Official business

It's strange, and funny at the same time. I've handled many things before. Having meetings with top management and director while knowing I'll have my ass handed to me, trip to overseas and make decisions on the mixing for the film, made phone calls to companies local and overseas that involves big money, many many things that would have left scared shitless and trembling. 

Yet the minute I stepped into the RHB Bank branch earlier today to make a deposit to my credit card, my hands were sweaty and the hairs on my back stood. The deposit slip shaked in my palms and when it was my turn, I crept nervously to the counter.

"Dah ada ASB account?" Akak counter

"DON"T STEAL MY MONNEEEHH!!!!" said I

Ok so maybe I'm exaggerating the whole thing... a little. But really I somehow get really really nervous with all this normal official stuff that I shouldn't. Banks, Car related stuff, ASB, House rental, even bloody post office errands. Really really.

I somehow have this fear that the person in charge will shove down their administration down my throat and lock me up for a million years. Somewhat lah! I'm still trying to get used to this. 

I find it funny that I'm nervous with post office and banks.

Films and tickets

Picture this; While kids cry and parents try every little energy in them to supress all angst and dissapointment, the LCP team rejoice and applaud looking at the cinema screen showing Geng tickets are sold out.

We're sorry you didn't get to watch it yet, but we love you so much for your support.

I find it funny that people react differently to Geng's ticket sales.

I find me blogging about bloggers funny

Seriously... 30 minutes spent at 1.30am to blog about bloggers.

Sad innit? Naaawwww I'm waiting for Zaki to finish up on his work.(alasan)

I find me funny

I still find bloogers funny

Why? Cos bloggers are inconsistent beings. So here it is, our film explodes and so too does the online coverage of the product. Early bloggers gave rave reviews and told everyone to watchit. So everyone did. And now every single humble audience who has a personal blog (well that's quite a lot now innit?) has expressed his/her overjoyed experience of the film in their own blog. Now wait I dont condone of this. I love it extremely. It is with these sort of blog posts do the drive to try harder and to climb higher keep on burning in me. I thank all who have supported and all who have watched.

So what's funny? Those who originally gave good reviews about us, then suddenly realised that his/her blog isn't so special anymore since everyone else gave a good review as well. I mean come on we gotta be different right? 

So what can you do when everyone else is giving two thumbs up and the likes? Why give them the exact opposite of course! Show them what you think! Prove through your review how smarter you are and how well you would've done it better if you have had the same chance. Be the most anal as you can be and disect the story like a cadaver! Cringe while others applaud! 

Yeap that's how you'll get the attention. By being an inconsistent insincere nitwit and say the exact opposite of what you felt early on. 

Nerds... all you had to do was be honest in the beginning and I'd respect that. If you didn't like it... finnnee... if you liked it... wahey let's be friends! 

But don't go around telling two different stories altogether. 

Oh I also find "reviewers" who dissect films by going through minute by minute looking into every aspect and detail to find faults and mistakes a buncha hillarious geeks. Can you imagine how hillarious these people seem to be. To pay 10 bucks, walk into a hall (with popcorn and softdrink in hand... or not) and to NOT do the one thing you're supposed to do in a cinema hall... watch and enjoy the film, but instead aaannaaallise. (Have you ever felt that it's funny the word analyse can't be spelt without 'anal'?[ yes i'm a english twit who spells analyse with an s, so shutit you yanks])  

I'm not talking about people who watches films and critic them. Naw that's fine. I do that all the time. I'm talking about these doods who keep their watches ready, watching the film, eye on the minute handle and going "AHA!!! 10th minute and nothing happens!! Not so smart now Mr Director!!" or "Ahah! Where is the plot point?! Where is the midpoint?! And by god how does this all fit into the Hero's journey I've learnt in class?!!!"   

Because we took the hero's journey archetype and threw it out the window. Why? Because it's just a guideline you nerds... Chill and just enjoy the film. If you don't, then fine eat your popcorn and stop looking at the watch. The film will be over soon. 

