Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha


He, he...Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha Nenek ucapkan kepada cucu-cucu Nenek baik yg di Les' Copaque atau pun yg diluar tu yg menggemari celoteh Nenek. Tahun ini Atuk kau orang korban dua ekor lembu. Yg seekor ni ada rupa Mumu tak?

Kepada semua cucu Nenek, Nenek dan Atuk nak ucapkan Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru. Semoga tahun mendatang ini menjadi tahun yg lebih baik dari tahun sebelumnya untuk kita. Yg baru kahwin tu dapat anak, yg baru bercinta tu kahwin dan yang takde girlfriend ke boyfriend tu dapat pasangannya. Kalau tahun 2007 ni tak dapat pasangan juga , cuba lagi. Tapi yang pentingnya, GENG mesti siap tahun ni.

He..hee.. Anak buaya mudik kehulu, nampak sedikit hujung ridipnya, anak dara duduk di pintu, nampak sedikit hujung te....knya.

CUTI CUTI MELAKA


He.,he..... seronok betul Cucu-cucu Nenek pergi bercuti ke Melaka hujung minggu lepas sambil tengok budak Nizam tu buat majlis bertandang di rumah neneknya. Mana tak seronok, duduk di Air Keroh Resort, dah tu kompeni bayar pula.... ha tengok tu!... bukan main eksyen lagi duduk kat sofa hotel tu.

Lepas check-in dia orang semua datang kat bunglow Nenek di Famosa Resort. Sampai aje kat rumah Nenek, belum sempat ape lagi semua terjun kedalam swimming pool.


Nenek tak sempat ikut serta berenang dgn cucu-cucu nenek ni sebab nenek tertinggal baju renang, lagi pun.. Nenek sibuk menyiapkan barbeque untuk cucu-cucu Nenek ni.

Kali ni, Nenek betul-betul jamu dia orang sebab lepas ni, Nenek nak dera dia orang untuk siapkan filem Geng sebelum akhir tahun 2007. Hari itu, tah mana Atuknya dapat, sekor rusa diorang barbeque.

Wah seronoknya dia orang makan bersama Nenek tu............


Tak sangka Mumu pernah kerja kedai makan Pakistan...... dia yang bakar daging rusa tu. Pandai betul dia bakar........... semua hitam, dia kata terlebih render.

Bila dah malam............. dia orang main bluff, balik-balik si Zaid dengan si Faiz yang kalah. Konon pandai kelentong, rupanya dia orang tak pandai tipu.... patutlah bila tak siap kerja tersengeh aje..

Yang kesiannya, pengantin kita, hajatnya nak ikut sama berenang, tapi tak kesampaian... maklumlah kena berinai malam tu.




Esoknya, ramai-ramai dia orang pergi rumah Nizam tengok dia bersanding. Wah bukan main meriahnya....... dah tu ada cendol pula. Penanggahnya ramai pulak yg pandai berkaroke .... Nenek suruh cucu-cucu Nenek lawan, sorang pun tak berani..... dengar khabar sebelum buat katun dengan Nenek semuanya pandai menyanyi............ entahlah!!!!!

Habis aje acara dak Nizam tu, dia orang terus melawat bandar Melaka. Maklumlah, dulu mak dia orang tak pernah lepaskan dia orang.... bila dapat can, terus dia orang tak lepas peluang.

Tengok si Mumu tu.... bukan main berposing kat kapal atas darat tu... lepas tu dengan perempuan pulak tu. Kalau lah Maknya nampak... habislah dia.

Si Ee Jean yg tak pernah pergi Melaka tu bukan main seronok lagi. Dia beritahu Nenek yg minggu ni dia nak pergi lagi..... tapi kalau tak silap Nenek dia nak kerja Sabtu/Ahad sebab hari tu pergi test kereta. Entahlah... Nenek pun dah lupa.
Nanti tanya dak Nizam tu.

Malam tu... semua tidur rumah Nenek sebab hotel dia orang duduk dah expire.

Besoknya... dia orang pergi Safari kat Farmosa. Tengok tu Si Anas tu berangan jadi raja ular. Seronok betul dia orang. Malam baru dia orang balik ke Shah Alam.

