It's Getting Late.

Hey World!

This is another nothing-t0-do post.

My blog is starting to get very boring with less and less pictures coz my computer is running out of space and i'm getting lazier and lazier.

I have to wake up at 5am tomorrow. Totally not excited about it.

Oh well, after tomorrow, I can sleep for as 24 hours straight. So whatevs. Hehe! :P

I've been going through a lot lately. But surprisingly, I am still at peace, happy, and loving life! :)

Only at random moments of the day, I will burst into crazy anxiety. But i can just feel God's hands over my heart, calming me down. As if to say, "I got your back!". I know that He does. And that makes me super happy and peaceful.

I'm not going to lie. It's has been an extremely crazy year. One that I am very grateful for though.

I love adventures and being free! That's all I have been doing all year. With a few stumbles, bruises and war scars, I shall be invading 2009 as a whole new person! Just a little wiser but still as happy and excited about life as ever! :) :) :)

Maybe my troubles are a blessing in disguise after all.. Hmm..

I'm glad that I'm doing film :) There's nothing else in the world I can imagine myself doing. Yay!

Feel like saying... : Mustard Seed! Banana Pumpkin Pie! Woot!

My Dreams of Becoming A Hobo, Let's Strike That.

As many of you know, i've always wanted to become a hobo in NYC. I kid you not. And you know it! :P

Weeeell, I take it back! And let's pray that it never happens to ANYONE!

I was forced to spend a night in the city with no where to go when it was negative 2 degrees!

Let me fill you in with details..

Ok. It started off with me editing at school, knowing that my call time the next day was at 6.45am.. at Grand Central Station because i had to catch a train upstate.

I wanted to leave at 10pm! I promise. But editing got to addicting! I was in the groove~ Hehehe

Soooo.. edit edit edit.. and before i knew it.. it's 2.30AM!!!!

The things that went through my mind:
  • "WHAT??!"
  • "I feel like curtsying."
  • "Should i go home??" (Mind you, I live 1 hour away from school but with public transportation at that hour, I would have ended up reaching home in 2 hours AND on top of that, I would have to wait for the bus for about an hour in waaay too little clothes for negative 2 degrees windy weather.)
  • "I have too little footage."
  • "Should i just sleep in the school till 6am?"
  • "Need sleep."
  • "My film does not make ANY sense! Gahh!"
  • "Need food."
  • "Mom sent me an email on how to lose fats. I should be worried."
  • "Monkeys. Bananas. Cupcakes."
  • "Let's do a funny dance!"

So ANYWAY.. My friend was in the edit lab as well and we decided to get food. Went outside. Wind blew. Forget it. I'm not going anywhere tonight.

Friend said, "It's too dangerous to not go home now. I'll stay with you till you go to Grand Central!"

Nice friend. Yay! :) :) :)

So we slept on the couch in the couch in the school. The couch was NOT soft.

BUT.. at 5am.. Mike from the edit lab woke us up and was like.. "What are you guys still doing here?! I have to lock up. You have to go."

Something along those lines. I was too sleepy to coomprehend.

So okay.. We walked out into the blistering cold and got to the subway station and friend and i got on the train to go to Grand Central. 1 hr and 45 mins to call time. Great.

So when we got to Grand Central, we decided to sleep on the floor. So we did.

At 5.35am.. a cop woke us up and..

Cop: You guys catching a train?
Us: Yes
Cop: What time?
Us: 7.18am

Then cop walks away. We go back to sleep.

At 5.45 am.. same cop wakes us up..

Cop: People are coming in. You can't sleep here. Get up!

So we woke up. And friend said, "Rachel. I have to go home."

Not wanting to destroy our friendship, I walked friend to train station and said bye and goodnight and thank you and fluffy dreams and all that jazz.

Then, I went back to the center of Grand Central and went back to sleep. Cop walks by a few times, look at the hobo-rific me, shakes head and walks away.

