Salt Winter

I really hate to admit the fact I've been such an emotional sloth the last couple of days. I couldn't quite help it but I think enough is enough. I'm not gonna wait for another person to pick me up from the back of my shirt and hang me up the wall. It's terrible... can't--breatheeee.

I'm really grateful for the all people in my life, and my bunny who has been bringing me the widest smiles as of late. How can you not smile at this:

:'D

It has been dreadfully emotional and grossly terrifying to be all in the face with the honesty of my thoughts and feelings. Some crazy crazy things up in my brain right there friend. BUT, some of the best and most honest works have come out of it too, so I wouldn't trade the experience for anything else either. I might share them one day I might not, but I discovered that I might be more capable of more things than I actually know. Of course, I cannot give any credit whatsoever to my pathetic little life, because really, who am I without Jesus?

So, enough tears and fever and fainting and hiding under my blankie named Chouchou. 

It's Adventure Time guys.

Indie Bo

Hello world,

I received a new baby as present this christmas!!!!!!!!!!! And, I named it Indie Bo (after the legendary JD who named his daughter Indie Bo. Yes, whatever-- copy cat, kiss the rat, go home eat your mother's yummy chicken broth :'D-- well, that's what I did)

And here she is:

so beautiful I know :'D

It's been a teary time for me... plus, I fainted from cramps yesterday afternoon (:/) so, I brought Indie Bo out today and it was T H E R A P E U T I C I tell you. 

There's this sense of accomplishment every time I snap something with it, as if clouds of comfort and confidence just floats above my head all of a sudden heh. I started journaling and realised---- it's pretty cool that I had to peel off the negative strip from the film to see the picture and really, it was like a literal practice (or you could call it.. a lesson) for me--- I was peeling off the "negatives" each time before I could see how the film turned out and it was ridiculously comforting.

Some of these films turned out great, and some others--  well not so great. Either way, it was magical every single time. Here are some of the turn outs thus far :)

There. 

Have a great day everyone, and if you're feeling jaded, go out and do something that matters to you!

Love, sam

ILLUMI PARTY RUN

Hi folks,

Jean and I went for the Illumi Run 2013 last saturday and omagah it was cray craaaay ~
It was so much fun and 5km never felt so easy (shut up if 5k is a breeze to you and if you're smirking behind your screen now. Stop it. Like no, really. Stop it ah.)

I think it's a really awesome thing for

1. lazy people who can't stand running (like me)
 'cause honestly the hype does make everything better :')
ps: crazy price to pay for some sweat if you're cynical as pickles but HEY if you had traumatic times during napfa in the past, this is a great way to re write memories #wipestear

2. anyone who has ever wished to be under rainbow coloured rain (me again)
so, the after party was a sea of chaotic, excited evening athletes and we were clearly the shorter lot of the mass but heck it. IT WAS RAINING RAINBOW GLOW PAINT FOR GLOW'S SAKE!!!!
It was beautiful #brbweeping

3. anyone else who wants to show off their running and dodging skeelz
okay get this, we left the venue and there were other crazy people
- still running
- with pathetic amounts of paint on their shirts (hardly any paint la)
- no really, like running like they don't care
I mean sure, pay 60 bucks and continue being uptight :'D

Okay sorry, I don't mean to be all sarcastic salmon. Maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have as much enthusiasm. Ah well. POINT IS, I got to be covered in rainbow glow paint with my best friend, I'm the happiest bunny :'3

#excites #feelinlikeanathelete #iwasanathelete #justsaying #usedtobeincrosscountry #dontknowwhathappened #toomanyhashtags 

okay here's when we were the next wave to be released (10,000 cool people showed up that night!)

After run!!!! (sorry J I think too many mouth open shots so i cut the heads off :')

:') (see what I mean)

Okay this was a lot more magical LIVE.

Had to tiptoe to get this shot #shh

Happy rainbow bunny :'3 (ok so I like to open my mouth in pictures, deal with it.)

Oh and of course, complete contrast to my day self:

(finally mouth closed)

Well, it was definitely a run to freaking remember. I hope they do this every year!!!!! 

ps: it was not difficult to wash off the paint -- at all -- if you were wondering :')

#happysigh 

Goodnight folks!

