Advertorial 27 July 2010 | Comments

Lots of the show I’ve been doing recently requires singing so I figure no harm in jumping in to check out this Munchy’s Music contents. Maybe I can try to hit off a few notes. It has to be worth mentioning that you can win some prizes!!! Either an IPAD or and IPOD TOUCH. Now I’m all for the Ipad hehe. I won’t buy one but I don’t mind winning one.

Getting the Nexus One in Malaysia

Gadgets 10 May 2010 | Comments

At long last, I finally got the phone I’ve been raving again and again bout. I blogged about it here and here. I tweeted about it. I researched about it. I was obsessed about it. And finally i decided to buy it.

Yes I got my new baby. The one and only Google Nexus One. ^_____________^ I had a good reason for ‘wasting’ my cash. Unfortunately my n97 of one year decided to hang a lot on me.It lagged to the point it wasn’t funny. So I drove myself to Low Yat for a big Sam mentioned that the place may have it.

To my absolute delight. They did have the phone which was stated not available in Malaysia. So yeah anyone who wants the phone they can just drop by to Low Yat and get it. Prices are like so.

I didn’t check anywhere else. I paid about RM2570 for mine, the actual price was RM2400 but i did an installment plan. You can just google search for the Nexus One at the Low Yat Forum. That is honestly the cheaper option if you don’t mind parting with that walloping amount of cash.

Now lets move to taking some snapshots hehe. This may get heavy :)

Second thought make a video. Too many pictures to put up. Straight to the point.

This is just phase one of my trying to convince people that android with the Nexus One is the way to go.

Belukar In The Cinema

Movies, Performing Arts 7 May 2010 | Comments

Last year i shot my vey first feature film. i’m very proud to have been part of this project and it all began here actually when i first met with another thespian, Daphne Iking at the Astro Nida course. You can read about that here. And that was how it all began. She gave me a recommendation to the director Jason Chong. Met up with the man and from there everything else is history. One year later from then and a couple of months thrown in. All the hard work finally paid off. And the film is finally out in the cinema. Sure i may be writing about it a bit late now but better than never. eh :)

We / our movie industry needs all the help it can get. There has to be growth, but in order for there to be growth in promoting an industry there needs to be support. The right kind of support from the audience. ^_~ by the way constructive criticism is of course always welcomed. hehe but please also don’t expect like something you see in hollywood! There has to be a starting point and this is one of them. To a better storyline, a different style of directing and a giving a different demand in terms of genre not just mushy mushy lame love stories, political movies, and mat rempit films.

What do i play in this first film debut. A gangster girl by the name of Gincu. i feel it a responsibility actually to let audiences know about her name cause honestly… i find her a bit misunderstood. lol. I really enjoyed playing Gincu, who grew up the streets as an orphan. She was taken in by her boss TKO and learnt how to live her life by herself with a "different" kind of family. hehe. Don’t judge her black tarnished nails and bad ass pink her. She’s got a lot of issues that she had to deal with growing up. :P yeah i gave her a whole background story haha. In short i kick ass… literally kick ass in the film.

Wanna see wanna see? narcissism is permitted in this post >.< if you are keen to have a looksie here is the trailer.

YouTube Preview Image

ps: oh and yes i will admit to being bigger in the film. it is true when they say the camera makes you put on 10 pounds. It’s not an excuse i know.. but it’s something to make me feel better wakakaka.

ue to the cinema resolution which is on 16:9. Think about it if something is shown on a widescreen resolution of course you’ll look.. bigger and wider >.< Yeah yeah yeah excuses :P but it’s true i tell you! True!

Set to be out at cinemas nationwide on the 6th of May 2010, the day is finally here. The movie is finally out at GSC cinemas! I didn’t really feel the rush of it till i sat down at my comp to go an check out the movie on the GSC website. I just wanted to see if it really was in the cinema and lookie lookie what i saw ^_^

How often can you actually saw that you get to see a film you acted in on gsc cinema reservation page! i mean like psyche man hehehe psych

PSYCHE!!!!!!!!

and then and then when you click on the movie title it will take you to the little syopsis page. man!!! Too cool… and just to show what i played.. here are a few snapshots.



 

if you are interested to know more about the film, how it was made and the cast and crew. go to www.belukarthemovie.com

So yes the film is currently out now. please do help by supporting the film :) Do try and catch it. It’ll be on for the next two weeks or so.

Photo Manipulation #2 – The Lone Assassin

Photography, photoshop 16 March 2010 | Comments

It’s been a while since i did a photo editing session on myself. One that i can play around with. I won’t say this is much of a manipulation but i’m quite happy with the outcome. A big thanks to Candid Photography for lending me their studio. And of course to three lovely photographers : Wingz, Dale and Alicia. All took the time to come by and shoot lil moi. Considering it was only about a 2 hour shoot, i think quite a fair bit was covered. Why do i need these shots? Basically for my portfolio [...] Continue Reading…

V is For Victory Nike Ad

Videos, ads 3 March 2010 | Comments

Yesterday i was walking around in the mall, i decided to pop into a Nike store. As usual they would have really cool ads running on their tv screen. I personally enjoyed watching the ad “V is for Victory” , the powder ad. Sure this was released sometime back in Jan, but I still think it’s worth mentioning. Below is the video of the actual ad campaign followed by the behind the scenes and making of the video.   As much as it’s called www.footballshirtculture.com but Nike had other favourite sportsmen wearing the V on [...] Continue Reading…

Yeap this 14th February. We will all be celebrating Chinese New Year collecting lots of ang pows and we will be using up those ang pows later in the day to pamper our chosen person for Valentine’s Day. Before the day ends, I just want to wish everyone. Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine’s Day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHywTq5a2Bo
