  1. many people don’t know that i like to draw!!!i sketch all the time and i’ve even ‘attempted to draw on my wall’…yes,a mural!!!but i haven’t gotten round to it yet :) that will still happen…

    anyway,my mum came back yesterday from my sister’s…she brought me a letter…a letter? i asked what it was and she told me that,my nephews had a presentation at school…the title was,who inspired me…so i read the letter and it was the sweetest thing i have ever read in my life…it was omar’s speech…they wrote about me…my unkle qushairi…

    i felt something like never before…a sense of happiness and satisfaction and emotional…all at once…since i was young,i always had an icon…always looked up to someone as my hero…and i often wondered what it would be like to have someone look at us the way i looked at them…:) and even if the world does not look up to me…it’s okay…cause im the hero to my nephews and nieces :) a big achievement for ‘Unkle Qi’ …

    and thinking back,i realised i have always looked up to my father…he is the brain i inherit slightly…he is the music that is my interest…i love you Pa :)

     
     
  2. memories can be funny sometimes…what we remember and what actually happened may be two different things…we choose to believe what makes us feel good about ourselves…but not realizing,that in all honesty,we know who we are… so just remember to be you…with good intentions,the actions will show :)  and oh,this is a sharpener robot walking on Kurt ! :)

  4. who would’ve thought! but here i am!!! i am lucky to be doing the things in what i call my career…i am grateful and feel truly blessed…but i must say it didn’t come easy either…i had to work my way here…but with my crazy history and wild past, i have found my footing in life… now i know, if you want something bad enough and paired with heaps of effort, you will get one step closer to your dreams…just like this tree…now it may be leafless and baron…but nonetheless it is still beautiful…just like each and everyone of us…never think we are lesser than what we can achieve cause that is the beginning of our own downfall…i’ve learnt to smile in the worst of situations and found tears in happiest of moments!!! it’s true you know, when they say, you are what you dream…but it’s like i’ve stressed a million times before, a dream without effort is only a fantasy…so go out there and go for your dreams…at least that what i say to myself every morning when i wake… and drink lotsa water…:)

  5. Ramblings & Revelations #3

    Mistakes & Great Takes

    it took me 1 month and 6 days to get here:) and finally i can say,i have learnt a lot here…here is my story :-

    it all started during my first visit to the studios(soon to be my set)…it was rehearsals and to try out the wardrobe and test the make up(yes,i’m used to saying i wear make up now:) that day was the hardest for me…met the director and he told me what was expected of me…and my challenge began…we tried an episode and boy did i suck! i did really bad during rehearsals cause there’s so much to think of…the way i stand,the way i smiled, how i pronounced things, the way i held the props, not to cringe my shirt,everything was under scrutiny…at that point i got really afraid because i wasn’t sure i could pull it off…Attack of the Demons!!!

    so i had to find ways to fit in or even better excel here…first, was to kill off the demons that was consuming me from inside…insecurities, afraid and over analytical…i had to tackle these issues within me to overcome all the obstacles and challenges here…when i am not sure how i do,i know my stuff first…so i read the scripts more than usual…cause if you want to know, study ! then i needed to feel confident with the surroundings, the atmosphere, the people and most importantly myself…i needed to believe in me! simple as that…give credit to yourself for the things you know you deserve…cause it’s easy to convince others…but it’s so much harder to convince ourselves…so start by believing in yourself(like i have learnt to:) another thing with me is, i like to analyse things…sometimes it gets out of hand that making a mistake is so so wrong…ok, the most number of takes i had here was 25….yes,25 freakin takes…never in my life i had to do that many takes…it was the level of professionalism they demand…which is a good thing for me to improve myself…and never again i needed that many takes(most is 7 or 8 and that’s is normal :) the secret is just to dare to make mistakes…take that risk…cause ultimately, they will become your greatest teachers… so there i was, getting more comfortable and getting the hang of things…it ended 2 days back and i am proud to say, “I DID ITTTT!!!!!!:))))))))

    it’s a wrap for Qi Razali in Buenos Aires…the wrap party was awesome…for the first time, i hung out with real friends in Argentina…a lot happened during work…i thought some guys were just mean and snobish but it turns out i was wrong about all of them…they were all behind me,all the way…especially Gus…from day 1 he was there…my friend in Buenos Aires:) 

    and the director came up to me…said to me your started poorly,but your graph was always ascending (with arms gesture of a plane taking off:) and i never knew how much those words meant to me,till i got home and played it again and again in  my head…it felt really good when all your hard work and efforts pays off(well,we have to see it on tv first i guess:) but the point is, i struggled here…alone! it was my battle from start to finish and i came out standing:) and i learnt 3 important things in my life…

