Just finished a shot today at dover mrt. SP brings back so many happy memories of the days in DID with the mirth of laughter and joy especially the pain we've been through Cadding, rendering and model making... those were the days:)

Filming sure does take a long long time. 5 whole hours just for 2 footage. Different angles, multiple takes, touch ups etc gosh! Especially consideration of the bad weather, rain and all, good thing we only had to shuffle between two sheltered locations.

Arrived at appointed time slot of 130 yet had to entertain myself with a tour around SP campus while waiting for the film crew to arrive back from their cemetery shot :s.... Daily dosage of vitasoy is great for health and vitality... or so i'd liked to believe...

Finally getting down to business. Since it was a take outdoors, the bus stop was the dressing and make up room. Make up and touch up, loads of foundation and eyebrow shading?! I don't like bushy eyebrows! Filming outdoors is a noisy affair! The director had to make sure the cars and heavy trucks went by before rolling the cameras. But professionals aren't paid for nothing, camera and sound men worked as though adjusting volumes and getting the right reflector degree were a mundane thing. Comparing it with the days of Digital Media Arts classes where we took 4 whole hours just to wire up and take a few shots to perfection, carrying boom mikes, headphones and our DSLR video camera, no easy feat! Hands down-----It comes with experience

Little Miss Fury Bush (sounds wrong) and the make up artist

Lenny and me! poor production coordinator had to run rounds and make sure everything was inplace. Even had to fit in as "cal-le-fare "!

It started to rain just right after we finished and packed up at around 7pm, went to change and the crew headed off to another location. Television broadcast release on the 1st January!

I went to meet Mins and Jolene at Changi Airport to surprise Jolene on her 19th Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONKEY!!! and the surprise was............ME! haha Haven't met her in ages and was so excited to see that girl! 2 years since we last met cos of course transfer and school seperation.

Imagine a quiet airport filled with the scuffling of feet and trolleys towards the departure gates. Slient hugs and waves of goodbye as well as tears of joy upon seeing the missed love ones hung in the air of the stagnant movement within the hustle and bustle of terminal 1...............UNTIL THESE THREE INSANES ARRIVED AT THE VIEWING MALL AND DISRUPTED THE PEACE!!!! i swore the whole area was swamped with our contagious loud laughter while we exchanged salutations, sang a small birthday song, refreshed our memories with up to date informations about ourselves and exchange dirty glances at every pilot that walked by ;x;x Small frames with big hearts of love and joy. I thank God for friends like these.

At the viewing mall: Partners in crime! (Stop licking the lady you 2 numbnuts!)

Science-fiction discovery: What lies inside a kelaidescope (open your eyes and what do you see lalalala haha!! Especially Rihanna's Umbrella, in a club!)

The X-files: Suspicious character alert #1

The X-files #2: Confirm of suspicious character-> Jolene Alien attack!!!

I could never get enough of these two's nonsense! Mins progression with Katong Sebastian and filling me up with DID gossips, Jolene's crazy antics driving me to the brim of insanity! I got to feel once again the noisy train ride home, just the 3 of us, in our own world of girlish laughter and childish inside jokes

Missed them so much I HAD to make the trip all the way from Dover to the airport for this monkey and poor Mins too;p Wondering how she's been, hair grown longer? Has she still been sticking open her mouth like Dory from finding nemo (haha!) those days of crude and manner-less unlady-like banter and chatter from us famous 3 maiden-neers + one more gorilla Eleanor is a wrecket of ding dongs for T1 DID classes. The infamous NumbNuts relives!
