It was a big turn out for the world premiere of Gubra at GV Grand. TV crews from MTV and Channel Suria we there hogging the cast for interviews and introductions. And then there were us, trying to stick to Yasmin long enough to get any inside scoop. Personally though i think we were abit too much in-the-face that it might scare them away. And there i was trying to be cool about it.

Pretty much all invitees were rounded up in the garden for the refreshments and dinner while mingling around, talking to aquaintences and friends. By 9pm later that evening, everyone were ushered into the screening hall to reveal the 1st revelation of Gubra on the silver screen. Heavier in topic range and emotions, Gubra is nothing like Sepet. The tone is generally more mature but one thing for sure, its dialogs and capers of particular scenes was a heartful signature of yasmin which i loved.


We stuck around after the show, to congratulate them for the great show and managed to salvage free posters and whats more, having them there, was a great opportunity to have personal autographs of them!

We bid them our final farewell and hoping we would meet agian in her upcoming film production to learn the nick-knacks of filming.

The day finally came on the 26th Feb 06 where we met the cast of Gubra, the much awaited sequel to the tragic Sepet. Expecting a much formal setting, we were thrown aback at the suggestion coming from Thomas, LHP marketing, that the bunch was in need of a meal. And that expectation of a quiet formal hit and run interview was suddenly wiped clean and so started the our most unexpected informal, laid back casual interview we had ever done.


Target was at 730pm at the Swissotel Stamford’s Kopitiam. I was the designated shooter, who was having the most frustrating time taking photos because of the lighting. Yellow lights is definately not my favourite lighting. Its bright enough but it messes up with the sensors in my camera into thinking its dark, thus causing it to have a slow shutter, which in turn makes ANY movement into a blurry patch of grotesque deformation. So i braved the envoronment and wished SOMETHING turned out fine among the endless shots.

Those present, Yasmin, the director of cos, who is very much motherly and fun to be with who speaks of her own class and humbleness. Sharifah, the lead actress, as cute as a button with a mouth that shoots like a GPMG leaving any traces to burn any unexpecting passer-by. a true chilli padi. Small and super spicy, it burns. I like...Oh and also not forgetting Alan, the on screen brother of the departed Jason to stir up emotion back into orked. Quiet and reserve, this model turns out to be not a bad actor who still has a long way to go. Anyone who thinks he looks familiar, will defiantely recognise him in various commercials on tv, the more recent, Airwick air fresher.

We soon departed and had our final photo shoot at the vicinity and bid farewell to the bunch. Till tomo that is, the world premiere of Gubra at GV Grand.

Came across a travel blog site that finally includes its own map system.
The Red Area = Been to places.


Create your own visited country map or write about it on the open travel guide

Clearly, i haven't to many places, so in my "To do list", visit as many countries as possible is my aim. No kidding. I love travelling.

Yes, for those who followed through my adventure to Angkor would have known by now that i have returned home safe and sound.

For those who were oblivious of my happenings for the past 5 days and cared to know, you can do so by reading my previous post.

Oh btw ...
... finally.

I've been given a task to do a coverage of Angkor for the next issue of JetAway, JetStar Asia inflight magazine. So much to do. Pictorial of Angkor Wat, Hotel review, Spa review and Restaurant review and Neighbourhood review. So much expectation, to little time and so much pressure! Arrghh!

Oh well, it'll be a nice break of you look at it in a different light. Just gotta plan my scheduling.

Anyway, i'll TRY to update my ongoings while in Cambodia. Not in this blog but in another new one. Click the image above to go there.

Its like the "The Fast and the Furious", the extreme version. Just look at the piece of art?!
Garang siah~

E-stop on the hood. I wonder what it's used for? Isn't it suppose to be on the inside or something? Incase the driver falls unconcious during the sonic speed, someone outside could throw something heavy on it to stop the car? Beats me. Anyone can explain?

Its not a surprise that this isn't a local car. We'll be caught dead having this set-up.

Anyway, its just too cool not to notice it.

I have only a few days left before the deadline and there stuff that's still pending and incomplete!

Time to go crazy agian.

Btw, i'm under probation for 3 months as Art Director.
Big woopee. If the benefits aren't getting better, why should i bother...

Came across this link while i was on my routine visit of MovieXclusive forum, a pre-production effects test screen of Tranformers - The Movie. May not be much but it i'm all hyped!

LATEST NEWS - Seems that it's been reported the above clip is a fake. So much for the hype... Sources of where it originated is still unknown.

In comparison with Richard who recently bought dvds from korea, i on the other hand, having some cash leftovers, decided to treat myself with a couple of dvds from Amazon!
The Nightmare on Elm Street Collection; Y Tu Mama Tambien; Fight Club; Sin City
