The first class I had was pre-production in C11, I was 5 minutes late for the class yet the lecturer hasn't started the lesson, some people were at the front busy marking their names when I got in. I was told by Seri that Kael needed to wait for his delivery so he didn't come AIT today. Today, we were given some examples for how to create a good storyboard even though you are not really a good artist, subtle shots are still able to get you a good mark regardless how bad you draw. Well, of course stick figures are not acceptable at this stage lol I've taken some pictures of those examples and learned some compositions from my friends during the lecture. During our break, Seri asked me to play that quiz game app on his phone, he selected the field of history to compete with other players and I lost his 50 credits for 3 games at the end as I expected lool Anyways a guy who sat in front of me shouted everyone around him some gummy snakes, I asked him if I could get two when it was my turn to take one, Seri then called me greedy dinosaur >.> Unlike everyone, I even chose the colour because red snakes were all on the top>.> and that caused Seri once again called me picky dinosaur>.> And yes Seri...I do remember I owe you two milk tea...I just don't know what flavour you want =3=
My cute little Tia and her friend Gino were sitting next to me during digital images class. They have recorded the whole process with their phones when Helen was teaching us how to change the background in her way. For any technical reasons, students like us wanted to achieve exactly the same result as what Helen did otherwise she wouldn't accept our work. I heard that she's a strict marker and that she expects us to follow her method to solve problems. I remember what Pai taught me some shortcuts last time so today, I tried to teach Tia what was the easiest way to fill in the colour after she selected an enclosed area. In the second hour, I was with Gino thinking about what to do next by watching the video he just recorded. Tia then asked me to help her to cancel a task because it made her photoshop lag for more than 10 minutes, I then clicked task manager to remove that task on her window...Right after I clicked that, her screen went black, there was only the cursor existed on her desktop. And the point is she hasn't even saved her work, where did all her stuff go? =3= I felt extremely sorry as I screwed up her thing when I was initially trying to help her out >.> Lucky that Gino knew what problem that is, another computer pro helped her to retrieve everything...After digital images class, Tia left her stuff on the seat and asked me to look after it as she would be back in 10 minutes. Without having my half an hour break before the next class started, I stayed at the same room this whole time talking to my new friend emmanuel or whatever. I was supposed to finish that tutorial task in the beginning but I got stuck at one step where I forgot what to do after you use square tool to refine the hair, he was the only one there sitting at the same row as me, a few seats away from me. I went up to him and asked if he could help me. He didn't know what to do either so instead of that, we started talking a lot about something unnecessary, such as his painful experience at AIT. He failed this course last year, so this is the second time he does this course. I didn't feel like he wanted to end the conversation, so I didn't get back to my work for the remaining 20 minutes as I should. He then moved next to me, and we both continued to discuss the tasks we did previously, as well as the tutorials we both had some problems with. I remember he was the one sitting next to me last week when there were only him and I stayed after we finished our class, yet we didn't talk at all that day. Btw He said how fast Helen teaches, another guy from the other row joined our conversation shouting how unsatisfied he feels about Helen. You know how much you feel belonged when people agree with you. I have been thinking that I was the only one feeling this way- Helen teaches too fast. Even Tia, who just came back from somewhere saying how fast track this course is.
