Thinking Ahead

Oh my, oh my, just a blink of an eye and its already 2009. This time of the year, last year, i'm just a lazy guy, potatofying myself on the couch and surfing the net whole day and obtaining junk information. How much time changes a person.

I don't think i'm the same person as before. I'm more confident now. I am knowledgeable now. How much this course changed me from the person i was before. I have a vision and goals to support my dreams in the future. I have set plenty of goals and some of it have been accomplished and some not. In the year 2009, me, and my team will set goals that we will try our best to materialise.

In UMP, we believe, anything is possible and we always can do it. Nobody has gained success in their first try, and so do us, but we will keep chasing it until we manage to fulfill our objective target. We just want to modernise the art of film and keep everyone happy. Though some might not be happy with us, we are happy to provide you the best in our videos to portray our nation as a leading video producer in the future.

Some of our goals this year are:

1. Producing better quality videos with more creative ideas
2. Earning incomes to expand our production
3. Buying the Canon XL-2
4. Obtaining all production equipments, such as lighting, boom mic, etc.
5. Win a film festival competition
6. Recognised by everyone as a fresh and upcoming production
7. Recruit more members in our team
8. Being happy in everything we do, and have passion in it. (100% passion)

For the next 5 years:

1. Become a young, multi- millionaire production
2. Be young millionaires without debt
3. Our works being published worldwide
4. Winning Best Picture in Cannes International Film Festival, recognised as The Best Asian Film in Academy Awards
5. Opening a Videography School specially for yound talents with passion in videography
6. Travel to at least 5 out of 6 continents in the world
7. The most important thing is to be what i plan to be and have a hobby as a colourful career.

This is a rough outline for my vision, and same goes to my mates who will fight hard to make all our dreams possible. It may not look convincing at first sight, but as time goes on, it will materialised. We are not afraid to be the best. We are constantly labelled as ego, arrogant, and emo. Well, then maybe Donald Trump is ego, Tun Mahathir is arrogant, but look where they are now and look back at yourself.

We are doing something for our future and are happy with it. Do support us if you share the same belief as us, have the same vision as us, that is to take Malaysia to the international stage as a leading , modern country.

Love, Raffi.
A person who will chase success regardless the situation.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR...

TO ALL UMP'S SUPPORTER,
WE WANT TO WISH YOU ALL,

MERRY CHRISTMAS
&
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009.

WISH YOU ALL GOOD LUCK!

HOHOHO,
ROY

New Montage

This is the new montage (not really new), after editing, a few flaws here and there, though we do admit, our storyline is quite dull, but at least we gave a lot of effort in producing this video. We believe we have a lot to learn, but at least we are willing to learn and improve from our mistakes. We are trying to be one professional team to instill creative ideas to everyone. Its the thought and effort that counts. Though not much of editing, we did shorten the whole thing and add some new effects into it. We also credited Azima in this one, since we forgot to put her name in it :D So, please give your comments in the comment box. Thanks.

Raffi.

A Word of Two From,

2nd Phase.

What a semester. This semester marks the 2^nd term of our 3 semester Foundation in Communication. This semester was filled with love and joy, some arguments, and also misunderstanding. We cannot be perfect every time, well, we just can’t be perfect because no one is perfect. This semester started quite brightly for us. We were quite anxious and worried about the prospect of having 5 subjects cramped into just one semester ! That’s fearful. Before we summarise everything single subject that we had gone from side to side and end to end, we would like to thank our lecturers and classmates for the supports and contributions to us. You guys are the best ! Thanks for being by our side when we needed you. You guys will be in our minds through the course of our voyage of this exceptional life.

So, I think the first lecture we got is most probably from ECS 2. ECS 2 was not a particularly great deal of difference from last sem’s ECS 1. Ms. Azizah was particularly soft spoken and kind though she could be strict in an instant. It is very much the same and organizing events are part of it, AGAIN. We had anticipated more fights and arguments between the people in the class. Though me, Fadzli and Roy were in the board of directors, I quit the post soon after because of some reason that I thought was credible and honest. We had this Them Kids event on track, though with flaws along the road, the event went on eventually. I personally feel that maybe a class event doesn’t suit us as much as we are a big group. Though everyone needs to contribute something so that your marks won’t be deducted !

