The last leg of the campaign ended with a blast last Sunday at the Best Western Premier Seri Pacific Hotel KL with a turnout of more than 500 participants from all over Malaysia, including some from Penang, Perak, Kedah, Johor and even East Malaysia! *smile* 

Participants for this last workshop were treated to additional performances by beatboxer Shawn Lee and dancers from Wild Stream Productions. To top it up, the TV stations and members of the media were also there to keep us company and join in the fun. 

It was a finale to be remembered and a campaign to be continued on with. Hopefully with the support of the ministries and more corporate sponsors next year, ‘H’ Factor will be able to reach out to more talented youth across the country as we strive to put Malaysia on the map as an Asian hub for creative content and entertainment. Thank you for sharing the vision and going on this journey with us. *smile* 

Stay tuned for more on ‘H’ Factor and keep your ideas coming in to help us improve ya.. *smile* God Bless!

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.
