Another New Assignment???

This week’s lecture was a nightmare. Dr. Maznah did really remind me of the assignment she gave us the week before. It was an ‘Oh-my-God’ case for me. This was due to the fact that I totally had no idea how to begin the assignment. Why was I ‘idea-less’? The reasons were very predictable. First, I still had so much time. Second, I did not even bother to understand the given task. HAha…

The lecture became a nightmare when her assistant, Miss Ng guided us on how to plan this assignment. She flashed a few slides showing us a very proper yet a neat way to prepare. The nightmare became scarier when she mentioned of a few soft ware (namely the windows movie maker) which could be used to make our movie (the assignment) a success. Hey! I was totally and completely speechless. I was again blurred. But this time around, I was very conscious of the fact that many of my course mates were speechless too. I then became very worried; too worried that my brain could no longer receive any input. Then it came the moment when I was not aware of the surrounding. I was completely into my world. I was too busy ‘layan-ing’ my thoughts namely ‘What is this?’, ‘I cannot believe I am going to do this’, ‘I am going to fail’. In short, all those pessimistic thoughts came flooding in my brain that I thought it was going to explode very soon.

Thankfully, Nisa who was sitting next to me responded. It awoke me and my mind was back in reality, the computer laboratory. I looked at Nisa. My eyes became rounder as if I could get a better view of what she was doing. I could not believe my eyes. She was exploring the windows movie maker. Hey! She knew how to use it. Wasting no time, I asked her to teach me and she did. Thank God, my blurred cases have been solved. During this moment, I did not even want to bother anything else. My mission was to make myself know how to make a movie. I was very grateful for Nisa was such a great teacher. I did really learn something from her. Of course, I would follow her advice which was to refer to ‘Youtube’ if I faced any difficulty.

My learning did not end there. I explored around the laboratory to check on my course mates’ progresses. Whenever I happened to see anything unfamiliar, I would stop by and asked them. Fortunately, they did not mind a single bit to guide me. I jotted down to steps and hopefully I could make a movie.

Today, my movie is progressing. True, I was very much in doubt in my ability to make a movie. But now, I have faith in myself. Based on all those guidance my friends have shown me as well as Miss Ng’s I believe my movie will be a success. However, I am still thinking of its title. Hai… This is the hardest part, don’t you agree?

P/s Good luck to everyone. Gambateh!