Moving on to the next subject, Islamic Studies and Moral Studies. Islamic Studies (IS) was fun and unique, though the notes could be better. It is full of context and contents to build our mental and spirit. It was a fun experience and cool because there is only one assignment ! That paved way for more free time for us. Moral Studies though, according to the students, was chilling and relaxing, due to the kind-hearted lecturer they had. Though they had more assignments than the IS students, their assignments managed to instill more moral into their dilapidated brain. Both the lecturers for this LAN subject were basically cool and calm and also kind hearted.

For IT, we had Mr. Anan who is a great lecturer and his notes are fantastically great. Having the knowledge in IT helped us a lot in completing assignments with ease. The theory was quite fun, though sometimes boring, but it really teaches us a whole some of this subject, and the technology of the world. The assignments were helpful, and now we know how to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access efficiently. Thanks for your help Mr. Anan.

Economics is a way of life; you are right Mr. David Chong. He’s highly passionate in teaching us, and he has a cool head and has not lost any temper even once. Economics is a very interesting subject; it’s a great knowledge for us to know the importance of it in our daily lives, the opportunity cost and stuffs. I think I will miss David Chong a lot and how could we forget to mention Ms. Natasha, of course we will miss her ! Ms. Natasha is the best lecturer we’ve had so far. She is fresh, has a great vision and has a great sense of heart. Not to forget she appreciates every student’s contribution. Her MMH subject is more on the knowledge base but she managed to change this whole education system to a simple and fun way of learning about history and its facts. In the end, we managed to cope up with this subject in style. She was also the one who recognized our talents and showcase it in the SOC Media Carnival 2008.

We really know that our passion is film production and now a priority for every one of us now. To me, despite all the fights and conflicts, in the end, we are still a group, why should we fight and hate each other when love is an option ? Reflect on this mates ! We have nothing against anyone and we are just doing our job. Thanks for making this semester the finest and maybe one of the most dramatic. More to expect from the 3rd and Final Semester !

Love, Raffi.

Missing

This is a project from the students of UniSA. I certainly find this video very mysterious, with curiosity filling my body, and not to mention the creepy music which makes it even more intense and this music video is a great work !
We hope to learn more of your concepts, seniors... Love your work.

Positive Thinker and Negative Thinker

It has almost been one year since i have been a photographer, working with Green Apple occasionally. Many types of people have i met, different personalities that made me who I am today. People say that gossips are normal within a community, and i do agree to that statement. What does gossips have to do with us ? These gossips, when we receive them, we feel angry, sometimes funny, and i mean very funny.

To be honest, people tend to think negatively rather than thinking positively. These people are the happy people when it comes to saying bad things about another person, their success and their roles. Although they have not personally met us, shake hands, get to know a part of us, they already have a negative perception towards us. We are just like a Deaf, in a race , although majority booed him, he still went on and win the race while ignoring them.

Sometimes, these people try and create stories so that their success would not look so bad after all.
For example,

Positive Thinker: These guys are good, i should follow their footsteps and try to get better than them.
Negative Thinker: These people ? I can be better than them long before, it's just that i don't want to cheat people, lose friends, and be egoistic.

Kan ke itu caranya untuk buat orang loser terasa mereka ni tidak lah teruk sangat. Cuma mereka tak mahu lakukan perkara2 yang (mereka tuduh kita lakukan walaupun kita tak buat).

(Sorry if there are some parties who i might have offended but these are true stories about UMP that went indirectly to us.)

That is why i choose to be the 'Deaf' and ignore all these words of negative thinkers. I hear all these things, i just ignore them.

There are also stories i heard from Tan Sri Syeikh Mokhtar Al-Bukhari, Tun Dr. Mahathir, Lee Kwan Yew, Datuk Izhar (KFC), T. Ananda Krisnan, Vincent Tan dan Lim Goh Tong and many more billionaires in Malaysia. Are those hate from a small part of our community is the payment to success ? Dalam kes ini, buka lah mata buka lah hati...

