Oh I see...
So what are we going to do now?
Watch video?

most likely...i think its like game appreciation.

Yeah, it's something like that...but it's more like combination of that and creative writing..

So who's up for a BTTF marathon this holiday?

i am ok i think...no plans SO FAR

And the rest? Where's everybody?

So is anyone into a BTTF marathon?

Thought I'd join the forum since there have been questions about my involvement in the Sci-Fi
class in May 2012 trimester.

Sorry I could not make it for the mamak session earlier today. My sincerest apologies to all!

Just to clarify a few things:

- yes, I am teaching the Sci-Fi class with Tai
- yes, I have taught before at FCI even though I have not had the pleasure of teaching all of you But I mostly taught BC and GD students in the past since during the time I was teaching, your Game Design programme was not created yet.

I hope you will find the Sci-fi class interesting and provocative.

Thank you for sharing all your "thumbs" for the films you'd like to view for class. Tai and I will try to choose films that you want to see but we cannot promise to screen your favourites. However, we intend to screen films that we certainly hope will provoke thinking, questioning and of course, passion for sci-fi.

And we will even throw in some short stories, manga and an MP3!

Hope to see you all at the next mamak session and I am super psyched about teaching this class because I have not been teaching in 3 years even though teaching has always been my first love!

See you all soon!
