I genuinely felt that as we carried our luggage up to the service apartment. It didn't take long for my motivation to be completely swept away.<br /><br /><p>1st: MAGGOTS!!</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAafrpDHAWBGXe_LlJwz0fsHAzZPEv3ExTE_kR9wuFym1ieqz9AiIJ_twGsT7Syzqpg-Oy3b5D1WBNke8p9f2CuVPN0kpmiCzZ72jM2xeAJXuP58ppS-yEFmXdb_xtVl5NNcjLeg/s1600-h/3_25_2008+4_29+PM_0001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181720429183733234" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAafrpDHAWBGXe_LlJwz0fsHAzZPEv3ExTE_kR9wuFym1ieqz9AiIJ_twGsT7Syzqpg-Oy3b5D1WBNke8p9f2CuVPN0kpmiCzZ72jM2xeAJXuP58ppS-yEFmXdb_xtVl5NNcjLeg/s320/3_25_2008+4_29+PM_0001.jpg" border="0" /></a> We found maggots on the floor, chewing on the eggs I carelessly left there. The smell wasn't too bad, but cleaning up was really hard. They keep popping out of the carpet!! While I was using tissues to clear off maggot by maggot, Joseph was smart enough to google our way of this mess: BOILING HOT WATER. Still, it took us several hours before the situation was resolved, because we couldn't find the electric kettle... Ewww, DISGUSTING!! <span style="font-size:85%;"><em>Oh I kept 2 dead maggots.

He called later, surprising us with an almost unbelievable task - make 21 videos in 2 weeks!! That's crazy!! But Joe & I are determinded to make it happen. We have these yellow stick-ons that will help us keep track of our everyday work schedule. We still don't have a board, so the cupboard will have to do for now.<br /><br /><br />3rd: Almost useless footage<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgurzCRavxKWtq8UkliPdpzrD8b2BvdtK4woCau_BBD4P4bII8xbdcicGCDX3XDsQQD4IILSRE6nqCO4UKhk14PhSZGN3rphAIUi_pbJowEMnPU-Z9bjFtoXNBe17Oj2Hgqrfo1iw/s1600-h/IMGA0858.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181724616776846866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgurzCRavxKWtq8UkliPdpzrD8b2BvdtK4woCau_BBD4P4bII8xbdcicGCDX3XDsQQD4IILSRE6nqCO4UKhk14PhSZGN3rphAIUi_pbJowEMnPU-Z9bjFtoXNBe17Oj2Hgqrfo1iw/s320/IMGA0858.JPG" border="0" /></a>We immediately got to work as soon as the instructions were given. First stop would be Danga Beach Clubs. I had to do the commentary this time, as my weak wrist won't allow me to carry the video camera. Took me a while to get into the groove, but I did it. I was so proud of myself that I even camwhored a bit (just a bit). I was very excited about editing the footage too. But there was NO AUDIO!! NOOOO!!! Somehow the wireless mic didn't work, so all my live commentary is now gone. & so is my confidence. Will have to do several re-shoots & a lot of editing tomorrow night.<br /><br />4th: I still don't have a bed!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1BOCvTAK-K3Ca7JDL1OkSAiRD2iDlP_NaDTa_xM520G6FgW56fE7-QLKknu3mQXJQbk_y6xEvX0lDyCEzu-yVqy91SoG3BrreiD43XV-nUMwU7teFz7YK3eukgjiZwqmxApkfw/s1600-h/IMGA0859.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181726235979517474" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo1BOCvTAK-K3Ca7JDL1OkSAiRD2iDlP_NaDTa_xM520G6FgW56fE7-QLKknu3mQXJQbk_y6xEvX0lDyCEzu-yVqy91SoG3BrreiD43XV-nUMwU7teFz7YK3eukgjiZwqmxApkfw/s320/IMGA0859.JPG" border="0" /></a>I finally have a proper mattress. The dude who delivered the bedframe said we could install it ourselves, so we spared him the trouble. To our dismay, we found out that there were no screws provided!! Can't install bedframe!! By the way, the bedframe is not a new 1!! No idea when the guy will come & claim the frame back. Might be here in the room forever. Like the dead maggots under the carpet.<br /><br />So tonight I go sleep on a frameless bed, hoping that the maggots won't come alive & eat me in my sleep (eat joseph, please!!) & wishing for a better tomorrow.

