Select Datepaid work
gotta make SOME money at least....
i got a job shooting for Fitness First the other day.
got it on the strength of my recent folio work making the Aikido manual.
So, two 13 hour shoots taking pix of ridiculously good looking kids lifting weights and running on treadmills and stuff.
was fun - and soon my pix will be gracing the Malaysian FF website and brochures...
nice...
gyms are ugly, luckily the people aren't...
More charity work in the name of christmas
this time with malaysia's last, latest and next top model
so as part of the 'Merry Love A Child Xmas' plan in conjunction with Alicia's butik, we had our second visit to a local orphanage yesterday.
This time it was a huge event with prezzies galore and lots of activities.
using recycled shoeboxes, we got the kids to all make their own photoframes and decorate them with bits n' bobs we had lying around.
then i toko all of their photos with Malaysian Supermodel Amber Chia.
[she happens to be a friend of Alicia and up for doing some good deeds].
So, 60 kids - take their fotos with amber and print them out on the spot so they can put into their new frames.
once their frames were completed, we gave out presents that had been sponsored by Alicia's customers - and of course the kids loved it.
I loved it, Alicia loved it, Amber loved and all our volunteer helpers loved it too.
It really is such a rewarding experience to hold events like this - no corporate sponsors and no stingey malaysian attitudes - just good natured people wanting to do something worthwhile for underprivileged kids - for the SAKE of it.
so i polished my halo and have been wearing it ever since, feeling happy, proud and ready to punch anyone who dares to scoff at it.
the next event is on 28th Dec with a similar concept, only at a different orphanage.
spread the love yo, for fun and for free.
...
A million thanks to everyone who helped to make the day a true success...see you again next week!
Amber Chia...taking time out to do the right thing.
find me a job by friday
sunshine posse, yo
For the last few months i've been writing a lot of nonsense on a facebook group. just random blogs about random things.
luckily, some of the other people in the group own an advertising agency and are looking for whacky humour for a comic strip ad platform.
so they asked me to write some stupid scripts for them - as daft as i could think of.
easy!
so after about a week i'd written 15 already and now they're being shot and laid out to pitch to the clients.
the perfect job?
hope so...
Sunshine Posse comic strips
we'll find the client - you fill in the blanks, ok? Deal.
'You had me at Ikkajo'
i'm a sucker for wristlocks
who could have thought that immobilisation techniques and crunching bones could be so romantic?
i know i could...
looks can be deceiving...huey tsair sensei makes it known.
kinda like yoda but loads cuter - and not green.
judge me by my size do you? And so you should not...luminous beings are we, not this crude matter...
Aikido Training Manual
i do for fun lor
I've been trianing Aikido now for a few weeks and i'm completely addicted already.
and it's tough!
it's really tough!
but not in a gruelling physical way, but in an inch perfect technique kinda way.
Everything i've ever learned in terms of martial arts and body movement, i'm having to unlearn and start afresh for the sake of this beautiful art.
for one, the whole weight distribution is mostly on the front foot with the knee overextended to the toes.
weird.
so all the movement seems quite unnatural at the moment but i'm adamant i'm gonna get it.
i can see that when the technique is done properly, aikido works effortlessly, harmonising with the attacker's force and using their own momentum against them.
Anyhoos, since i don't really have any paid projects on the go, i offered to make the training manual for the dojo - for fun.
it's great, i get to shoot all the techniques then layout the pages in a swanky jayemmcee.com fashion.
just my cup o' tea.
so that's what i'm doing for the time being, maybe sensei will gimme another free t-shirt when i'm done, maybe not.
either way, i'm making a dam nice looking aikido training manual.
for fun
OSU!
my idea of what a japanese martial arts training manual should look like
sensei threw his daughter about 20 times for this shot.

luckily, Alicia is an expert and doesn't mind posing.
Hai!

ok, now do it again....and again...and again...
worthwhile stuff
doin' it for the kidz
So it's December again already.
i'm not one to make noise about christmas but recently i had the opportuntiy to do something worthwhile with christmas in mind.
Me and Alicia recently went to a local orphanage to organise a 'Merry Love A Child Christmas' event in conjunction with her butik.
come xmas there will be giveaways and incentives to be part of a charitable enterprise to give a helping hand to a bunch unfortunate kidz.
and of course when we went to check out the orphanage, the kids loved it and we had a great time knowing that we're doing something that karma must sit up and take note of.

happy days all round, for the greater good...