To those who hate and give me harsh comments, i pray for your success. With success only you will know this path. With success, only you will know the feeling of being hate even though we did not do anything towards other people. With achievements, you will feel how hurt the feeling to swallow all those cruel words that you once utter to us. Therefore i pray for your success.

Always think positive and don't trust people's words so easily. If we are wrong personally, maybe our characteristics is in that order, what can you do about it ? It is my dealing with god. If you think we are wrong, in any sense, do meet us personally.

Just Think About It. It Won't Take Long.

Why is it, people tends to stereotype us, foundation students as being unprofessional and unproductive ? What makes people think that we are something small and not of that standard of professionals. I feel hurt and irritated by the fact that we foundation students, especially UMP have been underrated by almost everyone, even people in our own course, our own class, our own group of students. They have not been taking UMP seriously. We certainly shut them up with the Montage for the SOC Media Carnival. To be honest, we welcome competition, healthy competition from those who do not feel we are good enough to be credited. I certainly felt stunned at being undervalued, underestimated, by these people. We, UMP are professionals and we work like one. The job we do, is certainly no joke. Treat us like professionals as we are skilled, qualified and proficient in anything we do. As for me, i personally think that a job is no charity, we deserve the value for every thing that we do. You have to think that the stuffs we do, require a lot of consideration. The cost of our production is more than what you think it is. Don't treat us like kids. We are professionals, and we have our own worth.

To put into consideration, think and reflect on this. We have to fork out our own money to pay for these:-

1. Time Cost
2. Design Cost, Creativity Cost
3. Software (Original Software)
4. Electricity
5. Management Fees (Petrol, Posts, etc.)
6. Video Editing Fees (Effects, Colour Control, Subtitles, Mixing, Cutting, etc.)

You tell me now, if you were in our shoes, will you ask money to do all this work ? If your answer is no, maybe you are not a professional, so, do not match yourselves with us, Unpredictable Media Productions. I am a photographer and in that area, even an unknown and amateur photographer could earn at least RM500 per event. What I am asking now is for some respect given to us, and never underestimate us.

Lets say our cost is RM800, and we take no profit from it. Will people pay for it ? Most of it won't pay because we are just foundation students. A lot of people do not realize that we count in all those costs. They would just think that, we deserve the pay for only electricity and the management fees. That is why you people are ignorant that we need to be rewarded for our hard work. Business is business, personal or friends remain that way. Even though you are our friend, we will still charge you according to what we charge to every other customers. Business and personal don't mix.

So, buckle up and be more mature in dealing with us and we will provide you with the best. That's a promise.

A thought from my heart, " the greatest inventions in life is jealousy and the ability to dishonour another individual".

Love, Hamster.

SOC Montage

Colourful People

for the past week, due to transportation problems, I have been going home by taxi.

Now what do we know about these working-class heroes?? They pick us up, send us to our destination, occasionally con us of our money?? that may be, but who are these men behind the wheel??

Taxi 1- the driver is a man who is painfully aware of the dangers of his smoking habits. Alas, after two decades of smoking, he feels that he could no longer fight his addiction. His comment: "Lebih baik dari ambik dadah" (better than taking drugs). I agree.

Taxi 2- sullen and dull man. that's it.

Taxi 3- a timid little man. when I told him of my destination, he nodded quietly. then he asked me of the route i had in mind. when i told him, he suggested an alternate route. he describe it to me and i realised it was much nearer. saved me a few bucks. My conclusion- a professional and pleasant man who knows his job.

Taxi 4- the most interesting one of all. he used to be a sailor and has set foot on 2/3 of the lands on Earth. I was sceptical at first, but he spoke good English and had good knowledge and good description of places that I have been as well as never been before. he also works as a part time musician. His comments on poverty- "They're trying to help the poor in Africa, but in London, here we already have poor people. One can never understand poverty unless they've mixed around with those people".

He also has interesting views on the politics here. "Those politicians trying to politicise religion, they're just making a mockery of God"

Suprisingly though, he supports the current PM.