Turns out we got way better - 1 week holiday!! That's right!! No need to leave KL for the entire week - how amazing is that? Can spend time with family & loved ones...<br /><br />Ok let me share with you another highlight of mine. Last Friday, while we were covering the Landmark IT Mall Computer Fair, I approached a girl (with name card & everything) in view of recruiting her into our video crew. It was a real breakthrough for me, as I had been having this fear of approaching unknown pretty girls. I shouldn't have this fear - afterall, I'm going to be a big-time director.<br /><br />I got down her email, & in case she doesn't reply emails we do know where she works (& studies). The plan is to meet up with her, get to know her personally, try her out in several video shoots, then only determine how or if we want to integrate her into our video crew. I'm excited about it. She seems excited about it too, so let's hope this works out well.<br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179126471101772594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvZwaR1zlVPVQ-wMq-_UMbzSW7ZdL1Opv7KPGPmMPEeGeBW7sUzC5YyfMjRrvUXj0N1h0i4HxvMC05LyA5vl1q5F8BwtEe8cPNdQHdWf3YnhPAN5foqNI7yl2xF_R1clbaywXcUg/s400/_0001_0001.jpg" border="0" /></div>Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-10810416098434282932008-03-13T09:17:00.000-07:002008-11-18T14:27:44.181-08:00JB Log 5It's our fifth week here in JB. We have descended from a high - big apartment, covering events, meeting people - to a very low, low. We now live & work in a room that is infested with dustmites. We thought we killed them all last week, but they live to fight another day. Joseph's going to bring his lampberger next week & we're so going to nuke this place!!

It's been raining for the entire week here in JB. And when it rains in JB, it rains the whole day. & because we live by the sea (I think), the rain smells like a dirty toilet!! The only good side about it is that we don't have to go out for videoshoots. I miss covering events - hanging out with the press, free pass to events, meeting new people. But it seems that March is a dry season for events.

We sounded our troubles to him - well, we basically really really REALLY really wanted to move back to our previous apartment. But I suppose a clean room, an extra bed with clean sheets & good pillows, powerful aircon, & proper work furniture will have to do for the next 3 months - till we get our proper office & apartment. <br /><br />So we spent last night & this morning cleaning our room with our boss' powerful vacuum cleaner. <br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5173926023769131970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf8jLbdqFyfeWwxgblU98OT-_KdD72mZktf9Uy3FTH7a1Dcr9WYRIPQ4A9zS1uvyE9hYfzlPxLBHdntvTFnlRFGKFX5gqLjPwOZ79fL1qa05AbEmFxyMrCs3UsGmaTNPW3f7c0PQ/s320/IMGA0822.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div>& we found out what caused us to itch for the past 2 days - dustmites.

