Are you a WOTAKU?

The Myth

Woot, i just watched this last night.
(i know, i'm a lil slow when it comes to catching the latest movies.)

This rawks man. I think that although it wasnt as technically / visually good as other films like House of Flying daggers, the raw (or lack of) emotion played by the characters were great. Yes, i'm an avid follower of the film theory that states "nothing ever goes unnoticed when making a film", so if there are grey areas or fine lines in the plot, they're meant to be there.

Kim Hee-sun is great! I love that Korean flowing robe kinda look. Hah. Even tho her name's "Ok-soo" in the movie. Sounds wonky huh. "Ok-Soo", like.. some kinda brand name or smth.

It was also cool to see Jackie Chan playing a serious role, really. Remember that flick where he played all the street fighter characters? So cheesy rite. It was refreshing to see him play 2 opposite sides of his character, one that was honorable and the other, realistic. His decision and the outcome of the movie also made me sit up too.

Anyhow, if u haven't watched this, then go to videoezy. ;p

BBGB E&D 2007

Hello Sirs, Mdms,



I'm finally done with a short version of the Enrolment & Dedication service! Woot! But kinda like ... 2 mths in the making. Still... here goes!

Its been a friggin MONTH

I was thinking.. hey.... i should blog. So here it is.

So what's new?

i've just been having a great time doing what i like for a living.. Videos.

Prestige +1
Resume +1

Shot National Day at the grandstand. Yeah! I had a really funny situation though. As all Singaporeans know, most people would wear either red or white as those are the colors of our flag. Somehow, i had enough sense to wear a yellow tee shirt. I stood out like a sore thumb. No wunder the policemen were giving me weird looks.

Anyhow, i still managed to get decent shots of the National Day Celebration. It's an experience for me though, really hard to get shots cuz you'd be "fighting" with the other camera crews, the policemen, the "rah rah" supporters etc. But thats all cool la. All in a days work. Hhahhaha

I've also shot the Family Day event for Children's Cancer foundation too! O, and if you haven't caught the videos i shot for the previous Hair for Hope event, here's a link to them. Also to add, my boss was the one that did the editing :P (I've been busy doing other things! Honest!) Just look at the bottom for both clips.



Interaction +1
I'm on facebook.
I'm clubbing a little more. (Where's my membership card? Sobs)

You know what? At times i wanna just do something! Like i'm hyper or smth. But gotta tone down cuz .... sometimes events can get reallly boring. I went for a party last week that turned out to be so "CHI CHI" that i "almost" returned to my "old, insecure" self. NEVER AGAIN, will i allow myself to be subjected to such ... situations that make me look shitty. Gotta make sure i keep the regime up!

Dating life -1
Remember that hole i was digging? Turns out it din work out at all. Either i was too pushy or she didn't have the guts. I'd say the latter! Hhahaha (or mebbe she was just fishing too? like me?)

Well, the door's still open but i've turned the chair around! So i guess i STILL have to keep on walking!

Gadgets +2
New 120 GB external hdd
New portable DVD player

But not enuf.... I'm actually thinking about that Quad Core computer that my boss built. Not entirely the best, but most certainly top range!

So there ya have it. One month of my life. Bang.

Guess wat?

Hahahahha, remember this?



Watching this made me laugh a short while ago. Heh.

14 days

Almost..

I've shot a little more videos (didn't manage to start editing though... i promise i'll start soon!), managed to grab a really nice lookin CD and returned back to the clubbing world.

Picking up new music trends
Its been a while since i've listened to Namie Amuro's music seriously. The last time was... back when she had her Genius 2000 album. Thats waaay back.. Her style's changed since then and she's taken a more "hip hop" flavor to her current music selections. This is the image from her new album, "Play".

By SupaShooter at 2007-07-11

Before i knew it, i was listening to Jap hip hop. I've been trying out styles like Teriyaki Boyz.. etc. (though i still dun really like most hip hop music.. only specific sub-genres) Oh, for info's sake, my "SupaShooter" online name was partly inspired by the "Teriyaki Boyz" song of the same name.. Which was used by Gantz (the really politically incorrect anime) for its opening Seq, partly cuz i love shooting videos too. Redundant info, i know. ;p

Loon & the Dragonflies
It was Loon's bday celebration on 15thJul, i had just finished shooting a wedding so i kinda rushed down after 12... He was .. red, saying the usual "I don't get drunk, i just puke." hahahaha

We ended up at dragonfly... some club @ St James, it was a "new" experience for me though. I digged the nice design concept of the place, but i din really like the live band sorta thing.

Annnyhow. Also went to MOS last sat... music was ok, crowd was ... not so "happening"..

Lets see what the following weeks will bring huh?

Oh, and that damned course at SIM is starting soon. Looks like i gotta be a good boy and start actually attending classes. crap.

2 weeks ago...

i was a lil more busy... why?

cuz i've been shooting videos back to back, just recently i shot some vids for the Children's Cancer Foundation.. on their Hair For Hope charity event, good event, great people (cute girls), and lotsa good hearts doing their part for the cancer kids.

I realise that childhood cancer is.. although rare, it can happen to just about anyone. Its very heartwarming to see so many people team up for such a gd cause.

That was only the good part.

Throughout the last 2 weeks, i was also confronted with "rotten" clients and their family. I was rather shocked when i was approached by family members of this particular bridegroom (i wun name ppl, so i hope thats cool.) telling me how i should edit the express highlights to their requirements. Here was my side of the story, we had discussed the details prior to the wedding day, so i already had plans laid out and shot the video according to those plans.. In a nutshell, i told the family members in a nice way that we already had plans, rather than understanding my point, they chose to just glare and tried to look exasperated at the situation.

Thats bad behavior. They should be spanked. To think that they were highly educated as well. "Pompous" is the word i'd use for em.

Yeah, so back to the good part, i also shot videos for the BB & GB companies that are under the St John's Chapel umbrella. Its a yearly event that commemorates the most important aspects of their ECAs. It was cool to see many of the kids grow up too. makes me feel old though. hahahaha

Videos would be up in a while. after i clear my 22 tapes of edits.