Summary of things that happened next:
  • Got a phone call from asha saying that she was gonna be late. Got frustrated. Snap snap. "Hurry please!" Was a little rude. SORRY ASHA!! :(
  • Got wandering crew members together.
  • Mune says something ridiculous. YELL something no one would ever comprehend. People stopped and stared. VERY EXTREMELY SORRY MUNE!! :( :(
  • Tim made joke. I was not amused. Sorry Tim.
And all that happened waay before 7.30am! Wheee!!

Also wanna say that i didn't sleep the night before either. It was about 60 hours of being awake before i went to sleep. Not pleasant. Not pleasant at all.

---

So that's it! My adventures in New York! Isn't it fun?

Yeah. No more hobo dreams. WooHoo! :)

Love.

A Mystery.

I was looking through some pictures I took and I started to marvel at God's greatness.

I love how He is so mysterious in that way. Always only revealing bits and pieces of Himself. And when you least expect Him to, He basks us in His glory. In those moments, we just have to stop for a moment and admire His greatness and wonder. I believe that that makes Him smile as much as it makes us smile.



Blue, Purple, Pink & Orange. All at once!


Images like these, never cease to amaze me :)



I love you too =P

I love how He always surprises me and never fails to supersede my image of Him.

Thought of the day :)

Honesty is the best policy.

Just thought i'd throw it out there. Ha!

Ok Bye.

I = Sad.

This deserves a post on my blog.

I lost my pink ring today. It's the cutest thing i've ever owned.

I was just looking at it and admiring it while waiting for the bus today. And my hands were freezing cold so i took off the ring and put it in my pocket so that i could put on my gloves.

I think it didn't go into my pocket and just fell on the floor. Boo!

It's no where to be found now. I must have dropped it.

Ohmigosh! I'm so so so upset :(

Sunday, November 09, 2008

Almost.

It's almost here! It's almost here! It's almost here!

What, you ask?

I can't tell you. But i'm happy as a panda that just got a new bamboo stick because a monkey was playing with it but lost it by getting distracted by a mini cutie sized piggy that was lost because his good looking owner was singing a beautiful song to a beautiful girl and totally forgot about him but just for a milisecond! whee!

I'm THAT happy :) :) :)

You'll find out why in about a month. Ok. Bye!

Rachel Rhymes With Facial!

This is a "nothing-to-do" post.

I'm super tired coz i'm sick. Boo! And.. Fun Fact.. I have to choose between having my whole body ache like mad or cough like a mad monkey. I chose to let my whole body ache. Why? Coz i can't mix the drugs. Gahh!! Was gagging all night from coughing. Stupid.

Still have to go to school to do Producing work for my friend. Oh the joys of filmmaking. Ha!

Ohkay. Enough self-pitying.

I can't wait till my whole class is done shooting!! Ultimate freedom!! Woot Woot!!

All i can think about for the past few months is Mamak food. I kid you not. Roti Telur, Maggi Tom Yam, Susu Panas, Teh Ais & Teh O Ais Limau. That's what i'm gonna order when i get to step foot in a Mamak store. Oh Bliss :) :) :)

Happy thoughts! Happy Thoughts!

Ooh! Time for my dosage of drugs! Oh what fun.

Oh yeahh.. Before I sign out,

I'm so blessed to have known you! Now i can rest assured that my babies have someone to take care of them while i'm wandering on the streets. TeeHee!

Another One. Whee!

Thanks Sarah Tay! :)

Yes. Yet another tag. Love Love Love.

---

1. Would you marry for money?
Nope.

2. Have you had braces?
Yes. But Teddy, my puppy, bit my retainers into pieces and i never got new ones. Soooo, my teeth are crooked again :(

3. Could you live without a computer?
Unfortunately and shamefully, no. Hahaha

4. If you could live in a different decade, which would it be?
I really wanna live in Victorian times. But then i would want to be British. Haha. Does that even make sense?

5. Do you drink enough water?
Absolutely not. But i try.. Heh.

6. Do you wear the shoes in the house or take em off?
I HAVE to take them off. Too uncomfortable =P

7. What are you favorite fruits?
This is a tough one. I like ALL fruits except for Jackfruit.

---

OK. So i was doing this Tag, but my throat hurts so so bad and my nose is runny and i feel like i'm going to die.

Why am i in such a devastating state you ask?

