24.

well - what do you know? it is the week of my Birthday. i will be *that much closer to yet another milestone that is 25. how exciting.

i've decided to post a little update. i've been a busy little bee for sure.

since my final paper on June 9th, i've picked up dancing at KLPac. i've finished one of my stories (finally!). i've been working *almost daily at TNT and picked up on my training again too (body is feeling it now).

besides those daily stuff - i've also decided on what to do with the rest of my life. at least, i've decided on what to *try first lah. and what may that be? you might ask.

i've decided that i want to be a PRODUCER. i will start with TV but i want to get to a point when i have the ability and know-how to produce anything from theatre, radio, tv and etc. i want to be someone who would be able to conceptualise new shows, combining all sorts of elements to blow people out of their socks.

yes, i've decided that i will take that plunge into the 'entertainment' industry. so now, i'm not just working on trying to get in front of the camera, but i will also learn to be behind the camera.

i've spoken with many, many people thus far in trying to strategise how i will go about realising my dream. i've travelled as far as Singapore to even discuss a *possible stint working there.

and at this point, i have a basic idea of what i want to do and also how to go about doing it.

i suppose in that sense, the goals i set for myself when i left form6 5 years ago is coming to fruition. although, methinks me plans is running a year behind schedule.

so yeah. :)

WISHLIST! WISHLIST!

anyway - speaking of years - my birthday is this week! (haha - shameless!)

for those of you in the country, i am thinking of having another one of my 'oh-so-famous' house parties this friday night. so, look forward to a mass text or email soon. or if not, just call me lah and i'll invite you (hehe - i can't be calling everyone right?!)

and in case you're wondering what to get me as a b'day present - here's a random order (SHAMELESS) wish-list ...

1. Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series: as some of you may be aware, i've developed a new liking towards these graphic novels (or some of you might just refer to them as 'more expensive comics'). some of you may also know that Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite writers. i've bought "Preludes & Nocturnes" which is the first of the Sandman series.

and i would love to have more of the collection - "Doll's House", "Dream Country", "Season of Mists", "A Game of You", "Fables & Reflections", "Brief Lives", "Worlds' End", "The Kindly Ones", "The Wake" and "Endless Nights".

and "The Death Stories" look really interesting too.

2. next, anything that i could add to my recent BIG purchase aka my 30 gig iPod. the price of iPod accessories are killer man.

so anything (related) would be cool - :) hehe. (this is really so shameless).

check out iPod accessories for what i'm talking about. there's stuff like the "Radio Remote", "The Leather Case", "The Universal Dock", the "AV Connection Kit", "The Apple Remote" etc.

but what i could really use is the transparent skin you normally see people use. i think they go for about rm49. *Grin.

what's really cool is "FM Transmitter & Charger for iPod & iPod mini". but this one quite de expensive lah - i think there are cheaper variations of a FM transmitter for the iPod so that i can listen to mine on my car radio.

3. my Guitar - i want to perform more open mic sessions in the coming future. i've been meaning to installing a pick-up on my guitar so that i can hook my guitar up to an amp but have never gotten round to it simply due to lack of funds. :)

4. anything to do with THE CROW i collect all that is THE CROW anyway - thus far, i've got an 18 inch kick-ass 'motion-sensoring-voice-activated' crow figurine. i also have The Crow Original Graphic Novel and The Crow Shattered Lives & Broken Dreams.

there are more Crow Comics and other Crow Novels that i'd like to add to my collection (very hard to source out here in M'sia though OR at least i don't know where to look lah).


ok lah - i think that's enough of my humble (shameless) wishlist.

i'm out.

yay you've hopped on the gaiman bandwagon! i am back in KL at the end of july, i'll see what gaiman-related stuff i can dig up to show you (although i refuse to loan any of my stuff that he's signed, heh). hope you're enjoying your freedom from exams!
