A Day of Shows

Currently Playing: Your Eyes Open by Keane

Involved in 3 shows yesterday... wow. rather fun actually.

1st Show: FYP
had a mini presentation for my sup on my simulations... supposed to do 3 but did an extra one to impress... which was actually a half completed version of another, but gave a different result. Was thinking whether I shd show all... withhold one so that he wldn't ask me to add anymore features, etc... but was thinking wattheheck... show him even though i disappeared during the holidays, i still caught up with my work. Since he had a reputation of being hard to please, actually was thinking that he wld ask me to do more... but also, really needed to check with him if wat i did so far was wat he wanted.

turns out it was! and he isn't as bad as others say... well maybe coz i've been putting on a good show and impressing him (except for the incident where he cut off internet access on my computer). the mini presentation wasn't as smooth... after the 1st 2 sims ran, the damn computer hanged coz i was running too many sims at once. so we were sitting in front of a white screen in awkward silence, me futilely clicking now and then. he finally had enuff and went to inspect the rest of the lab and give lab aunty instructions. heng the computer managed to restore itself... showed him the other 2 sims.

still got some touching up to do... plus more data collection and report to write... but at least i'm on the right track. FYP: 40% done. still got 30% report, 20% data, 10% sim touch up.

2nd Show: Ad Shoot!
got convinced to act for a fren's CS project on filming an advertisement... i was the hero of the video!! hahahha was supposed to act as a outdoorsy photographer taking pictures in the wild when i see a kid playing with his obiang ultraman toys, oblivious to many tyres (12 actually) crashing down upon the slope from nowhere, aimed straight for him. i distract him and get him to run to me, thus saving his life.

in spite of the out-takes, the NGs and the repeatedly doing something over and over again, some scenes being rather "duh"... was quite fun. the ppl were alright also... although as outsider, they were rather frenly. maybe coz i was doing all of them a favour. hahhaha but i guess they did me one too. how many ppl hv acted in front of real filming equipment?

so how did i get convinced? my fren told me her project grp was made up of many unattached chio bus... no lor. only got 2 ok ones, and my fren was one of them... kena conned. hahahah but ok lah, it was fun. not a wasted afternoon at all.

3rd Show: Starlight Cinema
won 4 free tix to see the worst show of the entire selection for the outdoor cinema, and only CS turned up. well at least she did, else it wld hv been forfeited... so technically, we watched 2 shows each. hahahah kind of a lousy show.. A Lot Like Love. basically it's a guy and a girl sleeping around and sleeping with each other infrequently (whenever one of them just suffered a break up), then getting disappointed when they think one or the other is getting married. of coz, in a happy ending, they end the show kissing each other.

duh... sleep around so much, even with other ppl... so wld marriage change their arrangement? no wat... seems like even if they not married to each other they wld somehow end up sleeping together anyway... and even if in a so-called "happy ending" with them married to each other, they still wld sleep ard.

this raised some questions abt my romantic future (if any) but i choose not to gripe abt them... i'm sure no need to elaborate, u guys also know. oh well... we'll see wat happens if it ever comes. for now, suck thumb lor. got no one anyway.

but all in all... quite a fulfilling day. morning work, afternoon play, evening play. hahahah my kind of day... except for those where i lie in bed and do nothing the whole day. like now. hahaah

note to self: faster finish FYP!
