It's another day filled with robust challenges and different mentality. It's tiring that I had to reach home at 3.30am and slept at 4.30 but kick-started my day at 6.45am just to get things rolling by 8.45.
First things first, many people sent their well wishes via me to BIG BOSS who is not exactly having chicken pox. It's an early sign of it, but since it's treated immediately and responding well to the medication, I'd say, it's just rashes with joint pain and muscular aches. Even I have muscular aches too. Went for Head, Shoulder and Hand massage yesterday with my buddy just to make sure it's rejuvenated. We're really feeling so much better after that.
Oh well, next there's also the visit of Julia Gillard and her administration. The first official visit to Malaysia as Prime Minister of Australia. In other official business, there's the cabinet briefing, the European Officials and US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton and Entourage here as well and then proceeding to Parliament Seating. While I'm at that, I just want to tell those who freak out (like Raymond did when he heard about my OK-ing to the proposed raise of the service tax from 5% to 6% for the Budget 2011 the other time). There's not going to be a BIG IMPACT to normal car users. PLEASE! Don't bombard my phone about it. I chose not to post or comment about it already, yet all of you wanna debate some more. Hello, you're not driving and expensive, damn changgih car that MUST pour RON97 into it. What's 5sen/liter to you if you can afford such a luxurious car. Well, with the exception of the minority such as people like my "poor" friend Khai who drives a Naza Bestari 206 - which is a remake of the Peugeot 206 and MUST run on RON97. Else, humans residing in Malaysia, calm down. Diesel and RON95 no increase in price. No impact on you. That has been the best move for our team to have devised such a "plan" to best fit people first; achievement prioritized. (Geez, beginning to sound like one of ya'all).
In other turn of events, we move into the private business section. There's M-IFW by MIFA that's starting tomorrow. Loads are scheduled for a colorful week. And discussions on the 3rd KLIFF or Kuala Lumpur International Film Festival 2010 (from 24th to 28th Nov) was very fruitful. In fact, other more fruitful conferences are like the 1 Malaysia Golf Challenge 2011. I'm so excited and looking forward to that. There's also the Futsal thingy and Green Technology thingy too. Oh, and Bryan and team's ISAR campaign. Sigh.. so much to talk about. I even had a good time after going back to my vacated office room in Level 75 today. I've not gone back there for about 2months now. It's like so clean but piled with tonnes of work and files etc awaiting my presence. So, I've scheduled tomorrow to go back there and sit down and look into all of them again. Tower 1 is excited to see me once again. Hahaha.
Ok, moving into personal stuff. Of cos, it's my passion. Weeks ago, during the media release and conference of 'Escape from Jiangnan'; the producers had announced that due to the popular demand and major flooding of fan mails to their office requesting and asking about when will they ever make the continuation to an old hit series I've created with them; they decided to start work on Season 3 of 'The Eric Factor'. As they announced it, everyone was so excited and fans poured lots of ideas and suggestions including plots to us. The director and producers asked if I wanted to work on it and I saw my 'baby' was once again to be seen on screens. I agreed to help compose their scores, write the scripts and screenplay as well as this will be my first time to also co-direct in terms of working on aspects such as the cinematography, the camera angles as well as soundtracks etc. I will also reprieve as the role of Eric and this season will include a few more supporting characters including a neuro-surgeon consultant who is naive and yet seductive. This role is announced to be played by the famous Emily Kiu. The cast will also see an addition of a hardworking forensic specialist and a psychologist who will be helping Gilbert in his cases. More synopsis later. Here's a little spoiler though. A character will be dying in this Season finale. The producers will also be interactive to let some contests be the decider of certain scenes and their outcome as well as to some characters of their change in life path.
Ok, more private stuff now. Had some short time, so I spent those moments with my daughter Sophie. Had a quick thought that I've not had much time with her for the past 2 yrs (OMG, she's turning 3 in 3 mth's time!) so, i have to make it up and give my time to her. We played and she really was cute and shy. Still better than before. Her smiles are so genuine now and lovely-dovey. Playful and naughty as she can be, climbing around us, wanting us to carry her and pamper her. She was playing with the puzzles which is meant for 3yrs and above. Goodness, how smart she has become. She also mess the play room alot and play catch with the rubber ball all by herself. She could recite from 1 to 15 too. She's still clingy onto Playhouse Disney and starts dancing with some of the tunes.
As Chris and I were chatting about other cartoons, we realized that nowadays, most of the cartoon are getting immoral and violent to the sense that, it's not suitable for viewership even as an adult. Parental Guidance is really required. Ben 10 fights too much. Shaun the Sheep is teaching kids to bully the dog and deceive the farmer. What is going on with cartoon nowadays? No doubt some has good content and teaching issues but some stories are just bad influence.
Oh well, looks like another day to wrap up things. Before that, I was talking to ZM about her "Dark Chocolate" and then, "Red Bean" appeared online and we're still discussing on things as we speak (wow, hours already!). Time to put full concentration in making it my new "Milk Chocolate" =)
