How long has it been?
So sorry for not updating for the past month.
was really really really busy with assignments and projects.
So,
umm where to start?
ok with assignments first,
first subject,
MORAL STUDIES.
was really bumped finding out my midterm exam score was a 7.6 out of 20,
2nd lowest in class.
all my friends help me to ask the lecturer to recheck,
because there's actually no way my marks will be that low.
first, i've double checked i didnt shade the wrong answer.
second, i've studied for the exam,
and even if i dont get a high score,
at least, at least i'll get half correct (10marks).
The lecturer told me that she will help me to recheck my marks,
but i dont know how it turned out.
As for my final exam though,
didnt really study for it bcz i was too busy for other assignments.
Moral was one of the subjects i aimed to get A this sem,
i guess it might turn out to be the worst subject this sem.
next, it's Visual Fundamentals.
posted so many portrait drawings on instagram,
showing my progress and (hopefully) my improvement,
the lecturer told me that i've improved a lot,
and is one of the most improved in the class.
was really flattered to hear that.
but the highest grade i got for the portrait assignments,
was only a B+. (sad)
But to compare with the others,
the best in class only got an A-,
and i'm considered in the front pack.
so i guess i'm doing fine.
For visual drawing though,
which require us to draw a scene with figures and perspective,
i'm not really good at that,
scores are average and grades are B.
but i think it's okay,
as long as i maintain getting Bs.
well next is Advertising Principles,
which is the subject i hate most.
we need to create an advertising campaign,
selling a product,
that i dont even know before we attend the class.
we need to do surveys,
proposals,
lots of refinement on proposals,
then ideas on the ad campaigns,
then print ads,
TVC storyboards,
radio ads,
ambient medias.
GOSHHH.
was in a group with mary,
and seriously our presentation sucks.
We were so unprepared,
not just us,
every group was unprepared.
it was the worst presentation ever, for me.
Had no script at all,
never rehearsed at all,
still refining our presentation slides 1 minute before the presentation.
BUTTT,
we still got 3rd place out of 10 groups for the presentation,,
so do imagine how bad we all presented.
next is Digital Photography,
which i'm most pleased.
Photography is one of my fav subjects,
and i've put so much effort into it.
but i'm only gonna show you my final 2 works.
the first one is our final group assignment,
which is Fashion Photography.
Our group didn't do well in the previous group assignments,
so as the group leader,
i kinda changed my strategy for the final shoot.
Previously,
everyone gave too much opinions,
so we turned out to be very lost.
but this time,
after we set a concept,
i suggested the "DOLL" idea,
and we just went with it.
This is the final group assignment,
but we had only one week to do it,
we had class on tuesday,
and for previous group assignments,
we would have a week for preparation,
and shoot on the following tuesday during class,
and submit on the 3rd tuesday.
but for this final group assignment,
we only had one week.
after the brief on tuesday,
we had to do all the preparations,
and book the studio or find a location to shoot within that week,
which is crazy,
because we had so many other assignments going on as well.
The day before the shoot,
preparation went chaotic,
we couldn't decide anything.
but on the day of the photoshoot,
i kinda take charge of everything.
i told them how to set up,
i instructed the make up,
i set the lighting,
i was the photographer as well.
and it turned out to be smoother than previous assignments.
so the moral story was,
if there're a few members that have lots of opinions,
yes, you can voice out the opinions,
but in the end,
there should be a person who decides everything.
and the result turned out to be surprisingly well,
got a 4.5 out of 5.
For my final project,
my topic was NEGATIVE SPACE.
FYI, negative space is the space around the focused subject.
and i kinda play around with the negative space.
During presentation day,
i didnt prepare for what i was going to say,
so i kinda just throw out whatever was on my mind.
after my presentation,
it was Q&A session from the classmates.
After Q&A,
it was the lecturer's turn to give comments.
i was really really scared,
because the classmates that presented before me,
got comments from the lecturer like,
"This is horrible."
"I don't like this."
so i was so worried that i will get feedbacks like that too.
then the lecturer finally spoked,
"I have only a few words for you."
.........
....
.

"I LIKE YOUR WORK."
what
the
helllll?????
OMGG i was so damn happy.
and he kept on saying,
"A great photographer will wait and capture perfection.
and zunyip did that."
I was like: WHUUUTTTT????
so so so happy.
ok anyway,
after everyone presented,
the lecturer asked us to wait outside,
so he can mark our work and give us our scores on the spot.
i was so damn nervous.
