Frightening stats!

I was at the PT Foundation yesterday because I'm gathering research for a story I'm working on at the moment.

I will definitely share the full version of this story with you once I've completed it but I wanted to at least mention this.

Yesterday, I interviewed someone who was living with HIV. He looked perfectly normal by the way, which goes to show you can't assume you're alright just because you look it.

It was an eye opener how he valued life so much more now than before he found out he was HIV positive. He didn't take life for granted. Every day was precious because it meant he was alive. It reminded me of the saying "live every day like it's your last" but how many of us are doing it?

We get so caught up with minor matters when in the big picture, we ought to be grateful we're alive and well!

Launching Project Alpha Season 2

When I watched the Project Alpha Season 2 trailer on the big screen at Curve Cineplex, I was on the edge of my seat. It's not because I couldn't wait to see it. I've seen it a million times in the edit suite combing over fine details with the director down to font size, audio levels, logos timed to sound effects (then choosing which ones went best with the words). You get the gist. It's amazing how long it took to just put these few minutes together! 

So needless to say I was on the edge of my seat because I was hoping it would go smoothly. All those endless hours and hours including graveyard shifts with our editors at kyanite.tv has finally gone public. Yikes!!! I'm used to sitting with 2 or 3 other people watching the trailer, not an entire cinema hall viewing it on the big screen. Wow! I know Shaolintiger thought it was kinda bizarre watching himself on the silver screen. Everyone's face was larger than life! KY was asking me before the trailer whether the HD cameras picked up on his zits haha. I don't know what part of the trailer you'll like the most. Some like the football section, some like the travel aspect, some like Cheesie screaming her head off ;) 

At the bloggers launch at night, Ninie was practically standing on her head again. I wonder if she does yoga in her sleep! I honestly wouldn't be surprised ;) Klubbkidd showed up with his new purple hair do but in the trailer it's shocking red. Dude, how often do you dye your hair! 

I have to say that a lot of people in the audience burst out laughing when Azwan Ali exploded on to the screen! He totally cracks me up. Amazing camera presence. Niki Cheong told me via twitter to "make sure he looks good" which wasn't hard :) You'll have to wait and see for yourself Niki. The London eps look awesome! 

We have SO much more to go but this sneak preview is the very first official trailer of Season 2. We wanted you guys to have a taste of what Project Alpha Season 2 was all about but we didn't wanna give too much away. If there was a mantra we tried to stick to, it would be "Less is more" so if you have a few mins to spare, pretty please check the trailer out and tell me what you think. I would really appreciate it! It took so much work to get to this point and we are still flat out in editing the rest of the eps. It's 430am right now and you guessed it! I'm editing right now! :)

Project Alpha airs 19th April and is brought to you by Adidas Action 3. Our official broadband provider is P1 Wimax and the official Airline is MAS. For more info on the show, you could hop on to www.projectalpha.com.my :)