It's coz i was sleeping without a blanket last night coz i couldn't find one in the pig sty of a room we are sleeping in.

SO there. I think i'm just gonna spend the rest of my LAST day in Bermuda lying down and going, "Oh Gawd! Why??!!!" and enjoy my giant bar of Twix :)

Nyahahahahaha.




Friday, October 31, 2008

Hmm..

OK. First of all, i'm too lazy to upload pictures. So this would be another post without pictures. But fret not, my good peers. I shall try my best to entertain.

Guess what i did today?! I can totally strike out one of the things i want to do before i die.

Jump of a cliff.

Yay!! I jumped off a cliff!! And i'm proud :)

I need to venture to higher cliffs next time. Oooh! The adrenalin. Sweet.

Bermuda kicks ass! Whee! :) :) :)

---

Random things that i would like to say now:
  • I don't know what rhymes with "Rachel" and that makes me sad :(
  • Sometimes i don't understand how people can be so mean. Are we really born evil and are taught to be good and civil? Then, i wish that everyone is taught well.
  • I absolutely LOVE the ocean.
  • And i absolutely LOVE coconut chocolates and Twix.
  • My skin is smooth from being in the ocean for so long today :)
  • Fat = Me
  • I need to stop eating but i can't stop! What to do? What to doooooo??
  • God is so amazing for creating the earth. Good job, sir! Loves.
  • I need to shower soon. I'm dripping sand.
  • Should i wish that people act differently or should I act differently? I think that latter makes more sense. But it's soooo hard.
  • I think this list is getting emo. Therefore, i shall stop.
---

Salad with Pumpkin = Good.

I'm sooo in the mood for pumpkin all october coz it's Halloween! HuHuHu! (And i'm convinced that i should start laughing using different vowels from now on)

And people need to stop saying that i'm weird. Thank you very much.

I found a little army man today!! Waaaay too cute :) :) :)

Bermuda.

I'm blogging while i'm in Bermuda. Why?

1. I need to push that ugly picture of me down so it wouldn't scare people away when they visit my blog.
2. Everyone is really tired and tomorrow is the first day of Asha's shoot. So we're staying at home and resting today.
3. I need to keep my blog updated? Hehe

OK. Fun Facts about Bermuda:

1. They have the same national flower as Malaysia! It's the Hibiscus. Just in case you didn't know. Hehe.. And they have it in so many different colours too! Beautiful.
2. At this time of the year, it's kinda chilly in Bermuda. Feels like Genting weather.
3. Everything is suuuuuper expensive coz it has to be imported into the country.
4. The ocean water is in so many different shades of blue. It's so so pretty.
5. Random strangers will say "hi" to you on the streets and it's courteous to say "hi" back.
6. ALL the houses are in pastel colors! I love it.

There are actually a lot more but i can't think of anything else right now.

I kicked a giant rock in the ocean today and it started bleeding. The wound looks really cool! Yeeeeah!! TeeHee!

Sometimes i wonder what banana pumpkin pie would taste like.

Loves.

random.

So i've been out on a lot of thesis shoots and i realized a few things that i would love to do once i graduate.

Of course, ultimately i would like to be a Director. That's the dream. But to stay in the industry, I want to do Sound and Grip. I want to be a Gaffer as well but i haven't had any real experience in that area and it requires a lot of math. Hehehe!



Me and my Boom Operator, Sean :)



These are the crazy dolly tracks on Dean's shoot. I love setting them up! :)




But yeah.. these jobs are hardly ever done by girls. So, it's really competitive. Especially Gripping coz it requires a lot of strength.

But wish me luck!! :)

---

Still not done shooting my thesis film. Gawd!

HEhe. Still telling myself that it's gonna work out somehow. Ha!

David Martel.

Whee!! I finally bought the album that i was looking everywhere for!! And i bought it from the man himself, David Martel!! *happy grin*

I was looking for this album for months and i was even considering just downloading the whole album from iTunes. I don't use iTunes so i don't see the point of doing that. But whatever! I'm happyyyy!! :) :) :)


Nice Album Art! No?

I saw him singing live! And i talked to him!

