SPM Results

12th March 2008.

The day of the release of SPM results.

Audition: Mystery 6

A while back, I was reminiscing back on the first audition I’ve went to.
Of course, the first audition was for SBS’s drama team.
But then I remembered about the first ever audition I went for a tv series.

Hmmm… That was way back during the middle of Form 4 (16, 2006).
It was certainly a show with a different twist than the normal local shows around.
I wonder what happened to that show…

So this evening, I googled for Razif Hashim’s name.

I stumbled into an article of him and took the initiative to search more on him.
Yeah, I’ll admit that I had a slight crush on him back from his early days as Haikal in Gol & Gincu
– That badass guy!

I googled around for him and… I found an article from Youth2 on a tv show, Mystery 6 (M6).

I read the first 2 lines, and find myself being pretty familiar with that plot.
Then I saw the words “Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven and Famous Five” and “Alfred Hitchcock’s”.

Woah! Those were the EXACT words that came out from that guy at my first audition!

I scanned through the article and confirmed that it was indeed the show that I have auditioned for!

Summary of My 2007

It’s exactly 31st December 2007.

Now I’ll summarize the events and important blots of my 2007.

Back at CCD.

Last year, I’ve acted in an educational English series for TV Pendidikan (TVP), under Code Computer Designs (CCD) -

Snips & Snaps.

‘Snips & Snaps’ is a show to educate form 1-3 students on English according to the syllabus.

During the whole period, my parents were my only means of transport.
They were usually late due to their jobs and the traffic jams.
So I’ve spent a lot of time in the office while waiting for them.

Our 2 weeks rehearsals were in the office.
‘Before and after’ the shootings were spent there.
During breaks and lunches, we hung around the office.

From that said, it’s obvious that during the 3-4 weeks together,
the office is like a house to the casts and crews.

Initially, we were supposed to film 6 episodes.
3 in 2006, and another 3 in 2007.
We only made it through the first 3.
TVP cancelled the show after that.

The last time we (the actors) were at CCD’s office, it was after finishing the 3 episodes.
we left the office with thoughts that we’ll meet again next month.
It didn’t occur to us that it will be our last goodbye.

Gerard, Harjit, Samantha, Amie, Firas, Hong (can’t remember the name), Chong (can’t remember the name well either), Camy, Jay, Choo, and Hafi.

It has been about a year since then.

When I came back to the office yesterday, it still looks the same.

Funny, there are still a strong sense of familiarity there.

WHAT HAVE CHANGED:

• I don’t see Firas lying around on the sofa singing Firaslicious Fergalicious.
• Sam is not there to snap at Firas “You are SO annoying!”
• Camera crews aren’t there.

WHAT’ STILL THE SAME:

• The office’s arrangements are still the same.
• The familiar outdated posters.
• Harjit with a black t-shirt and three-quarter khakis.
• Gerard’s shiny bald head.
• Quiet Choo smiling, working herself off using the computer.
• Hafi smoking outside the office, creeping out anybody who walks past him.

And I still see the same words on their whiteboard:

It says “hen -> ayam”

 

A year have passed, and they STILL haven’t clean their whiteboard?!
