i'm home! in miri!

just came back yesterday afternoon and will be leaving on sunday at 0415pm. yay! havent been home for mid-sem since my first sem of foundation.

heh. the past few weeks has been (still is) horrible. workload's been pure madness; presentations, submissions for advertising, readings, journals, and biggest of all our minor production documentary. worst of all, i'm not even done with half of 'em. how to enjoy being home like thaaaat? eee.

luckily our minor production's done. will post it as soon as i get my hands on it coz we only finished printing to tape as i was on the way back home. apparently faizul thinks it's good and the day before sada said our shots look tripod-attached altho most of 'em are actually handheld! :D that was good to hear.

we were actually very worried coz we only had so little time to shoot and planning was (pretty much) horrible, so we felt like we didnt get enough of the shots we wanted to get. but overall, i'd say we did a pretty darn good job for such a last minute put together mini documentary. *cheers for team! we make an awesome group. heheh.

so.. here's some pics off the past week plus. there's a bloody lot though, so be forewarned.

first off, our first trip to pulau ketam when we were checking out the place. felt more like a holiday with the gang :D if only sayang was there too! but it was a friday so the poor fella had to work..

the next week, we went again for the actual shoot. 'twas a long day. a long, long, LONG day. went home feeling pretty dissatisfied with our shots. the next day, however, we went into our post-production editing lab and GUESS WHAT WE SAW?

THEN we started working on one. bloody celaka. crashes as much as a normal mac does and is sooo fucking slow. obviously it's the lowest end 20-inch ones laa, but still. sooo, we ended up doing what we do best.
