The Attention Deficit Chronicles…

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

As we know, there a lot of people seeking attention in the campus…People dress differently…people talk differently…and people behave differently…but there is one person who conquers them all…he is aaron raj…

aaron raj is the greatest attention deficit person in campus…why? many have asked this question…no particular reason he says…aaron’s the man really…he knows everything about everyone…from who hates who…to who loves who…u name it, he knows it…if he doesnt know it, he is sure to find out himself for his own knowledge…the information he has is totally secret and not told to many accept the ones he trust most…

this is the begining…u need anything, especially if ur a comm student, come find aaron…the attention deficit guy…the one he loved most of course cant accept the fact/theory of attention deficitness…the theory is,

all school or arts and science people need aaron raj…from the girls to the boys to the juniors to the seniors to the part time staff to the full time staff…everyone looks for aaron…

case example 1. juniors come to find aaron to ask him to help them with their course map…attention deficit theory proven…

case example 2 - senior students come to find aaron to ask him where is their class although they are seniors…attention deficit theory proven…

case example 3 - girls (shall not name subjects) come to find aaron to ask him for protection from various stalkers…attention deficit theory proven…

case example 4 - boys (shall not name subjects) come to find aaron to ask him to play futsal with them…attention deficit theory proven…

case example 5 - part time lecturers (shall not name subjects) call aaron to confirm if there is class or not…attention deficit theory proven…

case example 6 - full time lecturers (shall not name subjects) call aaron to help them check on their students behavior…attention deficit theory proven…

case example 7 - monash university media office call aaron to helo them with videos…attention deficit theory proven…

and most importantly case example 8 - for 4 years, aaron has helped her with all her academical stuff, from handing up essays to course map to taking attendance to doing assignments…attention deficit theory definitely proven…

and he asks me why i am not talking to her? hello? who is not talking to who? i feel so used…

attention deficit theory is cool…i wish to give special thanks to ann and felicia of the chosen ones gang for giving me this incredible theory…it may be a fact soon…

also, i wish to give special thanks to all the chosen ones for all the good times i have had with u guys…

and most importantly joanne soo liyeng, my upper most senior manager and consultant for helping me when i was in deficit the most…

i feel i am forgetting some people….hmm who are they? hehehe…..i know…all u people i have been stuck with together since mufy…hmm, dont really feel a deficit when im with u guys…feels more like a surplus…hahaha….

cheers…

A scary journey…

Monday, October 15th, 2007

i drove back from ipoh today in my uncle’s 1977 Toyota Cressida…sadly, things were not as they seemed…i am here today because i am a fantastic driver and i didnt panic…

as i was travelling back at about 140km/h near Rawang, my car, suddenly had a bursting sound…and some smoke came out from the engine…the car engine did not die…i slowed down but the engine seemed fine…so i continued my journey fearing that if i stop i will not be able to start my car again…

as i reached subang, there was no smell or burning or anything but there was a little bit of smoke coming out and the car started to sound different…the temperature gage was reaching hot…

reached my apartment…poped the bonnet and turn of the engine…i was in shock…the engine had overheated…all steam coming out… no burning smell but steam…and i realize, the pipe connecting from my radiator to the engine had broke…thus, the overheat…the damage didnt seem that bad yet it was a scary experience…

i didnt panic…was calm all through…called my uncle and explained everything…kereta masuk workshop besok i hope…so no car for the next few days…

anyways, im safe…

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Question.

Do girls like guys with cameras?

I just had a brainstorm with the type of films i could make and i just thought of one amazing story…well, it’s not really that fantastic but i think it could be good…

Story: Simple pathetic dude who is aspiring to be a film maker…he is very friendly and quite popular among other students yet he is a lousy fellow…he loves making films just as much as he loves girls…however his skills on getting girls are just as bad as his skills on making films…however, he has been improving recently…but he hasnt improve in getting girls yet…his obsession for his camera and girls has made him become a little psychotic that he now spends most of his time in the studio…he does his male gaze through his camera on all the girls he wants to see…but this aint getting him anywhere yet…until one day, the unexpected happens…he brings a freshman into the studio…shows her around and tells her he wants to make a radio program with her…so he records her voice…and takes a few video shots of her…the next thing is, he goes into the recording room, takes a mic and bangs her on the head and kills her…she is dead…he takes her body to the empty storage room and dumps it there…news about the girl’s dissapearance passes around and a few days later, he does the same to another student…soon, a number of 5 arts students are missing in a week…the school doesnt declare a curfew as they are not sure if all of them were in campus or not…the girls missing are also the onese who hardly came for classes as well…

