Who Are We ???

there has been some serious racial issues going around recently....

well tomorrow is the national day.... well my home Malaysia ...

well i would say my home as i was born here not anywhere else....

if you ask me am i a chinese ? the answer is yea... as in from china? hell no.....

i cant even speak chinese properly what makes me a real chinese ???

but i am proud to say that i am better than any mainland chinese as i am multi-lingual !

i speak chinese and english since young ... was later taught malay in schools

well if you ask me am i a chinese ? i would love to say erm malaysian ?

but issues of racism rising... (such a shame)

i am from Malaysia and Malaysia only both my parents too...

i don't get it what s wrong with the older generations still lingering in those issues of Bumiputera and non bumi's...

if achieving 1 malaysia is in mind then the rights of the people in malaysia must not be define by our skin colors....

to me malaysian is malaysian not malay, chinese, indian or any other races....

i am happy to have lived in Malaysia a country i can call my home...

filled with wonderful places, different cultures and ethnicity....

a true merdeka spirit is when each everyone of us let go of our ego of skin colors and forget of the past.....

why i say so ?

well, issues only comes in if the old keep feeding the younger generations with with stories of the past....

the only way for malaysia to be truly achieve its freedom is by liberate younger people's mind from this stories.... we are all educated from young we don't need any other people to tell us the stories over and over again.... so...

why stick with the past when everyone is walking towards future...

well let us younger generation stop thinking about the past and walk to the future together....

then we are at least a few step closer to becoming a great country

i just read a blog post from the great grand daughter of our the late Tunku Abdul Rahman regarding this issue....

well i feel what she said was quite true....

(For the concept to succeed, I think the government should stop with the race politics. It's tiring, really. We grew up with application forms asking us to tick our race. We should stop painting a negative image of the other races, stop thinking about 'us' and 'them' and focus on 'we', 'our' and 'Malaysians'.) quoted from her blog

well i truly hope the idea's of Malaysia as One could come true.....

Happy Birthday Malaysia

Merdeka !!

Astro Star Quest 2010 (2010年Astro新秀大赛) Mv shoot : Yi Poi's MV, on my owned now

Yi Poi 张诒博 - Yi Liu 遗留 from Gino Cheah on Vimeo.

it have been already a year passed since last years Astro Star Quest 2010 (2010年Astro新秀大赛) Mv shoot...
well this time of the year i am now on my own....
this i shoot my own MV not working for any directors this time....
well directing is not easy ...
tough and brain consuming... but another fun for me

this Mv is all plan, directed, art direct, director of photography, editing and so on by me....
well i did have my own crew to this time...
and who else if it isn't my team of warriors the Zoo Frenz...
having them around helping was my pleasure...

well shooting this is very challenging 1 day, 1 Mv, 1 artist, 1 winner, 1 director, and 1 camera
faced tonnes of troubles like... traffic completely blocked from entering the artist's hotel due to a gargantuan marathon held around KL....
Then a race against time as everything has been delayed....
then camera kept overheating....
the prop Vespa we were supposed to used broke down... had to rewrite the script and flow on the spot...
well then location of house problem ...
well and a lot of teeny weeny problems didn't mention...
but doing it was my passion and lucky with gods blessing everything seems to end quite ok although its not what i wanted but i manage to finished it....

So have a look in the Mv and let me know what you think....
well its not perfect and not the champion but its still the top 5 Mv's hahaha

Well i can officially say that i have spent this few months of my life making myself completely packed with thousands of things to do....

My house seems to be a place for me to just sleep....

everyday after i open my eyes it would be bathing then work and then lunch, office then back to work...

then a few weeks ago i even touch a competition Astro's Astro新秀大赛2010 (Astro Star Quest 2010) MV Director competition.....(making me busy as an ant)

well maybe its my luck manage to be shortlisted to compete in the Final 5 MV Director's

(PS: stories about this event will be up soon bare with me)

Well interning in has took most of the time in my life....

i don't even have time for myself.....

well my wallet is torn yet still haven't had the time to buy one....

need to catch up a lot of movies which i missed this pass few months....

missed my friends a lot.... hahaha....

i will certainly feel very weird when we begin to go back to classes in Uni a few months later

everything won't be the same anymore .... all of our knowledge would grow and we would also mature in a sense...

(Suddenly felt afraid as everyone would be equally good)

to stand out from others i would need to work even harder ....

as in the Creative line no one is safe and on top of the world....

so many things a running through my mind mix feelings and everything don't seem to come as desired....

well i still believe when one door closes another opens......

well got to get back to work....

my next post would be a recap of the MV competition

Luv,
