Yes, today I am finally getting connected broadband at home. Sebenarnya I had connection at home since Wednesday, tapi sebab takde masa, I didn't go and get my ADSL modem. Ni ler hasilnya tanak amik streamyx package punya modem yang keji teramat tuh, So today picked up some new toys. Now only did I get my ADSL modem, I picked up a wireless router. Merasalah tengah berak pun leh online (eeewwww....!!!) Also picked up a Microsoft webcam (have plans for that, but no it doesn't involve anything of adult nature) as well as some playthings like a USB vaccum for my laptop. Pening sebab sesak kat Low Yat Plaza. Had a friend belanja belanja makan (thanks noks for the meal...that was sweet of you to pick up the cheque..next time it's on me - we all earn enough!) Dia dan sorang agik member temankan. After we were done, Imah melarikan diri nak kejau free gift kat eventnya. I rushed home before meeting up with Juan later for a drink. Sebenarnya balik nak pasang segalanya, tapi sebab terlampau pandai ingat leh configure modem aku tuh sendiri...amik ko. Zilch! So popped back out again. Looks like I have to pop back into Low Yat again esok. Apapun, just wanted to finish my entry pasal semalam. Hung out until 6am kat lokasi shooting babak terakhir Malaikat Maut. I'll just tell my little story of what went on in pictures that are damn blurry, ok.
Ni lah sekitar lokasi penggambaran babak terakhir Malaikat Maut.
Sherry, Nana dan Que (tak muat lak Awal dalam pic) join the rest dalam doa sebelum aksi ni. Nampak lak crew tengah sibuk preparation terakhir atas keta.
Ni la posisi asal keta pas shot pertama keta diterbalikkan ngan bantuan crane dengan keempat pelakon kat dalam. Pas da scene golek sikit, meka bounce the car further down and reshot another take.
Tiap kali satu scene, kena check equipment to make sure the safety of the cast dan equipment. Tengok mounting camera.
Sekali da angkat ngan crane...abang Bade supervise sendiri ok. Pas da siap, dia take his seat kat director's chair nak see how it looks on camera lak.
Hah...ni la crane gedabak meka pakai. Aiyo...dahler touch up make tu awal. Ni gothic ke...iklan tepong komak. Cantik blusher si Que.
This is midway. Ingat tak curam ek. Ni long shot sikit of the location. Curam ok...dari angle aku amik gambar tak nampak...but it must have been a 30-40 foot drop.
Lagik satu angle nak tunujuk how steep the place is. Ni nampak sikit. Kul 5 pagik, cast da tak larat da...touch up sekali lagik sebelum di basahkan thanks to the lovely and ever so friendly abang abang bomba.
Ni shot terakhir kul 6 pagi. Keta da sampai masuk ke longkang ala sungai tu. Halfway immersed in the water, the cast members kena masuk sekali ok. Yerlah...nak lakon da kena accident...mersalah mandi air longkang kul; 6 pagik...masih ingat ni keja glamer? Bouncing upside down in a car yang thrown over the steep side of the embankment and then end up six hours later dalam longkang.
Gambar aku keji sikit quality for obvious reasons. That I used my beat up mobile phone (sabar...ada replacement nak mai) But kalau korang nak tengok pic yang lebih jelas (termasuk sorang cast member yang honorary - tima kasih Que sebab lobi aku), KLIK SINI untuk tengok pics yang lebih jelas dan high res gituh. Ok...gotta call it a night! Thanks so much to Anita for inviting me... Tayang Unggul rocks!!! And Gaya, luv...mintak mintak ni jangan ler give up making the movies you guys make. Kalau nak commercial je pun no fun. Night all...
