26th March 2011 (Saturday)

Okay... I heard alot people planned fun trips on current Saturday, I have as well, a working trip... but not bad afterall.

Gather at office early morning, bringing equips and standby at ballroom of Magellan, Sutera Harbour. It's the 3rd day of EARCOS, an education conference specially for international teachers and students. The above is the schedule of the day.

It's international, of course most of them are foreigners teachers from all over the world. I truly admired of their language tongue, how awesome they describe simple things into jokes, living up the whole ballroom with smiles-laughing atmosphere.

My colleague main job is doing the LIVE video shoot, while my main is to get the mic straight on stage, and my boss is going around with his camera after talk. I have seen two meaningful of video clips made by high school students of Shanghai International School, and be praised of their way of conveying the message using wonderful ideas, creativeness and effects. (I think I'm still not that level in my current age, and imagine my zero knowledge on that age compare to them)

Shanghai Film Festival
 

Outside ballroom is a row of education exhibition. I explored some of the sections, and it's really much more interesting and fresher than the normal exhibition I ever seen. There's skii school, with 4 season trips per year, learn side by side with the natures rather than holding a book and wait in the classroom.

Student On Ice Expedition

THis is great. If I have enough requirement, I would definitely join more on this kind of expeditions and come in touch with natures other than just looking through their websites with full of admires.

Our job ended at 11.30am. Packing things up and returning to office to get the clips done.

However, we didn't have enough time to get it into PC ready to work on. Our next destination started at 1.45pm. But before that, I was treated by my colleague at 香香板面. It's been a while I ever taste Tek Panmian 铁板面 since my 1st year in college. (about 3 years ago.)

   

It's really a weird weather, but thankfully things are running smoothly. We are on the road between two dimensions, by means from the car window, my left view stays sunny while my right side view stays rainy with dark clouds.

Our job started at 3pm, at Kid's Pongo centre. Today's activity is to support EARTH HOUR, so 3R (Rasa Ria Resort) planned a Lantern Making Activity. Here are a few of photos from the activity.

 Couples, children and family joined the lantern making. Lanterns samples are display in the center.

These are the final work from our participators, creatives and supportive

Our friendly staffs of 3R.

This is my supportive message "SAVE OUR ENERGY",  and a "PEACE" by my colleague.

And job paused at around 4.45pm, we were back sitting at the lobby, watching over the sea from there... lacking of something... freedom... I'm not able to move around more further than the stuffs on the wooden sofa. That's the fun I lack of ... feeling the sea breeze, watching the sunsets, walking by the seashore, and take some nice photo view.

This is the on going EARTH HOUR. I was positioned as an immediate cameraman, to shoot the scene. The earlier participators were gathered back to hang their own lanterns on the trees in the lobby. This is the finishing activity, job well done to all the staffs.

Working trip ended 10.45pm, and home with a tired face. Although it's tired, but at least I have not wasted a Saturday. Support EARTH HOUR.