I don't have any friends, & most of them don't read my blog (when bloggers say that, it's a small hint of request for readers to leave comments. I'm sincere however, but that goes to show that I'm just talking to myself now. Tragic....). But anyway, I wanted to write about my videography expeditions in JB anyway. In fact, Joseph & I have been messing around with the idea of starting a personal vlog on our life here. We still can't agree on a name, so don't know if that will ever become reality. <div><div> </div><div>So anyway, Joseph & I landed a videography job in JB. Yes, our namecards do say "VIDEOGRAPHER". Our task is to produce videos on the happenings in the Iskandar Development Region, South Johor. Basically, we're vloggers lah. Paid ones. The website that bears our mark is <a href="http://www.iskandar.com.my/">www.iskandar.com.my</a>. That would give you an idea on what we do here.</div><div> </div><div>It's been about 3 weeks now, & everything is starting to fall into place. Not very nicely, but we'll play the cards we're dealt with (Joseph's quote) & produce the best videos for our company. The first thing that was provided for us is an apartment in Danga View Apartments. It's a very nice 3-room apartment, but Joseph is everyday awaken to the sound of Muslim prayers. It has microwave, washing machine... </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171966848549218002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8SrjKao0BPetJ72qlPHiZdeoKywW-87KWFrTMDqKokSMMdLnmRWOZvNnNf-NtXbxZoms3CU_l9og4vPigoIbmcqLto0w2J9pZstrU7G6_NZiqMAybiLDYnmdBmZOELB9NzRf1Eg/s320/IMGA0779.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171966212894058178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHHAT88EJcTawDAstAYvJ_FUdn-wIZ7gmfCJMPYhzvgDQWaLLuUI4LRbDmhiF6rueuXTHtcJAi4tFEmIk8GPh_1lNHw-ypGLLbZTMyetKaiWde-vt9f7wGL0bBJRopjrPuxl3szw/s320/IMGA0703.JPG" border="0" /></p><p>But just as we were about to get comfortable with 2 of us OWNING the whole apartment, our boss asks us to move in with 4 other people. Worst part is that we have to share 1 room!! How crappy is that?! From a big apartment to sharing a room? We're going to sleep, eat, & do work in that small rectangle!! GOSH!! How sucky is that?</p><p>There's a lifeline though. The original plan was to provide us with an apartment cum office in Danga Walk (office lots). And that can only be realised if we manage to get more people to work together with us. So, if you do anybody who lives in JB, loves to be on & off camera, has a great personality & enjoys working in a team, let me know at <a href="mailto:joashchan@gmail.com">joashchan@gmail.com</a>. </p><p>I'm actually blogging in the car, parked outside Festive Street Mall, using their free WIFI (ya, we still don't have internet connection - sad right?). And we're hungry, so I think I'll just leave the rest for another time.

That's right, a hired, paid, salary-earning vlogger. I'm now a part of a company that runs a video-based website. Why JB? Well, it's because we're covering the Iskandar Development Region (IDR), a government initiative for economical growth in the state of Johor.<br /><br />With me I brought a bag of clothes, 2 amatuer video cameras, & Joseph Teng. Haha, yup. We're the pilot crew of this project & thank God I'm working with someone good. I'll reveal the website at a later stage, for the simple reason that we haven't really got any work done. We've only been here 5 days, the company is at its' beginning stages so we don't really have much to work with.<br /><br />We have an apartment provided for us, which is nice. But we're still waiting on things like internet connection (I'm blogging from a cyber cafe). There's no car, so we have to go on foot for food, internet, groceries, & events in Danga Bay. It's good exercise, but I'm really hoping that we'll get a car soon. Living & eating in Danga Bay is slightly off our budget at the current moment. The apartment has microwave oven & an electrical kettle, so we sometimes cook maggi. But that's no way to live. & gosh there aren't any mamaks nearby!!<br /><br />Anyway, in spite of it all, I'm pretty excited about the future. It's one of my dream jobs. Only downside is staying away from my family & loved ones. I miss them a lot (going back next Friday!! YAY!!).<br /><br />Pictures coming up.Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-76777407899611630292008-02-01T19:43:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:27:46.141-08:00My First Rock Concert<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHg5fq45Je6z8TttKpYp4ZdEb9jNNnJBuUGeA0x3DYvBp3q0Q2x6vSP-GVEBe4xNkvX4yKEnn4EWND7rRLQztMDxJ8O1PPkTNqaQfO9CLqLuYHHkfWgCs5_M5t86BKm_LL2qFUBg/s1600-h/sfkl_poster_500.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHg5fq45Je6z8TttKpYp4ZdEb9jNNnJBuUGeA0x3DYvBp3q0Q2x6vSP-GVEBe4xNkvX4yKEnn4EWND7rRLQztMDxJ8O1PPkTNqaQfO9CLqLuYHHkfWgCs5_M5t86BKm_LL2qFUBg/s400/sfkl_poster_500.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br />Tonight will my first time attending a rock concert. The other concert I attended was hardly rock, it was Lee Hom. Now, it's SWITCHFOOT!! I believe they are one of those bands that would turn up a gear in concert, rather than just play like the album. Hope they won't disappoint, cause my hopes are high up!! And I'm sacrificing a lot - I don't really like to stand for 4 whole hours & buying overpriced mineral water.<br /><br />But you know, the main factor that caused me to want to go to their concert is their podcasts on YouTube. I really really really want to meet the guy behind all those videos. This guy is having 1 of my dream jobs!! To follow a bunch of rockers & just document their every move, make videos for the world to see... Wow. I hope to get a picture & even do an interview with him. Who knows? He might even be nice enough to bring me backstage!! I won't bring my video camera (in fear of being taken /stolen away from me), but I'll take May's digital camera.<br /><br />Should be fun.<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-48355024994570379392008-01-30T10:22:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:27:46.365-08:00Introducing Picasa<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"> </div><br />Hear ye Hear ye!!