Seharian bekerja nak tepati all my deadlines, and then sempat gegas balik ke rumah balik, tukau baju before later in the night headed to McDonalds' yang nak on the way ke Sentul after Hospital Tawakal tuh. Tunggu abang Mus, my photographer sampai...kuar masuk McDonalds nak resist the temptation. Finally couldn't, but settled for an apple pie and corn in a cup. Sampai je nampak ramai ler orang kat set. Aksi malam ni adalah nak feeling golekkan keta ke dalam longkang yang ala ala cam sungai da. Amik ko...berapa kali meka take. Slow motion...jangan ingat dalam pilem golek keta tuh all the way down tuh one take. Tu Hollywood je ok. Sini mangsa keta satu je...so take sekali tuh kena manfaatkan ler sepenuhnya. Tengah take ni aku sempat amik pic ler. Tapi rasanya sebab meka tak sampai separuh jalan mau golekka keta tuh ke dalam sungai, esok je remainder of the pics. Sempat interview abang Bade, and had a nice talk with Gaya (yes, you gurl!) about Puaka Tebing Biru which I didn't find too interesting (you think??!!!) Still sometimes betul gak aku ni overanalyse something, thus rendering the inability to enjoy it kan... Dalam erti kata lain, aku ni jenis kekadang nak nilai sesuatuh tu too much sampai aku tak nampak the big picture ler kan. Which is sometimes what you need to enjoy the pic. Still aku tak tarik balik apa aku cakap pasal banyak kelemahan yang ada dalam Puaka Tebing Biru. Tapi kan...memang aku da kata, and I also stand by what I said, which is Syaitan is quite good, in fact one of the more intelligent movies of the year, despite a few shortcomings. Anyway....had fun ngan abang Bade. He is quite an impressive person. Practical and yet sort of insightful in his own way. I also notice he absorbs what everone has to say like a sponge.... signs of a truely intelligent person. Eh ok ler...sebelum aku berundur, nak kongsi sikit nasihat tuk adik adik yang berangan nak feel star. Eh lain lak terasa kan... Ni tuk meka yang mabuk glamer...oops...lain lak yang terasa lagik. I mean mereka yang rasa glamer ni the best way out of their mundane lives. Damn...I did it again. Ok...let me reword it...pada adik adik yang rasa jalan senang nak berjaya is by acting ke singing ke wat apa saja janji popular, bukan senang dik oi. Nampak je glamer.....ketiak masam (oops), badan berlengas... dok kat lokasi bukan senang tau.

Tengok ler contohnya....ni da tengah masa time aku update, sempat ler aku snap pic Nana yang erm... begitu tekun kerja sambil tunggu production team preparekan keta yang nak meka tunggang terbalikkan. Tak tahan gelak...dalam tidur tersedar lak si Nana, sempat carut aku...pastu libas rambut sekali and then sambung tidur. And we lost her from there to malaikat tidur...ader ker? Sambil dok lepak ramai-ramai....sempat ler sembang sok sek sana sin iabout this and that. I seriously have high hopes for Malaikat Maut, sebab pas cakap ngan abang bade, aku yakin konsep cita ni leh jual. Abang Bade wat style Twilight Zone, ngan tiga citer yang lain, tapi ngan basic underlying aim tu sama. To kind of display mortality...yang kita ni sebagai manusia, leh dipanggil bebila. Really simple, but interesting premise as far as I can tell. While we were chatting...distracted sat because there was this cutest kitten tidur kat bawah kerusi abang Bade. Sempat lak iklan katanya nak tunjuk pic kitty ni yang memang comel, curled up in the cold. Cam Nana lak...merasalah aku kena carut agik ngan Nana pasni. Ampun dearie...you know aku sayang ko. I really would love to update panjang lagi, tapi battery da low (akibat biarkan laptop on nak download abih Heroes sebab leh tompang unsecured network kat sini)...so esok jer lah aku upload more pics. Setakat ni yang mampu aku transfer and upload this pics of cast yang terlibat. Ni last shooting sebelum nak wrap. Ni for the third story. Terlibat include, Nana, Awal, Que dan Sherry. The last scene meka nak shoot ni, aksi konon nya bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ni feeling party, last last mabuk dan sebagainya, keta yang di bak tergolek masuk longkang (yang aku tetap maintain cam sungai). Time aku tulis ni meka still setting up cameras (dua bijik melekat kat keta) one on the bonnet, one attached to the back window...and one more static if I'm not mistaken. Eh...ok ler..enjoy these pics first. Kang aku update esok. Ni pun entah sampai kol brapa ni....
