疯子？热忱？

收工近一个礼拜

回到过去懒散的生活

分享之前工作的点滴

参与幕后剧组

这是第一次

与之前在综艺节目做幕后相比

差别甚大

综艺节目在studio拍

工作时间定时

电视剧室内户外通吃

工作时间总超过12小时

开始工作时天还没亮

收工时天已暗

只欠没做通宵

与之前当演员相比

差别也甚大

演员只需要在有通告时开工

剧组则是天天开工

第一次做场记

有看到和学到东西

时时刻刻得跟着导演

从中看到导演如何排戏和拍戏

时时刻刻得看着小荧幕

从中看到演员如何演戏

这次的‘跟剧组到处跑’

跑到的地方都很陌生

都很远离我的comfort zone

我的comfort zone是巴生和Damansara一带

不知为何

当我到一个远离我的comfort zone的地方时

就会有一种莫名的不安全感

感觉上离我家很远

离我熟悉的环境很远

所看到的东西全是还没看过的

就是一种陌生感

Cheras

Kajang

Puchong

Ampang

Kuchai Lama

Pudu

Desa Petaling

Taman OUG

这是我随剧组所到的地方

都是之前没去过或去过不上3次的地方

现在

感觉上我真的是去过很多地方

-.-"

说真的

参与剧组的这两个礼拜

每天跑远路

而且每天最多只睡5个小时

很累很累

不过到头来

我问我自己

甘不甘愿？

甘愿

如果时光倒流我会不会做？

我会

曾有人对我说

做这一行全靠一份热忱

难道

这就是所谓的热忱？

What's Your Ace?

What's your ace?

To gamblers

Ace is the 'A' in a deck of cards

Double Ace is where you get triple the amount of your bet in a game of Blackjack

To tennis fans

Ace means a serve that is not returned by the opponent

Players with a strong serve are most likely to get aces

To me

Ace is my new phone

The Samsung Galaxy Ace

I joked that this phone is the product of Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone 4 having sex

Because it simply looked like the combination of those two phones

Some say it's an iPhone 4 wannabe

Whatever

My first phone was the Nokia 6020

It's as old a phone as you can think of

If you forgot those days when phones without Bluetooth existed

This is one of the phones that existed in that era

My second phone was the SE K810i

It's a phone with Cyber-shot

It's a 3G phone

It's a phone that everyone wanted back then

Then come my third and current phone

Samsung Galaxy Ace

A smartphone!

Yes I had to add an exclamation mark there

As I'm new to smartphones

So new that I don't really know how to use this phone at first

It's a big step up from my previous two phones okay?

Furthermore I'm no technology and gadget freak

And also I'm no longer 15 or 16

I'm 21 and am slower in learning than those early teens okay?

Well after several weeks of getting used to the phone

And all the touch-screen techs (yes touch-screen amazes me, still used to all those physical buttons)

I found the phone quite nice

Everything is good

Except the battery

Not saying the battery is terrible

But it's really weaker than average

Made me consider bringing the charger along wherever I go

This has never been the case with my previous phones

Samsung Galaxy Ace

Is as close as I can get to an iPhone

Forget iPhone

There are thousands of iPhone users walking down the street

I wanna be unique as I always do

Petaling Street

Today I went to Petaling Street

And for the first time

I went to the McDonald's there

There are 2 McDonald's at Petaling Street

I went to the one opposite Popular Bookstore

Since it's my first time at Petaling Street's McDonald's

I know this would also be the first chance for me to enjoy the view of the olden part of KL

I purposely choose a table next to the window

The view was very different from the KL we always knew

The buildings are old

Streets narrow

Environment noisy

Even this McDonald's is not the typical McDonald's we are used to

I can feel no air-cond in it

Only the wall fans kept me from sweating

The pedestrians are basically walking next to the place I sit

Just a glass window that separates us

I see Malays Chinese Indians

And lots of foreign workers and tourists as well

After filling my stomach I walked down the Petaling Street

Which could easily be one of the oldest parts of KL still standing today

Lots of 'Nike's and 'LV's

As you know

Almost half of the street are being occupied by foreign workers these days

I automatically be more aware of my belongings once I stepped onto the street

This describes how complex the environment of Petaling Street is

But despite all that

I still find the nostalgic feeling coming to me

Especially when I see those food stalls along the long and narrow alley

Selling Wantan Mee, Pork Noodles, Loh See Fun etc

I can feel the 'olden days' feeling

This is Petaling Street

A street that signifies the history of Chinese settling down in this country

如今外劳占着大半个茨厂街

踏入该区我很自然地就提高警惕提防扒手

可看出来茨厂街如今的环境有多复杂

纵然如此

我还是感受到那股怀旧的感觉

看着那几条窄窄的小巷摆满了小摊子

卖云吞面，猪肉粉，老鼠粉

充满了‘古早味’

这是茨厂街

一条见证华人在这片土地扎根的街道

Break Free

I thought I would do something on that day

I actually planned to do something on that day

Be it just a very simple thing

I didn't do it in the end

I didn't do anything on that day

Does this mean that I broke free?

I really don't know

But sometimes there are things we just have to break free from it

I know this post is very abstract

In it I put lots of thoughts known only to me

You don't have to get what I say at the front

The point is in the final sentence

Think about it and it will mean a thing to you

Being Alone

I love being alone

Don't get me wrong

I don't mean I prefer being alone than being with friends

It's just that I don't mind being alone in a public place

I guess not many could say the same thing

I find enjoyment while being alone as well

Perhaps up till this point you might feel that I'm weird

But I assure that after you read my points

Your opinion would change

When I'm alone

Say

In a cafe

With a cup of coffee

I can fully enjoy the aroma of my cup of coffee

I'll spend my time observing the people around me

I can see different types of people

The way they talk

The way they dress

Their taste of drinks

Their preference of food

Guess their personality

Guess their profession

There are lots of things I could observe and think of when I'm alone

I don't get that luxury while I'm with friends

I'll be so occupied by those jokes and conversations

I wouldn't be able to fully feel the taste of my coffee

I would observe far less people in my surrounding

I wouldn't be worried that those people at the next table will be saying that I'm a lone ranger

Because they might not realize me at all

How I know?

Because when I'm busy with my friends

I probably wouldn't even realize that the person sitting at the next table is alone

Even if they did

So what?

So

To be sipping a cup of coffee

Surfing the net using my laptop

Enjoy what the public TV had to offer

And when I'm tired

Just sit down and observe the people and surrounding

Is a different way of enjoying life

When I'm alone

I could really see and think far more

Then when I'm with my friends

Being alone

Isn't that bad after all isn't it?

Just a note

To those who are very rejective of being alone

Try going alone to somewhere familiar whom you always go with friends

Whether is cafe, restaurant, bookstore, shopping complex or even mamak stall

You would see more of the place and see it differently

Trust me

But here I once again reiterate

I don't prefer being alone than being with friends

I actually prefer being talking and joking around with friends

It's just that I don't mind being alone

Just Can't Get Enough of Just Can't Get Enough

Happy April Fool's day to all

Happy birthday to me

But don't get fooled by this post's title

It's not a fool

Recently

I just can't get enough of just can't get enough

Confusing huh?

Well then

Just enjoy this new Black Eyed Peas song
