#BARCAMPSG4
hello. i've been really really busy so i'm sorry for my disappearance.미안해요!
& so i went to barcamp on 21st nov at suntec city's IDA office. it's actually a good experience and definitely refreshing. i've never really attended such events so it was definitely a fruitful one for me.
so what is barcampsg? to put it simply, it is just an unconference talks by different people. made any sense? no? okay. it's like an informal conference where people come together to talk about stuff. it doesnt really matter what the topic is about, it's mostly about sharing with the others about your experiences & through that you would hope that your presentations have helped them in one way or another. it's really interesting and you get to network with all sorts of people! you get to know more people, you get to talk to them, you get to stay in contact and lastly you get to learn something from there. so for more information please go to http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampSingapore4 XDDDDD
overall, i think the event was really a success, i mean from the turned up rate, you can see how many people are actually interested in such events. from the point of view of a newbie at barcamp, i can see that these people who turned up have already knew one another from previous events. it could be from the last barcamp or any other similar events. it's really an eye opener i guess.
so some people that i met and talked to and just listened to throughout the whole event includes @kziqi @metacole @_Arul @chrisgomez @preetamrai @wei2 @burnflare @dwightTurner @skinnylatte and @chinyong. well all those are their twitter names so if you wanna find out more, perhaps you can follow them on twitter?
well, as an 18 years old(kinda very young,really) & also a newbie there, i feel weird. i mean who doesnt right? when you see a sea of people talking to one another like as if they knew everything about them is just plain scary sometimes. of course, i went with my awesome lecturer and seniors and friends, but you still feel out of place sometimes?
but thank god, we kind of fit in after a while. talked to strangers who are now our contacts and knowing that opening your mouth isnt that bad afterall, is really 1 good thing that i've learnt. but once i've started talking, you know im not stopping anytime soon :DD
SO yeah. the whole thing was a really good experience. like to thank @pingkwa for telling the year 2s about it. &&& i've gotten myself a POKEN from there! it's like a thumbdrive but it's not. it's much much cooler!
well, there's some pictures that i took and @mkvlln took from barcamp! enjoys!

well, here's the link to the photos that we taken by @mkvlln :) BARCAMPSG4
ONEWORLDAY @SP
well, so sorry for the late update. school is really bad right now.
bad schedule for everything :(
anyway, ONEWORLDAY @SP was a blast. it's like a day for all the countries, nationalities and people of the different racial groups. overall i think the event was a success. the school of business foyer was almost crowded with a sea of people. lol. yeah.
well, they have booth for the different countries and they have a stage for performances!
DMC seniors were performing. it was really GOOD! coursemates were performing too!
REALLY REALLY AWESOME. okay mostly because they were performing to kpop songs :D
okay besides all the booth, i went to make korean paper dolls with my besties :)
good experience. i think pictures speak better than words. enjoys!
Barclays Singapore Open - Golf, Sentosa
Went for a field trip to Barclays Singapore Open at Sentosa today.
i'm loving my TV Studio Management Module XDD
Overall, i shall say that the whole trip was good and beneficial.
Honestly speaking, i think a lot of people around the world is deceived by the media's live coverage, especially for such HUGE + MAJOR sporting events.
We had Mark from World Sport Group to show us around the whole event ground.
so why did i say that people are deceived by the media's live coverage?
well, i dont know. i guess this is my own opinion. i mean, after going through the whole trip,
i realised that working for a "Live" broadcasting event/show would be a terrifying yet an honourable experience for the production crew. there would be a lot of challenges and i'm very sure that planning can almost be defined as 'hell' to them. you need to take a lot of considerations for the whole event.
you need to think about your sponsors. how and where would you place their products/brand names so that the your cameramen can record the whole event and these things at the same time. you need to know where to place your cameramen around so that the best footage can be captured and many others. imagine screwing up a minor part of your event LIVE, what will you receive afterwards?
i bet your PR departments are handling calls from all the various sponsors. & in order for this kind of things to not happen, planning must be a major thing.
well, of course, the people and audiences arent aware of such things. so i guess all of us are fooled by it? maybe not entirely fooled but, partly? everyone knows that to manage an event, planning must be done. but the intensity level will always differ in each event.