Note : Kalau nak tengok pics dari orang yang balik awal - CLICK HERE untuk blog Budiey.
Pics masing masing tengah make-up. Si Awal nakutkan tul muka dia. Bebudak ni kisahnya ala ala gothic ler. Si Nana tu baru nak feeling manicure...merasalah time nak start shoot baru nak cat kuku katanya. Anyway...pic ni diamik sebelom dia membuta kejap. as in the earlier picture.
Arini nak review sikit Puaka Tebing Biru. It was long, it was draggy, they didn't seem to have a clue how to edit it, and the horrific thing yang Umie Aida becomes, resembles Jim Carrey from The Mask, except with a fteish for toes. Eeeeewww!!! Entahlah...seriously I did put a lot of expectation in Osman Ali's work sebab aku tau hasil kerja dia. But I suppose sebab ni first full length feature film dia so ok ler....aku nak kriitik pepanjang...rasa tak adil lak. Sebab walaupun aku rasa lemau sikit (banyak actually kecuali cinematography jer ok), tapi ada colleague aku si Aqidah kata dia tiga ari tiga malam mengigil takut nak berak kencing dan sebagainya sebab teringat pilem tu (of course she is alos prone to exaggeration) So instead of a direct review as promised, aku akan go on my famous lists of why you should watch and why you shouldnt watch the movie. Remember this is not a comprehensive list. Pepandai ler korang tengok sendiri dan nilaikan.
10 Why you SHOULDN'T watch Puaka Tebing Biru 1. Kalau ko pernah tonton Nang Nak - too many resemblances, except Nang Nak was good. In other words... no originality. Even hantu dia pun ala ala Ju On meets Nang Nak and a touch of The Ring. 2. Plot banyak lobang - cam si Umie punya character. Nama kawan baik tapi scare Nasha punya character half to death...pastu bila jumpa hanya bagitau Nasha minta restu ibu dia....er....wasn't she going to do that before you scared the shit out of her. Korang tengok paham ler. 3. Character development zero. Ko tak rasa persahabatan antara Umi dan Nasha (art imitates life ke?) Character Fahrin lak cam beriyaelak kawin tetiba love sampai mati katanya. Keji....suka ati jer tuko jalan cita 4. Continuity dan realism takde langsung. Dok apartment mewah ala penthouse gitu, tapi ada loteng beratap zink, Jalan nak balik ke rumah Nasha yang ala ala KL Sentral lak ikut jalan utan ala Kenny Hills (memang Kenny Hills pun kata Gaya). And shall we mention laptop sponsor yang di pakai Nasha hanya nak taip se ayat dua yang takyah caj berapa lama pun leh tahan battery dia? 5. Costume direction cam $%^&*. Rumah usang nak mampos bertahun tinggalkan tapi perkakas semua lengkap ok! Amik ko...make up effects failed big time sebab nampak cam Halloween lak. And I mean Toys R' Us punya Halloween ok. 6. Apa watak si Corinne Adrienne tuh? No character developement tapi nak banyakkan watak nak complicate kan lak. In that vein...there were unnecessary characters that took too much space, and could have been used for more development. By the way, she is the worst in the movie, as her acting is as good as watching a stationary object. About the same quotient of emotion. 7. Trying to be too artsy at the wrong time. Most of the scenes were well shot and would have made for a nice coffee table book...but they didn't contribute to the movie. 8. Someone forgot to edit it! Filem tu bertahan selama 2 jam dan 7 minit. Itupun aku dengar meka da potong 40 minit. Keji ok....ko ingat epik??? Then treat it like one ler... 9. Pretencious. Makes you think kononnya, but in more ways than one, it was a n-brainer. In fact if you actually thought about it, you would have laughed your head off. 10. If you're looking for a horror...this is not it. Hardly in fact. Too much drama...too little horror.
