How many times have you wished that you have more time? I certainly am one of those people. In fact, time seemed to be what all of us dreamed for more. But, why TIME?
Very simple. The reason I am writing on this is because that of late, I noticed that time management have been the pivotal element in determining the completion of whatever that is needed to be done (especially homeworks and assignments). Due dates are around the corner and so are the first tests for the 5 subjects. So in saying that if I had more time, would it really be any helpful?
Neh.. I wished to think so, but rarely does it help. Well, this is mainly due to human nature which is common for us to only come to appreciate things when they are scarce or we are about to lose our firm grip on it. So many times we have all our needs met with that we don't noticed how fortunate and blessed we are.
Therefore, what is the Art of Procrastination, you ask? Well, there's no art behind it, its just an innate ability that all of us have. Instead, the real Art lies in having the ability to appreciate and make full use of time...
The Future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
~C.S. Lewis

Volume 1; Chapter 5: World Of Goo
Well, I must admit I slacking in blogging. 2 posts in almost a month?! I really couldn't keep up since Chinese New Year, hehe. Nonetheless, I shall write my latest post here.
Remember that I mentioned that something is Brewing from my previous post. Here it is... On 6th and 7th (Fri & Sat), my group and I set out to start on our filming part of the documentary.. We went to Petaling Street on the first day, got ourselves are great deal of interviewing with mostly westerners and then had our fair share of obstacles. It was really fun yet at times very TENSE (you can feel the friction). Everyone tried our best to play our part and it turned out great and satisfying that we did well on our first day.
After going through all the exhaustion of the first day, second day was just yet to begin. Boy oh boy, this day proved to be more tiring than the previous day but yet more fruitful than most of us had expected. We got our "pot of gold" while searching for subjects in Times Square and around that area (probably Sg. Wang, I forgot the name). We managed to get good materials and I got to see Times Square for, I don't know, the 2nd time perhaps. For the record, we met Tony on our way there. Our shooting lasted till evening and upon arriving BU, we were already walking zombies.
As of now, I am thinking on what narration should be inputted to the video and I am encountering a major road block as I had no experience on this. However, I relish the idea that narration is the main way of communicating the whole idea to viewers. Ah, much had been said and I would sign off here. Chow.... Guten nigh (Whatever the spelling- Those friends out there would comprehend)
Ps: The title has nothing to do with this post. Search it up in Google.
"To each there comes in his or her lifetime a special moment when they are tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talent. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour" -Winston Churchill

Volume 1;Chapter 4: Break of Silence
Ever since I posted my last article, there was only silence, mainly due to no internet connection and the holiday mood which leaves me lazy to budge an inch. However, I am writing now. Lets start from where I left.
Chinese New Year was fantastic. Not for the "Ang-Pau"s I got, but simply because of the reunion with families and relatives. It's good to catch up with close ones. The reunion dinner on CNY eve was exceptional. The food was indeed the best I've tasted before and they are home cooked. Probably because I was starving before dinner started, which made the dinner more delicious or something. Then, there was a week-long holiday which was quite boring as there were nothing I could do to occupy my time.
It's a sad thing that I don't own a camera whatsoever, or else you could have seen plenty of photos. HAHA..
Nevertheless, classes commenced and back again I am to the usual pace of life. As always, life tends to pull you down to its darkest trench and you surface again during the weekends. Last week's English lessons were more on watching a movie- "Japanese Story". I would rate it as moderate in terms of its appeal to me. Anyway, for these past few days, something interesting has been BREWING, and you'll have to wait for some time before I reveal the events which unfolded. Till then, up up and away....
