Here's the trailer.
You'd definitely wanna watch the documentary after watching its trailer.

And when you're ready to watch it,

Here's the link to the video: http://youtu.be/RA8HsfRioWE

Don't wanna cramp this post with too many embedded videos. It's a 15 mins documentary so it's really short and easy to digest. Worth it. It won a film festival award as well.

Never really liked learning about what goes on in the Middle East coz there are too many conflicts going on in the area. Even now, the Israel-Palestinian war at the Gaza strip. It's been going on for YEARS, decades, and it's just getting worse. Nothing is getting better about these wars. I even studied them during my time in JC, and the war is still ongoing till today. Because of this, sometimes I take them for granted as another one of 'those'...

But watching this documentary tells me that wars like these should never be forgotten and peace in our times should never be taken for granted. I feel like I'm in the thick of the conflict whilst watching the documentary. I salute all those fighting for their country. Simply for the sake of their country and their humanity.

I can never truly understand what happens in these countries coz it really is too safe over on my side. Something I treasure a lot in Singapore.

If I saw this 4 years ago, hell yeah I would sell some of that green uniform for some pocket money man!!!! My friend just told me last week that she thinks the TPJC uniform is the grossest uniform. She is somewhat disturbed by the pleat that goes down the middle of the skirt. I thought that was fine hahaha coz MJC has that too. I just hear a lot about how they think the colour is disgusting. I think the colour's fine too actually. Haha.




2) NLB

Also, to suppork Yiming haha.
Somebody asked me how he became my friend in wkw, and when I thought about it.. there never was any particular moment or thing that happened. We just talked and I could tell he's a really reliable person. Velly good friend to have. And good dancer too man!!

My friends and I just felt miserable for not bringing flowers or chocolates :S Imma bad friend.

Contemporary is really abstract I must say though. I'm only used to mainstream contemporary on shows like "So You Think You Can Dance". I thought I knew what contemporary was up till last night. Woah, it is a b s t r a c t . But I loved loved the last dance piece. SO Beautiful.



And today..

FILAMENT 2014!!!!

It's a showcase of allll the Broadcast FYP projects every year. Whatever my seniors did for FYP, was on the big screens today. So this year's it was at The Cathay. Was really quite excited to watch some of my seniors' work. Really darn amazing stuff man.



I saw my CNA colleague Min Min there too!!! Was so excited/happy that I HAD to take a picture nyahaha.

Didn't get to snap a pic with MY FYP group~ We were there as a team to watch it.
We can't believe next year... our stuff will be on screen. It's so scary coz everybody there's gonna critique your work etc etc. Didn't even think about this event when we decided to embark on our FYP. But wow.. just looking at this, it's pretty something something.

So happy that I got to speak to our seniors who are xperts at this. And sooo good to see all my fellow WKW people. Felt like I was back at school. A happy sorta comfortable feeling.

After that, we were discussing ideas for FYP as well. Needs more researching. We're coming to a block. We were initially on to something, but realised it mightn't work. Screams!!! Brainstorming for ideas is the most hair yanking, throat scratching part of any sort of group work. Yes I said throat scratching hahaha.

For my trip to Sweden we're stuck at this point as well. We're on to something, but I'm not feeling it somehow. Not yet. Still needs refining to me. Story ideas, more research, contacts, EVERYTHINNNGGGG. Fwah, this is actually tougher than I thought.

I'm an impatient person, can't wait to get over the initial stage so that we can get our hands and brains down working on to something! : ) That's the fun part.

But I don't wanna rush story idea generation. Coz I think... we need to find the best idea that we can get our hands on. Coz once you've a good idea, that's when the magic begins. You can't fail with a good story.

Anyway, things have been really busy, quite stressful. That's school. Even in personal relationships, things are taking a sudden turn. I'm confused really. Don't know what's happening and why it's happening all of a sudden. I only wish for things to clear soon. Never liked these kinda things that cause unhappiness. I'd rather talk it through and make sure things are clear. Conflicts just aren't my sort of thing. I'm a libra dude, we're scales. We don't topple and make a mess. We're the Balance to Mother Earth. The Yin and the Yang. The Venus to the flytrap. Hahah.

Sigh, but I guess things as they always say, happen for a bloody reason.