10 reasons why you SHOULD watch Puaka Tebing Biru 1. If you like watching Fahrin topless and bathing in what almost seems like slow motion but isn't. A tad too cheesy and semi-porno for me. (in other words, if you like men) 2. If you like watching women hug and tough each other in what seems seriously lesbian (rasanya tu ler tujuan meka wujudkan watak Corinne yang muncul tetiba) (in other words if you like women) 3. If you like watching Fahrin getting jiggy with Umie Aida (if you like straight relationships) 4. If you have a fetish for toes (yuck! though I know some wouldn't mind biting at Fahrin's toes) 5. If you don't really care about logic. 6. Small dirty kids terrify you, as do dirty unashed and unkempt women who seem to place a lot of emphasis on hair care. (your money's worth la masa tuh) 7. If you like Jim Carrey masa dia berlakon The Mask. She looks more or less like that....except I think The Mask was more scary. 8. Kalau selama ni ko ingin bercuti ke Pulau Pangkor dan tak kesempatan tapi sanggup bergembira ngan pemandangan yang ditunjukkan. 9. If you love Nasha Aziz and Sharifah Amani (and a little bit of Fahrin) like I do. By the way, tuk aku, Nasha dan Wan Maimunah paling meletop dalam filem ni. Yang lain average to bloody papan. 10. If you have RM10 to spare, and you really want to do something to support the Malaysian film industry.
Ok so the reasons weren't all that great...but then again neither was the movie overall. I would say it's a waste of money to even watch....and yes, kalau ada sapa nak carut "but you don't pay", I do, because kalau aku suka movie tuh, aku akan tengok sekali lagik or more depending on how much I like it where Iwill pay for the ticket to support it. But don't take my word for it...tengok la kalao nak gamble korang on whether you guys will like it or not. Apapun...poster lebih menakutkan daripada the actual film...pada meka yang kecut sikit tengok fiem horror...dan cepat pengsan dan melatah....this is the movie for you. Too mild for me. Just a little bit of extra info pada yang nak tau, here's the credit and cast list untuk Puaka Tebing Biru.

Apapun, I'd like to thank Gaya (ampun mencarut), Anita (love you babe...) and the rest of the Tayangan Unggul family for the invitation and the opportunity to blog. Walaupun mencarut, aku harap ni diterima sebagai kritikan yang honest as honest can be ya. Apapun, am looking forward to Osman's next movie hoping it'll be better. Apapun sebelum kita end entry ni, aku ada a little trivia untuk korang. Tengok gambar kat bawah. Yang mana satu Umie Aida dalam Puaka Tebing Biru. That's easy isn't it...the one wearing poster colour and a bad wig....sheesh! I think Jim Carrey seriously lebih menakutkan.

Baru abih event, kat Starbucks tengah send story, sambil hantar tuh update ler pasal semalam punya event preview PuakaTebing Biru. It was fun, tapi korang nak aku review, tunggu ler dulu ek. Sebab tak gemar sangat sebenarnya. But it wasn't as good as I hoped, though still kira ok gak ler. The best part was meeting kak Nasha (lama tak jumpa kakak aku nih!) and Nani with kak Fati. Ah...kalau korang nak tau, memang bab gossip kata Nani nak kena botak by Yasmin Ahmad, memang betul. Tapi lum agik ler. Kang kalao dia botak kang, aku post kan pics dia tengah dibotakkan ala Mawi. Cadang pakai pisau nombor dua tuh...takder ler licin, tapi kira GI Jane Demi Moore punya style ler. Esok aku review ek pilem tuh tuk korang nilaikan lak. But pandangan aku ler...tatau ler korang stuju ke tak kang korang tengok. Filem tuh bukak kat panggung tak silap aku 18 Febuari, so banyak ler time agik nak update bab tuh. For today, aku focus pics dulu ek.Ramai lak kawan kawan yang hadir. Seronok lak. Hah...sapa yang belajar UiTM Shah Alam, mai aku perkenalkan dua orang dalam pic belah kiri ni. Dak Mass Comm. Yang pakai tudung tuh Aqidah, stringer untuk The Malay Mail. Yang sebelah dia tuh balak dia si Ifwan, penah practical ngan The Malay Mail, skang ngan Berita Harian...dak