Nenek rasa dia orang dah cukup berehat sebelum meneruskan perjuangan mereka membuat filem Geng.

He..he.. nenek mengantuk, atuk terlentuk...korang jangan menegantuk. Buat Kojo.....

Happy Birthday Les' Copaque!



Happy Birthday to Les’ Copaque Happy Birthday to success and effort put by many young talents in the world of animation. Exactly on 5th of December 2005 (yes i know this post is a tad bit late), was the day when the pioneers of Les' Copaque Production started working in the office planning for the big project that is now diligently in full force production. On that day, Aunty and Uncle bought us a yummy cake, to celebrate the hardship that all of the Les’ Copaque employees are putting in the movie ‘Geng’ that will be complete within a year and on screen.

Honestly, it was my first experience of a company’s annual celebration, and it was great seeing them stuffing their face with cake and shares the smile and laughter together. This company is new, but people here are just so close and comfortable with each other they all look like a big happy family, with bright fresh ideas to *woo* many out there.. Since I’m fairly new here… I’m wooed everyday by the people here… by the warmth smile of good mornings (except from anas) and kindness.


I would like to end this entry by congratulating everyone here… who keeps the passion burning for Les’ Copaque…

Happy 25th err i mean 23rd Birthday!



Woohooooo Happy Birthday Zaaaiiiddd! It is your birthday isn't it? Yuki and Ah Wei bought the cake in secret during lunch, while Azi delayed him til we got it to the office. Har har. Tapi saya pulak didn't block him from seeing Yuki and Ah Wei lighting the candles in the dark meeting room. Supposed to call for a meeting. Sorries Zaid but SAPRAIS ANYWEIH!

This was officially the first birthday we celebrated at Les' Copaque since the last one, Yong Pin's was celebrated by OTing at the office. Itu pun months ago. So anyway even if this post is a little late, happy birthday yo! Jangan nakal2 dah tua sikit ni yerk.


Hhmm i was wondering why he had that look on his face when he ate that cake.

Kisah - Sebiji Eejean


Kali ini saya akan post kan komik terkini. Dah lama tak lukis komik. Tapi atas dorongan atuk dan nenek.. siaplah komik ini pulak... semuanya satu malam punya kerja.... (mampuih la esok tak larat bangun)

So, basically this post is a tribute to Eejean... Dia dah tak de di office for like 3-4 days rasanya... and we all miss her already... Office telah menjadi sunyi sepi dan we realize we really need eejean...we need eejean to sing lagu "kakak ku jambu" while we are working.....and we need eejean to remind us when what time we should play kong kong... and we need eejean to pukul safwan....

But, whatever it is... the most important thing is.... we need eejean because she is part of our team... so Eejean... this post is for you... we really need you here... there is lot of scenes need to be animate.... and you miss lot of things already... like zaid's birthday cake (nyum.. nyum).. and atuk belanja tomyam (nyum.. nyum ..)... did i mention it was a chocolate cake?.. ohya, it was a chocolate cake... yeah, we know u like chococlate cake so much... that why yuki tolong makan for your part.. dont worry.. we are teammate remember.... we help each other...

//btw, kami ucapkan congrat bcoz u pass the exam... (if what u have said to yong pin is true lar)

Dak Nizam Kawin!!


Hehehehe....Susahnya nak dapat gambar budak Nizam ni kawin. Puas ler nenek minta, banyaklah dalihnye...nasib baik malam tadi nenek dah bagi dia makan barulah dapat gambar. Itupun Dini yang bagi. Agaknya si Nizam tak nak tunjuk kat orang kot...sebab takut saham dia jatuh. Haaa...kau jawablah dengan Dini!!!
Yang ini pulak, nenek tak nak keluarkan tapi atuk kau sibuuuuk sangat nak suruh keluarkan. Dia kata dia teringat dolu-dolu...iyer ker tu?? Entah-entah teringin...piat telinga karang tau lah....
Yang 4 orang tepi pengantin tu semua masih bujang trang tang tang lagi!! Yang paling popular kat Kedah tu yang sebelah pengantin tu lah...Sekarang dia kat office asik cakap Kedah jer...tak tau lah kenapa.. :P



Hehehehe.....

Beli roti dari Baiiiiii,
Goodbye....

