Beyond The Still: A Short Film by Visual Story

From the first time I met Nigel Sia, I come to know that he can take very good photos with his Canon DSLR camera. He then moved on to do videos. He is very nice to helped me on my Rihanna's Umbrella video 2 years ago when I have to do it for an advertorial. I know nuts about video editing then. He quit his job and is now a full time freelance photographer and videographer. Some of the wedding videos he and his friends shot are very good, might even gives Kidd Chan a run for his money :p (just kidding). If you are getting marry and haven't get photo/video arrangement yet for you wedding day and dinner, you can starts by looking at Visual Story.

Recently he shot this short film "Beyond The Still" with Joshua Ong, Ren, and Joshua Wong. This short film was shot using solely Canon DSLR cameras. I will say, it's actually very good. Maybe not a Wong Fu Productions yet but given time, these guys could be our very own local version of Phil, Ted and Wes.

Do go watch it in YouTube so that you can like this video. I'll save it and watch it again on the Nokia E7 that can play HD video, my laptop's screen just won't do justice to this short film. Also, they made it to the final selection for The Star In.Tech competition.

Please help vote for Team: Visual Story here if you think that this video is good.

By the way, these are some of the behind the scene photos shot by Jason Lioh.

After looking at the gorgeous girl video, maybe I should buy a Canon DSLR, since my Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera was stolen when I was in Hong Kong :p

P.S. Remember to vote for Team Visual Story here.

I.M. Magazine Launch, Barcelona, Sunway Pyramid

My friend Edmund invited me to his company's magazine launching last two weeks ago which was held in Barcelona, Sunway Pyramid. Pyramid is one mall that I seldom come, so finding Barcelona took me quite some effort but thanks to the help of the customer service executive there I was able to find it.

Oh, I nearly forgot to mention what magazine. I.M. Magazine which is a magazine about individual Malaysian here and abroad and a magazine cater towards Malaysian with news and info about Malaysian for Malaysian. The first publication was published in June. They only do the launch in August to coincide it with National Day and the launch of their online version.

Guest signing in.

There is a racing game challenge outside sponsored by M-150 Power Drink. The grand prize is a Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT. You'll have to be the fastest on the track kekeke. Find out their roadshow venues and try your luck to win the car here.

Justin sold his Lancer, so now he's trying to win it back.

There's food, free flow Tiger Beer, and also fashion and makeup booths inside. Well, the booths are meant for girls. I don't need makeup from Bloop or dress from MyFavourites.com :p I also suck in racing game so, I'll just take my booze and wait for the lucky draw. The best prize is a Sony Ericson C903 Cybershot phone. ^_^

There were also catwalk with models showing off Sony Ericson C903.

Lauching of I.M. Magazine online version. www.imag.com.my




The second round of catwalk, the models put on clothing by Puma.

After that there is performance by KL Stomppers, our very own Stomp.




Picture with my secondary school juniours.

Too bad, this time my lucky draw luck is a not as good as when I was in the F&N Freestylz event. I got a Got Milk? T-shirt and a Lecka-lecka cash voucher from answering question. I want the Sony Ericson T_T

Michelle got makeup and T-shirt.

I got T-shirt and Lecka-lecka voucher.

Joanne got a bag from Puma. Nice.

The last performance was dance by Dance Angels from Barcelona. I didn't stay back to watch, I went to Justin's place to play Guitar Heroes.

He's Just Not That Into You - BMM3

I missed the first and second Bloggers Movie Meets but I made it to the third one this time. Even though it means that I won't be having enough sleep because I'll be working night shift on that day itself and I have to wake up at 11 am.

Made my way to the meeting point, McD's in Cineleisure. Jeffro was already there.



Aaron was so nice to bring half a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts that he got from the pre-launching. I had half a ring. Not bad, the texture is firmer than J. Co and Big Apple. The first outlet opened on 27th April 2009 in Berjaya Times Square. I wonder who got the 1 year supply of Krispy Kreme. I'm not much of a doughnut fan, so I will wait for the heat to cool down before buying different flavour to try.

How long is 33 movie tickets stick together?


Well, the answer is that it's longer than Pam's height.



Nigel brought some Roxy and Quiksilver calendars and give it to the bloggers that came that day.

Jamie with her Roxy calendar.

The movie is not bad and it's quite funny too with a few cheesy line. It's good to watch but not good enough for to watch it more than once. Near the end of the movie, us bloggers got a pleasant surprise because when before the ending credits, the screen suddenly showed pictures of a couple that we don't know. Then, candles were being light up and there's three guys went to the front with guitar and started to sing. Only than it got me that there's someone in the audience wanted to propose to his girl friend. He chose a good time to do this because there're 33 bloggers in there and some with DSLR. With such a scene happening right before our eyes, of course the bloggers will shoot picture and video like nobody's business. There were like 6 or 7 DSLR surrounding the couple and shooting away.