freshie...leh ragging. Hah...tatau ler lampu tutup tu gatal ke tak...jangan Kid...aku dok belakang ko ni (warning dulu tau!) Anyway masa nak start tayangan Puaka Tebing Biru ni...amik ko. Entah pontianak ke kuntilanak enam ekor ni siap catwalk dan kemudian feeling nari sana sini. Drama sangat! Aiyak....tak scary...cuma kelakar. I think they didn't need such an intro la. Tapi yang besh dengar cita Syazwan tadi. One of the dak yang jadi antu tuh, masa start pilem, dok sebelah dia sebab tau Syazwan horror sikit. Hah! Amik ko...padahal...sebelum tuh...dia yang beriya kata orang istimewa dia tak datang sebab benci cita antu dan kecut bab nak horror film ni. Hah...huum karma kena balik!!! (gelak evil ni!) And then, the other incident lak, si Syed (manager Erra Fazira) dok sebelah aku. Cita ni slow sangat sampai tahap tak sampai setengah jam, si Syed leh...TERTIDUR! And if that wasn't bad enough, siap DENGKUR (ampun Web sebab kutuk ko, tapi aku da kata aku akan ngumpat kat blog kan!) Aku kejutkan dia....tak sampai 30 saat da tertidur complete ngan dengkur again. Berapa kali aku kena kejutkan dia...last last dia kuar sat (konon nak amik angin) and then ilang terus. Jumpa dia pun pas movie abih kat luar panggung. Keji tau! Anyway, pas abih movie...sempat ler catch up ngan Nasha and kak Fati ngan Nani agik sambung ngumpat. Kak Fati and Nani janji call aku kang nak botakkan rambut si Nani. Tak sabar sabar aku lak...ni some of the poses for my camera yang meka sempat. Sempat amik pic Umie...yang pegang co-lead punya role opposite Nasha and Fahrin, tapi tak sempat amik pic Erra yang datang bagik sokongan moral kat Umie sebab aku sibuk ngumpat pasal the movie sangat. Oh by the way...pada meka yang suka gossip...si Linda Onn pun ada tau bagi sokongan moral kat Fahrin. Kawan ek...no komen. Tengok pic bawah..Linda nak sembunyi konon. Keji kan...sorry ek Linda ngumpat. I love you babe!!! Saja nak ngumpat. Tak de gossip tak best kan...lagik pun, kan ko kata 'just friends je'..(matilah aku kena hamun ngan Linda pasni - ampun sayang!!!) Ahh....dah.. ni some of the pics.
Umie beriya on the phone ni. Pot pet ngan sapa lak pun tatau. Kak Fati sempat posing cute tuk aku. My big sister Nasha and Nani wat muka seposen tayang rambut dia yang akan takde tak lama lagik.
Pose ayu je Nasha. Er...Nani pose istimewa tuk blog aku nih. Tapi...pose haper tuh korek idong! Keji...love you Nani! Linda nak cover line kot tanak aku amik pic dia tuk blog. And finally...the three divas of Puaka Tebing Biru.
Now moving on to today, sampai je kat JW Marriot, tunggu ler kat lobby. Minah Star World yang janji nak jemput ke Presidential Suite tak muncul muncul. Then Syazwan Kosmo! muncul, and then Emma dari HAI! Last last si Syazwan call sana call sini, mamat Star World sorang ni lak turun jemput. Seb baik lum start. Sempat ler discuss ngan semua yang hadir tuk Puaka Tebing Biru. Everyone agreed on the same stuff, which was basically it was bad character developement, bad editing...among others. Cuma yang leh dipuji cinematography and a commendable effort for art direction. Eh..ter review lak...kang ada yang tak dapat cari makan. Anyways....tunggu punya tunggu (takde ler lama sangat) Siti muncul pas abih interview (dengar ngan Kompas Indonesia dan New paper dan Berita Harian dari Singapore) Anyways...kalao korang nak tau, ingat ek. Make a date. Siti kan akan hadir Grammy awards sebab menang dua tiket kat Breakfast with the Stars tahun lepas. So dia bukan je akan hadir event tuh, sekali ngan jalan red carpet...Siti akan menghadiri post party yang di anjurkan Sony BMG kat sana. Kalau nak tengok tengok Siti muncui, don't forget theThe 49th Annual Grammy Awards airs live on Monday, 12 Feb at 9am ngan repeat prime time special on the same day at 8pm on Star World. Perjalanan Siti dari airport, to the red carpet, to an exclusive post-party hosted by recording label Sony BMG, akan dirakam dan ditayangkan kat Channel [V]'s Popparazzi on Thursday, 22 and 26 Feb at 6pm.
