\\*HAPPY CNY!!!!*//

heh heh, been lazy pervious week so didn't post:B Anw, happy chinese new year guys:D Hope ur "harvest" is good this year:D:D

Recently, done quite a few A&B shooting, 3 elderly and 2 jams.

Overall, is tiring cos i'm the person doing all the shoot alone, but it is still funD

Just felt that many of us have different story behind our back, but we still need to continue to read our own book to continue living.

Some tried to burn the book
Some tried to forget the book.

But no matter what you do, this book won't catch fire or being ignore
as what ever you do, you are one of the main cast of the other book.

As for me, tried to forget some stories but can't, i guess. so might as well continue reading.

Been anchoring a workshop called "Talentz INC".
Wonderful experience as i really learn alot of what going on outside and the style of this industry outside. Even though I'm just a camera crew.

Felt that I'm really bless in such a way that many opportunities is given to me. Even though don't really think that i deserve it. Man, kinda low self esteem these days.

Anw, will continue to edit the video for the Five interviews. Hope that it will turn out well.

Ciao:D

\\*YEAR 2010!!!!!*//

Alrite guys, I'm intending to revive this blog once again this year since i didn't succeed last year. Opps:p
Anyway, this blog will not be anything related about my personal life anymore. Want to know more about me just ask me(:
When I walk home tonight and thinking about what happen last week, I just felt that I should share what I experience during my work to the net. So that many of your will know what actually happen in the poorer side of the world.
Alright, what I experience below is true. I have pictures of it. Don't want to post it cos, I'm kinda lazy. haha(:
anyway enjoy what you are going to read below(:
oya, do me a favor. Let others read this post as well if possible. I think it will help them understand reality as well(:(:

lets start...

Firstly, I would say that I'm quite a experience videographer. I done alot of wedding and events since 13.

But...

What i done last week, is really...

out of the world...

Friday, 22 jan 2010. I was ask to do a video of this old man whose house is about to go through a makeover by the volunteers of Ngee Ann Poly(thats where i wanted to go) He is a 78 years old man if I remembered clearly. Lets not say his name due to privacy. As always, I am not given enough facts about him, I and my producer only know that his house is infested by Bedbugs.
Truthfully, at that time I thought that is only a handful of bugs around but unfortunately...
I'm wrong...

Anyway, Me and my producer, jia hao, went up his house to shoot. When the old man open his door, I can sense that this person is something different. After introducing ourselves, we went in and began our work.
Jia Hao talk to the old man and I started filming . When I went in to his house, I can smell something odd. Difficult to explain, Simplest verb would be, smelly! It is a one- room flat, a room with a small kitchen and and toilet.
It is very obvious that it is not clean for a long long time. I saw alot of black dots on the wall and on the floor. The floor is very dirty, color is brown which originally is white. I shot different parts of the room including the dining tables that full of open food, butter. Two TVs that I think is spoiled(old man insisted that is working) a closet blah blah blah.
Everything looks bad if you were there, but all these is just the beginning until I came across this refrigerator.
I open it, guess what, a "wonderful" aroma of spoiled salted fish came out. The old man told us that is spoiled. No choice, I'm must shoot it. It's my job anyway(:

Next, I went into the kitchen. Just when I step in the kitchen, a bad urine and feces smell spread across the kitchen. As the toilet is link to the kitchen, all the smell is there. I just don't know how to explain it.
I took a few shots and when in to the laundry area. This is the place I nearly puke.
The smell just get worst.
I hold my breath and stand outside the toilet.
It is a 3 foot in width I think. and 11 foot in length and properly another 12 to 13 foot in depth.
Alright those that don't know what I'm talking, Basically, is just small that manage to stuff in a toilet bowl, a basin and no extra space to shower. Sometimes I wonder did he shower??

The floor is very dirty, cover with a lot of brown brown stuff. Don't really know what is that and don't really want to find out XD
Every shot I take I need to go to the living room, gasp a fresh air( not really fresh though cos the place is badly ventilate but is still "fresher") and went in to take another shot.

That is how bad the living condition of this man.

Finally, I'm able to get out his house until our interviewer come around 4 plus (in actual fact, she is my boss. And she came to stand in...wahahahah(:(: ).
Jia hao and I went to the nearest shop with our bags on our shoulder( remember this), get a drink and sat on a table and chair at the void deck and this is where the fun begins.
While I'm drinking my barley with my bag on my shoulder, jia hao shouted and say "WEIMING!!!! THERE IS BUGS ON OUR BAG!!!)
Seriously arh...i nearly fainted!!!! True enough, all our bags is infested with Bed Bugs. Spray a few round of baygon and my boss came. Rest of it is the interview. I'll jus say it in summary.

This is what he said:
-He has seven Children
-A wife call "cha bo" (means women in hokkien)
-Due to convenience he move out of his previous home as he is once a security guard.
-His children always come to see him
-Even bought a cake and bread for him before we came
-His wife went to take care of his grandchildren in sengkang( I think)

This is some of the things he said.

But...

What we know, is another story.

From what I know, is beem a very long time since he last saw his children
I beileve that the cake is molded as i saw dots in the cake. Maybe he found it somewhere I don't know.
It seems that when he is younger, he done something wrong thats why he left his house.

When I saw his finger with a ring, maybe is a wedding ring. I really wonder are they still in contact?
When my boss ask him, "Than when your sons and daughter came and visit you, what they do?"

No answer from him... Only tears came out...

After the shoot, I can't sleep the whole night thinking. Do he really deserve this?? Maybe God have his plan for him. I don't know. But what I can do now is to, help him with the video, I'll try with my best to produce a good video to at least help him.

This thursday will go to his house and interview him again.

Won't be posting of what the poly students done in the house but if thursday shoot went well...
I'll post what he said.

But during saturday 23 01 2010, I felt that I'm shortening my life. As there is two rounds of disinfecting the house with Baygon and I need to go with the helpers. Man is terrible.

But you know what??

This is the first time I felt that Baygon smell 5x better than the original smell of that house.

See you on the next post(:
