Last weekend there was a big shoot conducted by Oak 3.

The first day we were shooting out at Punggol and the scene called for three malay pirates to attack on a squad of five Americans patrolling the area.

i gotta hand it to the location... Punggol gave me orgasms of unimaginable magnitudes; it was sweet for a war film.

On set I had a friend from Tisch Asia, Ash, come over to help out taking videos and such for us. He was the director for my first film as a stuntman and main actor. He told me his film was "one of the better few" in their school at the moment. I actually did get a few calls from his friends who asked me for stunt services.

In this shoot I was acting as some young enthusiastic Malay pirate who's all raging with hormones and wanting to get his first kill.

We had a shot where the four of us had to run through the forest, seemingly positioning for an ambush and the camera would track us from the side for the whole 100 metres we ran.

They had some steering wheel device that placed the camera in the middle of it. I asked the people around "what the fuck is that?" and it came out to be some sort of steadycam.

Great... now I've got a new project idea...

Uncle Jimmy was very on the ball that day. He goes crazy mad everytime during big productions like this that there comes a point of time it may difficult to rationalize things... but hey I understand what's happening.

We had a lot of fire effects that day including two real Kar 98Ks that were used by the Germans in World War II. They fired blanks for it and I had a fun time cleaning up the sand in the vagina.

So this American would recce out infornt of his squad, then see us Malay bastards ambush him, he lets go a round, kills one of our men (the guy with the big sword) and then we chase him....

... then i catch up to him and unleash my precision keris blading skillz, bringing him down. The rest pummel him with parangs while i get into position and then slice the fucker to death.

Then we all get shot by the other Americans around... thus my first backfall stunt.

I couldnt remmeber how many times i had to rehearse the falling for the director and crew to see... for the many takes... and it was painful when you land the wrong way. Luckily the gorund was soft sand.

Then a stray rock or two appears out of nowhere.

After that there's a shot were the Americans come closer to our dead bodies, and suddenly I rise up from the dead and attack one of them. He blocks me with his rifle, kicks me in the gut, I stumble back and another American comes and swings his rifle butt across my face. I spin around, fall and receive a pummelling from them with rifle butts and the deadly "Kick sand into nose and mouth" attack.

Was a fun day that time... but then we had to skip the explosion scene and schedule it for another day because the production overran.

The next day, we were over at Fort Canning Park to film a fortress fight scene between the Spanish soldiers and Malay raiders.

What a day it was... I spent lots of time driving Uncle Jimmy's van on the hills of Fort Canning, squeezing through other production vans, dealing with security guards and laughing at the joggers as i spew their lungs full of carbon monoxide as I pass them.

The costumes Oak 3 produced looked really cool. The actors playing the Spanish hail from European countries like Mesopotamia and some were hell of tall. It was like a backwards front flip time travel as I saw them walkign around with those triangle hats and carrying the muskets that Uncle Jimmy and I built from scratch. The muskets really do look sweet!

Uncle Jimmy thought the crew how to make a "smoke machine".. which really is just a tin full of incense (BUT, with modifications made to it). The modifications made by Uncle Jimmy had one tin produce so much smoke it blocked out the vision quite a bit... and we had FIVE of them that day.

I was incharge of fixing up the musket effects, the weapons distribution and nosing around.

Uncle Jimmy had cold feet about how the musket firing effect would look like. The night before he sat in his office, thinking over a musket on how to fix up the wires. The weeks before I was a little bitch to him getting particular to the look of the musket, the measurements, the hammer striker and all those little nitty bits right down to the shape and size of the cloud once the gunpowder effect burns.

I showed him You Tube videos, I showed him pictures and all that till he got so annoyed that he went,"If I follow everything you say... i'll go bankrupt."

Lo and behold, the shot came, nine people stood in one line, muskets at the ready. The leader shouted the command to fire. And boom...

Uncle Jimmy was happy as can be. He showed everyone we met the rest of the day the musket effect after that. I think it looked sweet, too.

After that we had a scene of 15 Spaniards and 15 Malay raiders fighting at the same time.

You have no idea how hard my boner was at that time.

But yet again, the production overran again and we to reschedule the next big scenes to another day. So our two-day shoot transformed into a six-day shoot; this weekend and the next.

Next weekend we'll be doing some raging fires. I'm looking forward to it... I love burning things.

Hi guys back again and this time in full force.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

So here's the deal about this weekend; Oak 3 contacted Uncle Jimmy sometime during fasting month and he went down for a meeting at their office at Tanjong Pagar. Well I tagged along... only to be delighted to know that they're hiring Uncle Jimmy to help them in their war scene.

And of course, I was also there to witness Low Shifu walk straight into a glass door that caused him a cut on the bridge of his nose.