Beberapa pose Siti yang cantik, ayu, cun melecun. Tima kasih Siti sebab posing tuk blog aku nih. Jangan tatau...Siti baca tau (nak bukti ker? - matilah sebab tu tak berani mencarut ko kata?!!! Takdeler....kita tak gaduh kan Siti? Gelak dalam ati jer ler...)
Alamak...nak upload entry nih pun berejam nak update sebab sibuk download Heroes semua.line cam sial. Tambah agik nak upload gambar lak asik problem. Ok ler...nak sambung sesi kaunseling sat. Esok lagik satu entry...pasal review Puaka Tebing Biru lak ek. Good night...
Wow...gila babs punya letih ari ni. The work has been piling up. So malas sikit nak update. Kejap lagik pas abih kerja, nak gegas ke MidValley Megamall untuk malam gala Puaka Tebing Biru. I have high expectations for the movie because am familiar ngan hasil kerja Osman Ali. Aku kenal Osman dari pertengahan 90an sebab aku melibatkan diri dengan kerja sukarela dengan sebuah NGO. And I'm impressed with the way he thinks and how he perceives certain things. So besh gila la nak tengok how Puaka Tebing Biru will turn out. Lepak kat Starbucks ni nak send in a story, sambil update blog (dan download saki baki siri Heroes melalui P2P) sambil tunggu start event. Teringat lak...alamak! Lupa bak kuar belt nak pulangkan kat Mawi. Mak aih...heh...jangan...aku tanak wat harta. Kang pulangkan lak. Janji aku da opening ceremony ek, botak belt D&G ko (merasalah kena carut dia tanak pakai sebab da repeat performance time tuh) Sambil tengah rajin wat keja ni, si Khai lalu. Dia dulu acting head of Malay programming, and skang in charge of Astro Prima. Sempat ler bual sementara sebelum kembali habiskan kerja. Tengah taip ngan gigih ni, ada sorang pompuan singgah kat meja aku. Tried speaking to me in Cantonese and Mandarin, both of which aku memang gagal. Yerlah...dari dulu kena perli Cina murtad...bahasa ibunda sendiri pun tatau konon. Hakikatnya, Chinese ni banyak dialect, and the dialect aku tau is Hokkien, which is used more up north sperti Penang dan Kedah, dan belah selatan cam Johor. In central region however, aku kena perli je sebab majoriti pakai dialect lain. Anyway, rupanya minah tu nak mintak donation. Merasalah ko...sempat dia laser tunjuk kat kotak Marlboro aku, katakan, "daripada ko bunoh diri ngan isap rokok, baik derma." Hangin aku satu badan. Nak minta derma ke nak kutuk aku. So aku pun bagik ler sedas sekali. I think she was kind of caught off guard and explained that this senior citizens home needed diapers. Tergerak lak ati aku...so part with some cash. Yerlah...benda camni..kita nak kedekut kenapa. Benda camni I always believe that no matter what...karma karma karma. One good turn deserves another...blah blah blah. Rezeki kita akan lebih murah kan...so I've had an extremely good turn lately, so aku pun without hesitation. Makes me feel good lak... Alamak...da lewat...korang enjoy je la pics ni semua. Aku esok upload pics and cita dari malam gala Puaka Tebing Biru. Oh dan esok ada sesi ngan Siti lak sebab bab dia gi Grammy. So meanwhile, enjoy the pics from Anugerah Bintang Popular agik ek. Pemenang dan beberapa gambar pilihan. Enjoy...until tomorrow's entry...