but one of his friends happen to notice the weird behavior of him…she follows him and catches him read handed killing the sixth victim…and she had it all on her mobile camera…shocked with wat she sees, she doesnt complain to anyone…soon there was a smell in the campus…maggots were seen everywhere…people started to get frightened…she couldnt take it anymore as well…she went to the authorities with the tape…they came for him…they went into the studio…they only found his camera and his tapes…he was missing…they then found the bodies…but he was missing still…

5 years later…she graduates and works in an advertising firm…the firm hires a new employee…it is him…

wat happens next?

can u guys help me decide?

thank u…

PS: This story is completely fictional and is not based on any real characters especially ME!!!

Believe It Or Not…

I like this song...

Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself; Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, Should've been somebody else. 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. 

Just like the light of new day, It hit me from out of the blue; Breakin' me out of the spell I was in, Makin' all of my wishes come true. 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. 

This is too good to be true, Look at me  Falling for you. 

Believe it or not, Believe it or not, Believe it or not, Believe it or not. 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. 

Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me.

So believe it or not...it's just me...

The Confessions of a film maker…

Monday, October 8th, 2007

It’s week 12…2 more weeks and i have my exams and the end of my second last semester…a lot has happened this semester to me…i realize as every semester comes, they get more and more amazing…

The confessions of a film maker…

The first major thing i felt was for me and my career was the Nasi Bungkus Cinema…i had 4 films of mine being premiered…More like an Aaron Raj Film Festival…i dont think even my seniors aired 4 films of their own at one time…

Then opportunity knocked on my door…A couple of my friends decided to ‘hire’ me to direct a film for the Monash Ball…another fantastic experience in deed as it was the first time i was working with a cast i dont really know…

My big break i think was when Dr.Yeoh and Benjamin gave my name to Monash Media…They contacted me and wanted me to make a video for the Pro-Vice Chancellor…now this was a big thing as my video was going to be viewed not only by students and staff but also staff from the other campuses and people from the Australian Embassy…So yeah, it did create some name for me…In fact immediately after that i realize opportunities just came knocking in one after the other…And i didnt charge Monash for my services…Next time i will…

I just finish a music video yesterday…my first music video which i presented in class today…it wasn’t that fantastic but it was fun…

And now I’m currently working on editing some recorded stuff and also helping out on a book release video for the Monash School of Science…

It certainly feels good when u know people need u for your skills…but i must admit…i wouldnt be here today if it wasn’t for my friends…i know who supported me and who didnt…who cared and who didnt give a damn…seems upsetting to think about at times when u have friends who claim to be your friends but are hardly there to support u when u need them most but only know on how to comment on your work…maybe i think too much when it comes to this…

But i still had support from the rest of my gang…Joanne, Chun Hor, Kat and gang, Temme just to name a few…And it feels even better to know that i have my lecturers supporting me also…

I realize me making videos, well, it’s also my best way of keeping myself occupied in case of thinking of u know who…

But i promise u this…It’s only the beginning of the film…we have not reached it’s climax yet…

In Dreams…

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

In dreams, we dont have reality…In reality we have reality…

As part of my writing presentation, i shall be doing something a little different to my theme…It is related, yes it is…However, there are some changes…Experimental is the best way…

Thus, i am NOT going to be doing any live presentation tomorrow but i will show a film…A film i made in half an hour…It only took 30 minutes to shoot and edit…The fastest movie i made to date…

Tittle of the film, "In Dreams"…

Starring a robot and a soft toy…

That’s all the details I can give for now…

For that one special moment…

Monday, October 1st, 2007

You still make me feel special at times,
Although every time I see you is a crime,
A crime which cant seem to have a line,
A line that has definitely made me blind.

Yet although I’m blind,
I’m still able to find,
The goodness of a kind,
Within the state of my mind.

We are not lost yet.

For that one special moment…

And so are you.
