the day malaysia should be proud of saladin

sorry can't help myself ― this news is just too mind-blowing!

i was browsing online, and once in a while of course checked my fb. when suddenly stunned and still feel very happy and proud to find out that the "saladin" animated tv series have just been nominated for the international emmy awards!

my lil' bro was one of the crew handled the voice casting and direction, music scoring, sound design and mixing.

this is the freaking emmys people! tv's highest honour. just to be nominated out of thousands of children's programmes... malaysia should be proud of it.

well done team imaginex ― "saladin" sounds great! read more here and here.

telekom' hari raya tv ads 2008

i suggest, you grab a tissue first before you start watching it...

well at first i don't even thought of placing the above video here in my blog. but when my lil' bro asked me this afternoon, "chor, miké ada tengok iklan raya telekom (translation: chor (big sis), did you watch telekom' raya ads)?"; then i was like— this must be because he was the sound man, if not for sure he won't ask. he had just arrived alone this afternoon. since his wife has just started work with a new company, so she has to work today. sheryl dear, fyi shafinaz is with the same company with you now, but she's based in hq :)

so i asked lil' bro, "kenapa... miké buat ke (why... did you do it)?".

"ha ah...", he replied. i knew it! see... its always like that where we only know about his work after its completed hehe...

so basically i placed this ad here for me to remember that its part of my lil' bro's work. good job bro!... you really make us proud :)

miké is you in perak slang ;)

birthday shout-out to my lil' bro...

"strong, silent & 100% dependable, boon's one of our most experienced audio engineers, with 10 years and over a thousand tv, radio & cinema ads to his credit.

boon handled location sound for oscar-winning director oliver stone's motorola "wireless" tv commercial, and was music engineer for award-winning malaysian feature film "puteri gunung ledang". more recently, he sound-designed a 12th century naval battle for the trailer "saladin" (go here for the official website), a 3d animation tv showcase project by the malaysian government. boon is already cracking his knuckles in preparation working on the upcoming tv series.

he's a sound guy, in every sense of the word. from the futsal cage to the mixing table, boon's the man we want on our side!"

both the pic and statement about him above have been extracted from the company's website. you really make us proud bro. and now that you are 32--

my brother and me...
doing our own thing, but respecting each other all the way...
giving each other space, but being there when it counts...
not always together, but always connected...

that's us.
thinking of you on your birthday