What is going on?

Hai!...... we have just commissioned our server with one tera-bytes storage capabilities last week. I do not know what it is.... initially they were complaining of not enough storage capacity for their files. So trying to be smart, without consulting them, Atuk went to Da Vinci and bought a beautiful cupboard for their files. Guest what?... they laughed at Atuk when it was delivered to the office............ and now I don't know where to store this cupboard. I guess it will be for my new house and Nenek must be happy as this thing cost me a fortune. However, their version of file storage is more expensive and Atuk still wandering whether it is right or wrong to join this kids in the first place..... Well!! Nenek still believe in them and Atuk have no choice, if not Atuk have to sleep in the office with them.... oh No!!!!!!!!!

Last night Nenek had approved the scripts up to Scene 16. It's a long way to go as we planned to have 45 scenes altogether..... Atuk told Nenek to complete the scripts by Mid January before Anas having a meeting with Steven Spellberg in UK later next month. If not she will have to attend computer class......... that's my order.

Well!! we have finalised the talent search for all our voice over actors. Wow.... it was such an overwhelming responds as we have application from as far away as Mongolia and Magnolia. Well, as this movie will be in Bahasa we have to decline all those aspiring actors from oversea. We will only work with the local talents........... especially with those who have expirence acting during their school days. Nenek is very particular about which school they come from, as some school have very fierce headmaster and those from these schools tend to cry when we ask them to repeat their lines over and over again..

Oh my God! it is not easy to handle this amateurs...... lucky Atuk and Nenek used to playBangsawan during our younger days. So we have to coach them on the spot.......... and guess what? ..... some of them started sending their CV to Pixar to be considered for voice actors in their next film. Well....... I have instructed Ijan to prepare the proper contract for them to sign. They have to finish this film first, if not where Safwan and Nizam want to put their face....... all the folks back home knew about this project. To date we have completed the voice recording of all dialogs up to scene 8. To those who have contributed to these efforts, both Atuk and Nenek would like to thank them. So all the animators........... get your act together and go .. go..go!!!

Well......... while Yong Pin is working ( he scared to go back to his apartment, as Ee Jean is not around), Atuk want to go swimming with Nenek.............bye

New Recruits!

Our team have hired the latest recruits to enter our production. Actually some of them have joined for quite a while but here's a more proper way of presenting them.


Introducing Faiz! Faiz is involved in effects and research on other things to make our final composite look nicer. Walaupun mamat ni kurus, tapi rambutnya rock sekali.


Fuad is our new artist, doing character designs, storyboarding, and others. He's the biggest guy in the office so far but also the most quiet. Ironic isn't it? Pandai senyum je memanjang.


Zis is Azi, padawan in training. Right now helping out with audio and voice acting recording but she says she wants to be in PR in the future. Gogogogog Azi!


Last but not least, this is Nazrul. The final member from the original Misi Mustahak team to join Les' Copaque. Naz is here as an animator and is known also for his l337 technical skillz. woot.

So the others would like to welcome the new recruits to Les' Copaque and hopefully they can enjoy working together with us in the production. Yay now we have more people to play card games with after work.

Masa Bersantai

He...he... hari ni semua Cucu-cucu Nenek dah balik kat opis. Yang kahwin dah balik, yang sekolah dah cuti jadi semua ada kat opis tadi. Satu pagi dia orang meeting....maklumlah dah lama tak jumpa. Entah apa yang dia orang bincang Nenek tak tahulah, sebab dia orang tak ajak Nenek. Agaknya dia orang takut Nenek membebel. Entah-entah dia orang nak tahu dari diorang punya bos tu seronok tak kahwintu. Sebab antara mereka semua ni.... bosnyalah yang mulakan cerita kahwin-kahwin ni........konon " leadership by example lah". Kalau tak cerita tu apahal meeting panjang sangat sampai nak sembahyang jumaat?