He is also a really devout Christian. His quotes: "Our conscience is our best friend and our worst enemy. Apart from ourselves, God is the only one who knows what lies in our consciousness. God also made us capable of love. Therefore, why focus on the negative things like hate when we can go positive with love? Remove the bad things in our conscience, and keep the good ones. Then we can feel the Almighty's love"

....something like that anyway...can't remember it all....

My conclusion-a good Christian and a good man. I didn't mind getting stuck in the jam listening to his thoughts.

Taxi 5- just had one interesting comment. "the Government want to give Shah Rukh Khan the title Datuk? Why the hell for? He's not even Malaysian!!"

so these are just a few of the personalities i met in those taxi rides. i have been fortunate to meet these (except driver no. 2) wonderful people and it has been a good experience for me.

Except for number 2, these people that could do our nation proud...if the "people in charge" ever bother to acknowledge them.

-The Stag-

WE ARE BACK!!!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA TO ALL...

After a week off with holidays, UMP is now BACK with better info to serve you...
UMP will be launching our own Unpredictable Media Studio soon.
It will be all about music... There will be music on the page and we will produce our own songs soon...
So, wait for it...

Of Language And Weirdness

There was a time. Where the education system changed their English Language way of educating people to the standardized Malay. When was is ? During Anwar's reign. Did it work ? NO.

Educating people in Malay just doesn't help. In any institution, English is the main language. If you are not proficient in English, tell me how do we survive ? Malaysians don't realize that our community needs to be developed. The nation needs development. And tell me how do we get the development we want if we cannot speak the international language ?

We think that by bringing back Malay into the education system, all of us will be united, every race.
But i do see that nowadays, every race tends to use their own language, they don't have a standardized language.
How many subjects are there in English ? Only Maths And Science. Why are they making such a big fuss about it ?

Okay, maybe half of the subjects taken in SPM are in English. I can guarantee that these students will be thankful when they go overseas and study. Not only overseas, even locally, they use English as their medium to communicate. They should be thankful that the government changed the Malay Language of Maths and Science to English !
Why are they complaining ? Because the Exam results are not good in both of the subjects ? Who is to blame ?
The teachers or the Parents ? Think about it.

The teachers can't speak proper English. The parents meanwhile have been taking English lightly and educating their children with Malay. I didn't say it was wrong. I was brought up being taught both languages. I can speak and write both coherently.

Not to brag, but i feel that every citizen should learn the language and be good at it. For once i think the government did something right and now they are scraping it back. They feel that English is used by the British and it is a form of aother colonization by them, but then put that mindset away Malaysians ! We should progress. We are a bigger nation than anyone in SEA. We must develop ourselves, our mentality, the desire and knowledge. Come on people. Get United and be as strong as ever !
As what pepatah Melayu says, "bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh" !

Compassion and death camps

I was completely and utterly disgusted by the NS authorities stating that the death of Ricky Lim was not a valid reason to extempt Lim Geok Kim and Lim Meng Yeok's daughter, Jane from attending the NS camp.

If a death of a relative, a brother no less, is not a valid reason, I don't know what is.

Have the authorities lost all sense of compassion? How would they, nay, how would we all feel if we lost a friend and family member after they attended something that MAY have contributed to their death? Would you want to allow another person who is precious to you go to that same "something"??

This I have to see, will the authorities arrest the Lims for trying to protect their daughter? Will the authorities drag Jane to the "National Service" camp? Or will they find some shred of compassion in their darkening hearts to allow this family to keep their daughter close?

To the Lim family, UMP is behind you all the way.

To the "certain authorities"....try to remember what its like to be human....

-The Stag-

Unity, Tolerance and all the sort...Is it real? Is it a myth?

Malaysia is multiracial country.

Malaysia is the melting pot of different cultures.

Malaysia's diversity is its greatest strengths.

Malaysia Truly Asia. (can't help it)

ARE ALL THE ABOVE TRUE???

...............

I'm going to tell you all several stories. It is based on personal experience.

