Spring Concert day 1

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

For some reason (that you shall not know about), I am cutting down on my personal posts! And also, I did something very stupid today. I accidentlly formated my memory stick on my camera deleting all photos from yesterday and today.

However, we did cover the spring concert:

So now I am back from Spring Concert day 1 and this post will summarize what we did wrong and right, what we thought we should do and what exactly happened.

After setting everything up in the Auditorium, we closed down two rows of chairs for concert audio recording purposes. However, we failed to manage the the row behind us meaning that people can sit and talk behind us. And people did. My friends, to be percise, Everything and FoM, they talked and talked and their conversation got recorded. Finally, after they are gone, more people wanted to sit beside us and there were even girls who wanted to sit between the tripods in the closed rows where our power plugs are located. We should have printed some signs saying “Row closed for recording”. Anyhow, the concert wasn’t pretty bad, even though there were minor mistakes made by the performers.

We did interviews at intermission, random people in the hallway kicked Kevin’s tripod shaking the whole scene. I interviewed Mr. Fleming at intermission, and Mr. Taylor after the concert. Please bare with me because I am not a good reporter/interviewer. Remember that I said the audio recording was messed up? Well, we always have a backup, and this time is to use the concert sound crew recording, meaning no talking from my friends. If there were this concert sound recording, those people behind are really in trouble.

The video will be coming within the next week and will be in widescreen (16:9). We’ll be providing song by song versions as usual and a full version. Why the long wait? Because we need to edit this and this usually takes a long time (really long).

Estimated size of video
Full: 1GB/ea
Song by song: 50MB/ea

At last, I want to thank our Camera Crew, Kevin, Leo, and Gibson for doing this. Good job guys.

I feel behind

I am beginning to blog more on the personal side. Anyway, today, I feel behind. Read more to find out. Duh!

Before school even started, I had a meeting with the principle about PG Forum. In the morning, I had English, which taught me nothing. So on to the second block. Ah, social studies, always fun. Leo and Rang was fighting first in social studies and it looks like this.

Mr. Mey gave back all the tests and said me and Wei got the second in the class. Well, Wei started ‘laughing’ at Nancy for not making the first. However, later we learned that she got the second and we got the third. After Mr. Mey assigned all the work, we went on chatting. Apparently, Rang had a orange that he wanted to eat.

And Wei drew on it (the outer surface). However, in the end, we ate it. Let’s hope we don’t get any highlighter chemicals into out body. I confirmed that more and more people are taking completion course this summer. Confirmed Rang, Nancy, and Wei is taking Math 10. Now, I feel behind. It seems like honor (or enriched) courses are not enough any more, the new goal is try to finish one grade in summer time; but shouldn’t you rest in summer?? Anyhow, we also learned that Nancy is going to Church hill secondary next year. Well, good luck in your upcoming year/future year!

Guess who this is.

Wei and Nancy started arguing as usual. Nancy told me to start a group in facebook dedicated to ‘killing’ Wei (hey, that’s the best way I can put it). Science wasn’t much fun, same old same old. And in IT, Alice drew more on my binder. And Natalie thanked me for helping with her 3d project.

Nice drawing. Pssst: I have to say that because they know my blog now. Natalie too.
Anyhow, I had to writing a ‘legal’ letter after I came home so after that, here I am, blogging.

Today started off like this. I barely had anything to do other than relaxing in the first block. (below, teacher+student from my first block)

I read few pages of my book and when the class was over, I met Tracie (you look very nice today). I also met Leo, who was also pretty cool today. Art in the second block wasn’t much different. For the most part, we fool around…

Then math. And at last PE. After school, I saw Tracie again. *surprise. /gorgeous/… and I also met Gibson, and Leo, and Rang. I tried to persuade to Gibson to come and help out in the afterschool vidcast but he refuses. Blah, blah, blah, we shot two episodes of filmtography – the vidcast, and finished one episode of your science guy podcast with Rang and released it on both the pocasting network site and the studio site.
