A day out with Sulaya. Ni hao ni hao :D

Today's activities? No parkour. But temaning my good friend sulaya. Yea, she might look chinese but she's an all malay girl. She can speak a bit of mandarin tho. :D I brought a lot of stuff for today. My mp3 player, my camera gear, and of course my psp. Cuz you know lah, make over ni takes a while. Actually she made me bring the camera to take some photos of during her makeover. oh yea, she looks quite different without her glasses. Took me a while to get used to it.

Other than that, I also transferred a tiny fraction of my massive 55gigs worth of psp games to her pretty cool macbook. :D It's so pretty. I want one, but tak mampu. :( Oh well. someday, someday. :p

On another note I'm starting to have a pretty good conditioning regime. 120 pushups, done in 3 reps of 50, 20, 30, 20. Tak larat lagi nak go full hundred so I'm just gonna work on that till I get it. 5 reps of 10 L crunches thing, I dunno what it's called but it seems to work, so Imma just keep doing it. And lastly squats, I can only do 50 before my knees start burning. Wooh sakit woooo. And I do one of these in the afternoon and another one at night :D All of these are done without referring to any fitness program or reference. Cuz I'm lazy nak ikut cara orang. So I buat je la what I'm doing now and see if it works. haha!!

And tomorrow, video time. :)

below, some photos of Suraya's makeover session.

She doesn't know what the makeup artist is doing with her hair. She looks worried. Cuz she was. haha!

Yes, she likes to sengih2 like that one.

All done, now all she needs to do is get in her dress and get to the partay!! :)

Youtube is back on Quality!!

I just realized recently, that youtube's video quality is great!! Even on standard view. The HQ setting is even better!! Very little quality lost. Bravo google!! You've just made youtube awesome again!! Now if only they could deal with the WMG bullshit.

Thinking of what I should wear tomorrow.

Spot Acap in the picture and win nothing!!

Ah.. Putrajaya.. Such a nice place. For parkour and for taking pictures too. Unfortunately there are some areas where the greenery isn't so pleasing. Went out to shoot my video, but some of the locations have these nasty trees that shouldn't even be there in the first place. They're not aesthetically complimenting the surroundings anyway. By this I mean the banana trees. Gile semak background aku!! Might have to find other spots tomorrow. I've got a vision of how this video is gonna look like once it's done. And pokok-pokok pisang in the background is not in it.

This is gonna be the longest video shoot I've ever done, and the most rigorous one too. Lots of repetition, but it's good training. So it's a win-win situation. :) I haven't had a proper break for a week, but my body seems to be able to cope with it so it looks like my training has been paying off. :D Speaking off training, I haven't done my before sleep 50 pushups rep.

Ok done with that. Looking forward for tomorrow. Hope them guys will be well rested. It's gonna be a long day. >:3 I'll shoot these guys first before I shoot my scenes. Still have to wait for Abudi to come back and Azam too tho. So, I hope these guys will be free this weekend.

Alrity, that's all for me now. More updates tomorrow. :3

ASWARA here I come :D

Woke up for subuh this morning and didn't go back to sleep. Amazing! Unfortunately it's not out of my own will. In fact I had to stay up and head for Aswara for the intake tests and interview. Naturally i slept quite late as well last nite. Somewhere around 4 methinks. Woke up feeling like shit, hit the showers, got dressed in formal attire (yeah, I wore slacks and a shirt :D) and headed off to the place. My dad was driving since he knows his way around kl better than anyone in the house. But we got wrong directions from the website and we ended up going in circles for about an hour or so.

My dad being the hot tempered person he is, dove like a lunatic. Kept jerking the car with his constant breaking and sudden accelerating. I was sitting at the back of the car, hadn't had any breakfast yet. I eventually got carsick and threw up by the side of the road right before we reached the damned place.

Upon reaching, I was kinda surprised it looked quite pleasing. It's a nice place. And since it's an art school, I saw all these kinds of people around, with big hair strutting their guitar bags, dancers in their tight outfits and some theater dudes practicing their lines outside the lecture halls. It was weird. But the good kind of weird. :D I liked it.

