MGSA

This is how my working table looks like!

Blog's been really quiet lately.....

Looking back at my posts for the past few months................hmm................it's been very quiet lately. Didn't have the time to write. My days were all swarmed with work. Barely had enough time to sleep, let alone to write.

After starting to write for documentaries, I do feel that my writing bug is coming back but there's just no time to start. Let's see..."I shall start researching and writing for documentaries," says me now and after few months later, nothing's done. *laughs* that happens so often that I gave up cheering for myself to start writing. But, it's time to set aside time for myself to start the research and writing if I ever want to be a successful Producer/Director for documentaries! Yes! I must start!

Let's see what I'll write a few months from now when I read this post then.


Some updates from my world of ghosts, fairy tales, computer screens, emails and stress:
1. My Ghost Story Asia Season 2 is finishing up with the post production. It's just amazing seeing everything falling into place. Shooting in 5 countries were taking a toll on me but the experience and knowledge gained are priceless. It was an eye opener and dare I say, this project is my very first project where I see my name as a Producer and Writer in the credits! *wooohooo* It's been a great opportunity to work on MGSA since the first season and I do hope for many more seasons to come. Tune in to BIO Channel starting 4th April! (ps: spot me!)

2. Fairy Tale? Yes...from ghosts to fairies. I find this amusing. But, it's also another great opportunity to work with Disney this time (at least it's away from ghosts). I'm still relaxing and chilling despite the dateline is near. This week is going to be hell! Good thing I've prepared myself to go through this. Watched the movie and it's just so lovely. Brings me back to my childhood memories~

3. Upcoming projects...hmm...let's start writing first!

4. Holiday! Weeeeeee~ I will make sure that I am in the airport the night before my flight so I won't miss my flight this time! *scared* Flying with Malaysia Airlines! *woohoo* 3 1/2 hours to arrive Manila. Heading for a good Mount Pinatubo hike, an awesome 3 day dives in Anilao and seeing that someone in Puerto Galera. Can't wait...counting the days. I'm sure he's even more excited... *smiles*

5. Songlap awards! CONGRATULATIONS SONGLAP TEAM! It's been amazing working with great people and with all the hard work, the movie won several awards this year. Truly grateful to work in this project. Even though it was overwhelmingly stress and we were at each other's throat, but it was worth everything. CONGRATS AGAIN!


Thing's been going well so far. Unexpected things happened along the way, tears and smiles. Nevertheless, gotta take things slow and steady. Don't get over excited *giggles*

Let's wait for the posts on my vacation! :)

Gonna enjoy to the fullest...food, sun, sea, sand!

Missing my Vacation Flight

Arrived in LCCT from Bangkok at 1230am.
Settled with the ATA Carnet at 130am.
Arrived and settled in Tune Hotel at 2am. Sleep.

Changed my watch back to Malaysia time.
Forgot to change both my phones' clock back to Malaysia time. Set alarm.

Woke up at 3.30am Bangkok time and went back to sleep thinking it was still early.

Alarm rang at 4.30am Bangkok time. Shower. Pack.
Suddenly realized that my watch was 5.40am Malaysia time! Rushed. Checkout.

Bus delayed till 6am. Arrived in the airport at 6.05am.
Counter close.
Missed flight!

Checked on the price for the next flight. RM500plus!
*teared*

Checked on the price for the next flight to Kuching. RM250.
Bought the ticket. Waited for the flight. Flew back home.

Goodbye Brunei dive trip...
