161st Movement

Okay, it's been quite a while since I've posted anything decent. I figure my blog readers have all gone away.

But for all you loyalists out there, thanks for perservering! 'Cause I really didn't have much to blog about in the first place, 'cept for the fact that FYP has driven me to the ground. They say that FYP tears people apart, I'm going to have to wait and see if that is true.

I'm also directing a play that's set on June 28th, for those who know the parish of Christ the King, come on down and watch! I'll be releasing the dates etc. soon on this blog and Facebook.

159th Movement

Okay...people say my posts have been very emo...so maybe it's the blog skin that's causing it, SO...I'm going to CHANGE IT!!! (since my daughter has been pressing me to change)

I'm gonna need some votes, who is going to vote that I should change it?

And oh by the way, today was the mid-point presentation for my FYP. It didn't go that bad, because it seemed that the world stopped and everyone listened to me, although I spent a ridiculousy 5 minutes on two slides (which meant the rest of my four team mates had to share another 5 minutes on another 5 slides). Apologies are in order!

And next week is my holiday, but I'm going to be very busy with my FYP, so people, call me out less often!

157th Movement

Alright...FYP has been giving me challenges lately, I won't say stress because the more you say stress, the more stress you'll get. Psychologically that is true, so no arguments.

Also I'm a little worried about TOG now, though I know we are in safe hands...for now. I'll let God do the work while I do the rest of the things humans can do.

I don't have much to talk about, but thanks for spending time here, it shows you're thinking of me (even if you're dead bored or blog-hopping)

98th Movement

There comes a point of time in life where everything comes tumbling down on you. But one would have to understand that that is not God's doing, but rather one's own actions. It's a cause and effect thing, something we may all blame the Lord for.

I know 'cause life just crashed on me, but I noticed it happened because of what I failed to do in the past 10 months. But I'm not going to talk about it...

I've done some sypnopsis for the three films I was talking about in the latest FYP ADVENTURES. I'm doing this so at least I can create some hype for the sales... =/


The Boy who wanted to Change the World
Michael is a child who's had a rough time, he's only 12 and he's seen more than his fair share of life. Walking through torny bushes of his journey, he makes a plan elaborate for a 12-year old to start his world-changing campaign.
But why does he want to change the world? This film will leave you pondering on how he could have, would have changed the world.

Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla
Therese Pennefather is a normal RP girl, but when she gets rejected by every band in RP, she forms her own to show what she can really do.
Take the music from the 60s and replay them in your music players 'cause it's time to ROCK!

God Bless the Broken Road
A prelude to Anam Cara, this tells the story of Matthew and his younger sister Sarah. Their parents leaving them to save themselves from the poison of the world, but Matthew giving Sarah the hope that he can find.
What Matthew doesn't know is that Sarah is dying soon, sooner than he expected.

I have an idea of how I want to raise money for my FYP movie, but I'll have to start this year then.

Instead of selling tarts, cookies or paperclips (YES, some people sell PAPERCLIPS!!!) I'd sell CDs! And inside these CDs will be short films, a series of it. Actually it is just some titles that I had wanted to do for my FYP but got rejected (by myself!) and now it will be shortened...but I would have to find my FYP team first then! But seeing things as it is now, it wouldn't be easy.

Titles include:

The Boy who wanted to Change the World
Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla
God Bless the Broken Road

Yeap, please support! =D

With the Professional Profiling Presentation OFFICIALLY out of the way, I can concentrate on other things like my FINAL YEAR PROJECT!!!

I have let Joel and Nasrin review the script already, and of course as you can see from the tagboard they are positive comments (Justin...don't get cocky). I'm going to finish this script at least before the end of the first FYP.

Finding people for this is also very very difficult, since almost everyone is lazy to do a feature film or are even interested in the same ideals at all.

But I know that I cannot be discouraged...the objective of the film is what I must strive for...did I tell you guys about it? No? Oh, 'cause I didn't say it...anyway, every film has a message, some hidden meaning (usually good) behind every funny scene, behind every crying scene.

So...This is what I aim for:

To tell people that YOU CANNOT SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT LOVE.

It's a very basic message because after all, I'm still an amateur no matter how many praises I get, so don't any one of you complain.

And I'm actually thinking of using the tamil version of Pretty Woman in it.

Speaking about songs, I'll probably just list down some of the songs that I want to use in it.


(not arranged in chronological order)

I've Never Been To Me - Charlene
The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls
What Sarah Said - Death Cab for Cutie
Down by the Lake - McFly
Met This Girl - McFly
Anak (Child) - Freddie Aguilar
Sunray Smile - Daniel Gardner
How Six Songs Collide - Norwegian Recycling


Tentative songs:

Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows
Scars (Stronger for Life) - Corrinne May
Pretty Woman (Tamil Version) - ???
He Will Come and Save You - Women of Worship



Good, update finished, will go back to my script.

"Great Escape"

For the scene where Sarah runs away from home

Second time I'm uploading this video:

"What Sarah Said"

For the scene where the friend is singing about his dead sister, also named Sarah

I've come up with some characters for my musical, and it's very very hard for me to think of all of them because I've never been through this before. Like what my mother said, it would be easier to do something lively and happy, since that's how I am, but what's the whole point of being happy in this demented world of ours? Fix the problem first, then we can be happy...

Anyway, here are the characters so far:

Sarah, 18

Sarah is going through a rough patch in her life, her parents are going through a major argument and her boyfriend that she loves very much turns out to be a jerk. confused, she runs away from home to find some refuge from her twisted life.

(Un-named Friend, for convenience's sake, David for now) Soul Friend, 22

David is like any other 22 year-old, it's just that he doesn't have a job, and knows he has a short time to live, the illness was passed on from his parents and it took away his sister 3 years ago. All he wants to do is to do as much as he can before his time runs out.

And then obviously there are the PARENTS and FRIENDS (Ensemble)

If there is anyone who wants to be a part of this, please be able to commit the whole of next year, I cannot work with people who wants to leave halfway or works with a half-hearted er...heart.

If you want to be a part of it, please leave your name and contact (if you're someone I know, don't bother leaving contact) under the COMMENTS section of this post. Thanks!!!

My main song for the musical, a musical of hurt.

When you were born into this world
Your mom and dad saw a dream fulfilled
Dream come true, the answer to their prayers

You were to them a special child
Gave 'em joy every time you smiled
Each time you cried, they're at your side to care

Child, you don't know, you'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

How many seasons came and went
So many years have now been spent
For time ran fast and now at last you're strong

Now what has gotten over you
You seem to hate your parents too
Do speak out your mind, why do you find them wrong

Child you don't know, you'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you near

And now your path has gone astray
Child you ain't sure what to do or say
You're so alone, no friends are on your side

And child you now break down in tears
Let them drive away your fears
Where must you go, their arms stay open wide

Child you don't know, you'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you here

Child you don't know, you'll never know how far they'd go
To give you all their love can give
To see you through and God it's true
They'd die for you, if they must, to see you live

FYP Adventures

My synopsis so far:



Sarah is 18.
She has her parents, and has an older sister.
Her family is falling apart.
She wants to save what’s left of her family; she wants to know how to do it.
Then along came a man.
He wants to help her, and he wants to help before it is too late, for both him and her.
Sarah does not know what to do, being only 18; she wants to be wild and free from the troubles of the secular world. She wants to ride off into the setting sun with a man of her dreams.
But she will soon realize that the home is the place where she needs to ride off to.
