Some wonder how much work I have. Here's a glimpse...
Tuesday: Couldn't sleep the night before. Managed to get an hours sleep in the hotel room in Thailand, wake up at 6:30am, rush out, eat a breakfast of two fried eggs and french toast with two croissants and two cups of coffee and two cups of juice. Got on the plane and fell asleep for another hour, arrived in KL at around noon, got in a cab to my house, showered, changed clothes and made my way to Hoxes to check on the many e-mails, get work done and design the e-invites for the Ciplak launch party. Adjust media invite list, spend a few hours with Diana watching Crimson Tide and relaxing, went to the studio, remixed Triple 6 Poser's Another Lie' for the original motion picture soundtrack of Ciplak, pumped up the levels of the other tracks, burnt myself a copy to listen to and went to bed at 5:30am.
Wednesday: Got up at around 9.30am to sort out the locations of the plug sockets for the new renovations of the house, checked e-mails, listened to the Triple 6 Poser mix and noticed more flaws, realize the printers won't have enough time to get the sountrack CD printed by the launch, decide to use CD-R's for the press kits and send the soundtrack later, went to 8TV for an interview about the movie, mingled with the head honchos, checked e-mail again to discover a number of problems with the press invites for the press screening, try to sort it out to not much avail which leaves me fuming, meet up with Diana, go to the Taman Tun house, check out the printed marketing materials, slightly letdown by the quality: pixelated. Sort out the free t-shirts for cast and crew, quick meeting with Dicky and Zeeka, rush off to rehearsals with Triple 6 Poser, go to the studio, transfer pictures of the Fat Festival to my computer from my cam and Saiful's, meet up with Tony, go to McDonalds and discuss the legalities of the upcoming short films and Ciplak screening at the Singapore gig.
Thursday: Woke up at 11am. Only slept two or three hours tops. Downed a glass of coffee and went straight to the studio. Started rendering and burning process for the short films DVD I'm bringing to Singapore. Whilst that rendered, designed the poster for the Ciplak launch party in A3 and black and white A5 format. Then wrote an article for Junk magazine about the Fat Festival. Then burnt Fat Festival pictures together with Y2k press kit and prepared a copy of the album for Junk. Left the studio, went to the printers, dropped off the flyer and poster designs, went to the Junk office, dropped off the articles, decided to go to Jalan Pasar to grab an AC adapter for my H&K Tubeman, got lost and almost ended up in Kajang. Decide to forgo the adapter, picked up the posters and flyers and arrived at the studio at 4:30pm. Prepared data CD's for 8TV of snippets of Ciplak as well as the press kit and trailer in full AVI format, burnt them to CD-R, prepared Ciplak for DVD burning and suddenly realized I forgot to drop off the DV tapes of Ciplak at GSC for them to screen in the cinemas. Leave the office at 5:25pm, get stuck in a jam on the Penchala link because of a car crash, pick up the DV tapes from Taman Tun, drop them off at GSC office by 6:10pm, go to Laundry at the Curve to drop off flyers and posters, buy some Singapore currency and have my only meal so far for the day: a sausage roll. Make my way to 8TV, get there and discover that the people I'm supposed to send it to are at a mamak stall, go to the mamak stall, begins to rain, drop off the CD, rush to Mont Kiara and lie down on Diana's couch for an hour. Go back home, pack, Diana drives me to the studio to pick up the DVDs and Tony from his house, arrive at Pudu station at 11:30pm and make my way to Singapore at a minute to midnight.
Fun, huh?