Anyway, we went to see where the audio mix, graphic mix, commentary, engineering, video editing, media and many other rooms that plays a major part in transmitting the perfect video of the live coverage on our tv set.
the equipment involved were just too overwhelming. the sound desk, different boards, the buttons on them, the cables and more.
we also learnt about how they transmit their coverage to the different parts of the world via satellite.
i dont know how they can manage such equipments.
it's really impressive and first hand experience (looking at them in front of your eyes) is just too WOW. lol.
& Mark said something,
"How & Where you place your camera is very important because at the end of the day, it's all about telling a story to your audience and people who are watching."
well, i guess, everything revolves around the word "STORY" in media :)
As for Barclays Singapore Open golf event itself, we didnt really get to see much because we were focusing more on the media side. took some photos though :)
MARK WAID, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF BOOM! COMICS
well, i'm sure most of you have read/watched the comic characters such as The flash, Captain America and Superman on tv or read it from a comic book before.
The newer generations wouldnt be as interested about Captain America right? but the older ones will say that it was part of their childhood.
& yes they were part of my childhood too (eventhough most of my frens argued that i have no childhood and went straight to be an "ajumma"(aunty) after being born)
ohwell, so yeah.
Mark Waid, he used to write for DC comics and Marvel comics before being an editor of his own comics company-Boom!
& please, it is just unfortunate that he has to promote his company's name (Boom!) this month at the Singapore's writers festival right after the BOOMZ incident in singapore. yes, i'm talking about Ris Low. but let's forget about her okay?
So he came down to Singapore polytechnic to give a talk to the students about his works. it was kinda nice. personally, i cant really hear him at first. perhaps, it's because i'm sitting way at the back? i'm not sure. i have to get used to his way of talking too before understanding the whole conversation :D
Generally, his talks were kind of amazing. after a while, i gathered that Mark Waid is indeed a very frank and friendly person. he has this aura? that makes the crowd feel at ease? do i make sense? lol.
after sitting in for that almost 2hrs talk, i've learnt 2 new things.
1. Comics has it's own language. you cant incoporate a tv/movies angles into a comics strip. it wont work. the things that might be good for comics would not be as good for the tv/movies and vice versa.
2. a story is : "SOMEONE WANTS SOMETHING. BUT SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY." yup. a direct quote from Mark Waid himself :D
& of course after that, we took pictures with him!
going to a polytechnic is really awesome because you get to meet a lot of people! and visit nice places :D
I LOVE SP DMC :D
PS: Mark Waid has a twitter account. it's @Markwaid
Sunday + DOVE GO FRESH, OGILVY
At about 1.30pm, i ended my tutoring. there goes my sedentary job. not that bad,actually.
left with 1 O level student and i'm done. it's sad because it means that i will not be earning money after Os. ohwell, let's think about it later.
at about 2plus, i went to the library to borrow some books that i dont even know if i can finish reading. but it's okay :)
at least i made an effort to borrow books.
just finished my korean homework. i think i need to write nicer.
my alphabets are horrendous looking. it's TOO BIG.
anyway, the picture about was taken about 2 weeks ago? i think.
i cant really remember. went for #Dovegofresh event at Lasalle school with my peeps.
it's to promote their new peach body shampoo. as you can see the package is in orange.
i'm using their product now. one thing i love about it, is the smell! the fragant! the smell of peach all over the bathroom :)
& yes it's refreshing.
well, the whole event was organised by ogilvy and dove, i believe. it was a nice event.
we were taught on "scrapbooking" on our small dove bottle.
papermarket were there to kinda help and guide us along.
the above picture shows our end product!
not that bad
:D
LEE MIN HO AT PLAZA SINGAPURA!
so today is a saturday, when most teens are going out and enjoying, me and my friends went home early from dhoby ghaut moaning. :(
well, the day started off well. met up with syaf, sean and loges at P.S.
