  1. Hi Hewlee,
    re: Microsoft Windows Movie Maker program. Wednesdays (21/1 & 28/1) from 2PM to 5PM.
    With regards to the above, What will be the course fee?
    Do we need to bring a laptop? Is this a hands on course?
    Thanks
    Doreen

  2. Doreen,
    Course fee: no charge.
    Hands-on: yes, computer is provided. I have 5 working, the 6th is under repair/checking.
    Background: this course not only covers the application of movie making program, but also what makes a good movie – the storyline, good quality images and photo-taking. Some basic computer skills required for the WMM program will also be mentioned.

  12. Hi Hew Lee

    Yesterday I absented from your briefing and told you that is due to an unexpected event. I don’t like absence, I also don’t like telling lie, but yesterday I did both of them. I feel uncomfortable about that. I cannot do anything for my absence (only can say sorry), but I can tell you what is my unexpected event, which will make me fell a bit release.

    I have two habit of waking up, one is for the weekdays, and the others is for Sat and Sun. Although I am retired, I wake up in the weekdays not later than 8:00 am. I cannot sleep again after I wake up. In the contrary, in Sun and Sat, I usually sleep straightly to 10:00 or 11:00 am. If I wake up earlier, say 7:xx am, I can easily sleep again to 10:00 or 11:00 am

    Yesterday, I don’t know why, when I woke up at 7:45 am, I could not sleep again. I get up and did some work, then took my breakfast around 10:00 am. After the breakfast, may be due to the full stomach, I felt sleepy. I went for a nap without setting the alarm clock. I was sure I will wake up around 12:00 pm. When I woke up from my nap (actually it cannot be called a nap, it should be called a dead sleep), “Oh God”, I found that it is already 2:15 pm. I stay in Jurong West, there is no way for me to reach City Hall MRT by 3:05 pm. So I was absent for an unexpected event – I am over slept!!!

    I am sorry again for my absence and telling lie. Hope you and the others have an enjoyable briefing.

    BTW, can I still join the two-session course on 21/1 & 28/1? I have something in mind to use that application and lazy to do the self learning.

  13. Andrew: Thanks for you detailed explanation of your absence. By letting me know in advance is good enough. Learning from your own mistakes is part of life and we are still learning, including me.

    It is a disrespectful action if someone registered for a seat and last minute just “MIA” [missing in action] without any feedback to the organiser. Not even text or call to explain why they can’t make it. I was told this is one of the problems of organising “free” event. There is no “$$” or “pain” involved. It also deprive someone who is interested and just miss the boat.

    I have six working computers at home. You are still welcome to come. Everything is provided. You do not need to bring your own computer. All you need to bring is yourself on time, 20 to 30 digital photos, song file and the motivation to complete your project at the end of the course.

    My house is my workshop, I can show you “how” things are done in the digital world, from ripping a song, taking good pictures, editing your pictures, transferring files from one device to another or even how to enjoy your movie “wirelessly”. All these are included in this course of WMM.

    I will email you separately what we had discussed in the briefing session.

  14. Hi Hew Lee,

    Thanks for your understanding and forgiveness.

    Your e-mail is received and read. Please include me in the 2-sessions course. This time, if I go nap, I will sure set the alarm clock, not one but two, haha.

    See you on 21 (Wed)
