I is singing - for real!

X
I is the singing again (as stated in 'And SING again I shall'). Thought I'd put up the poster. I'm on a poster. That hasn't gotten old for me.

LOL.

So, do drop by and support me if you have the time. Call and book if you can though cause places are limited.

Day 1 & Day 2 done.

If you have read "The Director in Me", you would know that I have decided to make a short and enter the BMW Shorties competition. Here's a brief summary of what has happened with the whole process thus far.

- After all that brainstorming with Anrie and Davina - I eventually came up with a strong idea.

- Met up with Nick, Jeremy and Amy (my initial Editor) at Coffee Bean in SS2 - discussed further. At this point, I had only scripted Scene 1 and Scene 2 of my short.

- Amy pulled out of the team because she has too much work to deal with - I should know - I see her working her ass off at the office everyday.

- But nevermind, I have faith in Nick. He's one talented bugger.

- I went for the BMW Shorties workshop.

- Managed to get feedback on my script from Gregory Wee and James Lee - both are Judges in the competition.

- Met up with whole crew (Nick, Anrie, Davina, Jeremy) at SS2 McD's - sorted out schedules and duties.

- Bought some EQ - then myself, Anrie, Nick and Jeremy went to recce some locations.

- Yesterday - we shot Scene 2. Went rather smooth for the first time out.

- Everything is set at night. So, it's always going to be tough.

- Today, was tough as hell. Shot Scene 1 - indoors, Anrie's attic - very intense but also smooth enough. I got the best out of Davina.

- Then we went out to shoot Scene 5 around Hartamas between Davina and Colin. Tough. Very tough. Rain. Traffic. Lighting. Everything was a problem.

- Hopefully we got all the shots we needed and we can use all of them.

And thats a very brief brief. :)

I'm out.
p/s: To my cast an crew! You guys are 'da bomb!!!!' - also, We Jun - thanks for stopping by and helping with Scene 1 man ... I really appreciate it.
 

And SING again I shall.

Dearest Friends,  

I'll be singing again - in another open mic which is going to be headlined by the amazing Mia Palencia. The group organising it will be the same people who deal with her sessions too. And this is the 2nd time they are doing it - and if the first one that I attended last December was anything to go by (also at NO BLACK TIE) - then it will most likely be one of the biggest crowds I've ever played - to date. (My own songs mind you.) 

I'd love it if my own friends were amongst that huge crowd - to lend me some support when they call on my name to go on stage! *Grin.

Interior View - but the car I might get will have black leather and not red.

My Citroen ZX is now officially sold. Today will be the last day I'll be driving it. As happy as I am about getting another car - I have grown more attached to my ZX than I thought. I will be sad to see it go. sigh...

Oh well ... stay tuned - will be putting more in this post eventually.

My 1st time.

Shit!

I just wrote a long ass post about my first ever stand-up act. And it got all deleted! I hate it when that happens!

Anyway, this is the gist of what I wrote. I'm glad I decided to take the risk. The high I'm still feeling right now due to the adrenaline rush I had on stage is amazing.

So, for those of you who came to support me - I thank you. You have no idea how much it meant to me to have all of you there.

For those of you who missed it - do not fret - if this high is anything to go by - I'll definitely be doing it again one day.

I'm out.

Interested to be a M'sian APPRENTICE?

As mentioned in an earlier post "Being a PA / Kickboxing Instructor / etc.", I'm working on a 3rd Reality show. It is now OK to reveal what that show is. It's called THE FIRM (and can be described as a Malaysian APPRENTICE).

Currently, our Donald Trump equivalent (ie our CEO) is still a secret but rest assured the prizes which could include attracttive cash prizes, potentially a car, a job opportunity with our 'secret CEO's company' and loads more (I'm still working on the prizes).

I am thinking that you can't lose much by just sending in an application and seeing if you can get in. By that time, the prizes and CEO can be revealed to you and if you feel like its not worth it - you can always just decline to be on the show.

General Sypnosis: The Firm is a corporate reality television programme in search of the next Malaysian corporate high-flier. The Firm attempts to weed out the weak from the strong, the underachievers from the overachievers and the followers from the leaders.

Through a nationwide search, 10 young up-and-coming professionals (male and female) between the ages of 21 and 35 are selected to join The Firm. In addition to measuring success via quantity achievements, the winner is selected based on qualitative factors (ie. Business ethics, moral values and best practice).

After various tasks and assignments, the best candidates will be left to compete with one another, until one who has outshined the rest wins. The winner walks away with attractive prizes. The Firm plans to reflect what the real world of business is like ? tough, demanding, ruthless, and full of temptations to carry out unethical business practices and ignore moral values (short cut to success). It will be exciting and fast-paced. The Firm will galvanise the entrepreneurial spirit of Malaysian youth .

Visit http://www.ntv7.com.my/thefirm/ for more info and application forms. The closing date for applications is JAN 26th.

So please spread the word with much haste! :)

Feel free to leave a comment here if you have any questions.

That's it. Before I sign off - hope y'all had a superb New Year celebration!