The first written test was awesome!! Kept asking me stuff that I know nothing about. Which involved stuff like list 4 kinds of traditional malay dances, and from which state do they originate from. So there I was in the lecture hall, flipping through the pages to find some questions that I COULD answer. There were some... But only 5 or 6 of about 50 questions. hoho!! Not a good start. I really, really thought that I was jinxed earlier today. Dah la sesat, lambat amik test, muntah2, sakit perut. All the worst case scenarios happened. But since I was already there I might as well just go through with it.

Next off was another test. Writing a story out of a storyboard. For this one, I was ummm.. relieved a bit. I thought I was gonna have to sketch the story board, rupenye for diploma level kene interpret the given story board je. Fuh! Leganye. Finally a break. XD

The last of the screening tests was a one to one.. or one to three rather, face to face interview with some of the lecturers of the film and video course. All three of them had their poker faces on. I couldn't read them, but thankfully I managed to get quite a good review from them. At least I think I did. Cuz they did mention that they we're interested in having me in their academy and to wait for their offer letter once they were done questioning me. :D I was happy weh! I made it!! Woohooo!!! Unbelieveable!!

Anyway, I really hope I get it. This place looks awesome. They have the facilities, they have the gear and real life experience and influence too. And the chicks. OMG. The chicks. Dancers man. I looove dancers. They're so hot. ahh.. I might just join some dance classes if i get in. lol!

My emo training session :D

Earlier today... oh wait a minute. It's 2am. Let me rephrase, yesterday afternoon after I picked up some papers from Yamaha. I figured that I should shoot some clips to compile for the video I've been wanting to make that's nowhere near complete yet. I guess I'm gonna have to plan it out first as I did for the new year vid.

So anyway, the sun was up and virtually no clouds in sky. A perfect day for a video shoot. I started to shoot some clips at Alamanda. I walked around the back side of the complex and found this pretty cool spot with some rails. There was this one spot with a bench beneath that I think if done correctly, I can get myself right up the next floor. Definitely something I'll try out once I gain the confidence.

So for this video, I guess I just compiled it to show to you guys roughly how I want the flow video to look like. A route, and of course multiple takes of the same moves from different angles. Since there are quite a few of us, it's gonna take a while. I don't want another random compiled video, so yea, Imma scout the place, and if I'm rajin do a rough story board or maybe just some notes rather since I don't really know how to sketch. Then shoot a sequence for each person and if possible fit a few dudes into the shots, which will take much more planning.

This video was done in one day and took me about an hour of editting and rendering. It was surprisingly easy cuz I had the clips set in sequence when I shot it. So note to self. More attention to the shoot than the actual editting. :)

enjoy the video. and dont focus on my belleh. XD

Another Kosmo Interview :D

Yes! and this time I made it :D But because of that, my flow video has been put on hold. Tomorrow's the last day Imma be able to shoot it. So hopefully it'll be done by then. Apart from the interview stuff and the photo session, we had a little tricking at the end of the day.

My application interview for Aswara is on Monday. Get this, I have to go thru a written test and an interview to get into this place. Woh! So exclusive meh? I wonder.. How the hell am I gonna get in? Seems pretty hard since they're having all this screens before taking in students. :O Me scared oh! If this doesn't work out then I'm gonna have to find another place :( Oh well.

And now I give u. Photos of today's attendees :D I think I got everyone except Abudi. Cuz he came in late and didn't make it in time for the interview. But it's okay tho. We'll have more of that in the future hopefully :)

The journalist, Mr. Adham

Alep the jackass

Ammar the attention whore

Abil the backflipping rempit

Azam the emo (quoting abudi)

Abil the backflipping rempit doing a backflip (obviously)

Me! and the camerawoman. :D I want a UWA too :O

Muril the dude with a dislocated shoulder

And lastly Acap. Gambar ko blur for some reason :O

As an ending note. I would like to divulge a bit into what I've been thinking about. I'm 24 years old this year. by no means a kid anymore. Yet here I am still fooling around doing the things that I want to do without really worrying what might happen in the future. It's crazy, but at the same time I'm thankful for it. Cuz I know that when I'm older and I'm talking about granpa old here. I'll be able to look back and not regret a thing. For many people, life is all about getting by. Study in school, graduate, work, get married, more work, see your kids grow up, work even harder, retire and then relax. There's no doubt that I'm gonna be going through that same process, but..... I guess.. I'm just gonna take my time.. You're only young once. I'm gonna make sure I put every ounce of that to make it worthwile. Which at the moment also includes... Patapon!! :D haha!!