Let's just see how it goes. Trudge on kiddo!



Btw, I'm currently addicted to this song and MV.

I have just sent the MOST NUMBER of EMAILS in my ENTIRE LIFE.
I actually get physically tired from sending emails goodness.
It seems like work for Go-Far is getting heavier by the day. I could say that I have officially begun school.

School looks quite different now! The new halls are actually VISIBLE. 6 months ago, they were just mere construction. Come August, it'll be... A Whole New WOOOooOOrrrlllDDdd...

Regards,
Si Hui

Huiquan is on her flight to Prague now! Just came back from sending her off :') She's gonna have a ball of a time there now. Felt a bit guilty I couldn't send her off at the gate coz my bro was waiting at Burger King for moi hahaha. But it's alright, she's got her boyfriend by her side for the first 3 weeks that she'll be touring around Europe. They are one excited couple!

I like this final shot of us at the airport, feels kinda sad now that she's flown off.. Hugged her real tight before we parted. She's gonna be all right : )

Heading to school later for yes, what else, but gofar. My life officially revolves around it now. Feeling a little stressed now coz of a couple of things, hope all goes well in the end. I guess I'm interested to see how the school looks now? Apparently under a lot of renovation, and things are looking different. Hmm..

After a few weeks not doing production, I kinda feel a bit rusty already? I tend to forget skills quite fast. In general, I tend to forget things really fast once I don't put whatever I learnt in use. I need to start producing something again, otherwise I forget my production skills I learnt for the past 6 months of internship goshhhh!

That was our caption beneath our dufusey faces to tell each other we reached.





Met up with these 2 girls yesterday at the Bakery for tea. Our last chit chat with Huiquan (the one whose face macam angmoh), who's going on exchange for 6 months to Czech Republic. She's flying off tonight!!! So excited for her. She's the last one among us to go on exchange and experience the MAGIC of exchange haha. Suxin's been to Taiwan and Korea for exchange. (she went twice! lucky ass) And me, New Zealand.

She's gonna have a good time this girl.

But she's so damn unprepared, she hadn't even changed her moolah to euros or settled her bank issues one day before flying!??! It was only when Suxin asked "How much did you change?" That was when it hit her LOLLL. It completely slipped off her mind! One of the most important stuff you need is $$$$$$. Funny girl she, so blur.

These 2 ladies are one of the best things I got out of University. We're all majoring in different areas - Business, Engineering and Communications. It all started in Hall when we were Year 1 students, they were my neighbours in hall and same OG for FOC haha. We were the noisiest girls in Hall 3, I swear we were Legendary hahahahaha. Hall 3 freshie days - the good, the stressful, we went through them all together. We never became distant even after our freshmen days. Closer in fact! And I think we've a longgg way to go. Definitely wanna go on an overseas trip with them someday. When we have loadsa $$$ and can splash it overseas nyahah.

Suxin is working already. She's gonna be one successful girl I foresee. In fact, I see all of us with a bright futureeee fwahahha.

Convocation for her is next Wednesday. Business kids graduate really fast man. My friends are beginning to work, this is the phase when all of us are seriously putting whatever education we had to use now. Foooh.


Anyway, the recent MH17 news is absolutely horrible. I swear Malaysia Airlines is terribly unlucky... It could have been any other airline... And just within a few months since MH370 happened, they got this other tragic accident. As what Malaysian PM Najib Razak said: "This is a tragic day, for what has already been a tragic year for Malaysia". That line really got to me.

I thought MH370 was one of the worst airplane mysteries and disasters. This one is just as bad on a whole different level involving so many different countries and so many lives lost. Extremely tragic. What a waste of lives, tangled up in a waging war between two countries. Nobody innocent deserves to be part of somebody else's wrangled mess.

Reminded me of my time in CNA when I had to call up a family friend of a victim's family onboard MH370. She cried on the phone, I felt like crying. Sigh.. it's extremely heart wrenching to hear these stories I tell you. Can't imagine having to go through this emotional turmoil as a relative argh.


K! Back to more researching for Gofar. I'm liking the scandinavian country more and more as I research into its govt policies.

I haven't got a good appetite recently.
Feels weird. I feel bloated all the time.
After one time when I shat, that was all it took for my stomach transformation to take place last week.

