Hi all...
Man, wad a tiring weekend it has been. And it's not about to get any better. Got shoot in an hour and a half's time.

Documenting the Hike
Was shooting the scouts hike on from friday night where they hiked from St Andrew's to macritchie. then next destination was supposed to be bt timah. But becos of the rain on satuday early morn, we had to abandon the idea. We were all drenched and overwhelmed that didn't really get to shoot much and shooting in the night on the move is crazy. Hate documentary shooting. Can't plan for anything and it's really a lil of gurilla shooting cos can't get them to stop so no choice gotta run ahead and shoot. Tried shooting in the cemetary but according to fai, the cam couldn't work properly so go figure. Gotta thank Joseph for helping me out. Carried that god damn heavy battery. Wonder if his shoulders are still aching. He intercepted us at Macritchie when we were there. Pity Alvin couldn't join us. Some thot we were going overboard with No. 4 Slacks and boots. Haha... We got the last laugh when we went through a whole patch of mud at the cemetary and on the trail to Jelutong Tower where we rested. And when it started pouring over there at 2ish 3... we got the last laugh again cos Jos and me were so prepared. :> Sorta anyway. Got me trusty windbreaker and he his No. 4 top. So we were pretty warm and all. Lalala.... while the rest of em were freezing and wet.... hahaha (last laugh) :> Fai was freezing like shit since he was not prepared at all and well, Christine's friends were quite impressive cos they wore shorts so I have no idea how they're feeling. :p Well, anyway, the rain was so big tt after we water-proved our cams and equipment, we didn't really dare to take it out to shoot for fear of getting it wet which i thot was a waste but some how if didn't really haf the support of them, kinda feel fully responsible if something did happen so ah well, left it as that and enjoy the rain... Made our way back after that.

Shall continue after this, gotta get ready to leave soon. ......
