Harder To Breathe

Yay! I was so scared that I'd face the paper and blank out but well since I managed to write something it can't be that bad. Now that 207 is over I can finally take a breather!

Figuratively of course.

My damn nose is still blocked and it's been causing me sleepless nights

ARGH!

Got Me Good

*Fever sure has got me good.*

Jason is grateful for the care and concern he has received in his time of sickness. It does not help that at this moment, all of a sudden, he's feeling sicker than ever. Today he had two meals - fish porridge and fish porridge.

With the looming battle ahead he is intimidated, especially after finding out the difference in format from last year. He wants to get an MC, but he doesn't want to be sick. So he has decided to be a trooper. And go on no matter what.

Taking the exam next year is enough to make him sick in the stomach.

He hopes that orgasmic songs which are currently in the leak and strong dosages of medicine (of which he has popped many) will make him feel better.

Weecargo School

Because I'm having a flu, my contact lenses almost killed me, and I attended a birthday party to the best of my spirits (I think I was decently high), I can't write a proper entry so I've decided to lift an entry off Ness and Jac's blog about how our names became that of those we studied in Comms History. Arhm.

Oh man I'm so fucking screwed... exams are in a day. But seriously this is damn funny.

These are signs that everyone is near the tipping point and COM 207 is the silent murderer.

I’m quite lazy to explain the whole story so I shall lift Jac’s post over here as she did a brilliant explanation of it. :D

Oh I need to add a short introduction on how this whole “story” started. Basically the guy in the dream at the entry before this was Jason. So I told him and he protested loudly and went:

jkyh - www.wh-s.blogspot.com says (1:27 PM):
what is this
jkyh - www.wh-s.blogspot.com says (1:27 PM):
im disgusted
jkyh - www.wh-s.blogspot.com says (1:27 PM):
I AM NOT LAZARSFELD
jkyh - www.wh-s.blogspot.com says (1:27 PM):
LAZARSFELD is NOT HANDSOME

I actually didn’t plan to tell Jason the dream cause I fear his reaction but lion and qiqi insisted that I tell him and there you have it. A Jason worthy reaction. :D

So lion after looking at his reaction decided on something wonderful which spawned the whole series of nicknames.

lyon - obababababababababababama. says (1:28 PM):
tell him he is khorzefeld!

That’s how this whole thing started.

Credit to Jac’s blog at behindthebasics.blogspot.com. I love you Jac. :)

then there's jason's nick.
"khorzefeld says that lionton shld study harder to become a good theorist."

which spurned ness' nick.
"nesswell thinks that khorzefeld and lionton are ridiculous."

which spurned lyon's nick.
"khorzefeld, lionton and nesswell are three of the four founding peeps of ???"

which spurned melvin's nick.
"melwin agrees with nesswell."

then lyon added me into the equation,
and hence my nick.
"lionton called me jacooley and jacooley agrees with melwin and nesswell about khrozefeld and lionton."

which spurned lyon to change his nick.
"khorzefeld, lionton and nesswell and jacooley are the four founding peeps of ???"

which spurned ness to change her nick as well.
"nesswell thinks that khorzefeld, lionton, jacooley and melwin are ridiculous."

then lyon changed his nick again.
"khorzefeld, lionton and nesswell and jacooley are the four founding peeps of the weecago school"

woohoo!
YOU GO LIONTON!

tadah!
there you have it.
the crazy people of the weecargo school.
founded by lionton, khorzefeld, nesswell and jacooley.

=D.

it was quite funny when we all got the reference without asking.
hahaha.
but in case you're not as cool as jacooley and can't get it,

Dreams of a Butterfly

I must say that this semester really taught me a lot about film-making despite the fact that I haven't got any modules on it. I think it's the company one mixes with.

So, anyway, while I busy with my collaborations, Rui Qi and Edwin were working with a couple of ADM talents and were featured in two recent projects, one of which is Dreams of a Butterfly by Kexin.

Here's a short snippet of it as it's still Work-In-Progress.



I realise that unlike most people, I blog even more during the exams. Must be the boredom. Stress. Tension.

Doctor Ordered

Drugs, hell yeah.

Womanizer, Circus, Out From Under, Kill The Lights, If You Seek Amy, Unusual You.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.



Did you hear Britney say all the boys and girls are begging to F-U-C-K her?

