LAST DAY YAHOO

Hello! Today is our submission day!
Came school early to to some finishing touches and rendering. But a lot of problems comes up and we had to delay the presentation time to 1 something. Rendering NEVER fails to give us problems i don't know why.

I'm glad everyone laughed when viewing our work. It has never been serious film when yanping and me are together. :D it was fun though. Comedy makes people happy, thats why I love comedy a lot.

Raj's group is omg. Like lord of the rings can! Raj can do 3D animation SOOOO well! So unbelivable. It was so good really.

And i think other group did really well as well! After all, everyone suffered much together during this 2 months of hell. Rushing, filming, animating, drawing, editing, rendering. And yes its finally over!!

Enjoy your holidays people! love love!

Last day before submission date.

Scare the shit out of me today.

I went to school this afternoon ready to finish my animation.
I scanned my sketches into the computer and trace it in flash. Everything went well, I saved and I went up to my MMfund class for presentation.

I don't know why but something crop up with my thumbdrive in mmfund lesson. Then I tried other computer and my thumbdrive couldn't open. I was like OH SHIT. My P1 files are ALL in it!! HOW HOW HOW!
But Sam's laptop manage to detect my thumbdrive. sigh of relief.
Then I went back to 3D lab after my presentation to continue with my animation. I use another computer. Was doing and doing and went i wanted to save it, error again. I tried saving it in other ppl's td and even harddisk but nothing works! I was so damn worried.
I remove the thumbdrive and use another computer the open the file, there was error again and this time big problem. My whole animation file disappear. Omg thats it man. I was going bonkers. I spent so much time infront of the com, tracing and animating and now, GONE? Wtf?

Then i went back to my working com again and try. Keep trying and trying and trying and nothing works!!! So i told myself, ok, go out, take a breather and think of other ways.
But I just couldn't help it. The thought of me putting so much effort and everything just disappear into thin air. The thought of starting everything from scratch and waste another few hours tracing it. It just scares me. Tmr submission date, tmr submission date. Everyone is finishing, i have to start over it. These wild thoughts just keep appearing in my mind, so much so that i couldn't help but start tearing.

Eventually i convinced myself that, yes, i just have to face it and start everything from the top.
jen and friends keep helping me to locate the files. Trying to save the flash file that I'm working on. But nothing helps. I was so convinced i have to start everything again. Then i suddenly have an idea. Why don't I copy every movement and drawing i have and open a new file? Yes, i tried it. I thought it will work. But no. It didn't work at all. This little hope i have gone as well.

Ronald came and helped but it didn't work as well. Until Peng comes in.

Omg, i tell you he's such a genius man.
He's one man who wouldn't give up until he finds a solution or an alternative to it. After trying so many things, he said asked me to move the stuffs in the desktop away. Because the desktop its full, maybe thats the reason. So i did. And TA DA! Everything works smoothly again! I can save my files xD
On the other hand, jen was helping me to retrieve my files on her laptop. thank you love :)
After all, its my work, so i'm really glad everyone is helping me to save my flash.
Peng is the best man. He solved so many of our problems. Thank you so much!
Thanks yanping and sarah as well! much loves to you!

I resume my work after that. Using the same com, trusting that it won't give me any problems again.

And just a few hours ago I was sitting down there, tearing like some ass who just know nothing but cry. Its kind of stupid isn't, i give up trying after i tried everything i could and just hoping that time could revert back and everything is still fine.
I'm such a silly person. Why do i always get so down during the last day before submission. I'm such an idiot sometimes. If only i could be like Peng, abit calmer, abit smarter and abit positive. Everything would have went well for me.

I guess that is just what I have to learn in my life.
and it just couldn't be help and i guess very hard to change as well.
Its something in me that i couldn't be a little bit more stronger.
But i believe theres a weakness in everyone of us.
Its my work, and a group work. I don't want because of my carelessness and everyone get a lousy mark. And don't want because of me, the quality of the whole project got pulled down. Because everyone worked hard these 2 months just so that we could finish this project and get promoted.
I'm glad its over now.
I've finished my work.
We just have to compile it together and prepare for the screening tmr.

I thank everyone who had helped me during these times when i needed it.
And thanks for being patient with me and everything that ive done wrong, i apologize.

and everything i did well, thank me ok. HAHA. Just kidding.
Goodbye year 1. I hope we won't see each other again.

With lots of love,
me.

day 15

Monday today.

Went to school ard 12 smth. Still sick as usual and  got a growth, some say ulcer, some say some pus thingy grow on my throat. Gross. 

I slept at 4am last night just to crack my brain for ideas on what to draw for credits. Finally i had an idea. And i start sketching, and i couldn't take it anymore so i went to sleep.
its just really some rough sketches. Im thinking of whether should i animate it or leave it as illustration. We don't have much time left, and i still HAVENT FINISH MY MMFUND WORK! I know p1 is more impt than mmfund. But im very worried because i don't want to retake mmfund. Like seriously don't want to. I just want to pass this module chop chop and GIVE ME MY HOLIDAYS. T.T

K anyway, went to school and continued drawing. I had my medicine and i fall aslp on the chair. Woke up at 3 going to 4pm and i was so hungry so i left for cheers and canteen and bought alot of food for myself. I'm seriously gonna gain 10kg. K, went back class, finish eating and continue drawing again. Omg, never-ending cycle. 
But while drawing, i was watching some drama online as well. :D. hey, that balanced out my stress ok. haha.left school at 7smth for dinner. and reached home ard 10 smth.
And continue drawing until now. which is 3am for god sake. I am so bloody tired, im completely drained and restless. I seriously hope this whole block end end end end end!

Ok good nights. I'm gonna start a battle tmr.

Day another another saturday

As usual, we met up on another lazy saturday whereby everyone should have slept at home, or watch tv, or out shopping. But for now our saturday is for p1. Sad life.

Went to school and i begin squeezing out brain juices for animation for ending. None came out. All i could think of is, i haven't touch my mmfund work yet.

p1 is on 19 march, mmfund is on 20 march. tell me how to not worry? Just let me get promoted and DONT FAIL ME. Thank you, and full of love. byebye. Im so sick i could just die right here.

Day 14

Today theres presentation. Nt a class presentation though. More like a consultation. So we went to school to have our video edited and me, well, keep on coming up with more ideas on what to do for animation. 

Seriously sometimes I just wish i could stop thinking about P1, stop drawing and just sleep my day away. 

Ok, just kidding.

I went for my lesson after that. I lost my voice this morning, so i can't present for my MMfund. Sam ask me to do it next week. Sian.
Yanping msg me after that saying that is our turn soon for p1 presentation, so i took my leave and went down to meet them.
Then they said ronald ask to meet at his office. So we went to borrow Shuxian's laptop (since she got premier pro) and went up to his office. ue to some problems, sx's premier cant open our file and neither ronald nor shuxian got quicktime player to play our rendered video. So we had to go down and borrow jenny's laptop instead.

Ronald gave us some comments on our video. And thankfully he said he can follow what we were trying to convey through the video. Me and yanping keep thinking and very convinced that our video is way out of topic. But whats done is done. So lets hope after editing everything will better.