Friends of the couple singing love song to build the mood.

Jack was able to captured this memorable scene in video.




I thought things like this only happens in movie or TV. Never thought that I will encountered it in real life. After the proposal, us the audiences cheered and clapped for the groom and bride to be. Then we took a group photo and adjourned to Laundry for a drink.



Even when we were sitting down having a drink, bloggers will be bloggers. Cameras out and shooting begin again.

Pam and TimTam

Pam got some scratches on her hand. Go to her blog if you want to find out more of the story behind the scratches.

Just Do It!

I left earlier because I still have to work at night. Well, it's fun to have a gathering with fellow bloggers and added the extra drama with the marriage proposal inside the cinema.

KY's Xmas Eve Party 2008

Last year Christmas Eve I went gate crashing to KY's Xmas Eve party. Anyway, his party is somewhat an open invitation anyway. This year is the 5th installment of the annual affair and I once again went to KY's Xmas Eve Party to celebrate Christmas Eve because I know it will be damn fun.

From top left:

Sheryl which just came back from Germany, she just finished her Masters there and will be continuing her PHD after this. She's a common friend of KY and me before KY and I know each other.

With KY and his RM 200 worth of Little Chef. His Little Chef is so popular that everyone wanted to take picture with him.

Firdy the web designer of Nuffnang.

Huai Bin whom I just met recently. He really can party.



From bottom left:

Ei Ling came to KY's place already almost drunk. She started drinking since 12 p.m. She brought 2 bottles of Absolut Vodka. Mango and Peach. I only tried the mango's on the rock. Well, vodka is really not my cup of liquor.

Cindy of MDG fame starts to camwhore with anything in sight just as she reached.

Horng opening a bottle of Hoegaarden that I brought for Cindy and her friend with a spoon.

Cindy camwhoring with KY's disco light.


Pictures with some of the regulars in KY's Xmas party.

Clock wise from top left: Reta, Nicholas, Kimberly and Suanie.

Later into the night a lot more people came. Some are new and many more familiar faces.

Tock Tock came with Zoe, they were stuck in a jam after they did Christmas shopping in 1 Utama.

First time meeting Selina.

Yee Hou, whom is still sober at the time.

Holding a bottle of Tuborg there and taking picture with ST, Michelle and SM Chicken. Thanks Siao Ling for bringing the free beer sponsored by Tuborg.

Then Terrence started diligently going around distributing his self-mixed cocktails, asking everyone to try. One is call Life and another is Death. Each is contained in a large mug.

Terrence creating a whirlwind in the bottle which will make the beer gushing out, the person that accept the offer must down the beer in one go.

Huai Bin accepted the offer twice, you can see the videos here. We all lose to Rachel in this because she did it like 4 times and still going strong. I only managed to finish the bottle in two interval.

Zoe trying out the taste of Death.


Ei Ling not only brought the vodkas but also brought a box of Fidani chocolate from her company. KY distributed the chocolate to the all the people there. The taste is marvelous.

Huai Bin then started the Fidani challenge by sharing one piece of chocolate with another person and have to be eaten together using only mouth. More of the kinky pics here.

After the clock strike midnight, it's time for the gift exchange game. This time there's no theme or dress code. Last year's theme is Ah Beng & Ah Lian. Which FA complained me that I didn't dress according to the theme. Too bad this year she's didn't join us. Since there's no theme, so the catch is the gift is something wearable. The person who open the gift have to wear the gift.

There gift like condom, lipstick, socks, lace stockings, scarf, apron, panties, night safety vest, Japanese pervert hero costume, bra, Dragon tie clip, Heineken Hat and etc.

Zoe is no.1 and she got a safety vest but not for long because I stole it from her at my turn.

Yee Hou got a lipstick and he has to wear it and he kissed KY after he wore it on his lips.

Faye got the Hard Knocks School apron that I got from Royal Selangor Pewter Factory during my visit there.

Shaolin Tiger stole the Dragon tie clip from Horng while Kimberly covered herself with the scarf.

Huai Bin then try to demonstrate the right way to wear the condom because Terrence broke the condom with his hand.

By far the most popular gift is the Heineken Hat which was brought and then got it back by Michael because Elfie wanted it.

After the gift exchange, it's all else break loose because Huai Bin, Faye, Zoe, Yee Hou and I started some kind of kissing spree. With Huai Bin and Faye in the leading because they kissed the most people there.

You can see from here that some of us are very highly under the influence of alcohol.

Yee Hou, Zoe, Faye and Huai Bin are testing out the lipstick.

The nice people from PDRM was alerted once again and Huai Bin manage to get a picture. This is like an annual affair to them too lol. After most of the people went home, some of those that stayed is either passed out or is highly intoxicated or those waiting to go for supper.