--

One morning, my friends and I took an early LRT ride to KLCC. At first, it was empty, but as we went from station to station, people began to board.

I noticed something odd.

Malays sat on one side of the LRT. Chinese sat on the other side and so did the Indians but they were separated from the Chinese by two seats.

I thought to myself: "What the hell is going on??"

--

My friends and I went to a basketball court one evening. There were a lot of people playing, mainly Chinese.

Excuse me, they were all Chinese.

I asked them if we could play with them.

They pretended I wasn't even there.

--

I was in a school cafeteria (did I spell that right?).

I was eating my meal with my friends (Chinese, Malays and Indians). I looked around.

This is what I saw:

1. Malays were sitting in one part of the cafeteria.

2. Chinese sat away in another.

3. Indians sat at another.

There were few tables, including my own, where there were different races sitting together.

--

I surfed around online and surfed Youtube, blogs and forums and such.

I saw hatred everywhere.

I read about Chinese calling Malays lazy pigs. I read about Malays calling Chinese dirty and so on. I see videos where people insulted another ethnic group.

You get the picture.

--

So what do the stories above tell you?

Are we truly united?

Do we truly tolerate each other?

Personally, I don't think so. We are so caught up with the "my people, your people" idea, that we fail to see ourselves as ONE ENTIRE PEOPLE.

We live on the same land, we breathe the same air and above all, we all share the name "Malaysians".

I will not point fingers at whose fault this is...but....

THERACIALPOLITICSTHATOURPOLITICIANSKEEPPLAYINGISTHEMAINCAUSE....

its just one of the few though....

its time that we stop seeing MALAY, INDIAN, CHINESE, SIKH and so on..

its time to see only one race, one people.....

MALAYSIANS.

We see in the news stating that Malaysians are united and so on....

Bullshit.

We still have a long way to go.

If our mindset doesn't change, if we do not tolerate and respect each others differences, Unity is just a myth.

Stop demolishing the temples of the Indians.

Stop blaming everything on the Chinese people's economical success.

Stop attacking the bumiputras' rights.

Stop making fun of the Malays' religion, Islam.

Stop forcing the Sikh students to cut their hair.

STOP BEING NARROW MINDED.....

......

I was bored...so I wrote this....

Selamat Hari Raya.

I took this clip from youtube. Rather a last year's advert but this advert really did touch my internal feelings and tears plunge rather easily. I don’t know why. The camera angles, the scripts and the storyline are so emotive that Hamster could not control his ego-ness of a man for this particular moment. Petronas seems to have a good idea and creativity for their ads. They are awesome !

The storyline goes as how a father tolerates his son although how annoying it was. A parent can bear the attitude of their children but obviously, these days, children don’t tend to care about their old folks anymore. They take care of their parents as though they are some kind of an annoying creature that don’t deserve to be loved in this world.

I learn a lot from this ad. It teaches me not to forget whatever my parents gave , when I grow to be the person I am now, a young adolescent maturing with their guidance and support. I suddenly feel that we forget those who gave us luxury when we don't need them in our personal life anymore.

When someone gives their support, in any way, we are thankful, but maybe on that particular hour or moment. We are likely to forget their contributions soon after they are deemed not important anymore. Parents are something important to me, well, family is the most important part of my life. They are the stepping stone towards your success in anything you want to be.

They are the ones whom you can trust, who give moral support when u need it, when u are in any sort of problem, we turn to our family, especially our parents for guidance. To disrespect our parents are unacceptable in any sort. These people don’t deserve to be called a person.

We should reflect and think that whatever or how you hate your parents, or whatever they did to you, they are still your parents. Who care and love you. I love you so much Daddy and Mama. And the same goes to my siblings.

Love, The Hamster.

UMP LOST IN PJ

Yesterday, UMP needed to get JPN so that the Craziest can get his IC...yup that's right...

Only three went, Hamster had to go shopping (topshop/topman sale 20% dooo)...haiz...

The rest of them, that being the Craziest, the Stag and Emoshit went. Stag was the driver, Emoshit navigator, Craziest the petrol money provider...haha....

