dont think i can afford to buy a spanking new digicam - unless i can somehow persuade my parents - that can pack in movie clips together with inexpensive media and decent image-capture capabilities (i dunno, how much is enough? *so* alienated from the world of technology - and that's the big problem with this long-term assignment of mine. im no longer as fluid or spontaneous as i used to be with computers, multimedia in particular. crap.) that's cheap enuf to justify a purchase - knowing very well that e camera could be damaged or even destroyed given e rough conditions of work. what the hell...

have settled for mostly video, came to an independent consensus with earlier batches that mostly-images (video and/or still) are the best way to go. thinking of using one of my dad's old Hi8s so it wont be all *that* bad if it dies.. but it does present a problem (which i wont elaborate on) wrt capturing the video on the com. which basically means that i can only do this at home - and we all know (well, i do, painfully well) how short a time i spend at home and the amount of work i bring back without fail.

if i can survive this course i think my time management skills will become so super that ill be able to manage like 5x what the average uni student crams into a day. heck, maybe even 5x what the average NUS med student is cramming, right now, 2 months into the first year... (*shudder*)
