i just got back from Brunei and saw Bjarne Wong's invitation to all sarawakian to come for the casting for Ms. World Malaysia, Soo Wincci's upcoming MV titled Seen ( 看見 kan jian ) on Facebook. So I send the director an email to which he replies I can come over to give it a shot and so I did.
I went online to book for a flight but there was no flight as i only got the news a day before the audition. I was asking a good friend and he told me that he has a friend working at the bus station. Edi called and helped me book the ticket and so, i rushed home to pack and dash off to the bus station. I took the 2pm bus... after 14 hrs journey, i finally reached Kuching @ 5:30am..
meeting both eldest sister and her son and 2nd sister and her family was refreshing.. i miss them so so much... :) they dropped me off at the Level Up fitness to which the audition is going to take place early... I always love to be early so I was very early.. lol... anyways, i made some inquiries regarding the gym and to my luck, its their open day.. but to my dismay, i didn't bring any proper attire for workout... but guy, no worries, they rent out clothings at RM10 to which u have to return ya.... hahaha... anyways, i did some workout and met Kiu, a local bodybuilder who had just competed for Mr. Sarawak.. he's a lecturer at Limkokwing sarawak campus :P anyways, the gym is pretty complete cept for the smith machine which i found out later the reason for its disfunctional reasons.. is one of the member dropped it too hard that the bars bent... lol
anyways, the audition starts.. there were quite a number of participant which turns up... some are really hilarious during the tryouts to which i find really entertaining :) they are all good.. hahaha... one came just to have Soo's signature.. he came in with a pirate eye patch.. and he even announce his motive... :P I got the place eventually and not only that, i won many friendships too... great winning....
the wardrobe fitting came the next day after the press conference... i had a day shoot with them around kuching.. 1st stop was Bau, somewhere near wind cave.. and they we moved on to Bjarne's family resort which has great scenery... and we made our way back to town where we shot at the old court and Hilton itself... we did some shoots at the hotel on the 2nd day... well, watch the MV to find out more on the details ..... :P don't wanna reveal much here eh :P
anyways... every1's curious on what my diet is like during the shoot.. well, i didn't have much of a choice so i only took steamed chicken breast rice.. of course, less or no rice :P all the way.. hahaha..... and i even had the opportunity to test the Hilton gym... "IT SUCKS" lol... the service as well as the service attendant weren't at all friendly to house guest....
I learnt a lot from the whole production.. especially from Alwyn of the Panasonic G-team... the whole shoot was fun.. anyways, last but not least...
Many thanks to .....
