Meeting Indrani Kopal

Last Wednesday, we had a guest speaker from Malaysiakini.

I need to cut my hair
If you're wondering who is it, it's Indrani Kopal. She's a full-time video journalist in Malaysiakini, who was here to enlighten us of the importance of using media in a more meaningful (and less censorship) way. In case you don't know who she is, you might recognise her from her work "She's my son" which is about transsexuals in Malaysia and have won award in Freedom Film Fest 2007.

Part 1:



Part 2:



It was a really interesting talk indeed, which I think Cnigel will be cursing me by now for not inviting him to come over if he read about this entry. But throughout the talk, I was actually quite scared that police will suddenly barge in and arrest me. T__T

No illegal gathering with more than 3 people!
But heck, throughout the 2 hours, there was not even a mosquito to bother us. Besides talking about her work in Malaysiakini, she also share with us what Malaysiakini's future plans, how politicians always kick them out from press conference, how bias the mainstream media is (like always) and et cetera.

The most interesting thing I have learnt throughout the talk was how she got the job. She's actually a lab assistant in LimKokWing University prior her current job and she self-taught all the video concepts and techniques (basically, what I learn in the stupid DMT class) during her free time at there. And despite the lack of degree and qualification in Mass Comm, she still ended up hired by Malaysiakini.


Man, if I know any sooner like that also can be a journalist, I would study an easier subject - say, Nuclear Engineering - and still become a journalist. XD

Super Busy

You know something?

They presenting about Chua Sok Lei's sex scandal -___-
You ask any adults, they will reply you that college and university life are the best part of their lives because you won't have any worries or stress (Hakuna Matata) since you are financially supported by your parents. Plus, your amount of freedom will increase dramatically compare to during secondary school. So with unlimited amount of money plus almost total freedom, campus life is heavenly.

RIGHT.

DMT Class
Obviously they forgotten about the existence of assignments. -____-

Sardine Can

I never use the valet parking service although it's available in LCS.


One, I don't like strangers to touch my car. Two, it's expensive. Actually that's all the reasons I don't use it but there's a 'three' after I just learn last week that the valet boys actually park your cars like this.


I think it should be renamed to valet stacking instead.

Cooking Master Boy

You know, besides The Girlfriend's birthday, I hardly spend time inside the kitchen. Mostly because The Mother don't want me to burn down her kitchen.


And when I do enter the kitchen, the most "difficult" dish I ever prepared is Maggi Goreng with Egg and Luncheon Meat™ and that is if I didn't over-goreng it. Hence, it should explains a lot why a boy like me should stay away from kitchen as far as possible.

But it's the other way around for Edward Ho Jun Jie, who became the YOUNGEST student to complete cuisine course in Taylor's University College. And he's 13 years old this year. o.O


He enrolled Taylor’s International Certification in Cuisine (Basic) course in November last year and graduated early this year. And his accomplishment is well-known to the nation, provided if you do read newspaper. He was featured in Kosmo and The Star in February.


......

I'm pretty sure when I was 13, I was still learning how to fry an egg.

And if you're wondering, I didn't buy. :P

He Got It From His Mama

Remember about my DMT class?

Happy feet and sexy back
On Wednesday we were divided into three groups and needed to do a short film around 15 seconds. Well, it was something for a change since I did not need to die from boredom and hear another word about techniques and theories again. XD

This is one of the three short films and believe me, you will love it. :P



Hey Christien New, I found a suitable guy for your movie. ;)

Life is Good

I saw Christien New yesterday.


He was much smaller than the one I had in mind. To be frank, I wasn't quite [s]excited when I saw him if compared during that time when I met Michelle Yeoh. Maybe because of the fact I'm not that fond with local celebrities or that he's a guy which didn't get me interested. XD

Not sure why he was here, but I guess it's gotta do with 'Life is Good a.k.a. Back to School'.

Brazenly funny yet deeply human, the film kicks off when Malaysia’s Celebrity Couple decides to do a research for their upcoming talkshow, which ended with them enrolling into a university as observers for an insight on students today. While being a mentor to their newfound friends, the duo experiences an often humorous journey, which also enfolds with conflicting emotions, love, and frustrations of the university students. Today, a degree definitely comes with a higher price.

O.... kay. -_____-

I would like to go for the audition, but since I dance like a duck, sing like William Hung and the only dribble I know is when I drink water, I figure it would be a waste of time. Besides, The Mother paid big bucks to get me into Taylor's. If she found out I'm doing such thing...

.....

Let's not discuss about it.


Anyway, for more reasons your mother to castrate you information, please click here at your own risk.