Life is what you make of it. Sure it's full of shit and problems. I've had my share and it'd take something as thick as the lord of the rings novel to list it all down. But what I've learned is, to take the burden on my own shoulders. Everybody's got shit on their hands. They don't need me to add more on top of that. So yea, I'm just as messed up as everyone. But I manage to deal with it. Am I worried about my future? Sure, every fucking day (not much tho). But who doesn't right? But when you look at the big picture. What you've gone through or going through in your life. Some people have it far worse. So what's you're excuse?

Everyone lives.. But very few actually live life....

And now I go to sleep :D Oh yea, btw. KJER watches our videos! Wow!

Aiyoh!

It's 7.27 in the morning. What am I doing up? Couldn't sleep for some reason and after yesterday's solo session, I feel kinda good. Good meaning, sakit2 badan. Haha!! And I still have the video to shoot today. But it doesn't matter. As they say, no pain no gain.

Oh yea, I compiled some clips from a session we had when Muril came back for the holidays. Speaking of Muril, might be a Guitar Hero jam session tonight. XD The vid I uploaded doesn't have any music in it. Cuz I guess I just want it to be a bit raw. I dunno, I just like the sound of the shoes as we hit the concrete. :D It's great!

So yea, here's hoping for some good footage for today. :D

And for the cat lovers out there, I give you Chicken Ball!! :D I lazy mah. So I take photos of my cats only now. :P

Goodbye Transformers Hello MSvsGO

After watching this movie trailer, I was dumbfounded. Flabbergasted. Amazed. Fascinated. The quality (or lack thereof) of the trailer really caught me in a vulnerable position. I mean, I've seen stuff like Anaconda, Frankenfish and even Snakes on a Plane. But this, this is just on a different level. Even the title of the movie screams "low budget" and the trailer. Wow.. The trailer. I got no words for it. You have to check it out for yourself. I'm soooooooo gonna NOT watch it. hahaha!!

Pon Pon Patapon!!!

Hello peoples! It's me again! Back to the online world. Back to having a life. Yes, this is life man. :D So what's been happening actually (to your's truly that is) these past few days? To be honest, I've been too caught up with "business". Important business mind you. Business that affects the lives of my growing number of Patapons!!! :D hahaha!!

Yes my friends, I've been spending most of my waking days playing this game. It's so addictive. That and the fact that I continued to the second game after completing the original, which makes it even more fun. The stuff to do in this deceivingly simple looking game is immense. Mainly looting and creating stuff and of course upgrading my cute but fierce little patapon army :)

I'm still playing the game at the moment, but I'm taking a break for now. My eyes are hurting. Macam nak juling pon ade gak from staring at the small psp screen hours at a time. I can't really explain how this game plays. It's actually beating some drum sequences that corresponds to commands like move, attack, defense, etc and leading them little critters across a beautifully designed 2D world in search for "IT" at earthend. What "IT" is, is never really revealed. These guys don't even know what "IT" is, they just know that they need to see "IT" for eternal contentment. haha!

Yep, that's 41 hours of my life that I'm never gonna get back again. But it was worth it. :D

Behold!! My army!!! Mahopons, Yumipons and Yaripons including the Hero Pota!! and of course hatopon the flag bearer carrying the the Brimstone juju. Woohhh!!!

Yeah, that's my army beating the crap of a Darantula. hohohoh!! look at them fangs dropped!!

Ahh, I love spanking them Karmen's asses (bottoms lol!).

