What Time Is It?

Finally had an interview with Royston Tan for MX. Stefan was nice enough to hold it over the weekend so I could conduct the interview.

It was an interesting interview I must say. Stefan and Richard (designated cameraman) will be working on the article, which will be up by the time I next book out.

Meanwhile, watch 4:30!

Time A Flyin'

Managed to squeeze in a quickie here!


Golly gees, how time flies.

However, truth be told, I hope it flies even faster. I cannot wait for September.
I want to get this over and done with.

3 weeks done. 12 more to go. Sigh.

I wish I could disclose and tell you stories about what has happened thus far but I can't.
Confidential matters and all that yada yada.

When I get to see y'all over the weekends, then maybe can tell you more stories. Meantime, this is it for now.

To Serve the Nation.

Dearest friends and readers,

For the next two weeks, there probably wouldn't be any updates on this blog.

By the time you read this, I would have arrived at Tekong to begin my 2 year stint with the Army.

Yes people, the time has come for me to enlist and I still cannot believe that it is here.
I'm still not bloody particularly prepared, still packing at the last minute but trying to maintain a positive outlook on things in the meantime.

I suppose there'll be much that I will miss during my two weeks of confinement there but I guess better things will come afterwards, or at least, I hope.

Pray for my safety. Miss me as much as I'll miss you.
I'll be back before you know it.

The Search for Mukhsin Feature Length Pictorial

Hello everyone.
Didn't have the time to do a feature length report on my KL Trip.
Might do one when I finally have the time.

Meanwhile, here's a full pictorial of my 3 days there with Stefan while we visited the set of Yasmin Ahmad's latest film, "Mukhsin".

Enjoy!

The New Wave!

A quick plug to an event which I cannot attend. Bleah.

In any case, remember the musical, Closer to Your Heart, that I did in March as part of The Next Wave?

Wells, come 9th-11th June, six new musicals will be staged.