After keying in the infos of the album, click OK & all your photos will be automatically uploaded onto your Picasa web album. That's right - no more having to browse for every single picture.<br /><br />Email: If you have just taken photos of a group event & would want to distribute to all your friends, all you need to do is put all the photos you want on that tray, & click that Email button. The next interface you'll see your email account's (gmail or outlook) compose mail page, with all your photos already attached onto that email. You'll just have to get the addresses in there & click Send.<br /><br />BlogThis!: You'd have probably figured out how this function works. Choose your photo(s), click on this button & the Blogger homepage will appear. The last time I checked, there's a 4-file limit for this function.<br /><br />There are many other functions in Picasa such as making a movie with your photos, exporting as HTML page, basic photo editing etc... But I think my 3 points are more than enough reason for you to get a hold on PICASA. Think of it as your Italian girlfriend =)<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-53282682941146452692008-01-22T19:34:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:27:46.840-08:00Wacky Mamak<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCFNYsmf5wTglhIqtXwiliIqaIGmpiA_u01qkmnLfnojJg5GTNKhUigZPx1ASLsWdAQNr71KIr-gZLYkgG2x4-3KXoOHmC_Qr_EndIafaOhVmU1-t1YwpbF55hE3BErbtwUDzUA/s1600-h/IMG_0706.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158511959036036706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCFNYsmf5wTglhIqtXwiliIqaIGmpiA_u01qkmnLfnojJg5GTNKhUigZPx1ASLsWdAQNr71KIr-gZLYkgG2x4-3KXoOHmC_Qr_EndIafaOhVmU1-t1YwpbF55hE3BErbtwUDzUA/s320/IMG_0706.jpg" border="0" /></a><em><strong> What could have made us laugh non-stop at this mamak stall?</strong></em></div><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1YJMTZnKl8x1kSizZZuhCgPX1kBGh8zyztRX4wQt2y4dstUA1ZZ49LQggyY8zzDi3YyeiunDGRFfgTTgJA4ef1J8qF46C6eECtdJEI96Omn7DcQROaRTaz3yC2v-vVY99z5XUDQ/s1600-h/IMG_0708.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158511971920938610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1YJMTZnKl8x1kSizZZuhCgPX1kBGh8zyztRX4wQt2y4dstUA1ZZ49LQggyY8zzDi3YyeiunDGRFfgTTgJA4ef1J8qF46C6eECtdJEI96Omn7DcQROaRTaz3yC2v-vVY99z5XUDQ/s320/IMG_0708.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Can you see where Ben is looking at?</em></strong><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Az1gq2faYnsqYODA8GaVMhVh9FPEdtj_wXoa0dwMqtI2D2EG9jazIR_2gTDX1HPmVFDDYEkegap09YdmUgTIKGR_Abvf5nrS0hz3iQRplHG6dsiKm4eNp7S-np0wsH6QHaKeVw/s1600-h/IMG_1708.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158511976215905922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Az1gq2faYnsqYODA8GaVMhVh9FPEdtj_wXoa0dwMqtI2D2EG9jazIR_2gTDX1HPmVFDDYEkegap09YdmUgTIKGR_Abvf5nrS0hz3iQRplHG6dsiKm4eNp7S-np0wsH6QHaKeVw/s320/IMG_1708.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><em><strong>Our mamak boss' little pouch on his apron had so many coins that it looked as if he grew a second penis on his tummy!!</strong></em><br /></p>Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-61535977089061379982008-01-08T23:21:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:27:47.101-08:00Hospitalized JoeI remember 15 years ago I was at the same hospital for the same operation.

