Filming over my mid-term break weekend was quite a downer. Imagine running around a dilapidated building with its electricity cut, and an abundance of heat and dust. My wardrobe consisted of a shirt, pants and a goddamned TIE. Don't even get me started on the leather shoes.
Still, it was a fun learning experience, and I'll probably bitch less about inadequate actors when the film comes out from post-production. It's damn hard la!!! I'm really worried despite the praise from both of Licheng's film profs. I think they're lying.
Anyway here's the first draft of the poster (Ignore the tagline, he's probably gonna change it. I love the font that wrote 悔记!)

Last night Wilson and Shane held a concert in SMU's Arts and Cultural Centre. I really loved the way they treated my poem. It's interesting to see how people interpret your poetry. It's rewarding when people care enough to integrate it into their performances. So screw the MS mid-terms which I failed, I live for extra-curriculars, not SMU. The performance went pretty well, but they were right! ACC's acoustics are really terrible. And I think the tech team botched parts of the video rendering.

Party
On the evening bus I scanned
the row of lights in each
running house, surveying
the number of people staying in.
Reaching home, I switched on
each light myself, and held a party.
The ceiling lights in the living room
flickered with grouses of neglect.
The silence was electrifying.

The maternal and the dubious sister have flown to Hong Kong and left me to bleed slowly in SMU. Home alone till Sunday. :\

Lance and I spent 2 hours on Tuesday night inventing
Chuck Norris Facts. It's probably the most fun I had since joining Facebook:
Lance's Top Five:
it isn't carbon emissions which cause global warming; it's chuck norris running a fever.
veni, vidi, chucknorris: chuck came, chuck saw, chuck roundhouse kicked some ass.
dna didn't take the form of a double-helix until chuck norris was born - it used to be a single strand and then it unravelled in fear.
the truth may set you free, but only after it asks chuck norris for the keys.
give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. give chuck norris a fish and he'll trout-slap you with it.
My Top Five:
US Treasury bonds are backed by Chuck Norris's word. There is no Default Premium to speak of.
dike 1 also dyke (dk)
n.
1. An embankment of earth and rock built to prevent floods.
2. Chuck Norris's tear ducts.
We didn't start the fire, Chuck Norris did.
Mutually Assured Destruction is not part of Chuck Norris's dictionary. Duh.
The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is not just a number. It's Chuck Norris's cellphone number.
(There's more in the archives of my facebook wall. We're probably gonna start printing tshirts to display our genius.)