He's just a random indie music person, just in case you guys are wondering. I found him on MySpace and i totally love his music. So when i saw him, i told him and he was like "Oh my god! That's so random!" and i was like "I knowww!!".

Haha. Ok. Total Bimbotic moment right there. But as you can tell.. I'm excited.

He's an awesome awesome musician/ singer/ composer! And he plays the banjo!! I love the banjo!! Nyahahahaha!! Respect.

And the most awesome thing about him is that he told me that i could burn the CD and pass it on to whoever! That's a real artist right there and it made me respect him even more!!

So yeah.. if anyone wants a copy.. I'll definitely burn you one :)

Just sharing the Martel love. Heh Heh.

Really Good Film.


William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.

That's the actual title of the film. Haha. I kid you not.

I watched this film like 10 years ago or something and i really liked it. And after a long day of shooting, i saw it at Virgin Records for $10! So i decided to buy it and watch it :) it was the best decision i made all day! hehehe

Even though i watched it a really long time ago, i still remember most of it. The whole film is in Shakespearean English and it's so fun to watch. And after being in film school for as long as i have, i really appreciate it so much more now.

The performances were so so so good. And Leornado DiCaprio was at such a good-looking stage of his life too! ;) And Claire Danes was young and beautiful. She still is now. Heh.

And i loved how all the cuts were so quick and it really kept you at the edge of your seat the whole time.! And the director, Baz Luhrmann, used a lot of colors in his film, which i really really liked. And the way he utilized the shot sizes was like pure genius!

Haha! I'm like giving a freaking movie review. =P

I totally recommend everyone to go and buy it and watch it! It's such a tragic ending. But it's very interesting to watch!! And again, very very good performances. I hardly ever comment about performances, so you guys should trust me on this one.. ;)

---

As you can tell, i'm only posting this up for the sake of blogging. Heh Heh

Will blog again when i have time, i'm just too tired and lazy to do it now. I'm on like all my classmate's shoots and it's totally wearing me out.

My own shoot did not go so well. Boo! :(

I'm not done shooting, but i have a feeling that it will all work out somehow :) :) :)

Loves.

A Glimpse of Me.

I wrote an entry in my Journal today. Yes. I have a Journal. I'm a nerd. It's how i communicate with God and i've been very blessed and it kinda opens my eyes to His greatness. I totally encourage everyone to do it! :)

Anyway, i re-read it and i felt that i should post up a small portion of it here. Just a small bit ;)

Dear God,

I just can’t believe how amazing you are. How humble and gracious.


“I know you love me.” It’s from a song. And it hit me, 87% of the time, I really don’t know if you love me. Of course, I understand your love but it’s all only in theory. But then again, in the little moments in life when I experience what I call “The Epiphany”, you are really magnified and wonderful and amazing.

I don’t understand you and I don’t think that I ever will. Maybe somehow, there is beauty in that. You amaze me but yet I don’t know how. You leave me to bring me home. You hurt me to cure me. You make me foolish to give me wisdom. That’s how beautiful you are.

Your love never ends and never fails. Your wisdom and your ways are beyond comprehension. I know you will move mountains for me.

I feel foolish to have ever faltered or doubted you. I feel ashamed that sometimes I don’t trust your love. And I feel sorry that each time I do these things, it breaks your heart.

Ok. So that was it. I hope it encouraged you like it encouraged me :)

Have a nice day!

Falling Slowly.

Omg! I looooove HyunJoong & HwangBo! You guys won't know what i'm talking about but it's like a Korean Reality TV kinda show where celebrities are like paired up and they have to pretend that they are a married couple. The show is called "We Got Married". And you get to see all the sweet things the "husbands" will do for the "wives". It's so sweeeeeeeet! Makes me feel like getting married to a stranger! Hahahaha.

Anyway, HyunJoong sang this song for HwangBo. I used to love love love this song. It was like on loop in my playlist. Hehehe. The lyrics are so extremely sweet. So.. random stranger.. hello there! If you want to marry me, you know what to do ;)


Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

---

Glen Hansard was at NYFA! He just graduated when i got there! I got to see him a few times.. and he even talked to me once and i didn't know who he was so i was like kinda rude. Heh. It was a rough day. But yeahh.. still cool.. hehehe

Unrequited Love.

