Jasinga Nightmare

2012 was a year to remember. Because in that year I had an extraordinary experience. The great experience was KKN. I got a lot of experiences in KKN, starting from how to survive and make something meaningful for the society. It was not easy for me to give to the community and the heavier condition how to be at home with people I've just met. There were jokes, and also conflicts. All united, making it anticlimax at the end.

Maybe these things happened because of my lack of preparation.

3 Idiots

Farhan Qureshi (R.

It is based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Taiwanese author Giddens Ko, who also made his directorial debut with the film. The film stars Ko Chen-tung as Ko Ching-teng, a prankster and a mischievous student who eventually becomes a writer. Michelle Chen stars as Shen Chia-yi, an honor student who is very popular amongst the boys in her class.
You Are the Apple of My Eye was filmed almost entirely on location in Changhua County, including at the high school which Giddens attended. The lyrics of "Those Years", the film's main theme, were written by Giddens.

The film's world premiere was at the 13th Taipei Film Festival on 25 June 2011, and it was subsequently released in Taiwanese cinemas on 19 August.
