the year that was

well....2007 has come and gone, in a jiffy...
i must say 2007 has been rather kind to me, and i am really really thankful for that...

i managed to travel quite a lot for work and hopefully there would be more jobs for me overseas...

then...together wif 2 of my frens we set-up a company specializing in location sound, aptly named soundwise and we already finished 2-3 jobs, not bad really...

and for the last 3 months i have been directing a drama series, geng bas sekolah, which is something like the hardy boys series...each ep chronicles how the gang overcome their challenges and i really think this is a good series....in fact, it is so famous that whenever the bus passes the main shooting location, heads will turn hoping to catch a glimpse of the young stars...and even my laundry shop kakak has heard of it!!..'eh mestilah tau', when i asked if she ever heard of the series...well if you wanna sample some of the eps, just go to youtube and search for 'geng bas sekolah'...now, i didn't direct all the eps, so i can't really speak for the other directors....at first when i was approached to direct this series, i was really hesitant cause me think me not so good with kids...but i'm glad i took the challenge cause they really teach you a whole new meaning about patience...and how to remain cool even when you're not.....but i must say these kids are really not so bad....i often forget they are just kids...
shooting has somehow got tougher since school reopen and now we can only shoot on weekends..

and in 2007 i wasn't very well-behaved....as in hurting people... i must admit cupid spent a lot of time with me throughout the year, making up for lost time i guess...and boy, generous he was... so there were times when i didn't know how to handle things and ended up hurting people's feelings...now, i must say that i've never intended to hurt anyone in the first place, i always start something with good intentions... but that doesn't mean shit won't happen right?...right...
so i've learned my lesson and i'll be more careful, i promise...

and now....bring on the year of the rat!!
