Today Is The Day

13 July 2011. Hot day.

Presentation went on smoothly. The website was able to be in place when IE was used. Until the time before our presentation, I then realized that it was just a compatibility issue. Lucky that I didn't spend the whole night for solving such an issue.

SLEEP is MORE IMPORTANT..!

Tomorrow will be the test whereby the Internet group, one of them being our group, got to work together fast. We will be receiving breaking news in the midst of lecture from other groups, and in the shortest possible time (eg. 10 minutes), we need to get the news article out and online.

After my presentation, met up with Eric for lunch at Yishun Northpoint. He came down all the way just to accompany me for lunch. So nice of him~ What's more interesting was that.. I fed him with one spoonful of   "cube-sized" prawns from my soup pasta (Seafood Zuppa), and this made him a little hungry after a little of walking.

Temptation of cheese fries from KFC made him a little more hungrier. While deciding whether to get his cheese fries, I kept on repeating "Cheese fries~~ Cheese fries~~". This made him even wanting to get it. Finally, he decided to get it. We took a bus back to Ang Mo Kio KFC, get his cheese fries and went home after that. Guess that's all about today..

Stress

12 July 2011. Windy Night.

This is the second post of the day. So stress out already. Everything looks so fine to me and suddenly bad news arrived in front of my laptop screen.

My group mate come telling me:

"Madeleine, how come the picture on the main page so slim? Got bug is it?"


Oh my god! What happen? Why does this got to happen at this timing when I am already so so tired and need my sleep so much? IE really gives people lots of problems. What appears on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox doesn't looks the same as of on IE. IE screwed my webpage up. The whole design is no longer the same and it really is ugly.

Now I can only pray hard that the presentation tomorrow goes on smoothly...

Introduction to News Media

12 July 2011. Sunny.

Just reached home not long ago after my News Media lecture. Today is the start of the submission of the group assignments being Newspaper (Tuesday), Internet (Wednesday), TV & Radio (Thursday).

Our group is called the Internet group where we get articles from other groups and placed them on our designed website which is done by me. Each member in the group is given different role like designer, editors, photographer, reporter, etc..

Tomorrow will be the day of our submission. Presentation of our website needs to be done. Yet till now at this moment, I am still struggling with the re-doing of the website. Edits need to be done so promptly and quickly. According to the lecturer, for the internet group, there will be some sudden breaking news in the midst of the presentation. This is to test how fast our group can react to such incident which happens to the daily newsroom. I need to really plan properly how I can make my posting of these sudden articles easily..

Overall, I think I learnt how people in the newsroom works with the tight schedule, making sure that news are delivered on time and promptly.

A Simple Day

11 July 2011. Sunny. Breezy.

A day with my boyfriend, Eric, is what I long for since his trip to BKK. And... Today is it..

We spent the day together playing Xbox games (Plants vs. Zombies), chat about his trip experience and had a simple dinner at Ang Mo Kio.

He bought me a key chain with dangling elephants and a cutie plushie. While waiting for him to do his stuff on the internet, I played with the plushie and took photos out of it. It's so cute that its even cuter than me :x

Innocent looking plushie

Cutie just like me!

O.o.. They somehow look alike :)

FINALLY!!!

This is the second post of the day..

I received his sms saying:

"I'm waiting to board the plane. Taking off at 8pm (BKK time). Will contact u again when i reach sg. :D"

Yippeee..... In another 3 hours time.... :D
