Consolidation of a few entries
Hi fricky-darlins,
This, is a consolidation of a few entries, a neat modifcations and correction of things I wrote before. Some may argue that entries of a blog, like pages of a diary, should be left untouched as an unchanging impression of one's state of mind and moods. I believe that changes, in itself, is an entry in one's private memories and with that, I would like to move on to my next point.
1656, 19.06.2005. The Memory Project came to shocking finale. Our final process of rendering (compilation) of our hour-long movie was unable to be finalised due to random glitches in the Adobe Premiere as well as the sheer size of the movie. The team was shattered, most shattered. Our months of filming, week of individual sourcing , rendering and sorting, and our 3 days marathon of editting came to nothing. It seemes to obvious that all our work and efforts have been easilly brushed away by technincal forces we could not control. Our sacrifices for studying time, our spilt bood and sanity was so fragily swept away. But over a night of reflection with God, I came to realise something: The Memory Project was not a failure. There are a few who I would need to thank. Yang-shen thank you for taking the initative to direct this, Quang, Fiona and anyone else on the team,for your sacrifices and effort on this project. Thanks a bunch to MRC too for generously giving us access to their room and their TREASURED 3-gig computer for our attempted rendering. It may not have worked but thanks so much, not just for this but for everything. Without the MRC, Council would not have been able to achieve half of our events.
Its prime objective was to bring back the memories we had as a council. For team and for me, this was achieved. Through the tiny pixels across the screens of our laptops, I experienced our entire term all over again. For me, it was a success, for me, I felt the memories. Other than the team, everyone else too, relived the memories. Through our endless interviews, every single councillor have reflected what we have done and that alone is enough to not only relive the memories but validate them too. In my eyes, the Memory Project was a success. We all saw our achievements, ourselves unfolding to our full glory and most importantly, the presence of God's hand in all our lives.
But hopes for the movie is not over! As of last night, the team have explored the alternative of creating many mini movies and chapters on a DVD instead of a big movie. With God's hand, this would work. So to anyone who is reading this (especially councillors) please pray for Quang who is individually splitting our movie and Zhiguang and his DVD writer. To the Glory of God.
With this, I'll like to go over to my next point. The following in an exerpt from a certain friend's blog:
"everytime i hear my friend tell me abt some random out-of-the-blue guy that she hardly knows who has confessed his undying love for her i feel like slapping my forehead n saying "way to go man!"like seriously."
I have been thinking a lot recently. Of my life. My emotions. My heart. It has been a long painful journey but there is nothing to complain. My emotions are still the same as before and I shall no more elaborate and sugar-coat this fact. But you have other priorities in your life and with this, I shall disturb you no further, at least for the time being. For now, neither of us could afford this, so I'll do my best to see you as a friend. I may have no objective to court you, but know that I wait. I believe that time will speak more than words. So, there you go. Worry no more, Friend.
Another event that shaped my life is June Camp for the junior councillors. Some of you may be have noticed that despite my usual trigger-happy tendencies, I did not take any photos (except for some candid footages during the Ushering simulation when i was a camera). Just for starters, I did bring my camera but I have refrained from taking any shots. I believe that June camp is an experience that should be remembered not through photographs but the powerful emotions of bonding and triumph. We are passing the flame on to you guys and unlike our seniors, we are fully confident of the council's future. We had faith in you right from the start, and we were not mistaken. Juniors, I am proud of you guys.
I would be going to USA from Saturday all the way to the end of holidays. I hope that this would give me an escape from the turbulent life I had the past 2 months. I just hope to get some studying done.
