Clash of the Titans

I’m such a big fan of the old fantasy adventure film like Sinbad and the 1981 Clash of the Titans. I really hope this doesn’t disappoints. But I guess it can never replace the old feel of a Ray Harryhausen film. =)

Bowie In Love

Sigh~ he still looks so good…

Survivors!

Fly By Night Top 10 Winner! Woohoo!

Thanks to Sulaiman and my sister, Sara, for being such a sport and enthusiast while making this. We should really tap ourselves on the shoulder. Thanks to Midzi and Melvin for helping to act for us as well. Such great chemistry between them! Haha!

And of course, the other works from the Fly By Night series were pretty good! So creative and different. Very cool and interesting. The late night, the mad rush to Substation was unforgettable.

And I’ve gotta say, I have to thank Man’s parents as well for such a support in their little ways. The constant good food for the crew and cast. I swear I gain a few kilograms the last two days. And sending us to Substation to submit our work before 12pm! Gosh…that was incredible. Thank you thank you!

Will upload the video once we’ve redone some new things to it. And of course some photos from the event and some cam-whoring outside Peranakan Museum. =D

Things That Really Make Me Happy

So I was thinking about the things that make me happy and the first thought was my cats. Six of the little devils often times do things that makes my blood boil so I don’t really understand that controversy. STILL, they do make me smile all the time.

Then I was thinking about other things that make me happy and the following are some:

My sisters!

Asfe with goatie… (tee hee)

Mr Elvis himself.

My eldest sister in 2005. Need to get more recent photos with her though.

Handsom. He represents all six.

Fat clouds.

And green leafy plants!

I’ll add more to the list as I go along. =) So yeah! Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Back

I’ve been leaving this blog alone for the past two months. Gosh. Mainly because the photos I’ve uploaded are all up on Facebook.

So I’m back in Singapore, still jet lagged and finding myself dozing in the afternoons. Of course my mum thinks its laziness. But well it is the fasting month now.

There are tons of photos that I have yet to put up so do check them out over at Facebook. L.A. was really great and the past 2.5 months had been eye opening. Got to see and experience pretty much what I wanted, although I couldn’t surf.

Their museums are awesome and huge! The brilliant paintings, Van Gogh etc. Very inspiring to see all these works and the period that it was made. My eyes almost popped out trying to absorb everything.

Met lots of people from the industry. They were very nice to share things with us. Had tours to the major studios. I saw Paramount, Universal, Sony Entertainment, Warner Brothers and they had such huge soundstages!

Fooh! Can’t wait to go again! Back in Singapore, it’s time to get ready to start school next week. Another intense semester. Yosh!

Hal Ashby

It’s my third week in L.A and so much things had been happening. Internships are coming along and we will soon be working hopefully. It’s been great so far though there are so many places that I have yet to go and explore. I’m waiting for finances to come along in order to do the things that I wanted here.

We went to the Academy’s Salute to Hal Ashby at the Academy of Fine Art and Science theatre. It was great! They screened Harold and Maude film by Hal Ashby which I had not seen before and it was  brilliantly funny. I enjoyed it very much. There were also guest speakers who had been influenced or worked with Hal Ashby that came and it was an impressive panel; Jon Voight, Diablo Cody, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Haskell Wexler and Yusuf Islam! Yusuf (formerly known as Cat Stevens) performed a few songs that he composed in the film Harold and Maude which were really great! It is his first comeback into the US since he converted to Islam. It was really awesome! =)

Although the forum was not really done very well, the film was great and I guess I was introduced to Hal Ashby’s work which was great.

L.A from a Nutshell

Through the rush and turn of events, I am here in L.A to pursue an internship. Wow. I’m in L.A man!! How exciting is that?

So its almost a week that I’m here and what I’ve learnt is it might be better to have a car here or to get yourself a Metro card for bus transports. Definitely a car would be much more convenient.

Everywhere here is surrounded with the media industry. My classmates and I had a drive tour around the area and there on one street is the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild. Near to our apartment is the NBC office, Variety, E Entertainment and many others. Living in L.A is a little steep due to its location, its beautiful gorgeous houses and the fact that it is Hollywood town. But you got to hang on somewhere to make it in this industry. So you gotta do what you gotta do no?

On our first week, we had visited Disneyland, Chapman University at Orange County (lovely and gorgeous place), and Sony Pictures Entertainment studio tour. We also had the opportunity to watch the Students Academy Awards on the first day we arrived in L.A. It was great.

Through the past day as well, we have been working on our internship applications so hopefully that gets through. The place is a bubbling pot of opportunities is all I can say. And so I’ll bring in more news on LA from a Nutshell soon!

Cat-Taker Fund

I have a new project that I wanted to do! I hope you guys can help!

It’s going to be a short documentary and its on my favourite subject, cats!

It’s currently a working title called Cat-Taker about a lady who goes around feeding the neighbourhood stray cats and faces the mounting problems of unwanted kittens and cats that are left fending for themselves or dying from abuse or malnutrition. This lady is almost invisible to all of us but she is one person that cats around look forward to meet everyday.This story is about her and others who have done the same for the stray furry fellows near your home.

I basically need funding for this film to pay for the camera usage, crew and postproduction works. If you can contribute by chipping in any amount (from $1 onwards) to the funding of the film, it would help to make this documentary come into fruition.

If you’d like to support this project, please drop by http://www.screenplayer.tv/cat-taker and take a look!

You can give me your comments, feedbacks and suggestions which I will definitely take into account.
And if you like the idea, you want to see it, you want to help out; just let me know via the message box.

Thanks for your support!
