for she's a jolly good fellow!

Longggggggg post ahead.


BRATs part II

Residents of room 1412. ;)





Joye on left, May Khei on right.


SO,
First and foremost,
I was in group 3 which we called ourselves the HOOHAHs. (!!)

We were assign our own roles like
Editor, reporter, videographer, photographer etc.
I was the reporter initially,
But they insisted I become the photographer because they claim I take good pictures. (not self praising okay)
I really wanted to be reporter :(

So anyways, we were suppose to go to Penang Road to interview those street performers and we already had a pretty cool angle on what to do.
We were suppose to have a photo/audio slide show btw.

But lo and behold,

In rained.

:(

So my group was assign to go to Prangin Mall.
It felt like a Sungai Wang Plaza mix Berjaya Times Square.
We really didn’t find anything that caught our attention except this old man collecting rubbish and cardboards.
We thought it would have been an awesome story if we manage to interview him and get shots of him doing his um, job.
Well, obviously it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
He scolded us in Chinese and if im not wrong he said we were wasting his time.

Fortunate enough we were lucky that this big charity thing was going on.
So yes!
We were saved.

It was a charity program to raise money for mentally retarded children as well as the earthquake victims from China.
They were super sweet and probably the most selfless people.



These ladies were really cute.
When i mention i was from the Star and asked if i could take a picture they went;
'THE STAR THE STAR!'
and they started posing while that old man continued keenly into his job.




He was our main focus because he was 77 years of age and still help out in this charity without expecting any sort of benefit in return.
He made these grasshoppers for the children.


Even this lady who was crippled didnt stop her from lending a hand



After that we headed back to the hotel and into our hall.
There the work began for the video editors.
Rebekah was our sub-editor but being the only one knowing how to use the program she had to do the editing.
Without complain somemore.
Hughughug!
:D

I couldn’t help much except giving opinions.
So while they were editing the photos,
A handful of us went to mingle with the seniors.
I tell you the seniors are full of random games, jokes and humor !

Well, we started taking pictures because the seniors were daring each other with "who can take more pictures with the junior" .
hilarious lah they all.
there were 4 seniors.
one for each group.


Diyana !
my group's senior and my tv show partner. :D
she's only 18 btw.


Gan!
who is only my age and claims i look like her add maths tutor.
ahahah.


Miu Kee also known as Miux who is 21.
and Gan's hand i think.


SADLY,
i dont have a picture with Muzani.
He's another senior and the only person i know that studied closest to my school.
SU or SJ im not sure.
He's 18 though and we both know Lim Bee Lan!
ahhahah.
i believe every BRAT thinks Muzani is (insert word)
bahaha.

She's not chinese you know!
Kei Melia. :D


I believe Finaz is my camwhore partner throughout the workshop.
Mrs editor in my group.



the halls




okay im not going to go in detail about our second outdoor assignment yet.
group 3 had a chance to board the ferry to butterworth and meet the captain.
we were suppose to make a video and write two articles.
which you might or might not read in the papers this Sunday.
haha.
i'll probably elaborate bout it later.
this post is getting too long already.

As you know,

We celebrated Tze Yin’s birthday yesterday.

And singing “Ken’s” lines in the Barbie girl song.
Ahahhaha
And the sound effects he made during “Gimme More”

The movie was just alright.
Not all THAT good but humorous at some parts.
I was expecting so much more since it was a George Lucas add Steven Spielberg movie.

vibe

hey again people.

Well if you wanted to know why i enjoyed Happy Moments before i blog about it,
here's what David said,

BTW, he help organised the event and David's a BRATs to.

told you BRATs was pretty awesome. ;)


Link here.


oh and its little typo btw,
my sister's name was Jessica. :P

we can all agree

Oh gosh where do I start.

I should just do it chronologically right.
So BRATs.

I really never regretted going and its such a waste you people didn’t go!
Loads of people from KL.
And handfuls from other states and even from Sarawak.
I didn’t find anyone schooling in the usj area.
The nearest was Taman SEA or SU.

We went there and we were awkward like duh right.
Then Qisthina sat beside me and we found out we both stayed in the Kota Kemuning area.
So cool right.


After getting introduced and stuff we headed for our first editorial activity.
They took us to Penang Road and asked us to snap pictures of anything that inspired us or told a story.
So yeah the 38 of us walked around randomly snapping away.

My dad offered me his DSLr but I declined cause scared lose it in the air port :(
So sad right.
They would have made superbly terrer pictures lor. !

Okay so here’s a few I took.




Trishaw dude


Sweet little kids that were happy to take a picture


I spotted this particular grafiti everywhere.
water hydrants, post box, walls etc.


An uncle pushing this huge bicycle into his shop.



People playing checkers with bottle caps.


A shop owner looking at his clocks i think


Another shop owner tayloring





ahahah LV hahah


Its not as easy as you all think it is.
How would you feel if some stranger started snapping pictures in your face right.
We had a protocol of introducing ourselves and asking permission and stuff.

After that we had to select a few photos in our groups and had a critic session by our administrators.

One of us had to donate money to this begger who was smoking to get his permission to snap his picture.
Yeah stuff like that.
I personally liked it a lot.

My roomies were May Khei who was 16 from Taiping and Joye who was 19 from KL.
Joye is loaded with laughter and food.
Our room had never ending supply of junk food !
She doesn’t look or act her age :P
But she’s one of the sweetest person there.
Hor Joye ? :P
Oh and she’s famous for her laugh.
Nudges Kei.

our room was really nice too.
Even had an iron. (jakun ing)
and ALL our meals were buffet okay!
the hotel buffet.
you name what also got.
not bad for the price of RM 120.
well Maybank and Nikon sponsered :PP

Penang ! from my room




Joye's crazily addictive nuts








Thank God I brought an extra memory chip because I used up the first one.
I have loads of photos and its abit tiring to do it all at once.
Plus I have so much to say !
So next post lah okay. :P

I believe this is the first day I relaxed since I finish exams.

Nevertheless.
I miss miss miss my BRATs

Next post soon.