I've been blogging waaaay too much. But I found something worth blogging about today. Don't worry.. It's not nonsense like Bunnies or Smelly Socks.

I was doing research for my Thesis and I found some really cool stuff about unrequited love that i thought i should blog about. Hehe

Quote from a Japanese poet, Ōtomo no Yakamochi:

"Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there."

Verse from Abraham Cowley:
"A mighty pain to love it is,
And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains, the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain."
Poem by Robert Burns:
"Anna, thy charms my bosom fire,
And waste my soul with care;
But ah! how bootless to admire,
When fated to despair!
Yet in thy presence, lovely Fair,
To hope may be forgiven;
For sure 'twere impious to despair
So much in sight of heaven."
TeeHee! Isn't it beautiful and sweet yet extremely sad at the same time?

Hope you enjoyed another one of my random nonsense! :)

Smelly Socks.

So.. I was really bored and stressed coz i can't think of any new ideas for my Thesis Film. So i decided to blog. Hehehe!

I was thinking about what i should blog about. Purple pigs? Orange Pandas? Pink Lions?

Then it hit me like a cannonball! I should blog about smelly socks! Absolutely brilliant.

You know.. Sometimes when there's a party and the weather is so hot and humid, the moment everyone takes off their shoes, especially when it is done simultaneously, you get that stench.

That crazy "Who farted and burped after eating Durian??!!" stench.

It's smelly socks! I tell you.. Those things can kill. You know what we need? A special spray. A spray or a gel that can get rid of the smell.

Why did God create us this way? So that the world will be a more interesting place? Hmm.. Maybe it's just so that when we have nothing to do.. we can blog about it! Awesome.

But not to worry, people with smelly feet! It's not as bad as having hairy ears coz no one can pinpoint you!! Muahahaha!! (no offense to people with hairy ears. you guys are very special. it is rare.)

So that's all i have to say.

Tata for now. Or as Tigger likes to say, "TTFN!!"

Seven Bunnies Are Funnier Than One Bunny.


Bunnies are so cute. Don't you think?

And the best thing is.. They're funny too!

Just imagine.. A little bunny.. Looking to the right and to the left. "Bop Bop", its head goes. And then "Sniff Sniff", its tiny pink nose twitters.

And with a giant leap of faith, the bunny jumps! "Boink Boink Boink", it goes! With the wind blowing by it's long ears. Then Boop! There is a sparkle in the bunny's eyes! Its eyes are wide open in shock!

It waits.

Then it looks around. When it is certain that no one is watching, it giggles because the wind in its ears was too ticklish to handle.

A lady in a red dress and red heels walks by.

The bunny uses its paws(?) to cover its mouth. "Oh nooo, I cannot be seen laughing!" it thinks to itself.

The lady bends over.

"Why look at that! What a cute bunny!!" and squeals in excitement.

Bunny rolls its eyes and bounces away.

Now..... imagine that times SEVEN!! Muahahahaha!!

Hilarious.

Haha! There is really no point to this post except to prove to the world that i'm a little crazy and weird =P

Bye Bye, My Baby.

Last year, around this time, I met 2 fabulous people who loved food as much as i do. We nicknamed ourselves after tastes. I think you should understand how much we LOVE food.

Anyway, after many tiring days in college and crazy moments, we came up with the most fantastic plan! (Alexa, i still remember our conversation about it in the noodle shop! Hahaha)

That is how we gave birth to our baby, Food Busters! It's s food club, we go around town as a big group to look for yummy yummy food.

We had such big plans for the club. We even wanted to go to Penang for food! *Sigh*
We wanted T-shirts. That's how much we loved the club.

Our promotional sign.

Almost 20 people showed up for our first outing!

We had Pan Mee!! :)

This was the 2nd outing where only 4 people showed up.
2 of which were the presidents of the club -.-
We even got lost on the way there. Heh.

Our Haraboji eating Pan Mee for the first time!

