Shits happen

Shits happen..but never tot it would be this shitty. Malaysia's educational laws really sux! My group's movie assignment was having problem uploading our raw footage to any laptop or desktop, just simply bcoz we are using a HDV videocam, not the normal CCD videocam. The only solution we found out from a friend tat time is to find an APPLE and upload in it. What he told us was APPLE is the only device that are hi-tech enuff to read the HDV footage.

Time is gold. We are 48hours away from the deadline, of coz we try anything that would probably work, as long as we can pass up our assignment on time. So i called my fren to ask whether he know anyone using APPLE, it just so happened that his fren juz came back from Australia and is with him tat time. My fren's fren was kind enuff and agree to help us. It turns out that he's also a videostudent studying in RMIT. I see bright lights infront of me that moment. -_-

Anyway, he came the next day. But just right b4 half an hour he arrives, the videocam ran out of battery. One of my group's member had to drive all the way back from Damansara to The Mines to get his charger. Took him more than 1 and a half hour to come back with the charger and tat kind guy was waiting. Everything was fine then, i was so happy that finally i can start editting our movie after he uploads it in his APPLE. That's when my the other group member called and said :
" Ashley, XXX is coming over to help us to upload it. She said she will help us fix it."
FYI : XXX is the lecturer that gave us this assignment.

"Ok...."
How to say no right +_+

So XXX came after 10 mins and said that bcoz the HDV videocam dun haf a built-in converter to convert the HDV file to DV file...yada yada...i dun understand what's the terms she used at all...All i know is she said we need the converter, and its in her house. Then the kind guy said that we actually dun need the converter thingy, he's using the same videocam too. XXX gave him a look and continue yada yada...WTF~!!
XXX is that kind of person that cannot accept other ppl being smarter or better , and now its a student correcting what XXX said, lagi-lah tak boleh~!

So we let the guy upload our footage in his APPLE and start editting in his APPLE. First he was supposed to leave after helping us uploading it. But in the end, he stayed over until the next morning, just to help us with the editting also. Where to find a person that is so kind nowadays?? I don;t even know him in the 1st place, he is just my fren's fren.

So anyway, the yada yada thing happened in the afternoon. In the night, when i was halfway editting our movie, XXX called one of the member and said she's coming over to help a girl with her movie. So she will come and help us too. All those shits happened in the night. I never know someone that always said how profesional they are acting so childishly, fuckin immature!

XXX talked to the leader in our group, ask the leader to halau that kind guy home and ask us to edit in normal pc instead of APPLE. This movie assignment did not stated that we must edit in ADOBE PROMIERE PRO.
FYI: To edit a movie, normal pcs use ADOBE PREMIERE PRO ; APPLE
use FINAL CUT PRO. In my college, we learn edittin using ADOBE.
Back to that shit, just bcoz we are not followin what she said and doing what my fren's fren said, i think XXX felt offended and tak puas hati, as i've already said that XXX is those ppl that can't accept other ppl better than them. To balance up thing, my group leader agree to let her convert out raw footage into a format that is readable by the normal pcs. My group leader knew that XXX was unhappy about us and the APPLE guy. She did not want XXX to think that we are being unappreciative. So XXX and others left with our raw footage, they brought it home to help us convert it.

In the mean time, the person that told us to look for an APPLE to upload our stuffs, starts his shitty talkin. He said that why we did not stand up for XXX when that APPLE guy said this :
" This is full of shits arent? "
Apparently, he thinks that the APPLE guy meant that XXX is full of shits, Just based on his point of view, he jumped into his own sohai conclusion and start blaming us. Like a dog..puik! This shitter even called XXX and report about the " This is full of shits arent? " and make such a big fuss about it, telling things that weren't true and adding oil...I have never seen a guy so fucking kepohchi b4..It's like a woman caught in a man!!
XXX kononnyer so profesional, but im so disappointed when i found out that XXX believed what kepohchi said and got pissed by it. I thought profesionals are full of confidence, they will just listen and pretend what remarks ppl said as rubbish or bullshit if it's not true?? But not act like an immature adult, like asking us to "cheng" that APPLE guy balik rumah. As long as we can finish and hand up the assignment on time dahlah, why wanna bother whose instructions we listen to? It's not like we are not giving respect to XXX, it just so happens that i found the APPLE guy to help us first. We just want to finish our assignment without bothering our lecturer.

It's not all these only, there's more shits but im lazy to blog about it already. Im so sien of all these dramas that happened around me. If this happens at overseas, with 1 complain, we can just make the lecturers balik kampung tanam padi..
