Our most epic project

Woohoo so I decided to do a Samsung video competition with KC and so many epic things happened!

1) epic recruitment of Jocelyn
We actually had another team mate but she was super busy and couldn't really contribute to the team! Was meeting KC and Jocelyn for lunch and after lots of persuasion Jocelyn got recruited! We feel quite bad for girl who unfortunately got kicked out but I was quite happy that Jocelyn joined hahha. Because Jocelyn and I always get separated I almost forgot how fun it is to work with BFF hehehe. Filming throughout the day felt just like a fun outing :))

2) KC's epic drive
When we got into KC's car he suddenly couldn't turn on the engine! We realized that the wheel was locked TT sweated buckets in the hot car while we youtubed how to unlocked a locked wheel. Finally KC got through to his parents who told him to turn the wheel while switching on the engine. ._. Then we finally set off.

After that we exited from the carpark in KC's car and he decided to turn DOWN the innovation center slope. To our horror, it was a one-way road UP because the downslope has been blocked for some construction work :00 As you might have guessed, all of a sudden we had 3 cars right in front of our face!! We just looked on in horror when a guy from the DHL vehicle in front of us came out and was like "Bro, one way street la!" Lol we already knew by then lor XD Luckily the DHL guy taught us to 3 point turn and drive back up the slope! Crisis averted haha. KC says it's the worst day of his whole driving history lol.

3) having some epic bad luck at the start of the day
Jocelyn established that the driving episode as above was probably because of her bad luck cause she's been unlucky recently! Like it keeps raining during her project's pilot test TT After leaving ntu we had to find elderly to interview and Jocelyn suggested St Joseph Home. We later found out from the lady that the whole center was MOVING OUT on sat and it wasn't a good time :0 and also suan us that we should have called before coming :0 haha thankfully that was the end of our bad luck and it was good from then on!

4) being epicly thick-skinned
Through the day we had to ask for volunteers to star in our video and we just had to approach strangers - elderly and youths included. It was quite the experience getting some teenagers to act for us. The most memorable would have to be asking the hawker that sold us our fish soup dinner to pretend to be chummy with us and we just faked "hahahahhaa" all the way for the 5 secs clip lol. The hawker is super nice and obliging and down-to-earth. We were so happy to meet him! Oh yea! We also had to do an interview with Jocelyn's granny and she was also superbly good at acting and really cute haha. Met so many nice people that day. 

And we worked through the night till 3am for the vid! Here are some behind the scenes

That's all folks!

I'm sure more happened but that's all I remember lol! Lack sleep TT