This war scene would be against the Spaniards and Malay pirates in the Phillipines sometime around the 1800s. The location we'll be filming will be at Punggol for the beach war scene and Fort Canning Park for the jungle war scenes.

What's involved currently are sixteen odd weapons, mostly traditional malay swords, including 8 Spanish muskets built from scratch.

The usual special effects follows; gunfire, explosions, fires and fights.

Over the past month, juggling IBP int he afternoon and sawdusting myself in the night building the weapons (all from scratch!) with Uncle Jimmy, has been a pretty interesting experience.

We went nuts a bit and whacked up a real metal sword. We have 8 metal swords in out inventory now. Never have my hands been more veiny than my penis after a midnight hard wank.

Today, we went over to Certis Cisco at Paya Lebar to draw out two Mauser Kar 98Ks for the shoot tomorrow as well. It was fun seeing his armory over there and looking over all the weapons he has in that small cupboard. I took some videos too.

Well enough talk... the first day of shoot is tomorrow and I'll be damned that I'm gonna act as Uncle Jimmy's assistant AND actor-cum-stuntman for Oak 3.

Hope the special lady in her room could be a little bit more patient. After this weekend Ima take you out for a looooooonggggg ride, baby.

A bit of a teaser before I reveal what's gonna happen this weekend at Punggol.

After a month of fabrication, it's finally gonna happen.

And then something the little lady says to me, "We're only similar in one thing - we're married to our work."

I gotta be honest to you man... I keep tryng to find a time to slack with you but I simply cannot. I'm sorry. I miss you.

Hey guys.

I'm currently really busy with many productions so update's gonna be pretty sparse for now.

IBP Shoot is over and I gotta say it's one hell of an experience. But not because of what we shot or whatever the story was... but whatever crap that was thrown at us by either our producer or our Art Director (me) or the entire Henderson community itself.

I thought I had seen the lowest of the lowest of society in this country but I was proven wrong at Henderson road. It's also a funny thing to note that these people are the most humblest and cooperative people I've ever seen. I was talking to Don about it and he replied,"This people probably think that they have nothing to lose."

I think that way, too. I guess that the more we have the more paranoid we are. Maybe that explains the fucking phenomenon called "Political Correctness" and all those defamation crap flying around these days.

Anyways, there'll be a major update sometime at the end of November... right after this big shoot with Oak 3 in Punggol.

Bombs, fires, artillery, rifles and swords.... all in one scene, on one beach. How can you not love it?

At the same time, I've been receiving quite a lot of audition offers from production houses that, I admit, have never heard of like Triple X and Wreck Focus Productions.

Wreck Focus pulled my attention and I took a visit to their site here. They asked me to audition for the role of "Shifty Eyes".

I say, whatever, I'm going.

I've officially gone nuts.

It's day two of my IBP shoot. Four more days.

Currently, Rahman and Daryl have been having only a total of nine hours of sleep since Day Zero. I gotta hand it to them: driving for most of the night and morning and getting about three hours of sleep a day... unpossible!

It's been a blast so far... not because of our fantastic shots or our fantastic Art D that screwed up badly today (me) but the fact that I've seen the best of human beings so far.

Don's just fantastic. I think some would agree that he's our bitching post... like a father figure... in this production and beyond. It came to the point that he suddenly snapped and said,"Stopped asking me to solve things! Settle your own problems!"

It's not like we were asking for help to finish our work, but we're asking for help because some other person isnt doing HER work.

Rahman's the big brother of the team, as usual. Daryl and I are like his little baby brothers following his tail and learning how to walk. Putting Don and Rahman together is like putting salt to acid - boom! Or whatever chemical reaction that makes the sound 'boom'.

While there, then here's Daryl and I still learning how to walk. I'm learning to walk while Daryl is learning how to jump on one leg... always trying to go higher and higher. You know, behind that bastard of a personality sometimes is a really cool and nice guy that i wouldnt mind trusting my porn passwords to. We spent quite a time together in the truck acting as dispatch boys over the past few days and that softer side appears out of nowhere. Pretty cool.

Forgive the patronising but i'm having and itch about the east side of my asshole so i had to scratch it.

Kang Sheng spoke to me once about my blog. He said,"Stop your blog. It isnt serving you anymore."

I would hate to stop blogging... I've too many stories to tell!

But time goes by and I figure out that I have friends who prefer listening to them in person.

The day's are numbered... again?

Well, here it is. After three years of standing up to the politics in Ngee Ann Poly FSV, my final final final project is going into production.

After this, I'm pretty much left with nothing else but Doc Pro, which i had to retake.

I did a bit of a ritual tonight. I called up the special little girl and we had a chat on the phone. I told her I'd be gone... toiling around in the sun... with a tool kit box and walking around half-naked. How sweet of her to then reply,"By the end of your shoot, you'll probably forget about me already."