Alrighty so apart from that, I also got me a copy of the game Rockband for the psp too. Which is pretty cool. I made the band Deaf People Under The Sea as my band in the game. Which includes myself as the vocalist, Acap as the bassist, Abudi as the drummer and muril as the lead guitarist. :D And below I give you a piccie of the band woohoo!!


I'm still pretty early in the game. So I'll post up updates of the band later, with new outfits and equipment :D Oh btw, tak muat nak taruk the whole Deaf People Under The Sea as the band name so i had to cut some of the letters off. Looks catchier tho dontcha think?

So that's all for now. Tomorrow I'll be filming another free-run flow video. Hopefully it turns out awesome. :D Wish me luck! For that and my patapon army!! Muahahaha!!

Half a day at Taman Tasik Cempaka

Yesterday we had a little training session with Muril. Yes, Muril! He has returned now that his exams are done. Woohoo!! David Bail is coming soon!!

So anyway, yesterday, I'm still reeling from yesterday's session which lasted for exactly 6 and a half hours. Yesh, we spent 6 and a half hours at the park and most of the hours spent in the infamous McD located just next to it. There are a lot of photos. But I'll work on them later. I just finished fixing one. Which is of meeeeee. weee!!

I'm thinking of getting myself a pair of glasses but then again I don't want to be relying on it tho. Which is the main reason I've never got one yet. I've been semi blind for roughly 5 years now and the thing is that it's getting gradually worse. Hmmm... I'm almost blind at night. Any kind of glare would blind me, especially headlights from oncoming cars when I'm driving. But I've been coping really well tho.

Oh yea, for those who are curious about how I look like when I'm wearing glasses. Well, you'll be curious no more cuz below you'll see how cool and intelligent looking I am with a pair. Not that kind of pair, I meant a pair of glasses weh!! You sicko!! lol!

And umm, yeah. I'll be working on the other photos and videos too. Which will probably be up tomorrow. Cuz tonight I malas lah. Still penat wooo. Gile ah.

A dog meowing?

This is really ummm.. strange. This guy's voice is ummm.. well, kinda impossible for a guy to be able to reach. It's that high!! amazing stuff. check it out.

Jam session in PJ

Well we had the session last saturday and I'm still recovering from it. I guess because it's been a while since I tricked so my body is in a state of shock. That and the fact that I banged my left leg pretty good on the picnic table during casting. Sakit arh badan to say the least. :P

This idea of having sessions once a week by Sabree is brilliant! Not only do we get to find new places to play around with. New people actually come and join. :D So I guess by having this open concept of training, it really is a good way for us to expand free-run to the masses.

And I have to say, that for the first time ever in PKMY history, last saturday, we actually had girls attending our training sessions. Yes!! Real girls I tell you!! That is really, a huge achievement. :D Oh yea, I gotta thank the new guys and girls for joining in. Don't worry guys and girls, you'll get better in no time.

Also I would like to add, that we've been getting quite a lot of offers from prodcution houses for ads this year. That means we're doing it right, they know how and where to find us :D Which should make things a lot easier in the coming years. If only some programs on TV3 would do a take on us. That'd be super great.

As for videos. I have some. But umm, they're kinda hard to go thru. And also cuz there are lots of tricking involved. I might just combine the recent one with future jam vids to even it out. Which would also mean, more variety and that's always good. But I did upload a video from the recent jam on the Susuralley account cuz I find this one to be pretty funny. But this concept is one I'd like to explore on future feature vids. Speed and explosive power!!

So that video project is still in the planning stages. Well actually, I haven't even started planning yet really. So umm, it's still in on hold till I get rajin enough to actually plan it mode. Till then, enjoy this short clip and try to master the "roll". Cuz you can get hurt by doing it the wrong way as shown in this vid. :D

Turn the volume up and listen to the woman scream. HAHAHA!! and watch in HQ if you want to see our cool faces clearly. By our I meant me. So yea. Woohoo!! Im so cool!!




P/s: It also helps if you wear t-shirts instead of singlets btw. XD

Incomparable taste of Al Fakher v2!!

