Video Drama

Its the weirdest feeling in the world seeing yourself in a video or hearing yourself on a recording!( I think i sound like a man on both) Recently i had the chance of experiencing acting in a human rights video, with some really talented actors. The two of us who were just the backdrops of the whole scene really were sooo out of our league. I had ONE line to say, and it was the most nerve-wrecking thing i had to do!lol, there were times when i was so focused on the other actors(they were so good and FUNNY!) that when it came to my cue, i just stood there like an idiot!!lol....it was really just quite different, never have i ever acted! But it was amazing fun! We all took turns on the camera(shooting), the pillow-throwing!!, the mic holding and the time score writing....to think that so much goes into such a short production!gosh, and after the master scene(taking the scene on the whole with everyone int he frame), there was the close-ups, at one point they even did a close-up on our hands!!hehehehe, that was the most conscious I've felt of my hands, i made sure i positioned my watch so the crack on the glass would not show and the nicer, brighter part of my strap was facing the camera!(it looked great int he brief time our hands were shown int he video) then the editing! After being edited and all that, very little of our hands were there, but a friend of mine impressively clearly saw that brief part...so that worked out good! I think we were there from 7pm to about 12am...shooting and cleaning up after and setting it up and all.

Actors, people in the arts are..interesting. Liberal, about everything and anything, no comments were INAPPROPRIATE or WRONG, everything that came to mind were just said, really quite a breath of fresh air, well if only i was more like THAT. I do say whats on my mind, but errr...half of the things that were on their mind are almost rarely on mine. Mostly, sex or some variation of it. Lol, had a friend that told me "almost everyone in the liberal arts are so sexually liberal, except you geetha" hehehe, it was a different kind of conversation to be apart of. But ti was so much fun working with these professional actors, all so down to earth and with amazing stories. All of them were actors that were involved in more comedic plays, so the video was obviously funny! But yeah, just listening to how it all got started for them and the risks they take in actually pursuing the career. Wow! I probably wouldn't have the guts to do it if i wanted to, without something to fall back to. And well, ONE line in a short video doesn't exactly scream stardom anyway!I hope i get to do it again sometime, one lines!lol...the simplest most rewarding thing in life!

Cringes when watching....

Jumble Fiesta!

A good book makes so much of difference! I was reading Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie, and it lasted a whole semester!!to get me to finish it, and the amount of torture i endured from my classmates of holding the same book in my hand. I finally finished it!And it was such a disappointment!urgh seriously....!Now I've finally started a new book (much to the excitement of my classmates) by zadie smith, on beauty..and its amazing how fast I'm making my way through it. ITs only been a few days and already I'm almost halfway through the book!and so far its been so much fun! I dint mind reading my books reeeeaaallllyyy sloooww cause i only get to read it on the bus or train to college. And since i hardly get to sit in the train, well its reduced to the 25minutes ride on the bus. Oooh Hannah has recommended Twilight,so that's something in the future!hehehe

Jumbles Sales!hehehe...never knew i loved them so much till i volunteered at a charity event here on Sunday!It was amazing fun!!the coupons, the shouting, the HEAT, the sweating, the EVERYONE!hehehe, one good thing about being apart of a charity organisation or any organisation for that matter, is that you're apart of this whole big community and everyone knows everyone. In the carnival, i hardly knew some people and i probably would not start such an elaborate conversation with any of them on normal circumstances but there was just something in the air i suppose,everyone spoke like we've known each other for a hundred years!and the "oh no its ok its ok, I'll help you do it!" lol, don't think I'm even that nice at home! (all you haters going : charity starts at HOME!I'm sure..)

So it's a nice feeling i gotta admit, being a part of a charity thing then a human rights thing, just wished i was had a better sense of time-management! It's either I get toooo involved in this and my studies go down the drain or tooo involved in studies(AHHHAAKK!) and this well gets a little backdated!...but right now, tings are going pretty well..business level not at its peak, just moderate..the way i like it, have a REALLY bad feeling things are coming crashing down in a few weeks!just cause I'm liking the world and college(so many days off!) so much right now!

Ohhh, moment of the WEEKEND : Bought a punjabi suit for 3 ringgit, or well 3 coupon money!heheheh...woohoo!!

Bye Bye Happiness

My finals just ended on Tuesday...and the whole week we've all had to be in college and tomoro, tuesday our new semester starts. Amazingness really.

So i've been trying to make my last day of "holiday" count, and by that i mean lazing around completely COMPLETELY as in wake up really early JUST to laze around,sitting in front of the TV the whole day watching movies and movies only getting up for the loo or food. Urgh im totally disgusting on these days. After this, i've got another movie to watch .

Its just so silly that my new semester is TOMORO!not that i would want to celebrate the end of the last semester(exams were bad) but well it wud just be nice to have a break! I've got load of friends who LIKE that craziness, that business till you dont have time to catch a breath, I am not that person! I need spacee, the more the better...i like getting involved in stuff but at the right time so i get to do it at my own pace and do it well without being rushed or pressured.

So yeah, laziness today and back to being tired and just so class-ed out tomoro. A few friends are back from abroad so that was a nice way to end the day, dinner with friends.

I know absolutely nothing to blog about today.

Realised that i use SO a lot and LIKE a lot and OK a lot,lol..oh and LOL a lot, have an email buddy who notices that too..heheheh..lol..so yeah!..LOL! oh and i rather type tomoro cause without the dictionary in my phone i think i would most likely spell it wrongly.

Oh oh my visiting lecturers that were down here a couple of days ago, said physiotherapist had horrible spelling, now i dont think im HORRIBLE but i can be pretty bad. Wow fact huh?

My sister got the job that she was hoping she would get for her chambering so thats a good thing. Bad thing is my house is cracking into bits and pieces and it gets worse everytime it rains and the developers are claiming not to be liable anymore since it started happening(been an on-going case for so long) after the first 7 liable years.Things are just saddening cause now there's the whole RENTING a new house and leaving our own house well just LEFT, to tumble and fall.The windows are actually slanting to a side and the glass has broken the ceiling is broken a little, the light is hanging on one side. My mom's room is an outdoor room now, cause there's a part of the wall where you can see through it into the street. I would post photos to add to the dramatic effect if i knew how...things dont seem to finish loading here.

Anywho, Pepper has moved in with us, well most nights anyway so it's a constant struggle to keep my room clean. Sweeping under the bed and mopping it ,for her. Impressive how she totally controls our lives , got us all wrapped around her cute little paw.Oh Peppy darling!

MY dog. Thats something i could blog about. Some other time some other post hopefully.

Now..... movie!

Tomoro...College begins!
