I finally managed to get my hands on the pics last night., thanks to our official photographer Manchong. *smile* Thrills and spills from the action sequence day at the lighthouse, for your eyes only. *wink* (All pictures courtesy of My Spy)

  extras at work

This one in particular ran until 7.30am the next morning, so we were all zombies. Literally. Two hours later I was to take the next flight out back to KL for the ‘H’ Factor workshop in KL so you go figure… *laugh* 

  Anyway, these are the miracle makers from Thailand. 

  stunt team rehearsing

Unfortunately I didn’t have a stunt double like Carmen and Daphne so don’t expect too many fancy moves from yours truly ya. *laugh* The other two hotties will on the other hand will be reflecting the Malaysian versions of Angelina Jolie and Denise Richards. *smile* At least now you have a reason to watch the movie more than 3 times ya…! *laugh*  

The shoot at this particular location was in many ways rather intense for all of us. Besides the action sequences, the weather was quite extreme with heavy rain and wind strong enough to break the windows in the lighthouse that we were in. During that commotion, a few of the stunt men were hurt by the broken glasses. Regardless, the shoot had to go on.  

This week, we’re shooting at Tun Mahathir’s Gallery Perdana, thankfully in the comfort of being indoors with air-conditioning and proper toilets. *laugh* More pics for you soon and yes, I haven’t forgotten about the ones from last weekend’s chapter of ‘H’ Factor. *smile* Stay tuned!

As we concluded the last leg or the ‘H’ Factor Nationwide Creative Youth Workshop on Sunday at Seri Pacific Hotel KL, I headed straight back to Langkawi to resume work on the film first thing on Monday morning together with Carmen Soo, Daphne Iking and the rest. Another chapter at Nadia’s Inn (for those who missed out on the first series of pictures of Nadia's Inn, check out the previous blog post, "Film Shoot in Langkawi ") to look forward too… *laugh*

Daphne, Carmen and myself

Thankfully, the condition of my skin had improved throughout the week and I was ready to roll without being drugged out with the drowsy meds this time. *laugh* I want to share with you my experience with the stunt team from Thailand but that will have to wait until I get my hands on the official production pics, so hang in there ya…

In the meantime, this is where all the fight scenes took place. Lighthouse at Telaga Harbour…

I have only two words to summarize our weekend with the Sabahans during the ‘H’ Factor Nationwide Creative Youth Workshop in Sutera Harbour – KK Rocks! *wink*

  waiting for the workshop to begin

The energy, enthusiasm and receptiveness of the east Malaysians is simply overwhelming. The team, speakers and I loved and enjoyed every moment of it. Despite the fact that Sutera Harbour could only cater for a capacity of 180 pax max, we had a turnout of 300 people. So packed that we had to put two people to a seat in some of the rows. 

Also, talent is what the Sabahans definitely have. Without a doubt. *smile* During my TV hosting segment alone, I had already discovered 2 potential hosts – Raoul and Jasmine – who not only had the spunk but the guts and wit to stand out among the rest. Spontaneity and versatility put to the test – and passed with flying colours! *wink* 

  song request

I believe that after the recent weekend in Sabah, my question about whether we should bring ‘H’ Factor back to KK next year was answered with full conviction. A definite yes! *smile* 

TV hosting showdown

Besides the workshop and its outstanding participants, the team and I also had the opportunity to savour some of the best edibles the town could offer – seafood – all thanks to Fellest’s parents (Mr. & Mrs. Yan) who had graciously arranged to host an after-workshop-dinner for the crew and speakers. *smile*

Being our lucky day, we also managed to catch a lobster changing its skin – LIVE! So strange yet intriguing. Have you seen that happen before? The entire process right in front of your eyes? Amazing… 

The ‘H’ Factor Nationwide Creative Youth Workshop finale will take place this Sunday as we end the last leg of the campaign at KL’s Best Western Premier Seri Pacific Hotel (beside PWTC). We don’t have many spots left so if you haven’t booked yours yet, you had better do so quick. Call Leonard Chua (013 – 356 1111) or Leonard Khoo (013 – 209 1111) if you‘d like us to make arrangements for group blockings. Alternatively, individual registrations for guaranteed spots can be done online at www.h-factor.info.

See you guys this Sunday ya!

Following the first shoot week in Langkawi for My Spy, I headed to KK for the third leg of the ‘H’ Factor Nationwide Creative Youth Workshop on Saturday morning (25^th). My connecting flight to KK via KL was scheduled to be at 12.50pm so I managed to catch up with the rest of the guys at LCCT before we headed to KK on the same flight together. At least I didn’t have to take the next flight alone. *grin* 

  Gareth, Joey, Reymee, Mike at LCCT waiting for Fellest & gang

At the airport, Joey first surprised me with a parcel (a huge one). I opened it and THIS is what I found – my logo in pillow form! *grin* Hehe…cool bananas! And believe it or not it was hand tailored by Micky Tan (thank you Micky! *smile*), a very talented local Malaysian designer, according to the exact proportions of my bling. Amazing! What a way to start the day on your birthday ya… *grin*

  'H' pillow!

The flight to KK was great, with Joey and Reymee keeping me company throughout. We were literally pigging out the entire 2.5 hours as I shared my Langkawi weekend with them. At the back of my mind, I was prepared for another long hectic weekend with the workshop in KK. Nevertheless, it was such a relief to be able to spend the next 2 nights in a proper hotel, *laugh* something I was actually looking forward to after my bed bug experience. *laugh* At the same time, I had already started missing the rest of the crew that were still in Langkawi, and hoping that the weather would be gracious to them throughout the weekend. 

  Mike - spotted.

Our arrival at the KK airport was greeted by our friendly transport coordinator, Mike, who took the load of us to Sutera Harbour via one van and a car. The first half of the team had already arrived in KK earlier that morning while Jess, Leonard Khoo, Serena C and Pietro went head a day earlier. I was tired, but happy to meet the entire team again for yet another exciting weekend with the workshop. *smile*

After checking in, I received a call from Leonard Chua to open my room door and to my surprise, just as I did that, the team were out there holding a slice of chocolate cake with a candle singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So sweet… *smile* Such a pleasant surprise… *smile* Right after that, Leonard Chua and I headed down to the Function Room to check out the workshop venue, following which, Reymee actually blind-folded and led me out on the shuttle bus with Akil guiding me on my left. Another surprise, just when I thought I had HAD the best day of my life. *laugh*

After a good 10 minutes of anticipation and walking blind-folded, I arrived in front of this! *grin*

A boat! Hehe! *grin* With the entire team! I couldn’t believe my eyes and naturally, I was shocked! Oh and excited at the same time. I was actually on a boat! On my birthday! With all the people I love! I couldn’t have asked for more. I was touched. So touched. And I had never felt so loved. All the trouble Leonard, Reymee and the team went through to get this done for me – worth every single bit of it, because I was definitely surprised, touched, happy, amazed and dumb-founded! 

Reymee, Ganesh, Leonard, Jessica and the team, thank you so very very much for making my birthday this year the best one ever! Just when I thought I’d be happy to celebrate it at work with the ‘H’ Factor Support Team, I ended up getting so much more in that joy-bundled day. *smile* 

  Leonard Chua and Adeline

Thank you also to YOU who sms-ed Jessica and Leonard Chua, and posted your kind wishes here on the blog. I got em’ all, and I’m touched that you care and love me as much as you do. I couldn’t have asked God for a better birthday this year. *smile*