This is a video response to Siddiq's best fight scene ever post. It's funny as hell but still I think the fight sequence was pretty good... Pretty good compared to THIS one!!! hahaha!!! I don't think any fight is as intense as this one. LOL!!

Movie Trailers and their lies!!!

How many times have you watched a movie trailer and went "WHOOAAAA!!! Holy shit!! Gile power dowh muvi ni!! Mesti tengok weh!!", and imagine saying that with eyes wide open, and mouth agape while flailing your arms, hitting/tapping/poking/slapping (include any kind of annoying gesture you can think of here) the unfortunate friend (or in some cases, the girlfriend) who's sitting right beside you. But when you went and watched the movie, (in the front-most seat cuz the tickets sold fast) you come out through the backdoor of the cinema when its over, with an empty expression and in absolute silence as you walk silently back to your car with your unfortunate friend/s/girlfriend whom you dragged along to watch the movie just because you saw the trailer and thought that it was definitely gonna be faking asam! Well, it was faking asam because the trailer showed you pretty much ALL of the cool parts of the movie. All 3 minutes of it. Wooh!! How dareth they!!

ahh... I lost count how many times that happened to me. And today's movie outing was no different either. A few days ago one of my friends whose name I shall keep anonymous, saw the trailer of Power Kids. He was hyping up the movie saying that these kids were doing really sick tricks, Ryan Doyle style flippies and crazy backbreaking websters. He was right about one thing. All of the cool things he mentioned was in the movie. Unfortunately those are the only things that were cool in the movie. The rest of it was full of plotholes, bad acting (especially that mat salleh dude yang tak reti berlakon mabuk, he really sucks..), overused slow-mo sequences (which I think made for pretty much a quearter of the movie's length) of every knee-hit and elbow smack downs. I mean seriously, do we need to watch the same knee strike in slow-mo in every fight scene of the movie? And no, the different angles and the different guys you get the kids to hit doesn't make it look like it's a different move. geez. They should've spent more time on the plot which really doesn't make any sense at the end of the movie.

The movie was 7 bucks. And definitely not worth it. Oh yea, Imma spare you guys the pain and mention that the movie Sell Out, is pure crap as well. Weee!!

And as usual, a picture. That has no relevance to this post. :D



p/s: the new star trek trailer looks.. FUCKING AWESOME DOWH!!!!!!

TrickingdiMPN!!!111!!!! (Complete!!)

We went tricking at MPN earlier today. And umm. I had Mcdonalds before the session. Mmmm. When the video comes out and u see my tummy a little bit buncit i have my alibi. haha!! Took a few photos. The others are still in the waiting list. So for now I give you. ACAP!! As Cool As Pro!! Look how cool he is in this pictar. haha!! I'll post up the rest as soon as Im done with them. For now, it's back to playing games!! Wooohhh!!



OMG AND CHECK THIS OUT!!! SIDDIQ DOES A BACKFLIPP!!! OH SHEEETTT!!!!!! FAKING ASAM!!!!! muril ko dah takde alasan dah. Ko kene wat gak nanti bile ko cuti. haha!!!



Ammaruddin showing off his cam whoring skills.



Rosman's flash kick! By the way, Rosman is not cat. :D



And last but not least. Meeeee!! Spining and spinning, gracefully like a butterfly. I love days like these. If only everyday is as nice.



It's been a while since we had a tricking session. We've been working on our parkour for about a month now. There's quite a huge improvement in that area, especially our upper body strength, thanks to Cat, Qayyim and Sabree for giving tips and advice. And we're gonna keep working on that till we get better.

Haven't been doing any videos for a while. Maybe we'll do one sometime this month. Featuring Cat, Sabree and Qayyim if possible. I gotta plan this out first tho. Fingers crossed, hope it'll come to fruition.

Oh yea, and to Acap. kesian die takde gambar action. But I got lazy and took this crappy shot of his 540. haha!! takpe2, next time aku kasik gambar ko super power punye. Don't worry. XD

Whoa! A Derecho!!