We've been here since Friday & we have been on the roll ever since we arrived. And so far my job as a videographer has been a wild & amazing journey. The luxury of being on a cruise, the rush of sitting on a speedboat, the coolness of attending a press conference & rubbing shoulders with the likes of RTM & Berita Harian, the delicious free food... Our organisers have been great in providing us an awesome experience of JB and its development. Cassie has been great not only in front of the camera, but in planning & managing our work here. It's our first time working together & so far everything has been good.<br /><br /><br />In spite of all the good stuff, I must say that it has also been a bittersweet experience for me. Being away from my family & May to be on my first field job has not been easy. I miss them terribly. There were some 'firsts moments' in my life here that I didn't get to share or experience with them, especially May, & that really breaks my heart. I wish I can bring my loved ones, pack them in a luggage bag & take them wherever I go.<br /><br /><br />Tomorrow will be our final day of shooting (for the initial phase of the project). And if everything goes well I can be back home (KL) before midnight. I'll write more extensively on my fieldtrip in JB, but here are some nice pictures for you...<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144495458102072146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiUJHj2wR2RRcRwR_Bd0czp39uiPazK85aBtm7ahf3z8azyVwtIQKhweWNA8MO2ivLzBYXpA6UWiavG35aR3I2Qc66Ur-pQ5-QChW6SQC6umZaEjBNO2xHbxd0ie_rAaY9Yyg3w/s320/IMGA0431.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Taking a break at Festive Street Mall, Danga Bay.</span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144495449512137522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4aI7VBOAJAZRFeQ0tE3rlozZxOd0UVuk_UnAip25OfZ222bF5J_xJ7ucn6M_EVFvMLuzN8F34Ivge8YGEz1AKlzpAUGrPFmZlzM2Tf6M-BUJT3rP0e1lgRxLq9MIjfWtFZBJM1Q/s320/IMGA0382.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center"><em><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">The cruise</span></strong></em></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144495462397039458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9njpwLMtoqTmqQ4CTFgoypN6FFEdqA9EIwbqgQ0AX-s5L0tc7vY8kjRyHrvqQSE1jCFLxsghw03ExcHpNTpRuLQyyEWrhWygmL6ZvpS-r19JGLLcdsVNLs15uvCl7wTPJw5rAPg/s320/IMGA0434.JPG" border="0" /></span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Cassie Lee</span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144495453807104834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOT5433lSSst0eGl3V6VGVRB1GHc2C3Vzp-aTPgT4FHfoPhBU6AJmR4ezJ_qS_blZ18rgytWoOWJ1FgrswzKvfSO4vfDjrSZw2YjTa8pXalVX6utI6eqxvmCFGxlKI9LAxWhKyFw/s320/IMGA0399.JPG" border="0" /></span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Amazing meal at Anna's kitchen</span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144495440922202914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP3bnTiCwBPVj9YEX1Sul17NW-UrGfMcOpqF6gpO4rj9PTGaYvj-QfwKpQI5Tgpu2P6Dv8AVw0rOI6mjBk6kP7eAqXREMwodXI-zS5CHX_SCaaw8AD06cL8DMIouJ5Ab64tE0cjg/s320/IMGA0378.JPG" border="0" /></span></em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Sunset by the Bay...</span></em></strong></p><p align="center"></p><br /><div align="center"><embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fjoashchan%2Falbumid%2F5150945150360933873%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss"></embed></div>Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-42480269204374398752008-01-02T19:50:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:27:48.150-08:00Best Wishes<div align="center"> <em><strong>Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!