Something A lot Easier But Troublesome

On the same day, surprisingly, we were given another task as well. Madam FOziah refered it as an internet skill task but I could not figure out what it was until she showed us a few very interesting videos to us. The first video was not as interesting as the latter one. I honestly prefered the latter one for everything seemed to turn out so right to my taste. First, the song accompanied in the video was my favourite song. it was a korean song. This romantic song seemed to blend so well with the theme of the video. The video undobtedly made me more aware of my daily lives. I now found that our lives as a human in this world could be so interesting. This impact we had after watching the video proved that the video was a big success. I knew one of the producers who was our senior. He seemed to be so talented in this field but what a waste for he already paid the rm110k for he found that being a teacher was never a passion to him. Well, I wish him all the best in searching the right career for himself.

Honestly, after handling the video editting, the 78 of us worked so hard for this task. this task was a bit easier compared to the video editting task for it only involved two persons this time. This was because to discuss this task with two persons through yahoo messenger created less confusions compared to a group of five. Sadly, my partner who was the one who submitted the dvd last week on video editting faced much difficulty to serve the net. She had to wait for her father to come back late at night to bring her to the cyber cafe. I saw this a real trouble for her thus we had agreed to split the roles. I was to do the video and she would be doing the tutorial.

After that agreement, I started searching for suitable photos for our movie. This process was easy for we had already discussed on what to put in our video. Everything was done smoothly until the nightmare came. I faced difficulty in uploading our video in youtube. Since it was already 5am, I decided to try uploading it again the next morning.

The day with the worst nightmare came when I needed to sit in fornt of my laptop the whole day trying to upload the video again and again. I grew quite impatient at times but when i saw the posts sent by my coursemates saying that they managed to upload their videos gave me courage. At last by 6pm that evening, the upload was a success. Feeling too happy, I played it on youtube three times and headed straight for dinner. But when i was back to view it for the fourth time, the video was said to have been removed by the user. I was confused when this happened thus I asked around thorugh adec. Izzudin as well as Wai told me the same thing that since the same username and password were being used, people could delete each other's video. Having heard that, I was so frustrated for it was not easy at all to get to upload the video in youtube. Honestly, I coud not believe there was such selfish person who dared to take such an ugly move. Thus, I posted my frustration in adec and this was actually a thing that I was really regretful about. I was so emotional at that time and I wished I had not been so. To correct the mistake, I posted another adec apologising for my emotional post and I continued trying to upload the video again. After 3 hours had passed, the moment I waited finally came and my video was up again to be played in youtube.

I of course continued watching the video again and again to make sure that the video was not removed. But sadly, this time my video was said to be unavailable. My heart sank for I started feeling that all my effort had gone down to waste. My video was again unavailable and I felt sadder. I was in limbo not knowing what else i could do to amend this. At the same time, Wai was online too and I expressed my plight to her on Msn. She told me that she could view my video and I found this weird. Why couldn't I myself watch my own video when the others could watch it? Feeling too tired for bed, I asked Wai to check my video from time to time for me. Thankfully, she agreed to.

The next morning, to my relief I received a few text messages from my coursemates telling me that they could view my video and I should not be worried anymore. I was happier when Madam Foziah knew of my problem and she was considerate to 'pujuk' me back. All in all,I felt relieved but tired.
