Yoh yoh.. have not been studying productively. 30 min of studying at one given time, followed with 20 minutes of friends or naps before the next 30 minutes of studying. Now i know why people used to tell me,"Do your masters as soon as possible, when you are older, your pickup gets slower".

Hell, i think it is not just that.. maybe it is the fact that masters subjects are more applied. So when reading one paragraph, the amount of associations and concepts that you need to execute is much more compared to the straightforward concepts during degree. Well, degree in Malaysia, at least.

Owh.. was lepaking at Auntie Azima's house the other day, and uncle Fawzi (her husband) gave a few advice. There were things like:

"Itu la, susah kalau dah senang ni"

and

"The main rule i give to my team is that you gotta have balls, and as long as you don't end up in jail, you'd be fine"

High-risk tolerance man he is, i would say. But he got what he wanted, and he has achieved a lot with that belief system that he has. From Malaysia to Germany, From Diploma to MBA, and many many more. I think he manifests the saying,"if you are afraid of losing, you'll gain nothing".

I think i've found myself a new idol.. :P

Btw, Shahrul.. there is nothing to think about.. go and do your masters!!!!!

M-nite Over.. it's Exams time now!!

Hey ho.. i just noticed that i haven't really blogged for nearly a month now. Well.. I've been busy with all the preparation and all.. and bla bla bla.. I'm sure you won;t be interested with my excuses.

Anyhooo.. Malaysian NIte. went marvellously. Everything sort of fell into place and every piece of the jigsaw puzzle was in their respective place during the show. I can still remember sitting behind of Ikmal, the Stage manager.. with my body shaking and the sudden coldness that i felt in my hands. It's like a father waiting for the birth of his child, or maybe 20% of that feeling (I wouldn't know.. would I?)

It was my first time directing. So who wouldn't be nervous?

Here are a few clips available on youtube. These were taken by some of the audience. Amateur shots.. Can't wait to get the original DVD.

Vinod's opening Dance
Zapin (part 1)
Zapin (part2)
Candyman Dance
Thriller Dance (find me!)
Indian Dance (find me!)

There are a few more dance and defining moments in the play that is not available on youtube. Haih.. Mana DVD ni!!!!!! cepattt!!!

Owh.. am already thinking about the next play, which is planned to be in October, before i come back to Malaysia. It's going to be a serious one, and the script will be written by my friend Andrew from Poland.

This should be interesting.

uh-oh. now back to books!!! examm examm!!!!

Tat nenas

Haih... teringat zaman muda muda dulu (although i look the same.. hehe)

Yo Aroma peeps.. miss you guys! sighh!

Anyways.. here are the pics, thanx to saifulnang photopages. :)

Cheerios!

Me pics in Prague! + Mnite!

Me pics in Prague.. check it out!!

Link to M-nite page! Get details here!

I just submitted one MAJOR assignment, which literally will decide whether i am worthy of a MSc degree, or just cut for a higher diploma. Alhamdulillah, everything went well. Submitted 2 hours before the actual time, which actually is quite a record for me. Kira awal la tu! hehe. normally it would be 10 minutes bfore deadline. :P

Other updates would be M-Nite. Yes yes.. its just around the corner! This Saturday! I definitely think that it is going to be great. I am not saying this because i am the director or anything (if it were up to my directing skills, it may suck!), it is because of the quality of people i have been working with. MSSM's support, the ever-organised producer, the choreographers, Very.. very talented actors/actresses, and also the efficient technical from the crew. Long list of very good people i have worked with. Believe me.. Loongg.. longggg list. Anyways, It has been a very enjoyable experience.

Personally, i can't wait to see the show on stage. It's just that the design of the play is minimalism on props, but heavy on the technical. We can't really get to see the actual "look" off the play. I like this design because it is more practical, since i am not familiar with the stage and all. Don't wanna take unnecessary risks. And it will be less work for the props people.

Hope i've thought of everything though.

However, i can't help but thinking how i am going to miss this afterwards. I drag thinking that this is gong to be over. Wish i can stop time. :). But not everybody can be like Hiro Nakamura. :)

And owh.. other than M-nite.. there is this other thing called exams. Don't have much to say about that. So..

Too dee loooo!!!!

Prague pics coming up!

Exam time tables are out!

Hey ho! Exam time tables are out! Mine is 17,18, and 23rd May.

Not too worried though. I am too distracted by the fact that this may be my last academic exam in my whole entire life. Haha.. classic Tapai, always seeing things in a dramatic way.

ANyways, have to get back to work now. I have 1 preparatory report that is very important due in 1 weeks time! and i have only started page 3 out of 20!. Heheh.. Yes.. yes Subbu... i need this adrenaline rush, so that's why i prefer to start late. To illustrate the cruciality (ada ke perkataan ni?) of this preparatory work, if i dont come up with a satisfactory background reading and presentation, i will NOT get a masters, but a higher diploma instead. Scary huh..

OK now back to workk!!!!!!! Sorry guys, u will have to wait till after exams for the Eurotrip pics. I am now too occupied dealing with both Academic and also curricular stuff. Itu la.. Elin has warned me not to be too active. Hehe.. But sorry lah Elin, my hands are itchy and they cannot be left alone. (why does this sound dirty.. dammit).

Owh.. Malaysian Nite is drawing near.. rehearsals have been marvellous so far! DO come for Malaysian nite.. it's on the 28th of April. Expect to be mesmerized by the talents of actors and dancers! :).

Ok.. Back to workkk... arrrghghh!..(slaps face to gain conciousness)

Apsal hyper sangat ni?

Yo Clown! Why are you holding your crotch.. huh!! HUHHH!!!!!

Bicara Tokoh in London

Went to London a few weeks ago before the eurotrip. Thanx to Pau, tho Dodo didn't bring her trustworthy camera, we still get to take photos. Sharul, Shahril and Alif went as well. Surprised to see Janet and syed sitting down in the hall when we arrived. Cilakak tipu! Thought they were supposed to be in Manchester, preparing for the Eurotrip!

Unfortunately, we met Pau after the talk, so, no pics with the menteris. Haih~!! (Pau, ade gambar masa ceremony tak? kalau ada bak meh?)

No time for elaborations. Just pics pics pics!

Meself, Dodoe,Alif, Shahril & Sharul after the presentation and free lunch. Nasi Ayam!

Two guys. Looking forward towards their bright (or dark) future

This is what i benefited from being friends with dodoe. Learn how to take a (fake) laugh picture. Nampak tak betapa fakenye gambar ni? Heheh.

Look forward to go to London again, but in a more informal setting. It was really cold wearing only a shirt and a coat. Tapi nak smart punya pasal.. what the hell!

Back from the trip!

Heyo peeps!

I Just got back from the trip of my life! went to lots of places, made lots of new friends! Did lots of new stuff!

Tell you guys more about it when i have time. Just wait for the pics! :)
