It's Deepavali, and I'm still ill.

Hello all, well this weekend is the Hindu festival of Deepavali (that's what they call Davali over here, not too sure why, but I think it's cos UK has mainly Northern Indian descendents, but here they are mainly descended from Southern Indian migrants - from Tamil Nad and Ceylon mainly).
So the Indian parts of town are all jolly nice fun, lots of people, food, lights and that music from those mad long wooden flute/trumpet things wot is very Indian. The ones that snake charmers use in the movies innit.

I've been pretty busy and stressed this past couple of weeks, editing a music video for a Malaysian superstar (so he is indeed, no diggety) and it's rather a tough gig, with a mad heavy edit, I'll show you in a couple of weeks when it's done and released. I get to be on TV, because they interviewed me as they made the "making of" video. So I got to rant on about all the crap things here (mainly braindead drivers and the litter), and generally be a super arrogant white bastard, after all I have to keep up appearances, right? And nothing works better in Malaysia than a racial stereotype, so don't want to confuse the poor misguided buggers, oh no, so best to play up to the English = Arrogant.

Can only be a quick posting, cos I got a big render going on which is nearly done.

Footnotes: Mum, sorry no email, read above, hecticness, will email soon. Have you got my parcel yet??? If not I will have to bitchslap my friends that brought it over. Let me know.

Andrew, we shot half of the video on the Red camera. Mmmmmm. Red Cam. Mmmmmm. Sexy. 4k. Mmmmm. Jealous? Mmmm? Not even a little bit.

Others: If Andrew doesn't read my blog, please be sure to rub his nose in the above footnote.

Love to all
