that Gianna visit

This is the most difficult video so far... Video cam head became dirty at the very last min, very little material to work around, Subbing blindly as I know nothing about the Korean language and could only trust the translator on it while hopping that I didn’t lose anything in translation when I reedit what the translator said.

Haiz then waking up and see a 1 star rating on youtube… even before I get to publish this video at the Mx channel… it just felt rather disheartening. Is it really that bad? I don't even know what's wrong with it that the video deserve 1 star ... or was it my competitor's handiwork?

Updated

i went on to add the mx logo ... a good excuse to remove that 1 star video with a new one ....

how to make fake glass

Just in case I ever need this : )

How to Make Sugar Glass

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Sugar glass is a fake glass made from kitchen ingredients. It's used in film stunts because the edges aren't as sharp and dangerous. So when a bottle is broken over someone's head, or a person plummets through a window, this is the stuff you see. While you shouldn't tackle such outrageous stunts without the proper training and safety gear (see Warnings below) making your own sugar glass is an easy project.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
  
• 1 cup light corn syrup
  
• 3.5 cups sugar
  
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  
• cooking spray
  

Steps

1. Mix water, corn syrup, sugar, and cream of tartar in the pot. Stir often and bring it to a boil slowly. If you boil it too quickly, it'll caramelize. As it heats up, it'll go from a cloudy color to clear.
   
2. Heat the mixture to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), then remove from heat. This should take at least an hour. Use a candy thermometer, but be careful not to let it fall in the mixture (as shown in the video below). You might want to tie it with a string or find another means of holding it up without your hands.
   
   • Note that somewhere between 210 and 240 degrees F, the temperature will stop rising temporarily, so don't think the thermometer stopped working.
     
   • The sugar glass mixture will stick to the skin and cause burns. Don't dip your finger in or let it splash.
     
   • At some point it may also begin to turn yellow. It will take lots of sugar glass making practice to learn exactly when is the right time to remove the mixture from heat so that the glass is clear, but still hard.
     
   
   
3. Spray the cookie sheet generously with cooking spray.
   
4. Pour the hot mixture very carefully (and with thick gloves) into the cookie sheet. Pour slowly to minimize bubbles.
   
5. Put the cookie sheet on an even surface. This will help the mixture spread out evenly so that the finished glass isn't thicker on some spots and thinner on others. Leave the mixture to dry for about an hour. After 25 minutes it should be cool enough to touch, but it isn't hardened, so don't take it out until the full hour has passed.
   
6. Carefully remove the dry glass from the cookie sheet. Take a knife and heat it up under hot water, then carefully cut along the very edge where the glass meets the edge of the pan. Carefully pry it up. Then flip it over and slowly lift the pan away from the sugar glass that is resting on your hand.

Tips

• For best results, use the glass immediately. With time it'll warp and get sticky, so prepare the glass right before you need it.
  
• Don't let the sugar glass sit in a moist area or direct sun. It's essentially candy and will start to melt or get sticky like candy. Humid days are not good days to work with sugar glass.
  
• Make your "glass" as thick or thin as you want. You can also experiment with shapes by using a variety of molds.
  
• Make colored "glass" by adding food colouring.
  
• Make brown "glass" by using brown sugar.
  
• If you have trouble removing the mixture residue from the pot, add water and boil it to dilute the sugar mixture. Pour it out carefully.
  

Warnings

• Sugar glass is still sharp! There's still a good chance you'll get cut.
  
• No, it does not taste good. Don't eat it.
  

Things You'll Need

• measuring cup
  
• candy thermometer
  
• pot
  
• cookie sheet - this will be your mold, so get one in the size/shape that you need

the Relationship Bet

Last Year, I had a bet with Mx Webmaster that by the time of his wedding, that all 4 "regulars" single columnists would still remain single ... by today, there about half a year left and I analyze my observation of the current status of the four participants .... offering him a chance to surrender now and lost half of the bet.

He used Gambling in a Casino analogy to describe my Observation and I thought it was quite spot on description on my observation.

#1 spread his bet all across the table. Betting on both Big and Small at the same time ... Whatever he wins, he will also lose ... he stands a high chance than the rest as he does frequently places his bet.

#2 avoid the Casino like a plague. Always seek solace in a Cinema. Unlikely to win at all unless the banker comes looking for him in the dark theatre.

#3 spend too much money on his gadgets. Might have no more money to go betting ... therefore reducing his chance in winning.

#4 is too cheapo to bet ... spend too much time in trying to get into the gambling section via FOC method.... not likely able to charm lady luck.

the above analogy and Observation should be taken in a candid manner ... it lacks substantial data and could only serve as a one person opinion. hope it will not offend anyone (or the participants) while reading it ...

*update ... this post had been approved and therefore see the lights of the day once again

What Makes a Good Friday?

One of my acquaintance asked on facebook .... I believe it was for the weekend Fridays and what constitute a Friday that was productive ... one of his friend answered it would be with a hot date

My answer is "Jesus Nailed to a Cross"

: ) kinda amused myself with that reply ... but think about it ... it make sense! Jesus kanna nailed to a cross and we celebrate that with a holiday! and definitely Puns intended when I replied

Bad Day for Covering a Movie event

I had one of the most lousy day in covering a movie media event. Felt so discriminated upon and so many things screwing up for me.

1st ) The Video cam I been using, suddenly got problem with playback. Then I realize the recording device wasn't working. All this happen right before I make my journey to the venue. Panic Mode and rush to get a head cleaner to solve the problem.

then encounter a orchard rd electronic uncle trying to convince me that no point saving this camera ... i think he want to sell me one but not in a million year will i buy from them. Only delay time .... then I went to other store and managed to get it for 26bucks !! damn ex the cleaner!! but the uncle seller was "nice" enough to sell me for 3 bucks cheaper ... was 29 at first

2nd) rush to the venue and waited for 45 mins for Gianna Jun ( Jun Ji-hyun ) appearance. That main press con only lasted 15 mins! then ask us to wait for about 2 hours for one on one.

3rd) No food provided. and the venue is at some hush hush hotel in sentosa which i was told a night stay there cost 600 bucks and onwards ... notthat the view is that great

4th) when to find food at sentosa ... was directed to this overpriced hot dog stand and a car park that charge 3 bucks per entry... still not that bad until when i try to get out ... the exit barrier can't detect my entry information! Got stuck there for a while as I couldn't get thru the ppl in charge

5th) during small group interview ... while i was video-ing ... i was told to stop recording! at first they say no photos but i didn't know they meant no video too ... which is quite funny cos we are not using flash... upon questionning, the organiser told me that only TV could film this group interview!

So Stupid !!!! Tv broadcast only last a day or two while my youtube video will last so much longer on the net !!!

very sian ...

but I must admit ... Gianna Jun ( Jun Ji-hyun ) was quite nice and when i was holding mic for my Japanese Radio Dj friend, she even offer to put the mic beside the her.

and the parking error turn out to be a free exit for me .. so save 3 bucks

i realized i facebook n twitter so much that I got nothing to write on blogger anymore ... sigh
