It went spectacularly

MEDIOCRE

yup... we got a crappy fourth place... nothing to shout about and super disappointing... I'm not one to complain about decisions but I can't help but feel cheated in this case... I have no idea how the other two teams beat our video... if you want to take a look, and judge for yourself... go to www.drive4food.com and check out 2nd and 3rd place... assuming you've seen our video.. if not check out kuachi too...

pretty much an anti climax to be honest... but I expected as much... at least i know my peers... the future of videos recognised our video as one of the better ones... its the future that matters... not the past...

any way.. its sunday and I'm dreading the week ahead... I'm way behind on assignments... I've just done 1 out of the seven assignments due... its gonna be a bad week...

on the bright side, term is coming to an end and christmas is on the way... I'll get to catch up with all my old friends on the 28th... its like our yearly gathering... haven't made up my mind if I want to keep it exclusively to my old friends or to mingle them with my new friends too... maybe I'll have two barbecues... *Shrugs*

tmr I have a presentation to do... so that means I'll be dressed to the nines... Thamboo's presentation and he expects the full formal out fit... sigh... I hate wearing my suit... but I guess I bought it for a reason...

I'll get some pictures maybe and post it on my blog :)

later days people

Well well well...

Guess what! Tmr's the big day of truth. We'll see exactly how well or badly our video did in the competition... we've been told that we're top five in the competition. So we're guaranteed some cash in the pocket... its just a matter of how much.

The thing is, 5th prize is RM500 and 1st is RM5000! Thats like ten percent of the big cash bonus if we don't get first place. Gah! Wait its not 'like' it IS 10%. I'm slow at maths :P

I'm swamped with assignments. This weekend will be a miserable catch up with over due assignments weekend. I have 2 Feature Writing Assignments, 1 News Writing Assignment, 1 major PR writing assignment and one presentation to prepare for PR writing. So thats 5 all together. I'll make sure to make the best of Friday in that case.

Friday's the day I'm gonna get rich! I have a strong feeling about it :D. Well okay, actually I'm nervous as hell about it. But no harm in pretending to be confident right? Its also Tak's b'day party on Friday... the 21st was his birthday... happy belated bro! :)

Suki's been messing up the house big time. And I've been cleaning up after her big time too. Its okay la! I love her to bits :).

I've bugged my brother once again to bring back the adaptor... so pictures should be on the way... fingers crossed...

to end it... heres a little conversation me and my bro had on face book about Suki :)

Drive For Food Competition

hmm.. I meant to blog about this earlier.. but I've just been sleeping too much XD! Any way last
Saturday we went to Penang (3rd november) for the Star Drive For Food competition. Its a video competition for the Star. Thus the name Star Drive for.... you get what I'm saying. :p

It was heaps of fun... well for team Kuachi (Joe, Jian Hong and Kok Hoong and myself) it was any way. We stopped by a couple of places in Perak, Ipoh. A few of the restaurants we wanted to visit were closed, but we improvised and did our best with what we could. It was quite a long drive all the way to Penang. All in all, it took us about 12 hours. Shooting plus driving I mean. We spent the majority of our time in Perak, with four different locations spread out in Perak.

Our concept for the video was quite simple. Two guys get harassed by the Star Ninja, while they travel to Penang looking for good food. Kok Hoong came up with the basic idea, and I improvised along the way.

The hardest part about this video was probably the vegetarian restaurant 'Heong Pun' scene. We arrived there around 3.45pm. They wanted to close by 4pm. We had 15 minutes to choose our food, shoot, eat and get out of the place! Luckily we managed most of the scene in a few takes. The place was well creepy as well. Really dark and old. It reminded me of some run down jail in UK!

update: ok... its been like 3 weeks since I wrote on this post.. the results are out on friday... tommorow is the last day you can vote... go to www.drive4food.com to vote. Choose kuaci and penuts (ryan and u jinn's group) and a third group of your choice.

We'll be attending the prize giving ceremony on Friday

thank you to all of those who have voted for us for your support and your time.

If you haven't seen the video yet, go to the website to check it out... its one of our better videos and I'm proud of it considering the time constraints we had to produce it (24 hours).

Wish us luck :)
