Sami Yusuf's Salaam

This morning on Malaysia Hari Ini (MHI), we welcomed back international "spiritique" artiste, Sami Yusuf from the UK. I say welcome back cos this was brother Sami's second visit to our set, the first time back in April this year.

And this time around, he's here to launch his latest album, "Salaam". The album is exclusively licensed to Arteffects International and and has 16 tracks including the popular duet with Dato' Siti Nurhaliza, "You Came To Me".

When asked about the simplicity of the concept of "salaam", the very foundation of Islam itself, Sami said that it is indeed very timely to remind us all of the message of peace, something that is promoted by every religion in the world.

I just wished that we had more time to talk about the music, but brother Sami also mentioned the song "It's A Game" which is now re-released in response to the Prophet Muhammad movie that sparked controversy recently.



If you're reading this today (2/11/2012), you can meet up with him and get his latest album "Salaam" at KL Sentral later at 4pm. And there will also be a meet & greet session tomorrow at Royale Bintang, Damansara at 2pm.

You can also watch the interview again on www.tonton.com.my (search for Malaysia Hari Ini)

Mamak Cupcake: So Far, So Good!

Yup, personally I'm loving what I've seen so far of "Mamak Cupcake". Been to a few days of production, and I must say that things are looking pretty good. We've got a really professional crew on set and the cast members have just been outstanding.

Really, it was hard for me (and most others) to keep a straight face every time a scene was shot. The comedic chemistry between the actors are really good, and they're really getting into the different characters.

Yes yes, I'm biased, but just remember these words when you catch the film next year : ) In the meantime, check out some of the shots I managed to snap this past week.

Hair We Go!

I knew I had to make a decision. What do I do about my increasingly fashionable hair? (haha). After three months of just letting it go, various comments were basically swaying my next decision. On the practical side of things, wearing it long was proving to be a bit of a distraction when it came to all my outdoor activities. And it was a bit of a chore trying to get it right very early in the morning for MHI.

And so, on Sunday, I went from this...

To this...

The jury's still out though...

Mamak Cupcake: Aaand, Action!

Shooting for "Mamak Cupcake" finally began on Monday, 15th Oct just as planned. Didn't get to go for the first day, but I did drop-by on the following day when some scenes were shot at the Solaris Mont Kiara area. So far, so good!