A Derecho (Pronounced De-Ray-Chi-yo) is a pretty wicked storm. It's pretty rare and we've recently got to see another one of these, well in we I meant, the poor saps in the US. So what is a Derecho you ask? Well it's kind of like a tornado, but even better! I mean worse. lolz. I mean who doesn't love tornadoes right? They look pretty awesome and a sure fire way for mother earth to show her human freeloaders who's boss. As awesome and destructive a tornado is, a Derecho beats the tornado hands down in epic coolness!

I got this from Yahoo! News. Cuz it's my homepage to make it easier for me to check my mail, and the little things they put on the page is pretty cool. So anyway back on topic, a tornado is pretty much really fast winds spinning in a circle right? Well the Derecho however is a pretty nasty 120mph wind that goes in a straight line which can reach out for hundreds of miles accross. So it's pretty much like a massive wall of surging winds that destroys everything in its path. :O Cool huh? Like something out of a movie. Thing is, that this storm is so rare that most of us don't even know such a thing exists. Heck if I saw it I might think it's judgement day or something.

So yea, just another sign that the world is heading for the dumps, unless we start doing something about it. People say we're reaching the end of time. But we don't really know yet. How can we know right? So the best thing to do is try to fix the problem, and I hope we manage to do that. Cuz I wanna live too have kids and grandkids too y'know.

And behold some piccies of the Derecho!!! This is the best that I could find. Cuz I malas. haha!!





And here's the link to the actual news clip. You can see the Derecho in motion! Wicked stuff. And they explain what it's all about too. Go check it out! Derecho news!

2009 ½

It's almost halfway into 2009 now. How time flies. I'm gonna try and upload the damn video again tonight and sleep through it. Hopefully it gets thru once I wake up tomorrow. Although it might ended getting disconnected some 12% or something thru as usual. pfft. Looking through the archives, I can't help but think about how I came around to starting this blog. :D Never thought it'd last this long.

It seems that I'm gonna be busy again from June till July. Another movie. I better work on my kicks. Dem. Malasnye. Hopefullly I don't have to do any of those nasty falls. Sakit wooo. That and wires. God, can't tell you guys how much I hate doing wirework. I guess I hate the fact that the production team can't even spend a little more for a spare costume for their stunt guy. I mean, I have to share the same clothes as the actors? Woot? Come on. And I hate having to double for a girl. Sheeet. Having to wear a wig and shit. Damn. Where are stuntwomen when u need them? XD I blame my small frame for that inconvenience.

But whatever it is. This one seems to be quite a long job. Looks like something around a month. Yikes. Once this is done with, I can probably get the whole Guitar Hero Band set :D yay! So that's one of the upsides. Now all I have to do is train.

Oh yea, I took a few photos earlier. My camera's getting dustier by the day. Haven't been using the guy for quite a while. And I came up with these. Ah. I just love textures. :) Don't you?

I love my monitor. :P

Tis a Rock Salt thing my mum got from JB. We've got like around 6 of these lying around the house.

I miss doing them artsy fartsy photos. But I'm so lazy nowadays to make the extra effort. sigh. Maybe sometime in the near future. I'll try to get my ass of this chair and get out of the house for a proper photo outing. :D

Susahnye nak upload video!!!

So the vid from last saturday's training session is compiled. But I can't seem to get it uploaded cuz I keep getting disconnected. arrrgghh!!! This is frustrating. Abudi come get it and upload it man!!! I remade the vid. Shorter, smaller and cooler. Cuz I put in your awesome pullup bail. Hohohohoho!! and below a funny pictar from the previous week's KLCC session. :D

We might not die a natural death

It looks like the world is truly coming to an end. Apart from religion being treated as tho it's just a label, and all the sex, drugs and alcohol being consumed by people of all ages. The global economic catastrophe, global warming, the constant wars in the middle east, cancer, and of course, we have the new up and coming global pandemic, the so called swine flu. Sigh..

It's all going to hell.

but whatever it is. tomorrow is jam session day! woohoo! Gotta live in the moment as they say.