Fuji x100s

Hi guys,

Lenne has been an excellent influencer and hence, I'm now faced with the dilemma of choosing between a canon 700D / 70D / and the now and ever so pretty -- FUJI X100S

Come, let's take a look at how pretty it is and how it produces pretty as well #wipestear

SO pretty I can crai. 

And these now:

Okay one more:

How not to love?

I was totally bought over by this eye candy. 

The only thing is that the last I checked, it was going at SGD 1.5k *inserts ugly crying* 

And it only seemed more than logical to get a 70D instead--- which I btw chanced upon a shop selling it for SGD 1.2k (!!!!!!)

So tell me, how?

On another note, I spent the last two days helping Lenne design the typography for her postcards she's going to be selling at the coming up Underground Market!! (click to check out details!) 

It sounds totally fab and I think Jean and I are totally gonna be therez too ~ (8th dec!) If you go, please check out the postcards! They have been made with loads of love and efforts :'3  -teehee-

We also did a photoshoot recently for a project and here are some pretty for you:

* insert feels shots:

But no really, there were so many dragonflies and this was how I was in all honesty:

Don't judge me. 

Now back to work. Bye humans :')

Christmas, Christmas time is near

Hi bunnies,

It has been a few crazy weeks of shoots, presentations, more shoots and finally, UT that stares me in the eyes at current. Life :')

So I finally got to meet Lenne thanks to the shoot J dragged me to a couple of days back. She introduced Haim to us and I tell you, I'm completely bought over. Done. I'm in. Fangirl waving hanky and weeping by the corner equates to my present state of being.

Now here, ass kicking music has to be shared so:

And they are like how chio please.
Okay puking rainbows aside, I've decided to save up for a camera and do some happy shooting on my own! Reason being that I'm so addicted to snapping and editing photos and it seems to be something I've dedicated myself to doing the last 2 years (if you've been with me on instagram and if not, @seatheskies hello nice to meet you). I figured it could be time I bought myself some gear to level up the quality of stuff I might possibly be able to produce.

So. I consulted some awesome people, JZ in particular who set my perspective in place (not just with cameras, you are the boss la thank you #wipestear) and I'm taking his advice and going with the Canon Rebel t5i (700D) that comes with the 18-55mm lenses.

And from there I will "grow with the camera --" wise words from the boss. I guess everyone starts somewhere and I hope I start here, and soon teehee.

ps: if you'd like to contribute to my camera fund for christmas I will lavs youuuuuu ~
ALTERNATIVELY, you can offer me jobs so that I can save up for it on my own (HA)


And I sidetrack here to say, my next cover's coming up!!!! Just did the track and am in the process of planning the mv for it which I will get done asap hopefully, and I'll try to post it up in 2 weeks max!

So goodnight fellow cotton cloud candies, and have a good night!

love,
sam

Toffeenut

Today, I headed straight for starbucks and I could smell christmas just about a hundred feet away from the door. :'D

Okay so I'm exaggerating but seriously, Toffeenut ALWAYS is the best sign that christmas is about here. Love it. 

Anyhow, this is what I've been up to in school. 

Can I just say I haven't enjoyed school this much in like, everrr ~

Maybe also, school hasn't felt this relevant the last year and a half. Nonetheless, I'm thankful that things are moving. 

HEADS UP,

I am looking to do part time/ portfolio building for any production: photoshoots/ plays/ music videos etc.

If anyone's looking for a make-up artist, art director, crew or stylist, do drop me a comment or email me @ samauditeur@gmail.com :)

Okay back to face work, good day all! I am so looking forward to dinner.

Song of the week (and to my own surprise):

Love,

sam

Carpenter Girl

It's rest day from insanity today. (phewf)

Inserts more mandatory after work out selfies from the past few days:

Okay I know I know, the last photo macham like sweaty vogue. 

But honestly, it was an accidental shot heh.

As of the last 10 mins whilst I'm typing here, it's my first week checked! Holey peanut butter james and jackers. #threecheersforself #whoknew #imstillwalkingyo ---- Okay getting ahead of myself.
I hope this spirit continues to last as the weeks progress.

