somehow always cheer me up and make me feel lighter. Then he begins to choose our stories, with just a glance through all the stories in my group he chose mine without any doubt. Out of the blue, my story has been chosen, i felt like i was hit by a blistering swing leaving my mind empty and dont know how do i react.
I'm ecstatic and feeling relieve. I dont know how to articulate my thoughts except a word can be use to describe me that time is "Joy" currently i am in the state of 100 percent boots with confident. Then he takes another glance again and find it curious asking where's the vampire story? Yes, i was so happy in my heart because he still remember my stories that i have told him unfortunately it is discarded by voting.

  One thing i have learnt and experienced in here is God does exist, and he's the living God Almighty, Amen.

  He resuscitated me and gave me a favor, so what more can i say except  praise the Lord. Another thing i would like to blog of is something base on my experiences. Sometimes, we might be intimidated by the look of something which is nearly imposible and we stood idle to accept the fate what i meant in my case is, I'm having a great disadvantage in filling the spot of 7 to let let my mentor to choose from this 7 stories. I witnessed my stories being rejected by voting, i felt some stories is discarded simply based on the voting,  it's kinda unfair to all of us but i tried not to take things personally.I have good relationship with my mates but when it comes to assignment i am the least favourite. They chose my story which is less interesting among my others( i will publish the animation as soon as we finish the project) . My story still be chosen by the mentor.What i want to emphasize here is, no matter what problems and adversaries we face, we should'nt give up easily at least we must give it all we got, i negotiated with my mates althought they dont see eye to eye eventually they chose one of my story. i would say be optimistic and see the bright side of the worst.....it's consider worst for me, but i still have'nt give up in hoping my story to be chosen that time.

So, this is it what i want to blog.

Yup, my symbol. Cross finger and count your blessing thats all i wanted to say, peace.

*noted : this was the blog i posted month ago, just dun know why it was        deleated. Thx God i still manage to retrieve it

chapter 6

  Hi, Its 3 am, dawn, i was on my bed 2 hours ago, couldnt get myself to sleep .

So i decided to wake up, grab my pen and pad to do a little writing. Its been a really busy weeks for me. Seems like everything just came to me without giving me a pause or take a breath. Probably its not the best time for me to say, but i really want to tell my team mate plz "cut me some slack". I didn't tell them cause everyone is working hard on their own portfolio assignment and group assignment.
  I am responsible in the story department. So far i don't feel any stress or difficulty to think of gags for my story, but one thing that always concern me is......I have to duel with my friend who is working with me in the same department. He has a sense but we don't always see eye to eye due to the reason he thinks my idea wont work.Well gotta be honest in this, you have to be pretty confident when you are presenting your idea with them especially my team mate( too quite), we gotta jump out of the box, and exhilarate in the universe that's what i think if you want to have a entertaining stories and gags. We got different opinions, so in order to let your idea to be convincing you have to waste a lot of breath telling them. Yea, i successfully  talk them through because i don't want to waste most of our time thinking we are doing it wrong. So to build the group confidence and morale you have to be sure that you are doing it right. In the end, yea the mentor didn't comment about what we are doing wrong, we still in the right track and that's fine for me haha.
 
  I don't bad mouth my team mate but i treat them equally as i treated my best friend and anyone i met. This is my blog the reason i'm blogging is to record all the process i have been through during a final year group work project. So, sorry for you have to read something i pissed off but this is a blogging of a real shit. So be fortunate if somebody unknown to you share their experiences to you XD( just joking).  Sometimes, you will just feel like you're fire up when it comes to people doubting you. I have this feeling, seriously is it because of my attitude love to prank and easy going giving people impression of not reliable? i don't think so man. There is few times, my team mate wanted to change the logline and the change the decision of  primary character into secondary character. I was so fire up that time, what has already be approved by the mentor we shouldn't go and change. What would you gain? if you change things that has already approved, you only making your work even more. I would say its a waste of effort but i still managed to not let my temper controls me. i didn't let them change unless the mentor approve it, so they went to ask the mentor. Guest what the mentor says?

No!!!!

 
  Hell yeah this is what i said inside my heart. Of course its No, i mean you cant change anything just because you feel like or follow your intuition without a solid reason. Guest how much time we have spent in the discussion due to this simple doubting of teammate...... I know my team mate they are hardworking and too careful of little bit details sometimes too much if these things really stress people out. I have to bear with them because all these conflicts is basically form from too much of consideration of making a kick ass animation. I am different, i have an average skill of technical but i can think quite flexible and quick cuz i have a wild imagination when i was kid so i am very clear of the big pictures and clear of the direction of we sailing to. However, i would only keep all this in my mind without telling them shouldn't doubt me because i am going to prove them with my actions instead of my tongue.
 
  After the incident, me and my team mate we all grew stronger bonds( at least this is what i think).

Its been joyful to work with them last couple days and i cracked a lot of jokes to make them laugh, this is my way of group work, work under no stress and enjoy it. Most people work hard just to accomplish things this is the way i don't think its work for me . So that's the different between me and my team mate. You can only be yourself let people accept you, of course you have to be tolerate and considerate other people as well. I am blessed with team mate that are so hardworking and i m truly honor to contribute my ideas to them. This is God arrangement my friends(unknown readers), so i have to walk the path my father has shaped for me. Amen
  BTW, this blog suppose to be updated last 2 weeks ago, but  who cares? This is my blog, peace.
