First Lesson...

Entering into a coldzzz room that I felt home.. CMS where I always have screening, practical lessons.

I was really excited to know who will be going to the trip with me from other major department and of course wanting to know who is in my group for the trip itself. 

First lesson is always getting to know each other, briefing about what is expected for this trip, doing up some administrative stuff and receiving a short introduction of Myanmar. 

During the Greet & Sharing session, I was really shocked that this trip maybe the last trip for the module IDP. Indeed, a rare chance to be part of this special team of people to go on a trip to Mandalay, Myanmar to know more about their culture and tradition especially on Puppetry.

Of course watched a few example of Documentaries from youtube and past senior work that they went to Cambodia for a documentary during 2012.  

Getting into group to breakdown of what we going to do before next lesson starts. Mainly will be research on General Knowledge and what is Myanmar Puppetry. 


I always love the quotes from Singapore First Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew. 
He words just inspire me a lot. 

Excitement Before Everything Starts!

Ringgggggggg....... Received a text from Mr Matthew on 13 May 2015! Asking me if I'm interested in going for IDP trip to Myanmar on a documentary shoot. First thing that strike my mind was.. "Woah! An overseas trip with my course mates. Further more, it's to Myanmar when I didn't being there before. Finally, I'm able to go on a trip to do something related to my studies in Screen Media and of course to explore and learn the culture, tradition of Myanmar during the trip."

I was so excited and further asked more question regarding the trip. My dad was so supportive and approved of me going for this trip to Mandalay, Myanmar. 

So I registered online for my slots to be approve. Waited for almost a month till I received a text again. I was told there will be an interview on the 14 July 2015 to see if I'm qualify for the trip. 

First to be interviewed and was really nervous! It will always be.. 
What can you contribute to the team during the trip? Interesting question to answer. 

Ringgggg... Received another text on 15 July 2015 night. When I slide my phone and opened up the text. I was so happy that I was selected to be in the list to Mandalay, Myanmar. I believed this trip will bring me to a greater height! 

Stay tuned for more updates.
