MY VENTURE INTO VIDEO EDITTING

Posted by on

Hellagood-1

Are any of you guys fan of homemade videos? I am in love with it. I am super excited today to share some new videos that I have recently made!

1) Caroline Winata, has started a Photo Booth and invited me to one of their events while I was in Sacremento. Hope you are doing well, Caroline 😀

2) This video was made for during my internship with Mary, Very Merry Events for her online Skillshare Event Sketching workshop. Pardon for the last part of the video, it’s a little out of sync 😛

I have been creating video ever since my first solo trip out in 2009 to volunteer in Thailand. Looking back, that might the TRIP that change my life. In 2009, on the wave of being cool, I owned an expensive turntable set on the note that I would be a DJ someday. It turns out that I just like listening to music and I have other traits I would like to focus on. I put turntable up on a forum and a girl showed up with her mother, Debbie (supposedly her friend). I later found out that her mum runs a non-profit organization, Central Thailand Mission in Bangkok, Thailand. The project gathers resources from Singapore and Thailand and distribute it to different organizations in Thailand.

I am inspired go over in my holidays and Debbie has kindly offered her hospitality. Being the young teenager, I wanted company and started asking friends to join me on this adventure. No one could make it. I, fly over to a different country and stay with this lady I barely knew. There was a lot of uncertainty and I was hesitant. The feeling was like taking that first kiss, you know the time is right, the opportunity is there, but you are afraid. Afraid of what? of being rejected, of hurting your self-esteem, of losing your ego?

Long story short, I took a 13 days trip to Thailand and made a video to raise money for them. Now, I am 11th month into my travels. Baby steps.. right?

I strongly encourage everyone to start embarking on small adventures and make some indie videos. It could be just as easy as compiling photos and playing a song over it. 10 years down the road, it would be a memory well preserved.

SOULFUL MUSIC COLLABORATION

Posted by on

Music is one of those thing in life that will wake me up in the middle of the night and be totally consumed by it. I met Krsytal on a friend’s birthday party. After I beatbox, she came up and suggested a collaboration. Without thinking twice, I agreed. Here the cover of Jailer by  Asa. Krsytal has amazing jazz voice.

 

FEATURE ON IDOLOGI!

Posted by on

Hello from San Francisco,

I am being feature on a blog by a fellow Singaporean, Huiwen. She had just quit her day job as a property analyst. Huiwen now spend her time on inspiring people changes in people through her blog while finding joy and meaning to her life 🙂

“The wheels were turning and a bicycle was what led Bryan and I to cross our paths in life.

We were both riding almost the same vintage-style bicycles from the same bicycle maker. Even though it isn’t in the cultural DNA in Singapore to just chat up a random stranger on the streets, but Bryan is different and that was how we became friends.

Being an avid couch surfer and host, he had with him a guest from Taiwan. Ever the effusive host, right there and then, he invited us to cycle with him to Wimbly Lu, which was a quaint cafe near his home where he did some holiday jobs before.”
