Dunno wat day is today.... haizz

Was puzzled and taken abacked the whole day....

#1
2 weeks ago i was approached by a man during the Fireworks festival saying that he might be interested in my photography services for his nephew's wedding.. yesterday I informed him of my charges and he said that he will ask his nephew if the price was right... this is when the puzzling thing came about..he suddenly asked if he could borrow $50/- from me.. ..now thats the thing that has been bothering me since yesterday.. Dude, we barely know each other and we aint relative... why the cheek to ask from me, a total stranger some money....?? well you are here requesting some photography services from me and you are asking me for some money? Err Im worried about my service payment if your nephew decide to engage my services. Its not that im out of range here.. but DUDE,.. you are setting the wrong impression of yourself...

Went for my M3 module yesterday at NIE... "New media studies" was very excited about this course and what to expect.... but it came to a dissapointment in the end.
I already missed out the first lesson last week coz of my reservist, so there I was very "blur" to the whole thing.... but nevertheless it was conducted in the MAC Lab, a very familar place to me... (where the trainee art teachers spent hours in the lab with our $5K G4Macs doing like photoshop, soundforge, imovie, studio editing etc)...

well i was in dreamland when he showed a 40min video about how computer graphics evolved... kinda boring but pretty useful. But the lesson was it.. thats all.. the rest of the time... he(the Myanmar lecturer-i think) just said that
we r supposed to come up with a photo montage about any topic by the end of the module and create some sequence using flash or imovie etc... thats it...
he did not teach us the concepts.. how tos.... or any lingos... I asked him the course requirements... but he laughed at me creating a "lame answer" -which i dun understand of course.... well i figured things out asking my other classmates.. I did my own stuff on the Photoshop, luckily i brought my trusty digicam and card reader... at least I have some images ready on hand....
most of the time i was helping out other teachers deal with the PS lingos and steps.
Well... its a kinda relaxed module but i think we are here to learn new things. But than again i cant argue coz this is part of my module and i guess i'll make do with you. But I'm glad that Im here at NIE to relive my NIE days with my beloved colleagues, ..good to see you guys again....

Looking forward to my Weds and Thurs..
