Day 14-2 "Gala Premiere"

Yes, hello friends, we are all invited to the MOI year 1 Gala Premiere. What a lovely day it was. I got up and wore my best dress (not really) and went to meet my friends. Joel was picking me up in a cab, and as usual, he took his own sweet time eating and picked me up at 12. We were supposed to be in school at....12. Marj called Joel and told him that marks would be deducted off a group if they are late. Shit. Ok, for the record, we were 10 minutes late. The lecturers should really keep to their word about deducting marks off because we had to wait a full 1 hours before the event. I was all seated and ready. Not to mention that I had not had my lunch.

Anyway, when it finally began, the group that borrowed 3 cameras the first week of school were still not there (jake, jy, andrea and angie I think). The event began with Sholleh's group. And it carried on. It was really cute to see "MOI News" they were all dressed up to their best and Raymond gave such a lovely intro. Another group went with the News-casting theme was "News6" I love their clip, it was really funny and original and creative, not to mention a cameo appearance by our dear Joel (it was hillarious). Best original screenplay, I thought, could have gone to Sarah's group if only they didnt end abruptly. The last group that presented was "Crewsade" .............ya, it was GOOD. They were in the same class as me so, over the past month I had seen their rough cut, and I must say that after post editing, it looked really really GOOD. Not to mention the special effects and everything. Damn.

So, the day finally came to an end and it was all hugs and goodbyes and we "celebrated" by going to my place for pizza!! Woo! It was homemade all from scratch. lovely. If your dying to try homebaked goodness fresh from the oven, ask me anytime if you can come ova!! Then we went to watch James and the Giant Peach. I LOVE it. anyone who hasnt seen it and want to take animation should really watch that movie. I love it. Then, before everyone left, there a bit of confusion (I love thesauraus.com, really helpfull when you cant get a particular word) with money issue, and us being the designers we are had to take about half and hour passing the receipts around to those who think they know better until finally settling the "bill" and change. Gosh.
