So few days back, we were at Malacca which was located quite far from UPSI (maybe will took you around 4 hours or so) Muscle cramps, Action dramas on the road we get that. But the most memorable part of this journey is getting to spend the rest of the trip with this amazing guys. These amazing guys I'm talking about are Wida Kamal (not in the picture), Azmeer, Raihan and Zamer!

To start of the story, it was a hell of a headache for me. With all these dramas that happen to me (Conspiracy Theory) had brought a Domino's Effect to my day. To make things worst, our first location that we wanted to shoot the movie was Cameron Highland, and hell broke loose as the water conquered the place (flood). Sigh, we have to change the location last minute! Damn, I thought. 

Then we took the chance to go to Malacca for the shooting and it wasn't bad at all. We met along of amazing stuffs along the way. Karaoke to ABBA's and the Bee Gee's greatest hits and Ariana Grande's! The stay in Malacca was superb (in terms of budget and hospitality). We went for a stay in Discovery Guest House and darn, the price is so cheap at RM15 per night. Well, its a dorm so its quite cheap. We met the caretaker, Alan who inspires us as he was an ex English teacher (used to work in Penang) but now he settles down in Malacca. He was a backpacker (a term they use - traveler) and he said that this world is his playground. he really inspires me alot.

Then comes to the recording part! It was awesome!! The scenery in Malacca never fails to get its finest shots! I have not enough exclaimation marks to express how awesome it was. From normal makan store to Pantai Puteri, then to Malacca River Cruise. The next morning, St Paul's Hill, Stadhuys, Malacca Ruins, Jongker Walk. Too many footages till my phone memory burst! (till the max) 

I really hope that the movie will turns out well! and yeah hopefully we will win! Pray for us yea!

Friends

Friends. It's the most important gift that one could have. It's a lie to say that you don't have even one friend that care for you in life, being there for you through your thick and thins of life. Maybe it was you, or even I have not recognize them as the one who share your laughter and your tears eventhough they are right there in front of you. 

For me, my life had been full of friends. Crazy. Selfish. Drama. Prankster. Loner. You name it! but they are the ones who paint my life into what I am here today studying in university. Enough to say that, I have a lot of friends that are there to bring me up when I am down in life. Being my saving grace. 

The best things about friends is you can share about your problems and share about FOODS! #nomnomnomnom. It's a total denial, if you say that your life have no problems and ups and downs! Life is always full of twist and turns, and you need friends to unwind it. Friends are the one you can talk to before bed time, you can talk the whole thing that happened in the world , the conspiracies, the crime, the apocalypse or even the simplest things ever, like hobbies till the break of dawn

Be happy with the friends that are there for you now. Because you might not know when they will leave you. Start today by saying to your friends next to you, Thank You and hug them as hard as you can!