</strong></em></div><div align="center"><strong><em></em></strong> </div><div align="center"><strong><em></em></strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151094640992639698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqJx5ip_QBJuKzFtNUdK-_MKXjvYnChv0I1IJ2uzlyLUnq7F8UsXK3X7UzLVW5-L2g4iM11U2HVUuyqGva1Hl-Letk1_mha1U426CNurSRwiqs1cavqgmo89FiuNL64v13BuASrw/s320/pics+111.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><strong><em></em></strong></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151094645287607010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5-GSkSY-r53G5CsD7xpWvbpWx3RyGDLeLhvUXNjxyroOr6dEBSejUmlC-ll2FqY2644e_W9qKC5882B8pcmqqTgJ7D2xSfRePNxrQDTzDyV4HXgGVIJRNWrWGEp4JlAgB2jQOJw/s320/pics+120.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151094649582574322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3CPB1zM2dwGlqf-6zjR0mHXOBgZ3_a3CRkR1eBjsZtN5VO5HJ4qVUHKMELdgsr5xJvHx2IeRjgtogyA5bvhh4tvuocRfHFfYSz3tmFnDSIAe3Wdjiq_F6CUEqIWNa0p9HdW9fDA/s320/pics+116.jpg" border="0" /></div></div><em><span style="font-size:85%;">*pictures are of amazing desserts prepared by a young, up & rising chef - Jevon Lim.

Footage were taken in Batu Pahat, Johor, on January 26, 2007. This is way overdue, of course. But recently the government has been talking about measures taken in preparation for yet another possible series of floods, and the problem with that is that after an entire year, we still don't have (or have not heard of) a long term solution in PREVENTING such disasters from happening again.<br /><br />There are still problems with embeded google videos, so <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2640665130269344878&hl=en"><strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">here's the link to my little documentary</span></em></strong></a>.

Neither could I imagine myself out of the top 3 placings. For the past 2 weeks I've been getting mix reviews from friends, mostly positive ones. Even so, one can't help but to think about the mistakes we made - we should have done more research & planning before the contest; we shouldn't have wasted almost 2 hours in Rawang; I should have used Adobe Premier Pro for sound mixing; boy we should have had time for Penang food...<br /><br /><br /><br />It was really nerve-wrecking to wait for the results with May & Freddi. The MC was counting down from 10th place & we kept saying <strong><em>"don't call our name, please don't call our name"</em></strong>. Good thing we were told beforehand that we were in the top 5, haha!! But in the end, we were beaten by a worthy opponent, & the results were fair. It's a bittersweet feeling, though, knowing that there was a 50% chance we would get first prize and RM2000 more.<br /><br /><br /><br />Well, all in all, I'm grateful for the outcome of my first attempt in a video competition and my first taste of fame. Knowing that I could have done so much better with the video, I have confidence moving forward.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/joashchan/NotAGenius/photo?authkey=lVGXkdL4ezc#5136124907598233138"><img src="http://lh5.google.co.uk/joashchan/R0cuZB9tvjI/AAAAAAAAFEw/TWYaYzf5iM0/s400/IMGA0277.JPG" /></a></p><br /><br />A big <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;"><strong><em>THANKS</em></strong></span> to all those who voted for us.Joash Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18304441244834601303noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17751572.post-90052211793760756272007-11-12T12:58:00.000-08:002007-11-12T13:12:49.799-08:00Vote For Freddi & Co.<strong><em>In case you don't already know, I've </em></strong><a href="http://notageniuslah.blogspot.com/2007/10/yatta.html"><strong><em>entered a competition</em></strong></a><strong><em> with my excolleague, Freddi, and May.
