Of Broken Rules...

I guess I've broken the golden rule of blogging. It is said that best blogs are those that are updated on a daily basis. Aww.. C'mon! I've got things to do, people to see, ideas to pen and productions to produce. However, I will try my best to provide you readers/viewers (re/viewers?) with what GOD has to offer through this mediocre brain of mine.

Recently, I was privileged to have witness the documentary titled "Bra Boys". Nope! Its not about confused sexually challenged men! Its the story of the infamous bra boys of Australia. What started as an outcast juvenile urban cult, evolved into a responsible community group that endorses healthy, active and caring lifestyle. All of this, through the sport of SURFING! Oh yeah.. it was narrated by Russel Crowe and directed by Sunny Aberton, one of the pioneering Bra Boys gang and a world class surfer that sparked beachwear brands like Billabong and publications like Surfer Magazine.

Many in Malaysia would easily come to the conclusion that this story is just about sex, brawls and white pride. I beg to really differ, as its actually about going against statistical odds and living life triumphantly despite "bad" experiences. But most of all, is not about giving in to societical norms or stereotyping and living life the best we can.

We place so much emphasis on avoiding failure that we become complacent, frustrated cattles awaiting colonial and capitalistic axe strikes, killing us before we even truly begin living. What we fight for is the right to live, earm meager earnings and keep on living, not living at all, if you truly think of it. The rich grow into a society that believes that their hardwork should be a secret so as to keep wealth within the circle. Again, a strategy that the colonists have implanted into the fabric of how colonised societies should live. We are weak merely because we have been kept stupid. The angel said to Prophet Muhammad(saw) "READ!"..Hint?!

Break out! Make mistakes! Ask questions. Think about this, the opposite of divide and conquer IS UNITE AND LIBERATE. This can be applied on so many levels, question is... have we really done so?

Anyways, now that that is off my chest..(emotional outburst which i am not sorry for)...lets take a look at todays video. River surfin' man... a sports we definitely can do and enjoy.



I've always been interested in surfing and after sunway lagoon installed the standing wave feature, I've tried it only once. Why? Coz spending over fifty bucks for just a chance to ride a wave is just ludicrous. Especially when my kids can't enjoy this activity with me. So, slowly, I'm trying to find places where we could all enjoy and congregate for river surfing. White water rivers are too dangerous so looking for ideal conditions should be in itself, an adventure!

So whadya say? Surf anyone?

A Play Vid

Here's another video project that our team decided to put together. Its just a bunch of high speed shots (approx 290fps) taken with the new Sony HDD cam. Looks cool knowing that you can actually take a "mythbuster" style shot of executed moves. Notice the amount of detail captured or just enjoy the footages. Oh yeah, by the way, the content owner does have the video in better quality. So, if anyone is interested in purchasing any of it, it is possible. Email us.

1st Post! And its about an event...

Hi Malaysian peeps! We were very lucky to have been invited by an event management company to the media launch of their upcoming event scheduled for 31st October 2008. A mouth full, eh?? The event is called SCREAM and its happening at Sunway Lagoon's Elephant Walk.

According to the organisers, this will be among the first large scale thematic parties to hit the streets of the Klang Valley. Here's why I like it... Right next to the party area is Sunway Lagoon's Scream Park. For those thinking that its just another "rumah hantu", you're sadly mistaken. They really know how to work the fear factor into the experience. Its simple yet spine chillingly scary. Integrating lygophobia (thats fear of darkness), merinthophobia (fear of being bound) and other phobias, the scream park tests your fear limit.

Girls, this is a good way to find out what kinda guy you have as a boyfriend.





Ok! Now back to the event. SCREAM patrons will be entitled to discounts for the Scream Park on that day so don't miss out. More info on http://www.myspace.com/screamlivex3



Anyways, take a look at the video and we'll see you at the event!
