STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

Long absence from blogging again.

Argh.

Just havent got the time to sit myself down and write on impulse cause everytime i stare at a blank document a million things flash tru my insides and i end up not ever knowing where to start.

okokok. will attempt to compose and enunciate:

Firstly,

I have finally set up a partnership with the (in)famously voluptuous Tsu Ann.

thats her nagging the helpless counter kakak not to waste our time
and get it done now or else.

i am indeed honoured and overwhelmed that this feisty young lady would agree to take this leap of faith with me.

details of our company will be proudly proclaimed soon!

It's something that we've always wanted to start and by taking the step away from our office jobs, we have directly thrown ourselves into the deep end of the sharkpool.

I pray we eventually develop anti-shark Adamantium claws.

Also, I hope she shows me her boobs soon.

With that came our 1st official job.

and with this, the pics do the talking.

its for a new 8TV show

we love 8TV

and we luv Henry Golding.

so whats not to be joyous and drunk about?

see?

someone's celebrating early.

DESPERATE HOUSEWORK

work i recently completed.

i like the flying slowmosummersault apple at the end.

and the part where NEWsance magically morphs to NUIsance.

gedit gedit?

you're smart.

i know you gedit.

SHOTS FROM SHOOTS

More shots of pain from work hell.

checkout my director-face mode.
donts i look diabolically professional?

Stress.
But fun.

Could not have done it without the very experienced people around coaxing me to pay attention to the minor annoying details that one shouldnt miss-out.
i am nothing la really. Would be an epic fail without these people around me.

The completed promo should be on air by now.
if you actually watch normal free earthling TV la i mean.

btw.
thank you Jeremy.
Hope u had tonz of funz. (despite the waiting and re-taking and makeuping and waking up so damn friggin early and more waiting)
Nah. this is for you.

hehe.

THE WHORELIDAYS ARE HERE

And obviously i am not in a position to enjoy em.

So rather than sulk in self pity of the whatnots and wherebys that i would not be able to indulge in, here is this month's Newbies which i completed in... err....3 days?

i think.

The timeline gets so screwed up sometimes i lose track of what im suppose to do.

was experimenting with fast cuts graphics instead of super smooth ones

that fly in and fly off like we usually do.

MOTH MAN

I experimented with moths in my latest work project.

Did u see the the lil winged wankers flappin their melancholic colours of depression and lost hope?

Did you see the shredded wings descend down like empty promises at "darkness"?

Yar.
i like those.

SHOUT FOR HELP

workshit.







constructed for the SHOUT Awards promo campaign.

JUST SHOOT ME

Co-directed a shoot yesterday.
T'was a Merdeka promo campaign that required a hellota props, shitload of on-the-spot improv and precise timing for movements.

fatiguely tiring.

Was supposed to end by 6pm.

Ended at bladi 11.

Argh.

All i can say is, you can never have too much planning for shoots.

I have to admit that i did not have the proper planning for this one due to the fact that shit is shat everywhere and everyone steps on them once in awhile and groans in agony and curses the world when it happens and there's nuthin' yo can do 'boutit really but go home and cry to mummy.

Now i understand how some movies are re-written and re-done and re-written again and again before they get that proper kickstart overdrive.

I was crackin my head trying to piece the 874237432840834 jigsaw puzzle together for weeks before finally settling with something close to my liking.

And even that i wasnt completely satisfied.

Budget wise, bosses were hammering 1 single message into our heads during meetings:

Kiamsapz.

I was also not prepared for the unforeseen circumstances that befell us when a whole memory card's raw footages were tragically deleted by someone from the crew. We were forced to re-shoot a handful of scenes because of this mishap. Bummerz.

talents getting cozy under the sheets.

To add salt, there was another separate crew that was scheduled to built a new set for another shoot at the very same location that same night immediately after our shoot (which was scheduled to end at 6) and we had tonnes more to cover.

therefore, you get yourself the perfect Kodak moment of chaos:

- improper planning.
- cheap-ass budget.
- killertight schedule

- lackness of manpower.

- amateur experience.
- other crews standing around cock eye-ing us with crossed arms impatiently tapping frustfeet on floor for us to wrap up so they can proceed with THEIR set up

picture it yet?

the frantic faces,
the tension in the air,
the zombified crew.

the pullinghair me.

CAN PICTURE OR NOT!??!?!

cheering on our producer to clean faster.
Que you-missed-a-spot joke.

Oh well.
Live and learn.

Hopefully after the cleaning up in post, things will look up.
Keeping fingers crossed.

MY 0.05 secs OF FAME

Careful.
Blink and you'll miss it.

Thanks for not blinking.

CNY ALREADY

It's not even Christmas and already some weird CNY shizz about to breakout soon.

Hand drawn by ur's truly.
To be used as props in a music video shoot next week.
Lets see how that turns out.
if all goes well u should be seeing these lil babies being fondled and caressed on national TV.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Oh. And while i was attending to nature's call.
The darkcorner aka indian macha neighbour's hands got itchy.

