ntv7's The Breakfast Show does S'kali!

9.25am Malaysian time, this morning (2 Aug '06)- Writer/Director Arivind Abraham and Associate Producer Bahir Yeusuff are interviewed live on air in a mini S'kali segment on ntv7's The Breakfast Show!

For the lucky ones amongst you that were still in bed (and not at work like the rest of us) at this hour, here's the brief lowdown on what happened complete with pictorial aids:

8am- Arivind and Bahir watch The Breakfast Show being broadcast while waiting their turn. Meet and chat with Lina Tan of Red Films, who is in the slot before them. Breakfast arrives after Lina pointedly asks on air why there isn't any, "breakfast show summore!".
Thanks Lina :)


In the make-up chair. Bahir looking unusually content as he gets powdered, as Arivind (having just been powdered himself) looks on.


The S'kali segment goes on air! Bubbly hosts Daphne and Naz seem genuinely amazed with the youth of the entire film's team and the quality of the clips and trailers shown. The cast is also noticed-observations include "eh, that's Azimy!", "that's Angeline Rose" and "ooh, J.Lo!"...
as in Jason Lo's cameo, not Jennifer.


10 minutes (or less?) later- segment ends and Daphne comes over to shake my hand, having seen me hovering with a camera. Our duo are hurriedly un-miked, thanked and wished best of luck, and sent on their way.

Whereupon we adjourned to Kampung Baru for some good nasi lemak. Only way to round off a full morning, no?