On an encouraging note, I'm no longer aching horrendously.  #yay

Anyway.
I had stagecraft mod today and we...... constructed a hard frame from scratch!

Check this out:

I might have hammered my thumb and breathed in a bit more than a little wood dust but yeah whatever. I walked out of the workshop looking like I did insanity (#werkin'them arms) and feeling all, "I are carpentarh!" 

Goodnight y'all, I will hug my heart and sing about something soon, you have my word :)

Love,
sam

Shiver

We uploaded the cover today finally!

Some background -- we recorded the track in about less than 2 hrs including the audio glitches (YIKES) that happened right after we exported the song :'D and so we took turns to film just 3 nights ago.

Here's my attempt at making the cover shot look like a film poster:

Okay I kid. It just turned out looking like a one sheet.
(I might be hanging out with the chapman folks too much.)

*inserts random feels screen shots teehee.* 

Can I just add a heads up that I'm super embarrassed at how my "alone" sounds in the track. Jean taught me some vocal control shizzle and I was focused on trying to get the technique right that my diction just went out of the window :' *arhhhhh*

Nonetheless, I'd like to think this was one of our best covers thus far heh. Speaking of which, J and I are gna be doing a slot at the Swap & Shop event this coming Christmas!

Our show is on the 23rd, 4pm - 6pm @ the Marine Parade Promenade.
You can find out more about the flea event and their other cool stuffs here  :)

Alrighty so, here's Shiver by Lucy Rose performed by Jean and I :)



Thanks for stopping by you cool bunnies, have a fantastic day!

love, sam

#insanitywthr

How's it going guys!

It's a wednesday -yay- I love wednesdays. Wednesdays' my free day from school. 

And so, here's the deal; because I am such an amazing friend and I love J so much, I--- I gave her my word to complete insanity with her.  Yes, you read me right. Insanity. I can shiver at the sound of that word. (Our cover Shiver is coming up btw I'll be editing le video soon. #productplacement #kthxbai) 

I started with the fit test today and here are my thoughts in one word: puke.
Like literally, all I could think of was," I am so gonna puke. Now. Omg puke. Omg now. I can't. Puke."

Oh my goodness gracious peanut butter tom and jackers, I almost fainted. Then I became one with the floor and had to take a mandatory #afterworkoutphoto so here it is:

There. See, it wasn't so bad sam, you can still form an expression. 

Yeah, okay can. I'm just relieved day 1 is over and honestly, slightly nervous at the thought of aching muscles and more Shaun T screaming at me to push harder. 

I am such a good friend.
Till then, more aching muscles and no junk food #dramatic #uglycrying.

Love, sam

Update (last quarter year resolutions)

Hey folks,

SO. Here's what I've been up to lately. I've promised myself (and all the awesome people who believe in me) to get my act together these next few months leading up to the end of 2013 :'D

One of those things I've been shoving off, is getting the music thingies done with proper effort and consistency, so I'm trying to work on that. And well, I set up a page just so it's easier if anyone wants to join me on this journey hehe. (click here to get to the coolest page ever in cat domination history / oh and here too)

So things are picking up! A friend called me up to do a christmas event in Dec and well, I'll update once I get the details. You awesome person reading this, you have to come and join in the fun when it's all firmed up yes! Yay ~

*inserts photos because too much text blinds*

thankchu mel for this shot 

thankchu J for this shot

and here's J and I pretending to sing on Mel's cue :'D

(these are a few of my favouritest people teehee)

Now, the other thing would be school -- which I admit I've been terrible at for most parts of my life. Can I just add in that as I type, I'm speaking to one of my best-est gifts of secondary school-- Hi lili my favourite butterfly! ~~~ 

Here's a photo to put a face to the name, of course she looks way cooler now ~

But yes, this semester is packed with these crazy-assignment-heavy modules. I have a Production Theatre Practicum module which require us as an entire class to plan and carry out a full theatre production! That is both scary and exciting at the same time.. (like lili's plan to live in africa). And I have 20 pages of script waiting for me to memorize :'D

Well, I'm stoked nonetheless. It's gna be an awesome rest of the year, for you too whoever you are! Have a great week all, and look out for the next cover by J and I soon! (I super love this one -- We're in the process of filming it!) 

with love,

sam