My last class was extremely fun because basically our task for today was to construct an 8 panels of storyboard based on a script. I soon finished mine, Pai then asked me to explain all the components she needs for a storyboard. I took a photo to show her what a tilted angle is and what effect it usually bring to a horror movie to reflect the distortion of one's mind etc. After explaining to Pai, Tia needed me to explain it to her as well. We both sat on the floor, read the script together and finally, I suggested her what kind of shots she should put in in order to generate with more filmic values. As the lecturer has mentioned in the morning, subtle changes are essential between two panels, as in they may look the same with most of the identical components, but a tiny bit of difference can still make a change such as the distance which is adjustable. I seriously do like this class after you are almost friend with everyone here. After Tia went back to her seat, Carson, the new friend I made last week came to me as well and asking me to show him what I got here. His drawing was good except that his idea is not really in depth when his shot is more of a scene. Anyways, Ashburn was two seats away from me, watching his anime-Titan as if he isolated himself from anyone around him>.> I poked him at the back, he took off his earphones, I was like 'HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY' (Yesterday was his birthday lol) Knowing that he only just turned 20, I said something like kids these days>.> And yup, he guessed it wrong, he is one of them who also thinks that I'm only 18>.> Btw I like his hat, I even put it on me and took a selfie O3O Oh yeah, I was quite surprised when Mickey, the one who does something else in the class most of the time, finished his work quietly today. He said to me 'I'm making a change', I was looking at him like o3o and patting him on the shoulder, said 'I hope so...I'm just wondering who has inspired you :3' Several people stayed after the class, Pai, undeniably is the one always being so dedicated to her work. My cutie friend Tia was there waiting for her friend, the guy I knew from Anthony. They were both going to have dinner together and I asked if I could join. But then the next second, I sneakily looked at her and asked if they were a couple xD She shook her head saying NOO WAY.... I kept teasing her that I didn't want to be the lightbulb x3 Oh and Ashburn also stayed there for a bit. We got to know each other more after the class as he started talking to me about animes though I had no idea how to respond, soon we shifted to uni life when he mentioned that he was also studying in Macq before, but dropped out after one semester as he found out that studying for history wasn't something relatable to what he thought it would be. In the meantime I saw my new friend Emmanuel walked in. I didn't expect to see him again after digital images class so I was a bit excited asking how he went with his tasks we did today. I think I've been quite active and talkative today as you can see....Even after Ashburn left, Emmanuel started to work on his work, I thought that I could finally get back to what I was supposed to do-my unfinished tut task. 20 minutes later, Anthony fb me somehow 'I can see you lool'. I didn't really see his message until he approached and greeted me. Yes, I couldn't even recognise his face and pretty much this was the second time I talked to him after he helped me out 6 weeks ago. Instead of seeing him in person, most of the time we contact each other on fb. I only realised that he's damn tall =3= Ok...this wasn't the point lol But yeah, he said that 'I thought we were friends..' when I couldn't tell it was him >.> Some casual talk and I told him about something that he wanted to know, he also helped me a bit for my task...
My day has been great interacting with so many people. And I guess that it wasn't the end after I left AIT. Even my fatty sent me a long message asking not to forget to celebrate with mum this coming Sunday. Mother's day now is more of a mission for me to accomplish. This is how much I feel for our family, geographical separation pulls us even closer when we still care for each other a lot, a lot more than we know. Mum has already received some gifts from her friend who sent her a happy mother's day song on wechat. I see how much she loves to use wechat and how much happier she has become since she started not to be anti-social. Oh and I didn't do much tonight except that I have been busy talking to Seri and Michelle (my lovely Korean friend that I like the most in uni). Seri has been my great brother for so long. Other than his need for milk tea LOL we did talk about variety of things even something I don't tend to tell anyone else but him, he understands me so well and he does think of me as his sister telling me what to do is the best. If you don't know his age, now I'm telling you that he's only turning 18 this year but his maturity is like a 23-year-old guy. I may see lots of people as kids whoever is younger than me, but he's the exception. According to how he acts and the way he comforts me, our brotherhood is way stronger than we think. Sometimes one's friendship is not confined to how much happiness you have with this person but how well he understands you and knows what good suggestions are to what you're struggling with. Ok another friend I need to mention is Michelle, the one cares about how I go with my new course at AIT. I, myself didn't even remember I've talked to her about this, and she seriously remembers it. What I'm saying here is the fact that you know who you should cherish for, worth your time to be with when that person remembers little but important details about you. She's one of those people showing sincerity when she talks, she looks into your eyes and listens to your story. Anyways we talked for two hours on fb. You know, friend's talk, usually about our recent life, uni as hell, how we go with family etc. There was one thing she said was, how creative and decorative I am in her eyes. There was only a few people ever described me as creative and they are all the ones I am closest with, Michelle is one of them. I'm glad that I talked to Seri and Michelle tonight :)
Lastly...the cheerfulness I have for my day has made me a clingy person as well. Panpan and I talked damn sweet tonight. Oh and he told me he'd purchase the car at the end of this year because he's waiting for the price to drop. Ahhh....bb has even made me even happier by posting something on our event page and wishing me a happy happy 16th monthsary le x3 Thank you bb for remembering it, we'll soon have our day to do something special :3 *hugs*
Oh god....8th of May...too happy today.... :3
