Yeah 9 lives gonna wrap tonight, gonna share with u guys my whole experience in my first real drama production...

At the start it has realli been tough, cause everybody work realli fast and there is no time to delay, you jus cant walk to the toilet u must rush, u cant climb the stairs, u must cheong the stairs, you must realli c how they set up a track, a light in seconds of time. But after goin through so much, i have gain alot from the guys the crew, gonna miss you all ppl, shinyin the ad, hazel the pm, ah ming the gaffer, brandon jeff ah j the grips, sound nelson n jevin and so on and so on....

Actors
I gonna told you guys about the actors, they are realli the best and friendliest ppl on earth, i guess most ppl impressions are they are realli stud ups and dun giv a damn abt others but u r wrong. Like my fav actress there Serene who act as the toilet cleaner, she is so so so so so nice... She bought food for the vrew whenever she come to set, roti boys, doughnuts, and on her last 3 day of shoot she still buy us cakes and wrote in the box, thanks so much for the crew, you realli make filming a happy and memorable experience. On her last day of set she still give me a hug b4 she go, she is just the friendliest actress i tink in the world, for now.

Adrian Pang is also realli nice, like sometimes when i have to set up the set as i am in the art department, i got to clear his stuff, he will give me a pat on the shoulder and say no worries go ahead and do it. On his last day i am the first person he came up to give a handshake, he is a realli funny guy but more quiter on real life.

Lim Yu Beng, also my acting teacher last time, think tts y i talk to him more on set, den he say how the juniors in my sch he is teaching now is driving him nuts hahaha i guess we too last time. But we say he had speak good things abt me to my lecturers wow hope that will improve my iap grades, He also gave every crew a small gift b4 he leave, and he say to me thanks for al the help given, its nt expensive stuff, but it this small things that make the thoughts count, he is a realli sincere and nice person.

Azri, my bro, hoho he is a damn good singer with a realli good band, you all gonna hear the sound tracks of 9 lives, it is all sang by him, i think he is better then Taufik Batisah la, he told me he dunno sing at where Tanjong Pagar dunno wad bar, shit nvm, dun tink i will go anyway. Veri veri veri veri nice person too, and i feel he is the most handsome of the lots, girls watch ou for this new star.

Pamela Oei, at first i thod she is a bit arrogant cause she got veri angry 1 time when the cast coordinator tell her to come too early on set, but slowly den i found out her average sleep is 2 -4 hrs a day cause she had to rehearse for the musical oi my sleeping beauty and another drama, and she is always smiling at the crew on her last day she also came forward and give a handshake to me. yipee got to touch so many hands.

Beatrice chia i ink her name is spelt like tt, whoa i nv mingl wit her la but the first time i saw her she look damn glam and seems to stand out from all the girls maybe because of her ht too, i use to dun tink she look pretty but nt now.

Sani, Crisbian, Damian, Jason, Natasha all the other main cast, too tired to say all, bt they are being great too always joking around.

Art Department
On the art department, they are always the first and leave to be on the set, cause u got to set up the set and clear it after tt. So i will always be moving things ehre and there cleaning things up. Sounds like a cleaner job la. But as i am the camera onset guy, i got to learn c the monitor all the guy and c how the director frame his shots, i must also try to add more foreground and bg to add depth to the shots, and create the vision tt the director 1, tts the art department job. ALso we have to get props, prepare props, make props. But i swear not to work in art department ever again, its just so tiring moving things.

Crew
I admit i am realli inexperienced la, also make some big mistakes liek forget to bring the camera pouch, thus the pm and director will like being harsh to us and keep reminding n reminding us, but through tt i learn to be more cautious and make sure it is done in the right way. The crew has being fun. Like Brandon, until now i have no idea y he can keep calling my name just to hear me say yes. And poor shinyin, from a veri silent girl being force to be strict with the extras under the hot pushing be the director n crew haha. Romesh being bullied or bullying all the extras, Jevin me and ming with the sian ar diao ar bullshit. Nelson is always a nice person to tok to and haizel although strict wit us at first slowly also i tink trust we can do our own job without ppl being pushing.

What i Learn
The first half of the shoots has been tough for me cause like wadever i do dun seems to be rite, due to my lack of experience, days pass realli slow, but towards the last few days, the shoot has been realli fun although we had no breaks for 1 week of marathon nights shoots each lasting more then 10 hours.

Actualli you dun have to be in the job to do learn tt task, normally i just observe how ppl do things and you can learn alot through tt, like how the director communicate with the cameraman and talent to get what he wants. How to came up to soulutions when face wit last min probs on the shoot which always happens. And the gaffer and grips teach me alot of their lightings, although i still dun too understand it haha. And seeing them use all the equiptment and stuff tt i nv learned in school at all.

The best thing is i can at least tell ppl i work in a whole drama production b4, which is more related to wad my sch is teaching, drama stuff, and its great working with such a great crew.

Ok too tired to continue next time den. to be continued....
