Haven't been getting much sleep lately..
i am...so tired, but i'm afraid to go to sleep. there's so much to remember,and it hurts knowing it won't ever be the same again.
Well, all started when moi alan and i realised that jesze's suprise was waaayy behind schedule.
so we hurried to 1u, got videos of jin and sam *thanks babes* to put inside...
that was sunday..
so us being new movie makers wannabes...we idiotic-ly thought we could start editing the videos on the same day. However, my bro told us converting our videos to a format recognised by windows media movie maker would take like a whole freaking day.
so moi alan and i went to putrajaya to apply for my good conduct cert, went to leisure mall for lunchie...
came back..
and the farking files were still converting!!!
since i had to go work and had serious mental movie block..
we did attempt to choose songs and get a proper plot..
we left it for another day.
that was monday.
then tuesday freaking came...
due to other commitments..we did finally start work in the afternoon..
3 pm..
due to many out of control factors:
namely...
a) crappy freaking buggy windows movie maker kept on crashing and everytime it happened we had to start from where we saved. in the end, we resorted to saving every 5 minutes..bleh..
b) because the clips were really fragmented we didn't have ANY plot ideas. so basically, we were just making it up as we went along..
c) cutting songs,choosing pictures and videos,editing videos...timing timing timing...
d) recording our voices and making good animation, plus a brief sojourn to microsoft paint
alan and i were getting pretty demoralised after mmmmm 4 hours of staring in front of the computer and numerous crashes..we only managed to do 12 minutes of the whole video..
wakakaka..at 1am we had to bid moi alan goodbye. thank god for my brother...
who just so happened to dedicate the whole day helping moi alan and i use the "idiot proof" windows movie maker.
the picture of benevolence
finally FINALLY finished the movie at 3 am...
so the only thing to do was to pray that the video would convert to wmp.(apparently there's like an 80% failure rate*what you get when you use the cheapest movie maker programme around*..which meant that we'd have to do everything AGAIN..from scratch...so at three am, in front of the computer, he and i were literally praying *heads lowered hands clasped* for this video to be part of the 20%.
wakakaka.....
so happy...
but then we had to wake up at 5 to check see if it really did convert..
that was *is* wednesday...
woke up at 8.30 in time to see my bro start converting *AGAIN* the movie into an avi format(where you can play movies on tv)
thought we could happily show the video by twelve.
stupid stupid....
1.5 hours and it was only 20% completed..
so frustrating...i was damn near about to scream...
nevermind, went to jesze house for a lunch
mmmm...someone's missing..
after numerous games...
you name it, we played it..
the animal , lying ,donkey, robber and thief game..
alan, june and i rushed back to kajang to get the file..
which we then had to burn in a cd.
which failed twice. and every attempt took like about a half hour.
by that time, we switched to plan b, which was to just show her on the lap top.
my luck is so freaking suey now..
even with the really soft sound and the tiny screen..
it was worth it...
wakakaka...i've never seen jesze cry like that before..
then i've never seen me like that before ..bleh..honestly, the tears couldn't stop, no matter how much i wanted/needed it too..
bleh....i'm gonna be such a mess tommorrow...^_^
wishing i could be like june...=D
