lights , camera and so the action

my boss comes to me and says that TV3 intends to do a shooting in our school and we have to not only do a gazillion things , we also have to choose our students who we think will make the cut .... and there i was just living livid and so feeling like J Lo , we got down to business ..... after choosing our so called superstars , we also had to make sure everything was in tip top condition ...



then the TV3 guy met up with us and told us not to worry , 'my prop guys will do everything , you ladies just sit back and stand by .. when we need you , i will have my people call you to get ready '.. fine three bags full ....


on the actual day .. with all the semangat in me , .. i went went early to work today to make sure that everything and everyone including all the little crickets which were burrowing in each and every hole , were OK...


waited ,
waited , waited,
waited ,
waited ,


i think i waited for about 20 waiteds ( this is a new word ) , finally the kids arrived , my teachers and then ,the mother of 20 crew members!!!! they need 20 crew members for just a simple shot ? we had the data guys , we had the directors , we had the prop men .. we had the oranges ladies who kept on munching on the oranges , you name it ...



everything looked so busy even the tables and chairs in my class looked busy ... oh dear !!!..one of my teacher was on stand by ... the moment the director said action , there was no holding her back .. she did a fine job .. then it was tmk's turn ...not bad alright ... my teachers are superstars in the making ...... then it was time for another scene and another teacher was called upon .... everything went on fine .... you 'll, see we will be getting contracts for the big silver screen .. soon ...


then it was my turn , i was cool ... since i had some experience in the Nativity Play in church , that, prepared me to take on the universe .... it was my turn the bathroom scene .. my job was to mandikan the kids ... everything went on fine only one take ..... okay, i lied 3 takes ..... had to shower the kids again ... made them smile and you know la how a superstar works ... i don't have to tell you ......



next scene ... potong sayur ..... potong pun potong la ... sayur sawi .... it was hilarious .. the knife was so blunt so i decided to cut the sawi instead .... with that ... it was a wrap and at the end of the day , only our hands were the stars .. but then again it's still our hands .... just wait ... you'll see .... the next Oscar is so gonna be mine ....
