Tired...

Having 2 jobs is draining all my energy away... Especially when 1 of them is being ya own boss...
On night shift now, supposed to be sleeping, but was awaken by the thousands of stuffs that awaits to be done...

Drafted a small little list of stuffs to do, thinking if i had 1 mth of break from ST, i might be able to complete everything... Called Yim, helped me prioritize the stuffs... Now a video is still rendering in progress...

Random Thoughts... Thinking of what happened @ PH...

Bear was screaming his lungs off,
Wobbling about everywhere he went,
bumping into everyone in his way...
Ben following everywhere he went,
coaxing him, telling him what he's been through...
Kel keep telling ben to leave him alone,
He'll get back to normal once he puked...

Initially i was juz laughing my ass off with the rest of the guys,
Bear turns aggressive,
Screwing everyone that tried to clam him down...
Wandering his way through the crowd,
Bumping into people and crashing to the ground...
Ben & I was with him all the way, apologizing to people as we followed...

I was calm... till he shouted @ us, telling us to get lost...
I lost control for a moment, almost laid my knuckle into his cheek,
but managed to changed it to a grab instead,
I found myself choking him wif 1 hand and screaming into his face,
with my echo shouting back at me, i slammed him against the fence of dragonfly...

"if u want us to leave, fine!
only when u wake up!
u dont even know wtf r u doing,!"

Still choking him, i slammed him to the bushes...

"u cant even walk properly,
u think lying in the middle of the road is fun?
tying ya shoelaces while holding up the traffic behind u?
leaving u alone here will juz get u killed!
u think itz worth it to die here juz becoz u came out to drink?!"


he finally got control of himself so we dragged him to some secluded spot and left him to puke...

Kinda felt guilty about the chok-slam part, then again, it eliminated the agressiveness within him... Bear promised not to get drunk till that state again....

The Start of BTL...

What has started to be a hobby/pastime had now become a part of him.

His life is now revolving around BTL (BeyondTheLens).

BTL started as an idea by Yim (Law's buddy) and Himself.

They were in the army as a media/design team for the division, doing event coverage, corporate videos, work-plan videos, magazines, poster designs, calendar designs, blah blah blah...

When Law was attending some weddings of relatives & friends, he find himself seated watching the organizers running about and camera crew all over the place. He thought that it was nice not to be the part of the working crew for a while.

Some videos were shown during these wedding receptions, normally photo-montage of photos since young. He thought to himself, he could have easily done better than any of those. The urge to do the video was intensified after friends told him the charges... These videos could easily fetch a few hundred bucks to 1k! And he was doing millions of those for the army for 500 bucks per month~!

Soon Ivan (Ex-Colleague of Law's) introduced them to their 1st “wedding customer”. They tried to make the video unique, not juz a photo-montage of some animated cartoons of the couple, but they were asked to act. They have to re-enact what actually happened, how they met, how they got together, and finally how he proposed... It turned out so well that it brought attention to many during the dinner itself.

Customers after customers and deals after deals, from a puny little camera to what BTL has today; We had build confidence, gained experiences, skills & will overcome whatever challenges that lies ahead…