Summing up our individual assignments and group assignments,
me, samantha(top student) and burger(very talented student in photography),
scored 38 out of 50%,
highest in class,
but there were 37s, 36s, 35.5s, 35s,
all the marks were close.
But of course there were people who only scored 23, 24.
but anyway,
we were all guessing who will get the highest score.
and everyone pointed at me,
because my comments were the best (being perasan),
but yea it's true,
everyone else have critiques.
so i was really hoping out of 40% of the final project,
i can at least get a 32%.
oh yea and the remaining 10% is professional practice,
which involves attendance, punctuality, interaction in class and stuff like that.
so finally the scores are in,
my professional practice was a 9 out of 10%.
and my final project,
i got 34!!!!
4 categories:
technique- 9 /10%
creativity- 9/10%
finishing&presentation- 9/10%
weeklyprogress&development-7/10%
i only got a 7 for weekly progress because i changed my concept at the very last minute,
so i didnt show much progress and development,
but if i do,
i might even get more than 34!
but i'm really really happy with my results,
because i scored the highest in class!
81marks.
A-!!!! (4.0gpa *chaching*)
samantha (80.5)
burger (79.5)
both of them got A- too.
okay,
last and final subject,
Typography.
Don't wanna talk much about the earlier assignments.
Our final project was to creative a leaflet,
based on a typographer chosen,
and a font that typographer created.
so i chose Paul Renner and the font FUTURA.
The day before submission,
i went to the printing shop to print with my friends,
we went in around 3pm,
and they finished around 3.30pm,
because basically their leaflet design was much easier to print,
and it's very small,
so they don't have to combine it.
Mine was quite long,
so i had to do extra work.
Failed 4 times,
and the when i finished the 5th one,
i realized it was already 8pm.
5 hours in the printing shop,
kept on failing.
imagine how frustrated i was.
Even the manager of the shop came to ask me to redo a smaller version of the leaflet.
But the quote Never Give Up paid off,
and during the day of submission,
the lecturer told us she will choose the best 9 leaflets and to put into archive.
and i was one of the top 9.
phew~.
The 2 subjects i like the most,
and i think 2 of my strongest subjects,
photography and typography,
i think i did well. (i hope)
oh yea by the way,
for typography,
2 students from our class failed,
and they won't be joining us next sem.
They will be joining the may intake badge.
It was really shocking,
but the lecturer told us it was normal,
every badge,
there're people who fail this subject.
some even failed 3 times.
and the lecturer also told us we will face a lecturer next sem,
also teaching typography,
he once only let 3 out of 20 students passed that subject,
the rest failed.
OMFG.
so it's not weird seeing half of the class get flushed off next sem.
hopefully it won't.
*fingers crossed*
Okay,
so that's basically all for my assignments and subjects this semester.
now,
what else to talk about for this comeback post?
well alright,
you guys might have noticed,
recently i often post pictures of a group of 4,
me, 2 guys and 1 girl.
the girl is mary,
and the guys are burger and worm.
okay.
stop laughing.
i know they have funny names lol.
worm and mary are a newly couple.
*congratss*
yea basically me and mary kinda join these 2 guys more often recently,
because idk,
i felt comfortable being around them.
but we're still close with the other classmates,
but yea we kinda hang out more often with the guys.
and some of you might noticed,
i sometimes tend to be abit emo.
on twitter especially.
idk why,
maybe the stress is getting to me.
really wanna try to be able to control the stress.
but to think that from next sem onwards,
it'll be hardcore sleepless nights,
stress started piling up automatically.
our seniors told us to really enjoy this sem break,
because next sem will be a killer 3 and a half months.
:(
and oh yea,
still single,
maybe not quite available,
because of all the assignments going on,
i dont wanna neglect my future gf.
lol #wtfamitalkingabout
but yea feel free to recommend someone for me.
pretty dried up right here.
and luckily no family issues lately.
i guess my parents are very considerate,
and yea i dont have to do housework HAHA,
cause they know i have lots of assignments.
yea my mom will like bring me milo once in awhile,
or talk to me when i'm upset.
so i feel like they're indirectly motivating me,
and giving me a push when i'm about to fall everytime.
and i really missed my high school friends.
it's KB's carnival tomorrow.
finally,
get to go back to the school,
although it's gonna be hot and sweaty and crowded,
but i really missed that feeling.
2 years ago,
we were rushing for the preparation of the tent at cshen's house.
and had so much fun.
missed the old days.
but yay,
get to see the old faces tomorrow.
:D
okay ngpuikhay,
if this is not long enough,
i dont know what's long in definition ady okayy.
cshen,
system updated lahhh kayyy.
:)
