Arghhh, I just operated a focus intensive show last night, had headache then couldn't sleep because of the phlegm irritationg my throat, and this morning my superior called and told me I posted confidential photos on the web... Damn it! This isa really bad day. Later, I have work and I still have to face my superior....arghhhh........ Very good!

This is the kind of morning when you simply don't want to be a nice girl anymore. Frustration is the air you want to blow out of your ears like the cartoons we watched when we were small. You want to catch more sleep but you can't, you want to be entertained by comedies but your heart's filled with thoughts that you can't rid of.

Well, I'm glad nobody reads my  blog here... So I don't have to worry about later being asked about what I wrote here. If anyone out there knows me in person, please don't let me know that you read this blog, ok?

Arghhhhhh........

Wow, I watched Shinjuku Incident 新宿事件 yesterday..... marvellous movie. At the end of the movie, you only have a conclusion - dispiriting.

This is one of those movies which focus your mind on the plot, the characters & the emotions. You totally forget about the movie's technical performances like photography, directing or editing at the end of the movie as you were too engrossed in the story. It was real and depressing. You realise that people who used to be simple and undemanding becomes greedy & aggressive after they gain power & money.

Surprisingly, Jackie Chan's acting was more outstanding than Daniel Wu's in this show. I was wondering why when I read the paper's review this morning that Daniel's character has too short a transition to the change in his temperament, whereas Jackie had more scenes to share his emotional ups & downs with the audience. In fact, all the actors' performance were so good. They all could deliver the characters' personality & emotions seamlessly. This is really rare in movies nowadays.

I really think the directing was awesome, in fact better than The Protege. The fighting scenes were photographed with fast sweeps to create the sense of chaos & panic but while these sweeps were executed, I captured one moment when Jackie Chan's facial expression was featured for a second or two. That was surprising and impressive. The director actually remembers to let the audience see the apprehension that the character is experiencing. When you see it, you feel it.....

However, I can't get over the fact that Daniel Wu's chopped off hand looked fake, haha! It looked rubbery lah.... If you cannot stand chopping off hands, intestines fell out of the stomach, then not advisable for you to watch. Otherwise, you should watch it!

My favourite Microphone is still SM58. It's a very smooth sounding microphone and reproduces the mid low frequencies very well, especially when used on vocals.
As a vocal microphone, it is a live sound engineer's favourite because it is a cardiod mic with small pick up pattern and good dynamics. Compared to wireless Shure mics, it has much more headroom in levels.Thus, if you use a wired SM58, there is no need to worry about levels peaking or distortion.
Plus, you can drop it a 100 times before it stops working. The figures not tested and proven, so don't come and find me if it fails after you dropped it 50 times, thanks!
If you are an amateur in sound technology and not sure what to buy to sing song in good sound quality, choose Shure SM58. It is the entry level but one of the best inventions in sound technology.