It's been a long time coming eh.

I finally finished my internship on the 4th of July and today is the 15th of July. I was busy all the way since then till about 9th July because I had to get started for my GO-FAR Sweden trip.

We made this mini-docu as practice for our actual trip in September.




Teehee!

Our profile is our own schoolmate. Eileen. She's fantastic. So game on when we asked if we could feature her and my respect for her went up 10 notches. Muay Thai bro. She's so cool. And I keep telling her so hahaha.

Quite proud of it, though I think it's still quite amateurish. This video gave me confidence that the Sweden trip won't be as tough as I thought it'd be. Initially, I was really dreading this trip to Sweden. Because I knew that my video team was lacking a lot technically and I feel like I'll be responsible for a lot of things and the pressure was just intense because the expectations are just INSANE I TELL YA. INSANEEEE.

But after doing this video and the comments I received from our instructor were considerably not too bad, I think I'm less worried.

I am in fact, REALLY EXCITED FOR SWEDEN!!!!!

Our team met the Swedish Ambassador at the Embassy last Thursday and he passed us this whole stack of pamphlets and brochures on all things Sweden. Quite stoked to have a read at it : )

I'm excited for the new school term, yet at the same time a bit fearful of it because I know there's gonna be TONS of work to do. And I'll be shifting to my aunt's place at Dover throughout the semester again because seriously, Pasir Ris is just too far for NTU. I considered not shifting, but next sem is gonna be hectic as hell. I foresee late nights and crap coming along.

But it is my final year, and I've told myself to enjoy every last bit of it. All my colleagues at CNA told me to enjoy it before work comes crashing in. I really enjoyed my time at CNA so I would tell them, nah, I can't wait to get out of school. But after watching a certain movie called "An Education" last night, I was kinda inspired to really just have fun at school and enjoy my youth while I still can at school and learn all there is to learn before reality seeps in and the REAL world kicks in. Kinda sucks eh. I don't wanna have to think about financial woes sigh. Grown up woes.


As with every new school term, I had to select my mods, and silly me, SAME EVERY YEAR, I was the last to do this. I actually FORGOT about it, coz I was still on internship then and I couldn't keep track of things at school until my friend asked, "How's STARS?". And I replied, "What stars?" I actually seriously thought he was talking about superstars or some shit coz I was at Mediacorp. And then it hit me, O-M-G, I hadn't added my mods!!!!! I panicked. And well, since year 1, I never got a head start at these things. But it's ok, I'll definitely get them when school reopens ; ) I ain't worried. After 4 years here, things just don't scare me anymore like they used to.

I think school will look so different this coming August, physically and psychologically for me.

As a final year student, everything's just gonna be so different! I would view other students differently.

I've been on exchange, on internship, a lot of these things have shaped my mind and I feel so different and kinda grown up. Definitely different from when I first entered. So strangeee. The 3 years so far have flown by in a jiffy. After the coming year, 4 years would have been nothing. By the time I'm 50, it would all be but a very distant memory lol, ain't I oh-so-wise? ; ) Haw haw.

But I definitely have so much more to learn. This coming trip to Sweden in September is definitely gonna be tough, but I will learn a heck load from it. Also, my Final Year Project (FYP). That will be mind-blowing. I really want to make it a project that I'll remember and I want it to be a project that will seriously impact the community. Ambitious eh, but isn't that what an FYP should truly be? So much effort to push out a campaign or social awareness cause and just for what? Grades? No way!! It must make a difference. So bloody cliche, but oh yes, I mean it boys. and girls.

And after all that, I finally graduate. Can't believe it.. all those years of education. SO MANY years of education. Finally, I am about to reach the finishing line. I can already see it. Not sure whether to feel excited about it or what.

Then comes work... I feel so ambitious. But I don't know how to get to where I want to go. I need a lot of contacts, which I don't yet. I haven't worked at a lot of places, really don't know how I'm gonna get to where I want to go. We'll see though, we'll see.


As of now...

At this VERY POINT OF TIME,

I'm enjoying life.

Bumming around that is hahaha. It's a bit weird though, coz once I stopped being busy, I found myself with an infinite amount of time on my hands!! And what's amazing is that, I still find myself so TIRED all the time. For not doing anything! For goodness sake! What a sloth I am. But I just feel so tired and I take naps that last for 3 hours when I actually had a good amount of rest the night before.

