The burn in Malaysia, jotted down with a killer stylus

Hello from Malaysia! I'm here this week doing gigs at 1MicStand and Comedy Kao Kao and even got to do a quick 15 minute guest spot at a new show called Rush Hour (ahah I wore shorts because I wasn't on the show but the organizer told me I could go on and do something for a bit :))

Anyway, its been...Read more

I found my weakness...

... it's my stomach. I think over time I've realized whatever situation I'm in, I'm really on at the mercy of the situation and its time constrains. But the moment my stomach gets wonky (like now), I'm a zombie. My energy levels drop, my mind can't think straight and the only thing I want to do is lie down and sleep. I have been sleeping most of today, and being Sunday, I allowed myself to take a nap without an alarm clock. 2 hours later, I wake up, feel butter but just want to go back to sleep. Hmm.

So ...Read more

The whirlwind

Well, well, well. Things have really gone for a big spin since the last entry. I've performed comedy in Malaysia at the PJ Laugh Fest, Singapore for Asia Stands up @ Comedy Masala, Hong Kong for the usual shows as well as Shenzhen last night. All in a matter of 2 weeks. This is nuts! But a good madness.

I have to admit, I have been completely overwhelmed with work and gigs recently that I have had absolutely no chance to stop and . It's a sad shame when I'm in my room, exhausted and I see the clock has 5 minutes bef...Read more

Hello from the mountains. Here I am in the late afternoon of a cloudy Thursday sitting in the wing cooling down after a nice little hike up the hills. I sit in the very same place I used to almost on a daily basis, gathering my thoughts and simply searching for a moment of peace.

The first thing I noticed when I arrived was how the vegetation around has grown and some of the concrete structure has crumbled from erosion and plantation pressure. The place I used to sit no longer has the view of the sky in front because it's covered by trees and greenery. I...Read more

Be brave.

Things have been hectic for me and I got smacked with the flu recently which had me lying in bed and burning up for 2 days...I never realized how long the day actually is until I was lying in bed all day just sleeping or watching something with half a brain. Someone recently shared the following video clip with me:

I absolutely loved it! What a great viral campaign! And man, after watching that, I sure as hell felt Carlsberg was a cool brand of beer to enjoy! After watching that video, I noticed a similar campaign they did in Hong Kong for ...Read more

Lessons learned

Ever have those times when you hit a point you need to stop and wonder how you got yourself into a situation? These last 10 days have been like that for me. A mixture of being busy like mad, getting hit with the flu, and just burning out has made me stop and rethink a lot of "exciting" things and how it's not that "exciting" after all.

I've been tied up with one of my projects (we've all had those doomsday projects that feel like hell and never seem to end) and my whole world has taken a turn for the wo...Read more

Enchantment

Well, well, well. Here I am 35,000 feet above the ground again. My laptop started to go crazy again but luckily it's working now.

So I was in Singapore yesterday enjoying a set at Comedy Masala and I was not only blown away by the fact that the house was full with 200+ people on a Tuesday night, but the amount the local comedians have upped their game! It's great coming back here because the audiences are ready to have a great time and I've gotten used to the place. I know the drill and I'm familiar with the whereabouts an...Read more

Surprise me

These last 10 days have been full of surprises. It feels like happened. I've gone from excited to bored, stressed to relieved, well to sick and frustrated to inspired.

I came across a website talking about magic and mentioned a letter from the famous Teller from the dynamic due Penn and Teller. The main thing that really struck me was the simple phrase Surprise me. I suppose that applies to al...Read more

High 5 (years anniversary)

Wow. I cannot believe it's been 5 years since I started this blog! And in celebration of that, I shall....get back to work :P

The the future me when I read this post for some random reason, I just wanted to let you/me know that it's a peaceful Saturday morning, kind of like the calm before the storm because from here on till 1.5 months later, I'm going to find myself packed with to do's to check off and visits to the airport at least a couple of times and almost a whole day on a plane combined.

So if...Read more