I think Huai Bin didn't really know what he's doing when he's trying to do "foot reflexology" on Siao Ling. Zoe too got the same treatment from Huai Bin and Faye.

After that we all went to Ming Tin to have supper. Huai Bin really passed out after the supper. Shaolin Tiger and Terrence have to carry Huai Bin to Tock Tock's car. Tock Tock, Yee Hou, Zoe and I then have to carry him when we reach his place. He kept leading us to the wrong direction and making us walking in circle. Lucky Yee Hou make a decision to go to the floor that Huai Bin first mentioned to us. We then sent him to his apartment safely.

It was already 5 am when I reached my home, I felt like puking at first but I was too tired. I slept like a baby and woke up in the afternoon. After a drinking session like this, I think I'll let my liver rest for one week first before I drink again. New Year's Eve coming, and I still don't have any plan yet. Anyone having a party on New Year's Eve?

HH's Wedding Dinner, West Lake, Sunway Resort Hotel

December, I think is a good month for the Chinese to get married because so many of my friends are getting marry this month. So, early this month, I was a heng dai (brother/ku li/front liner/bodyguard) for my friend of many years (since high school) HH. I literally have to eat shit (made of chocolate and banana) out of a pampers when we go to get the bride from the hotel room. You know lah, there's always games, traps, barricades, quiz, and etc before the bridegroom can even see his bride's face.





Warning: Gross picture ahead

Chocolate Banana Cake?

Warning: Tidak Ditanggung Halal

Okay. Gross stuff aside. Let us go to some real good food that I had during the wedding. First off is the roast whole pig waiting for us in HH's house after we pick up the bride and the chi muis. I personally tell the chef to cut me a "sa lei tuk" (I think it's the upper pig shoulder, I might be wrong) (buttock according to Lisan. Thanks.). This is like the best cut of a roast pig. The skin is so crispy, the whole piece just melted in my mouth. OMG. The best roast pig I've eaten so far. Maybe it's because, the sifu just started to cut it and it was just out from the roaster not long.

My "sa lei tuk" on top of my hakka yong tao fu. My friend purposely go to find to caterer from a hakka village.


Halal from here onwards.

Fast forward to the evening. I was the PA guy but there's still time in between that I can quickly wallop the dishes. The usual 4 dishes combination is not usual at all. This the first time I see lobster salad in this dish in a wedding dinner.

There's also big Japanese dried scallop with spinach. One whole big dried scallop. My "yan ching" (money gift) might not be enough for the whole feast :p

Australian Lobster & Japanese Dried Scallop Combination


Next up, as usual is the shark fin but in this dinner, nothing is the usual at all. Here, there's no diluted and thinly sliced shark fin, instead we have a generous amount of crab meat and a whole pieces of 'Chong Bao' shark fin. The crab meat and shark fin is enough to filled up two bowls for each of us. (Okay, our table is 1 person short but still.)

Braised 'Chong Bao' Shark Fin Soup with Crab Meat


They also provide beansprout and ham slices as optional condiment to the shark fin soup. This is the first time I see this comes with the shark fin soup.

Ham Slices & Bean Sprouts


Next is a scallop dish again but this time it is fresh scallop. The size of the scallop is quite big too. The mushroom is also very fresh, I especially like the crunchiness of the lotus root. So sweet and crunchy.

Szechwan Style Sautéed Scallop with Assorted Vegetable

Assorted Vegetable - Lotus Root, Asparagus, Wood Fungi, and Oyster Mushroom

After that is the steamed fish. Nothing to unusual about that except that it's very fresh. The sauce also quite good.

Steamed Bamboo Fish in Hong Kong Style

Feels so like biting it right now.

Next is one of my favourite dish of the night, lucky I eat it while it's still warm. Why? Because there's cheese in the dish. Big ass tiger prawn in cheese. The sauce is so cheesy and creamy. The prawn is fresh and succulent. The prawn head is exceptionally distinct. It's too hard to describe.

Baked King Tiger Prawn with Cheese & Superior Stock

I was eager to dig into the prawn hence this picture is taken very quickly.

This is the last dish that I was able to snap a picture. Were busy going around to drink with the guests when the bridegroom and bride went to "geng chao" (toasts to the guests). It look plain but the ingredient used is not so plain. Chilean abalone and sea cucumber. Nice.

Stewed Chilean Abalone with Sea Cucumber and Gluten

The rest of the dishes are:

Braise Ee-Fu Noodle with Sliced Chicken (Not bad)

Sweetened "Bai Nian Hao Hou" with Lotus Seed (Normal)

Chinese Pastry in Two Varieties (Normal)

This is one of the best wedding dinner that I've ever eaten. Lastly, I want to congratulate HH and WC again. Fast, fast make babies.