Epic shit from the legend dropping Dec 2 - Circus.

COM 207

Lionton, Jacooley, Melwin, Nesswell and Khorzefeld.

Hopefully naming ourselves after the greats will give us the grades.

JIAYOU!

Videos This Sem

If you've been entertained by WinFall, here are another 3 COM 206 videos that have been uploaded onto youtube. There's Wu Yan, Hong and 5 A.M.. I missed about 6 or 7 during the official screening, but most of what I've seen were rather impressive. There were some which were quite a let-down though.

Oh and from Image Sound Production there's also Lyon's The Spaghetti Incident! I'm really excited about taking this mod next semester... hopefully I'll surprise myself with what I can come up with!

Violence Is Not The Answer

I think I'll be staying away from Taiwan for quite awhile after what I've seen today. It makes me sick to my stomach. I can't bear to watch their variety shows after seeing the... urgh.

Basically there have been protests led by the DPP (ie CSB stirring shit to draw attention away from the fact that he had embezzled money) against the fact that President Ma would be holding talks with a senior Chinese envoy. The protests were led by current DPP leader Tsai who promised that it would be peaceful. During the so-called "peaceful" time, supporters hurled stones at policemen and surrounded a vehicle that was supposed to spray water at the crowd in case it turned ugly.

The supporters surrounded the vehicle and through rocks at the poor drivers, stuffing rocks and various metal objects underneath the vehicle. They pushed and shoved and blared horns at it, and then started throwing eggs. As if that was not enough they broke the windows, tried to attack them with umbrellas, more rocks, vulgarities... and basically every thing that they could find.

It's basically a disgrace to democracy and free speech. Seriously.

Tsai was said to have brough her supporters away at 530PM but a sizeable number stayed back and attacked the police. They surrounded the hotel at which the President and the envoy was supposed to meet. I think President Ma was damn smart to have pushed the meeting earlier in view of all the nonsense but this further angered the mob. Actually, what the fuck, they came prepared with stones and those home-made flame throwers. It was a crazy scene.

I mean unrest happens everywhere but when you see it happening somewhere rather near, a place you've been before, and a territory you thought was similar to you in some sort of culture... this is downright disgusting.

Oh and the freakshow Tsai is damn proud that they shortened Ma's meeting with the envoy to a mere 7 minutes. Since DPP lost the election they don't have the balls to accept it with grace and have been causing unrest for the country ever since. It's only been 5 months since President Ma took over!

The DPP also managed to get students from Taiwan University to havoc. And there are sutdents now, in the rain, protesting that there shouldn't be a need to get permits for protests. It was pathetic. One granddad went on to the scene and was distraught, wanting to bring his grandson home, saying that his parents worked hard and everything and now... this is how he repaid them.

I'm quite frustrated that Taiwanese polictics is reduced to blatant bitches barking and now that someone capable is in power, the opposition has to resort to such low tactics.

I see the policemen protecting the place for 30 hours, not being able to go home, being blared by horns... and the violence. There's so much violence vented on them that I want to go down there and fight those fuckers with my bare fists. How humane is it to attack your fellow citizens! They are people, human too! It's a complete mind-fuck that one girl's dad was a police and got a stroke while dealing with the fucking mob and she found out that her friend's dad was part of the mob.

I am so disgusted.

Tsai would have been able to escape Chen's shadow since she's now fronting DPP if she had been able to hold a peaceful demonstration. However it came down to this kind of shit. She was known as a quiet person but ever since she became the "leader". She wasn't strong enough to change the way the party worked. The party changed her.

The only thing that impressed me was how well-informed and unbiased the Taiwanese media were. They were also very resourceful in finding stories to report and they held discussions with scholarly people as well as politicians.

And to the students being blindly led by their professors... open your eyes. Stop hiding behind your innocent "I'm-a-student" shit. If you've a political stance and you're taking it, be prepared for the consequences.

Actually all I hope is for peace over there because it really is a lovely place. And I feel very bad for all the policemen who were attacked because it really wasn't their fault at all so... yeah.

More here but believe me, it's much more horrible watching a blow-by-blow account of it on Taiwan television. It's bloody painful to watch. I'd rather concern myself with the fact that Britney and Justin appeared at Madonna's concert but then again...