    know your stuff

    take those risks

    believe in yourself

    cause i am only as much as the effort i put in chasing my dreams…

  8. Ramblings & Revelations #3 deceitful first impressions… today i made a huge discovery! i always thought that the first time we meet someone, we would know how they are…truth is,first impressions are wrong cause you will never know without learning…this is my story… today at work i realised, all my speculations about the people i worked with were wrong…completely!!!the person i thought was nice turned out so not cool…the person i thought was mean, turned to be the bestest huy there… when it was my first day of work,everyone was nice, especially this one dude, who was my ‘ears’ on set…he was smiling and friendly…but as the days went by,i started to feel differently…i know for a fact that he says mean things about me…and the person i thought i could do without, turned out the person who actually cares and helped me through my tough working days…he’s name is Javier!!!the coolest dude on set…he even sings Morrisey!!!(and i continued singing the lines where he stopped)…:)  on my first few days, i was getting used to my surroundings and Javier was kinda distant and i thought he was ‘kerek’ (snobbish/stuck up) cause he had an attitude, which i didn’t understand…and i felt uncomfortable…i understand now,it’s because he was being REAL! unlike the ‘ear’ guy, he was nice since day one…which was all FAKE!!!  but at least now i know…we cannot know a person by judging them…we need to know them and understand who they are… so my revelation came at a most distressing time for me…we were going on to our 10th take(by far not my usual standards,but then again this is international tv)…Javier came up to me when i almost broke down…i requested for a minute break and he actually went to the director and said some things and then he came up to me, brought ‘cindor’(my favourite chocolate milk here) and sat next to me…i was surprised he knew my favourite drink…shows a lot about him,that he actually noticed what i do and don’t like!!! and he managed to turn things around…of course i would be okay even if he didin’t do that, but it’s good to know you have kind hearted people around you, when everyone else seemed like vultures, requesting the best of you without compromise… i knew then and there, i have a friend on set…JAVIER!!!  so yes,first impressions count,but it doesn’t work if you are looking for a friend…just like a stall selling junk(or is it)? cause if you knew the stories behind each junk, you will understand their value… so don’t judge people…get to know them!!!

    Ramblings & Revelations #3

    deceitful first impressions…

    today i made a huge discovery! i always thought that the first time we meet someone, we would know how they are…truth is,first impressions are wrong cause you will never know without learning…this is my story…

    today at work i realised, all my speculations about the people i worked with were wrong…completely!!!the person i thought was nice turned out so not cool…the person i thought was mean, turned to be the bestest huy there… when it was my first day of work,everyone was nice, especially this one dude, who was my ‘ears’ on set…he was smiling and friendly…but as the days went by,i started to feel differently…i know for a fact that he says mean things about me…and the person i thought i could do without, turned out the person who actually cares and helped me through my tough working days…he’s name is Javier!!!the coolest dude on set…he even sings Morrisey!!!(and i continued singing the lines where he stopped)…:) 

    on my first few days, i was getting used to my surroundings and Javier was kinda distant and i thought he was ‘kerek’ (snobbish/stuck up) cause he had an attitude, which i didn’t understand…and i felt uncomfortable…i understand now,it’s because he was being REAL! unlike the ‘ear’ guy, he was nice since day one…which was all FAKE!!! 

    but at least now i know…we cannot know a person by judging them…we need to know them and understand who they are…

    so my revelation came at a most distressing time for me…we were going on to our 10th take(by far not my usual standards,but then again this is international tv)…Javier came up to me when i almost broke down…i requested for a minute break and he actually went to the director and said some things and then he came up to me, brought ‘cindor’(my favourite chocolate milk here) and sat next to me…i was surprised he knew my favourite drink…shows a lot about him,that he actually noticed what i do and don’t like!!! and he managed to turn things around…of course i would be okay even if he didin’t do that, but it’s good to know you have kind hearted people around you, when everyone else seemed like vultures, requesting the best of you without compromise… i knew then and there, i have a friend on set…JAVIER!!! 

    so yes,first impressions count,but it doesn’t work if you are looking for a friend…just like a stall selling junk(or is it)? cause if you knew the stories behind each junk, you will understand their value…

    so don’t judge people…get to know them!!!

  9. Finally i can say…it feels like home! :) work is getting better cause now i’m comfortable with the set and people…i know everyone by name(though i can’t speak to them yet), i take the bus to places that i use to walk to and my time is filled with fun stuff :) i realise my experience here has taught me lots of things… BELIEVE in myself!!! that’s the key word when you are alone and in a foreign land…cause no one will make you feel better but yourself…and if you are like me in any way, you will understand that life has its purpose…for everyone!!!If you have found yours, stick to it and never let go…if you haven’t,look to your passion…the answer lies there!!!
