How I did it: Saw the Penguins for the first time in Tasmania, Australia. They were not the common penguins we know of, like in march of the penguins. To my surprise, they were small and grey. Nevertheless, they were penguins! We sat quietly by the sea shore at midnight with dim torchlights. After some time, they started coming out of the sea and heaps of them landed on the shore.. and started walking in a line. aaww Then at some point they dispersed a… Read how I did it…
It made me

How I did it: SOUNDFirst I wrote a narration script. Planned which sound effects I would need for the project. Then I got a voice actor. Gave him proper direction and got out a good narration according to the script and the way I wanted it to be. Then I edited the narration on computer. Added atypical but fitting music to it. Recorded various few sounds and merged them and finalised the audio piece.I often start from sound work. As everything else… Read how I did it…

This girl has been giving me mixed messages since we first met. The first night, we met through a friend. It was a group party. three korean girls and two guys. We went to a thai restaurant, pub, then a dance club, then again a korean restaurant. She would keep asking me questions about me and always sit next to me, would serve me first, and later held my arm, and stayed close to me. After that we have been going out on what would appear ‘dates’. movies and dinner and walks. She always replies my calls or messages on the phone. Recently she said she would come to my house and cook korean food for me on weekends. But at the same time, I felt bit annoyed because she would keep me at bay when i tried holding her and and stuff. So at some point I stopped contacting for about a month because I couldnt crry on with that mixed behaviour. I thought I can’t waste my time and i had to concentrate on my university degree.
But somehow she came back into my life with same playfulness. Its hard to resist her cuteness. She asked me if i could tutor her on english. Last night she came home in the evening. I have been thinking about telling her how i feel, because if i don’t someone else will. And in a way i didnt care if she said yes or no.. i just didnt want to keep it inside me anymore.
After the lesson, I walked her to the harbour and told her how i felt. it was bit awkward because i didnt know what to say beyond ‘i really like you’. haha she said ‘i like you too’.. and i said no you dont get it i really really really like you’ lol. she just look at me and expected me to say more.. until i came up with more things to say. i held her hand. she let me. and asked her for a proper date. she said yes but she would give answer on the date.
I mean i didnt expect her to answer on the spot.. i get it that it was fairly out of blue situation for her. i dont care if she says no. but she has no idea how happy i will be if its a yes. but i have been hurt before and dont want to expect an yes and go through that pain if she says no.
i really care for her. i dont feel excited about telling her.. but feel more surprised at how easy it was to speak up straight and tell a girl you like her. wow it was not as hard as i thought it would. and if only i had the slightest courage in the past.. i wouldn’t have given up on other girls in the past.