Tahniah semua pemenang di Anugerah Bintang Popular 2006!
And of course my tribute to Siti Nurhaliza!
And juga Mawi...
Dan akhir sekali fesyen terkini konsep bunga plastik gedabak
Music is beautiful, no matter what language it is in. It transcends the boundaries of race, religion, and even that of a geographical nature. Here's my list of songs from Indonesian pop and rock acts that are on my playlist, some of which are my all time favorites. Some old, some new and some just bloody timeless. Enjoy the sounds and listen beyond the music and the words - and instead tune into the emotions of each tune. No matter what genre they may be.
Say NO! to the hateful and malicious nature of some who choose to close our local music market for fear of competition simply because they are unable to compete, and unwilling to even try.
Support Malaysian music. Don't kill it by being ignorant. Music is ever evolving, and our local sound is slowing being rendered irrelevant. This is my protest against those who choose to be anti-Indonesian music, simply because SOME of our local talents and recording outfits are too lazy to innovate and create. This is the sound of Indonesia today. Are we up for the challenge to evolve and produce better music in healthy competition?
WHAT I'M ON
KLUBBKIDD
So...just what do you want to know about me?
I'm simple, and yet complicated.
It's as simple as that...but then again, perhaps not.
My life is kinda like my job, an oxymoron. Try this one out for size...'ethical journalist'. See, told you so.
Anyway, here's a brief (yeah right!) intro to my life.
I'm a proud Malaysian (and I mean literally!), of Chinese descent. I'm Christian (Roman Catholic!).
I'm kinda whacked. I believe in piercings, dyed hair, black nails, silver studs. leather and spiked accessories and oh... tattoos...body art is just that...art. Apart from anything else that will make me worth staring at.
Right now, I have a total of seven piercings (three on lobes - two left one right, left ear cartilage, nose, lower lip and tongue) with three taken out on brow (one ripped) as well as three tattoos with more to come.
Forget the tough exterior, cause I believe in hugging my parents, crying when I feel like it, require tender moments with my significant other, and I appreciate my friends. As Kim from America's Next Top Model said it best. "What's my secret? I may look tough on the outside, but really, I scream like a girl!"
Fictional?
I 32 as of last July 17, and it's past the mid life crisis come early for me as I struggled to deal with the coming of age thing. I am working as a freelance senior entertainment journalist, a job which I have been at ever since I decided to quit college, two subjects short of graduating. I was taking my Diploma In Sound and Audio Engineering. Until recently that is.
Now I do a lot of freelance overall talent consultancy which includes image and communication. I am also in the process of starting my own company klubbkidd Sdn Bhd, which is producing its first TV show from a format that I have created myself. The show will most likely be on air sometime end 2008.
I have donelive sound production for some concerts and shows and a little bit of studio work in hopes of becoming a sound engineer with what I've studies, when I turned back to my first love, writing.
Was doing general news, specialized awhile in politics, did a little features, crime, business and sports and dabbled in related journalism fields before finally settling into my current position, thankfully, entertainment, the perks of which is doing what I've always loved (writing and indulging in music) and also backstage passes to meet my favorite acts. It's eleven years now, and I'm still golding it there.
Looking back - whatever's gone on in my life - it's not too hard to be positive and look ahead, with more pleasant of the memories to make the journey a little easier.
And these very memories which I cherish so, are the reasons behind why I started blogging.
The friendships and variety of relationships I've been through, allow me to highlight the mistakes I've made and how not to repeat them, not to compromise my principles too much for love, and also a balance in sacrificing my ego, and how I must learn to be stronger in the face of adversity.
So I've never figured myself to be a real hoot.I pace on day by day, occasionally skipping, sometimes with just a little jaunty bounce. More often than not, I go smack! either on my rear end (which needs more meat) or flat on my face.Life treats me well, I suppose, so I shouldn't gripe. I am stll my own hero - that's positivity through self-affirmation for you.