Lee min ho was supposed to be there at Etude house by 4pm but he wasn't there!at about 4plus, the security personnels were shouting and screaming their lungs out to the HUGE, OVERWHELMING, NOISY, PUSHY, DEMANDING, AND SWEATY CROWD that their IDOL WILL NOT BE COMING.
"This event is cancelled! due to security reasons! your idol will not be coming out! i repeat, this event is cancelled! you will not be seeing your idol!"
Well, there goes all the hearts of the fans. broken into 10736232383643735473 pieces.
it can't be helped. but something was very suspicious about it.the security personnels were all smiling when announcing this HEARTBREAKING,SADDENING,BITTER, AGONIZING AND TRAGIC news.
at first,i thought, Well, why are you guys smiling? will you all resume after the crowds are gone?and then i thought, well, they cant be lying. they will definitely get a sour return if they proceed with the fan meeting after the crowd is a bit better. well, ETUDE PR better be ready!
so yeah, decided to move away from the crowd and the 4 of us went to eat.BBQ CHICKEN at cineleisure. yup, we walked from plaza sing. well, it was fun :)ps: since i changed the blog layout already, i shall blog more :D
hello!
Went to Yahoo Hq with my humans, seniors and ms kwa yesterday at suntec!
was a great experience i must say!
I like the place actually. i LOVVEEE the view from the office most!
omo^^^^^
yeppuda! :D
well, the main purpose of the whole thing was to introduce to us that Yahoo! will be launching a new homepage by early next year. the whole concept was indeed kinda cool to me!
with the new homepage, you can actually add as many favourites/bookmark a web with it. then it will appear on your yahoo homepage. with that, you can just click that fav/bookmark icon and yahoo will direct you to that website( but you;re still in your yahoo homepage!)
do you get it?
it's like rather than having multiple tabs to view whatever web you want, you can actually preview it on your yahoo homepage itself FIRST or just read from there itself. Cool huh?
somehow i'm excited! LOL.
looks cool. imagine viewing omonatheydidnt on that preview thing.
DAEBAK!
:D
ohh besides that, they were also telling us about this YOUREKA thingy. it's like a contest but not so much of a contest too. it's taking place both online and offline. well, the REAL CONTEST will be held offline at SINGAPORE FLYER on 28th nov, i think. prizes pretty amazing but, i dont really need a car or a blackberry or adidas shoes. LOL. does that interest you?
if it does, then you should go. haha.
i think you can check out about the offline contest on yahoo. just search it, youreka? singapore flyer? well, you know how to search for it yourself :p
anyway, the ONLINE "contest" is more like a lucky dip thingy? well, it like you just need to find red, green, blue or purple ticket to get some prizes from ADIDAS. well, this part is kinda attractive to me sooo I ACTUALLY WENT FOR IT! i mean, i DID THIS ONLINE YOUREKA! HAHA
it's luck lah,i think. they have like 392 icons on http://www.youreka.com.sg/ , so u try your luck, keep choosing the icon until you found yourself some red ticket or blue or whatver tix. then you follow the instruction or something, sometimes you need to find the ticket on some other web that they will direct you and then, if you're lucky enough, you'll get that adidas thingy!
it's easy and free! so just play around with it lah.
go get urself some prize! i got a red ticket but then something when wrong so i will do it again later.
:(
aigoo. well that;s it.
--------------
well, im currently lazy to do up my skin. yes, it's like 1/2 done. im just plain lazy to continue.
wait a while yeah? ahaha.
till then!
life is a bit hard right now.
not in my best mood either.
feel so sick sometimes.
sick of everything.
been at home for too long. holidays are killing me already.
i want school back. i miss sp alot.
ohwell, till then.
wait for my new template.
will be stopping for a while, coz im not in my best shape.
annyoung.