At first, things went well, Stag got to refuel his car and got on the road. but then, under the bridge in front of LCS, Emoshit made Stag take an illegal turn and off they went, unnoticed by the old policeman who was under the bridge as well.

Emoshit got mixed up in his directions and led Stag to drive to his house, making Stag take another illegal route as he did. Emoshit called daddy, and asked for directions. He led Stag to drive back towards the bridge, and would have forced Stag to make an illegal turning again but the policeman was watching this time, forcing Stag to turn towards Shah Alam.

Emoshit was swearing at his dad over the phone by then. I repeat, swearing at his dad !

After pointing Stag back in the right direction, they took the correct route, only to get lost again, but by some twist of luck, managed to get on the right road, only to miss the entrance to JPN, forcing Stag to park behind the building.

it was raining by then and Stag was in a very very foul mood.

Craziest got his IC and UMP made their way home uneventfully.

What they got out of this:

1. Craziest's IC

2. Stag used up one bar of petrol(1 litre=RM2.55)

3. Stag was forced to make 2 illegal turns

4. UMP nearly got run over by a garbage truck

5. Stag nearly kena fined by the police

6. NOTE : Emoshit sweared a lot

It's all because of Emoshit...that's all...

Stop fighting, Malay leaders told

The country’s leaders cannot alleviate the burden suffered by the people due to rising costs if they continue to fight among themselves, said Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah.

Calling for an end to political quarrels, Raja Nazrin Shah said differences in their approaches should not lead to an irreparable split in the Muslim and Malay community.

“All efforts should be focused on easing the burden of the people,”

“Productivity must be enhanced, investors assured, new jobs established and the supply of necessities guaranteed,” he said.

He added that the country needed leaders who could take on the challenge and focus their minds and efforts on “productive work” in view of a weak global economy.

“If we fail to handle this challenge, the stability and tranquillity of the country will be affected, and everything that has been achieved after 51 years of independence will be lost.”

What he said is right and every young generation should see this and learn from every mistake our leaders now have done. They should unite the country, but instead... more chaos has been developed and now everybody is in despair with the transition of power.

The nation needs a firm leader that could do his part as the prime minister. For god's sake ! Bring some economic and political stability to this depleted country. We are a developing country, we cannot afford to slip up and give other countries a chance to get ahead of us. In order to succeed, unity is important. Learn from every mistake.

The CRAZIEST.

Save Yourself from ISA

Recently the government has been using the ISA for all kinds of dubious reasons. I mean, come on!!

Using ISA to PROTECT someone??

If you want to lie, at least come up with a better story...

anyway, the government has been doing everything within their power to stop us from speaking out and organising rallies.

they've been using ISA and police roadblocks to stop us. Wasting our time on the roads and what they are doing is illegal to the law and amendments

who is at fault here??

True, Petra might have gone overboard about his remarks on Islam. But what about the journalists who were simply doing their job?? (you know who they are)

Though obviously Teresa Kok have exceeded the line when her remarks about the azan in the morning during subuh and that is something more relevant for the capture of her in the ISA.

But in regards to rallies and speaking out, the government was violating one important article when they tried to stop us.

ARTICLE 10

what is this article??

here's an overview

Article 10.

(a)every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression

(b)all citizens have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms;

(c)all citizens have the right to form associations.

to see the rest of it, go to http://wwttacolytes.blogspot.com/

thank you Acolyte, whoever you are for putting this up.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK OUR MIND.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND RALLIES PEACEFULLY

the government resorted to using force in the form of ISA and the police to stop us, and they call this a democracy?? please, that is subtle tyranny.

know your right and use them.

MMH Assignment

We had to do a documentary for MMH. It was pair work, so the UMP couldn't work together completely for this one. But we have another documentary for to do, and the UMP will be working together for that one. Look forward to it.

This is Raffi and my work.

Its about Tun Dr. Ismail, one of the few Malay politicians who didn't play racial politics. He fought for everyone regardless of race and religion.

There are surprisingly very little information about him on the Internet, so this is our tribute to him.

This is the youtube link to the documentary - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NjoF8poD48

Until next time.