Wahey looks like I'm back to ranting again!

I find film critic bloggers funny

ps- I still respect and appreciate all who have watched, enjoyed/not so much enjoyed, and gave their reviews about Geng. All your feedbacks (both good and bad) have been taken into account. Seriously, chill. I get it that the snake was scary. I respect even those who didn't enjoy the film but supported us anyway. It means a lot to me. 

I find it funny that LCPeans work they way we do

Well okay this goes straight regarding The Making of Geng or Geng: Di Sebalik Tabir. When a director came in to prove he was right for the job of directing a full live action feature film under our producer's support, we rejected it and said it was way too boring and serious. We wanted the making of geng to be fun and informative. 

Of course he didn't get it but that's beside the point. The point is our team took over the project and worked so hard to make it as fun as possible aside being very informative to mainstream audience. After another revamp of the project, we finally got it right. All the pioneers acted as lively as we could, making ridiculous jokes and acting, basically making a fool of ourselves in hopes that audiences would really enjoy it.

So what's funny? Now the team just realised everyone in Malaysia would probably have seen the show and will recognize us and our ridiculous gags. Now the team is ever shy with whatever it is they did and hope not too many people would have seen the show and recognize us in the streets.

I find us funny

I find it funny that I'm shy of my postings

This just happened a while ago. I just found out that my colleague knows of this blog without me advertising it and she has actually read my old Voobe blog. What's weirder is that she's read it even before entering LCP.

Staaaallkkeerrrr!!!

But then a blog is public and anything I write is free for all to read. It's funny that I let myself pour thoughts and opinions in blogs with obscenity and ocassional profanity without wanting anyone outside to read it. Silly Anas. Blogs aren't supposed to be private. Hypocrite. I bet she's smiling at this Irony.

I find it funny that I don't really like people reading my blog

I find it funny that taxi drivers drive the way they do

We all have had our own fair share of taxi rides. Who doesn't? We've been car-less at one time, or simply taking the public transportation because we can't be bothered to be stuck in jam. 

What strikes me as... well funny, is how taxi drivers continue to drive the way they do. Yes you know what I mean. Absence of signals, complete disregard of public and personal safety, and absolutely no respect for the law. Ok lah I guess there are some normal ones. I remember one witty pakcik who commented on other drivers driving. 

We were chatting on something and despite making jokes about other drivers, one driver caught his attention. It was a car swerving into his lane in the last minute but without a signal.

"Ya Allah... mesti perempuan ni." said the driver. Truthfully enough it was a women (though I'm not saying anything of this matter, I reserve my opinion to female drivers as my own. If you wanna hear it you gotta ride with me) So she got in front of him and we stopped at a traffic light crossroads. It was obvious we were taking a right but at that particular time she gave her signal.

"Apa la ko ni, memang la nak pusing kanan, tak perlu la signal. Haiihh (the woman took a slow slow turn) aku langgar bontot kau baru tau!" 

What really prompted me to write this is one particularly strange driver. I was at the Batu tiga station, found myself a driver and hopped in. He was of mid 30s and seemed like the typical racer. Sure enough inside were modded to his likings. I'm not sure if it's legal for you to mod your taxi company's car but he changed the steering, pedals, gear and even handbrake to racing types. 

So how did he drive? Like a twat of course. He sped off (yours truly clawed to the seats despite a seatbelt in place), swerved in and out without signals, took last minute brakes, jumped the red light, cut the line at the traffic light when there's only 2 and he made the 3rd one, sent me straight to my office in mere seconds and then when i pointed out to the road leading to my office he screeched to a halt. What the hell I thought. What possible anarchistic maneuver is he pulling? It was a sunday, no cars at this small road. The area was quiet as a closed library.  "Eh depan ni Cik" said I. He replied "Tak boleh, kena berhenti kat sini". "Kenapa?" I asked and he pointed to the no entry sign "No entry ni dik". 

Bemused, I paid the dood and walked off. He took a U-Turn and sped off with devilish speed.