I came back and found THIS written on my innocent halfdrawn 扇子.

it doesnt look like one lo if u ask me.
Dunno wat indians thinking nowadays. -__-

Oh yeah.
And happy Belated Bday GobySoon.

May Marbles shine bright on u fo eva and eva.

RAYA GREETINGS

多多指教。

YOU'RE WELCOME, AHLIAN

Was spring cleaning the office PC and backing up files (cuz god knows if it decides to hang and cause me shit again my head is as good as rolling off the chopping block with Elea holding the axe with an effed up smirk on her face) when i came across the bits and bloops of the December Newbies we did with Sarah Lian last year.

SwooSwen helping Sarah out with the wardrobe where it matters.
Oh. and yeah. They were eating. In that room.
Yes. They were not suppose to.
You didn't hear it from me.

And being the kind kind soul i was,
and also the fact tat Sarah was so nice to us during the shoot,
and also the fact tat i think there were some pretty damn funny outtakes,
i compiled and sent em to the lilmui for her keeps sake before forever removing them from the face of my 300G office HD.

Me behind.
She in front.
The camera i mean.

Nah.

Visit her blog to see the full extend of my assistance to her la.

Sorry that i couldn't do anything about the bust enlargement bit that you kept begging asking for, Sarah.
I know. Bad me.
I deserve a good spanking.

Peace yo.

ANOTHER FINALE TONIGHT

One In A Million season 3 FINALE tonight @ Shah Alam Stadium Malawati.
Will be there to spectate and occasionally clap. Possibly make a slight cheer or two.

Here are some backdated shots from the time when we were shooting the promo for the top12.
Couldnt upload then due to the whole P&C factor but now that i can, i will and i have.

Supasta make up room.

Supalightings in the background.

the bigger picture of the set.

And there's my face telling Simon to work his mojo for the cam.

the 360 scene with green matte.

All of which eventually lead to the completion of THIS. THIS and THIS.
Nowhere near as canggih as the other super pro special fx/motion graphic studios around.
But. oh well.

Keeping fingers crossed that Esther gets it but i have a feeling Tomok will win.

TAITAIDAY

First there was this....

Now there is THIS....

Recorded in absolute randomness during Lynday & Hamster's Bday @ our Rainbow Pelangi kreeb.

~

We just celebrated Jere's bday with awkward family stares, livingroom steamboat & after-party Street Fighter 4 till my thumbs hurt, so the videos above are for the fella who was in THIS commercial...

...as well as THIS...




Happy Taiday.

FELLOWSHIPPING & FORNICATING

Merry Christmas peeps!

Potluck in the office was supadupa fun.
Food and fools galore.

We were told to prepare food and i was semangated to prepare something hands-on...
so being the expert chef i was, i contributed the item that i loved consuming the most among all luxury eadibles...

Fried Chicken!
Woohooo...

It was my 2nd attemp ever at preparing this fine dish so i was pretty hyped.
Actually got up @ 7am to prepare.

Sapu the flour. Goreng in the oil. Garnish with vegie.

Walauweh i was drooling buckets and fighting myself so hard not to finish all the ayam goreng on my own cuz i was getting sooo friggin hungry while arranging it nicely in the tupperware.

The official CSD welcome.

We were told to dress in christmasy colours and some people went all out to hog the potluck spotlight.

Eleana the santarina/reigndeer.
Whichever you prefer.

She bends over good.

Me and ChrisHiggs high and drunk on sparkling juice.

Everyone high on christmas carbs and carbonated drinks.

Had soooo much work to finish but played the ignorant i-dun-care card.
It was Christmas eve and damn it i was going to enjoy it.

There was caroling, canoodling and of course the infamous gift exchange session...

Plenty of pics taken but not with my camera.
Bummer.

Heck i spent the whole of last night wrapping gifts and was so tired that i was dozing off whilst putting my incredibly cacat gfit wrapping skills to use...

It's damn dangerous ok!?

I was slicing and dicing with my cutterblade and kept cutting out of line from the dozing.
Eyes couldnt stay open.
I'm lucky to have my fingers still attached as i type this.
At one point i actually drifted off to ze dreamland with a doughnut in hand while i was munching on the leftovers that i da baued from the office potluck.

It's Christmas ah!! Come on!!
I dun feel very festive now.
Crap la.
It felt more christmassy 2 weeks ago than right now.

Never mind never mind.
Tonight caroling with the church.

Should be quite fun.
It's always fun.

Ok fine it was funner when i was younger.
and when there were more younger people in the group 3964250894 years ago and we would have our own separate house-to-house caroling session away from the hawkful eyes of grown-ups...

And Ya. i do realise that i am considered a grown-up myself now...

Aih.

Gone are the good ol days la.

GONE. ..

Oh ya,

MERRY CHRISTMAS, WORLD!

See you when i see you.
