This is the introduction for the video that we are going to take at Fort Siloso.

I think I’ll post briefly what the presentation will be like on wednesday in case some of us do not know.After discussing about ideas from sunarsih, derek, Nicholas and Julia,we came up with a plan.

Julia is in charge of making the powerpoint and Derek and sunarsih is in charge of the new blog which will contains all the posts that we had.For the rest of us, we shall post comments at the discussion board, but since we do not have one, i had created a new one.

I hope that we can post suggestions and ideas on how we can present our oral presentation.

Please post comments under this blog post.Even one will do.

I would like to ask all of you whether we should present the documentary first or in the middle of the presentation? Or should it be better if we present the powerpoint slides first , then our blog and lastly our documentary?

This are just some suggestions that I made so please reply and tell me if any of you had better ideas or agree with me.Thanks!

Dearest group members,

I hope all of you are glad that our editing for our documentary is done. However, we still have our presentation and documentary to present when school reopens.I’m not very sure what the presentation will be on,but i hope that some of us can edit the current one.Maybe the slides are on what we had done and learnt or what we had encountered during the process that we had gone through.

I hoped that some of you can reply to this post so that I can know what we are going to do for our presentation slides.Interaction in this project work blog will also contributes to our marks for july. Let’s work hard by giving comments daily or twice a week!

Lastly, happy holidays!

These are the parts that we need to retake for our video/flim:

1. Introduction.
2. Interviews

Someone must be in charge of taking down what the narrator said during the interview and what the interviewer and the interviewed person said .This is to ensure that when we edit the video, we can still have the text as backup if we cannot hear the narratior clearly.

Besides that, we need to planned when we are going to take the introduction and interview again. I would ask surnarsih if the date is confirmed. And we might need to borrow a video camera from the it trainers or the teacher and ask them.

This things had to be done soon before the holiday, so that we would not be confused during the holiday and then we will panic.

Secondly, as some of us are not needed to retake the video, we should spilt up the job by assigning the task to edit the current video that we have except for the introduction and our bad interview.

As we need surnarsih, derek, julia will flim the retake parts and maybe derek will be in charge of the video camera.So, it will left kangling,nicholas and weihoon to edit the video.However, we still need one more person to volunteer to write/jot down what the narrator and the interviewer said as i mentioned previously.

Maybe we can discuss this online or at school, during tommorow’s period when we are going to the IT resource room.

The video above is taken from :http://youtube.com/watch?v=JfpjjopDC3M

From the video,we know that Elizabeth choy played a great part in helping the British.

Although she is female,she carry out actions like passing supplies such as water to

the British internees and refusing to admit to the Japanese

soldiers that she helped the British. I know this as the video shows a

short part of her been tortured by Japanese soldiers using electric shock.

She had passed away in her late 90s.It is a great loss

 of heroines in Singapore.From the video,we know that

Elizabeth Choy is a woman that care and think about others.

I had quoted a short sentance from her speech in the video.

The sentence is useful and meaningful.Elizabeth Choy said  that ”

If there is no war,the Japanese will be just like me.

They will be at home with their family members,doing their

own peaceful jobs.Let us pray that they would not be any war

again.” We can see that she care for

even the Japanese.A mind-set like her should

be pass down to other such as youngster.

Also,the video show us that a war can reveal many

hidden talents in people.

From the information given in the source above,we know that other than soldiers,another woman of that time contributed a lot to the needy people during the Japanese Occupation. I know this as the information said that “Elizabeth Choy and her husband secretly brought food, medicine, money, messages and even radios to British internees.” This tells us that she risk herself in order to give supplies to Britsh internees despite getting caught.Thus,this tells us that Elizabeth Choy is the first woman in Singapore to become a heroine.We should all respect her as her bravery could not be found nowadays.

The amine video above was taken from you-tube,the link is available here.The video above are about Adnan Bin Saidi,a great hero who fight the Japanese attack to the very end.Till now, his last words "DEATH, BEFORE DISHONOUR..." to his man was deeply planted in the Malays.

From this quote,we can infer that Lieutenant Adnan was well respected by his troops. We know this as the video stated that they was left with no other choice but to fight till the end. However,none of the soldiers show any signs of opting out of the battle.

 Thus,we can infer that the soldiers respect him and took all his words to heart. In this video, we saw the determined spirit in the Malay regiment that were lead by Lieutenant Adnan. Although they had insufficient food and ammunition, they had the will to fight for Singapore despite the enemies attack. Although Adnan bin Saidi were shot,he still did his very best to defence Pasir Panjang Ridge. But,the battle was still lost to the Japanese. After the battle,the wounded Adnan was taken prisoner by Japanese soldiers, who tied him to a rubber tree and bayoneted him to death.
This actions had left him in history, he was considered by the Malaysians and Singaporeans of today as a hero.