Not quite sure about that. I dont think I will. Audi Khalid is here to disturb her every night!

I thought of calling Henry up. Just to say hi and stuff. I remember what Kang Sheng and I discussed about him... for the love of god I think KS is right... I gotta break the news some day. For the sake of friendship, I guess.

I called up my NCC officer, Mr. Latiff, too. I heard he was ill so i called to nose around abit. He seems pretty glad I called.

At the back of my mind sticks an image of Uncle Jimmy, bandaged and alone in his office, trying hard to finish up his big project. It's empathy of sorts... I cant make it any time this week because of the shoot and the deadline is the 19th of October.

I spotted my two other good friends, Donald and Javis, online as well. Kinda sweet to see them online again.

Well, enough emo shit. Seriously, I hate to think I'm dropping back to this love crap thingy but there you go. Here's to a good production ahead.

Wish me luck.

Thanks to Kang Sheng, Kai Xiang and Kwang Wei for agreeing to help us out.

Hello all,

As you all know, Uncle Jimmy had an accident last Monday.

.....
....

Here is a picture:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

It was a pretty surreal moment. It was the only day I could come over to office to work on our super big project that-i'm-not-telling-what-it's-about-yet aside from the circle jerk IBP has become.

It was then that I saw the router, that Uncle Jimmy simply didnt want to handle but was forced too after all his tools didnt work, flipped out for the second time that day and sliced a bite out of his finger.

Next thing I know was I was yelled at by him when he noticed I was cleaning up the blood from the sink and floor and switching off the radio and lights in the workshop while he's at the front door of the house ready to run to the hospital.

His old friend, Uncle Leow, fucked his meeting and came down to send Uncle Jimmy to Tan Tock Seng. For a moment, I thought Uncle Jimmy would pass me the keys to his van so that I can send him to hospital. Oh well.

I remember while waiting for Uncle Leow to come, the ah ma ah pa from all over Whampoa came over like a pack of zombies on LSD, crawling all over his finger asking what happened. Uncle Jimmy received a free bandage service from the clinic below and a new box of tissue was passed to me from the uncle at the econ-mart. Sometime he took off the tissue and wiggled his finger to see the skin loosely clinging off whatever that was left.

What was more intriguing was the fact that he was air-writing some chinese characters on his finger.. like prayer. I asked him what was that for and he said he was writing a talisman.

Cool.

When Tan Tock Seng took over my place and served Uncle Jimmy and Leow in the clinic area, I was stuck outside, waiting. I could go off.. but I didnt think that was right. All I could think about was the dripping blood before I cleaned it up and his face, still smiling and laughing in the car. For some sick reason, I imagined the router cutting through the side of my cock. I've no idea.

I sent out sms-es to the others to inform them of what just happened... not because I wanted sympathy... but that a lot of things had to be pushed back now like Mitch's revolver she's booking and some Art Direction stuff I had planned for my IBP.

Btw, thanks Kai Xiang. Heard about the SMS.

I needed someone to call... So who else but..... hauahuahauha.... Yeah man... The very thought of her makes me giggle like a little girl getting a tickle from Kang Sheng before he eats her whole.

Oh, cheesy emotions, thy name is Audi!

Uncle Jimmy came out after a while... and complained he was sleepy after those jabs they gave him. That's when I knew he was back to normal... when the bitching about how fucked up the Tan Tock Seng reception system began. I gotta admit that the two fat ladies at the reception were pretty fucked up. They're slow, unthoughtful, ask stupid questions, dont use their fucking brains and I'm not even sure there was even a system enforced. A system! Yeah.. like.. you know... something Hanna doesnt have.... HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

We got back to the office after that (I had lots of gore thrown at me from other patients and their stories that night) and cleaned up the blood all over the place.

I might sound liek a stupid fool, but we were pretty damned sure that someone up there is doing something.

Just a few days ago, when i was left alone at the Whampoa office, a few strange things happened. I kinda figured out what was happening so didnt really bother about it.

We spotted a few signs as well as the days went by. It was kinda cool seeing things happening infront of your eyes.

ok, whatever.

Spot the half-made musket!

It's Thursday now and my IBP shoot starts this Saturday all the way till Friday.

Uncle Jimmy's doing fine. He didnt even take a day off and instead continued working all the way into the night. What was even more sick was that today I found him knocking on his bandage with a pencil while he was talking to Leow. He said it wasnt painful anymore. Then yesterday he met Adrian Pang... and I'm like... like totally!

He showed me a picture of an indian man with him. I asked who was that.
"Do you remember the M1 IDD commercial? The Mumbai prata one?"

"yeah why.."

"That's the actor. He jsut gave me a job for Vasantham yesterday."

Looks like I'll still be working way after IBP is over.

Thanks to all who were concerned... and i think I just made a new friend. His last name is Phobia.