This was the very LAST outing. About 10 people.
Not bad. I took an extra long lunch break from work to be part of it. :)

*Sigh* Now.. Our baby is being closed down because we are being scattered all around the world. Boo-Hoo! We killed our baby! Sorry, Mr Loh for letting you down! We were his 3 Musketeers.. Hehehe.. I feel so bad for disappointing him!! He had so much faith in us!!

Anyways.. I just realized that we were in the same classes for only ONE semester. Doesn't it feel longer than that?! Crazyness.

I miss you nonsense women!

We shall meet in Paris!! Muahahahaha!! =P

And Joash, videographer for Food Busters, please send the stuff to Alexa! She's gonna cry!
*whispers* you lost it, didn't you? heh heh heh

Cool Analogy.

You guys should know how i'm a great believer of doing what you feel like doing. And making the choices you need to make to be happy. Yada. Yada.

But you know what i really hate?

People that abuse their free will in the expense of another person's emotions.

Just so you guys know what i'm talking about.. I came up with an analogy. whee! :)

Here goes..

I really hate it when.. Say.. You're at a party and there's only one piece of banana kaya pizza (you know, the super yummy one that is only available in Domino's Malaysia? *yum yum yum*) left in a box. And you know that there's someone who really wanted to eat it all night. I mean the person has been talking about eating that banana kaya pizza ALL night. And then, all of a sudden, you feel like eating that banana kaya pizza. And you just take it, all the while, knowing that this other person wants to eat that banana kaya pizza real real bad. And you just take it.

What would the other person feel? Coz i love food and my banana kaya pizzas, I'll tell you for a fact that I'll be superly extremely upset. I'm not kidding.

Take that analogy and replace it with item-of-desire. And if you were the one who was losing out, wouldn't you be upset?

But maybe not everyone feels that way. But i really really hate people like the banana-kaya-pizza-stealer. And that's saying a lot because i don't hate people. I just dislike them.

Sweet analogy, huh? :) :) :)

Could be better if i was in Malaysia though. I'm out of stamina coz i haven't exercised in so long! Boo!

Maybe i could run 5 rounds today coz it's summer and the weather is super nice. But i tried running in winter and in spring.. and i got out of breath like after 3 rounds or so..

Seeing that I haven't ran in a long long time.. I'm gonna be so so sore in a few hours.. >.< But i'm still happy!! :D

Haha.. Look at me.. Examining my exercise and all.. I'm just THAT bored sometime.. hee!

To make the day even more fruitful and fulfilling.. I cut my toe nails, ate a plum, and i'm gonna do a tag!! muahahahaha! Thanks SaraH!!! :D

VBS

Disclaimer: I'm too lazy to upload pics today. I will upload when i'm less lazy :)

So last week the church had Vacation Bible School (VBS) for kids in the neighborhood. It was a week long but i only got to help out for 2 days coz i only had 2 days off from school that week. It was a crazy week.

Anyway, it was so so much fun getting to play with those kids. They have so much energy. There were like 56 of them, mind you. It was crazy.

On one of the days i was there, i was in charge of arts and crafts. So i had to teach all of them how to make a bookmark. And all of a sudden, I'm the art teacher. Haha. They were so cute about it. About 10 of them came up to me and was like, "Rachel Rachel! Are you the art teacher?" And i didn't want to disappoint them so i was like, "Sure" :)

Hmm.. What else?

On the last day, we had like lots of games and stuff and this little girl, her name was Jenny, asked me to play with her. And she was so cute about it. All the staff members didn't want to let me play coz i was a staff member too but Jenny would be like yelling "Let Rachel playyyyy!!!" She's so cute! And the staff were like giving me dirty looks! Hahaha

And what really touched me was that at the end of the day, Jenny gave me a hug and was like "Rachel, I love you!" I was like... "Awwwwww!!!!" I didn't say that but i thought it. =P And she shared the prize she won with me. She's so adorable.

Another kid that was really cute was Berry. He looks super blur but he's so adorable! And he's really good at drawing too! I have a crush on him. I kid you not.

Ahhhh.. I love kids! :)

OK.. Tata for now.. Will post pics when i remeber. Heehee!
