Busy period

You know, school is getting more and more boring especially when you are attending lectures and tutorials of the modules that you had no interest? It's like a waste of time. 

And actually I am here typing this for a simple reason - having a writer block right now. I love to write when I was in both pri and sec schools. However, when I stepped into fsv, I realized that my writings are bad, I couldn't bring out the characters' emotion, actions and my dialogues are boring. It's a challenge given to me whenever I need to write.

Today's storytelling lesson, I actually learnt something important which I believed that it will help me through this writer block - change of perspective. For my current storytelling assignment, which is to write a story, I got a C. Not surprised by this result because I did it the night before submission till the early morning, catching only 2 freaking hours of sleep before I rushed to school. Yea, that's the kind of life I am leading right now, and it only happens on submission days. Kind of upset with myself for my poor time management but I realized I could only write/work/come out with ideas when the submission day is nearing. Weird. 

Back to topic. 
I wrote my whole story from the main character's point of view. I just wrote whatever came to my mind because I knew I was rushing for time and ideas doesn't come to me easily. It was also at that moment, I realized how different it is compared to writing a composition during pri and sec schools. Everything was different. The writing style, words used, content, theme, etc. I really like reading my friend's story/script. The way the express the characters' thoughts/expression/action is way better than mine. The specific words that they used, the feeling.. I am impressed and hopes to be like them. 

Alright, photo of the day....
After 1 year.
I finally decided to cut my hair after letting it grow for a year, after all the crazy working schedules. 

Okay back to work now. Remember, change of perspective is very useful. And crazy schedules up ahead. Having shoots on the third and fourth day of cny, a 1.5 - 2k words of proposal after cny break, final project for computer graphics shoot and a full script for storytelling before school terms end. Seriously, FMS lived up to it's name - Forever Missing Sleep.