I'm just Sleeping Beauty man.

My mom says it's all the backlog of sleepless nights since work began at the start of this year. Probably.

But anyways, I spent time with my girlies, celebrating friends' birthdays, and just having a lot of time for myself and friends and family now. It's great.


Regina's 22nd Birthday!
Pretty bad lighting the second one, but thanks to her editing, doesn't look too bad anymore.

Yes, as you can see, my hair has grown reallyyyy long already.

Despite the poll that voted for me to keep my pixie hair, I've decided to keep my hair longer, into a bob. Hee hee.

I love my pixie hair, but I feel that... I need to wear make up to contrast my short short hair. Also, I can't wear guyish jeans and stuff that I used to wear. I had to wear a lot of girly looking things to contrast the short crop for the past year, otherwise I would have looked like a boy. Plus I have no earholes so no earrings to make me look like a girl. So I really just want to wear stuff that I like and feel comfortable without having to wonder if people think I'm lesbian good god. SO I'mma keep it longer now. But I'm definitely not going back to the super long hair that I had. Not yet. Coz I don't like to maintain that kinda long hair. I can't. I'm a child.

And then hopefully, when it's long enough, I can perm my bob hair teehee. I love curly hair. I remember the time when I curled my hair for D&D and vavavoom, my hair had life to it.




Correct a not??
But oh god this photo is so old and quite gross. Smile until like that for what, think I Miss Universe ah, freakin disgusting. Jasmine's fabulous as always.



I was also watching the World Cup the past few days. Semi-finals and of course Finals. I couldn't be bothered to catch quarters. And semis and finals were free broadcast on okto ; )

The World Cup is indeed a fantastic game. It's like the Olympics, I absolutely LOVE to see how sports can bring nations and even people together. It's great. And the emotions... when the losers lose and the winners do nothing else but win. I can feel all the emotions of the players and all the hardwork and.. when they win, you can see the happiness and joy all over the person's face. Sports has that magic. And when people lose, you can feel their misery, sorrow... every human emotion all played out on screen. It's amazing.

And the WORLD is just watching them play. That's what's freakin amazing. Just thinking about how the entire world is glued to the same match is amazing.

Germany. How I'd die to be there right now to feel what a champion nation would feel. I told Yunxuan, who's there right now, that the atmosphere must be absolutely ELECTRIC. She's one lucky ass that girl. She sent some pics and videos over and boy, they're fantastic. I've always wished to be a part of something like that. I wish... Singapore has something to cheer for together as a nation. Support something together and triumph together. To just, FEEL as a nation. It's just sad how we don't collectively unite about something. No race, no religion, no sexuality, no BOUNDARIES at all.

Now that, is freakin amazing my friend.

I wonder if ever in my lifetime I'll ever get to witness something like that happen to my own little red dot. When everybody would get together and feel happy about something for the nation.

It's the first World Cup season that I watched the entire match throughout. Woke up at crazy timings just to watch as well. My very first World Cup.
The last time it was 2010 - Alevels year. I had no time for no World Cup then man. Was studying my ass off.

Wonder what it'll be like in 2018. I'd be freakin 26 man!

World Cups are a great way to remind yourself that time FLIES. 4 years just FLYYY. In-sane. I think I remember thinking back then that wow, at 22 I'd be in University. Would I be in WKWSCI? Ugh, better not think about it.. what if it doesn't come true?!

But here I am, just 1 more year left at my dream university school.

4 years down, wow. I'd be a working adult. Would I be any wiser then? Maybe more jaded? Haha.

But World Cups are wonderful life markers.


Anyways, I'm gonna end my post alright. What a long post to compensate my absence.
I always do ; ) Hope it's worth the read too.
I just suck really bad at multi tasking. Like right now, I've GO-FAR stuff to do, so when there's that at the back of my mind, I can't blog coz I hate thinking about 2 things at one time.
Guess that's great for my future husband eh? I just can't two-time him. Can't handle too many things at one go.


Here's a last photo of me and my workmates : )

So sorry for being away for so long. Today's my second last day at work. Once work is over, I'm free to bloggggg yippeee!