Nenek saje biarkan diaorang santai dulu... maklumlah, minggu lepas hingga awal minggu ni semuanya teruk bekerja. Kalau tengok dia orang hari Isnin lalu, semuanya mamai...... maklumlah sampai lima hari dia orang tak tidur. Jadi dua tiga hari ni Nenek bagi chanlah. Malam tadi dia orang ramai-ramai pergi main Futsal khabarnya. Cucu Nenek, si Udd kata yang lelaki semua tak pandai main........ yg pandai Eee Jin aje, tapi tahan dgn tangan. Kalau yang perempuan tu tak da mesti dia orang kalah. Nenek tengok dia orang main bola kat komputer pandai sangat..........patutlah asyik pakai tangan aje.

Malam ni dia orang ramai-ramai pergi tengok wayang cerita Happy Feet. Pagi-pagi lagi si Yong Pin ajak nenek tengok wayang........ manalah Nenek nak pergi. Mata Nenek dah rabun ......... nanti tidur aje dalam panggung. Tapi bila Nenek balik rumah tadi... Atuk ajak Nenek pergi Karoke Dangdut malam ni tau!!!. Baik pergi dangdut dari ikut dia orang... Nenek dapat berdangdut macam siapa tu?.... Inul agaknye? Dangdut gerudilah!!!!!!Kau orang budak-budak manalah tau.

23hb ni, semua cucu Nenek nak ikut Nenek pergi Farmosa sambil tengok dak Nizam tu kahwin kat kampong dia. Cucu Nenek semuanya nak mandi kat Nenek punya swimming pool sambil berbabecue. Wau... seronoknya. Semalam dak Nizam tu sibuk mengendeng nak ikut sekali. Mana bolih........... kan dia sibuk nak kahwin. Kita tengokkan kalau mak dia bagi pergi. Hai.... dah kahwin pun minta mak approve lagi.

Ah dah lah.... Nenek ni asyik merpek aje. Minggu depan siap kau orang. Semua mesti kerja keras balik. Kalau tidak tak boleh pergi Farmosa.

He..he.. Panglima Ah Win sungguh tangkas, semua jenama habis di serang,baru kahwin macam belangkas, bila dah lama jalan sorang.

Watch Out For Our Teaser


Hello everybody!!! I'm the new oldman in this blog...... but the wise oldman in this team. Since I'm the oldman (from the previous generation), my story telling will not be in your tune as during my time there was no blog or hip-hop and I still depend on my grandaughter to type this blog. Well, I don't even know how to start the computer....pardon me, but I believe I'm still handsome for the old girls in town. Shhh... don't tell Nenek Kebayan, pls.

Well.... for the last two months, the team had been working like mad to finish the teaser of "Geng" for somebody in town to see. Last week was a real challenge for the team........ as the team leader getting married and the dateline was on Monday ( Why on earth did he got married during this time?!!), half of the team members had to shoulder the responsiblities to meet the dateline while the other half had to witness their team leader marriage ceremony. Well, they need to give support and comfort to their boss, that it is ok for him to get married. Once married, he can't stay overnight at the office and they can enjoy playing games...............quote from them to Atuk.

Kudos to all of you who managed to shoulder on the responsibilities and worked for 72 hours non-stop. The teaser is wonderfull and very well received by all my grandchildren, in fact they had been asking me to produce the extended version. At this moment, I don't think the team will be able to even stand-up....... so, I just take my grandchildren to watch Happy Feet. We will be releasing our teaser very soon after who's who in town have seen it ......... of course with favourable and constructive comments. Watch out on our website!!!!!

We have appointed our musical director last night. You will be able to hear his works when we replace the sneak peek preview with a new version........... well the images remain the same but the music and the voice over are new. The voice over are done by the actors to be in this film. Talking about actors.......... its a real challenge to handle young actors. Luckily Azie, Anas and Nenek are expert in handling children...... well Atuk had to go to Giant so many times to buy candies!!!!

So.............watch out for the new sneak peek and teaser!!!!!

Bye!

SELAMAT PENGANTIN BARU

He..he... komplen pulak budak Nizam tu pasal tak post dia punya wedding kat blog!!! Bukan tak mau post........... geng dia orang dah sabotaj. Bawa kamera tapi si Safwan tinggalkan kat Nizam di Kedah. Dah tu balik opis hari Khamis ... jadi manalah ada gambar nak tunjuk kat cucu-cucu nenek yg lain. Nasib baik Nenek buka album masa depan ........... dapatlah gambar dia orang masa akan datang. Insyallah kalau dia orang balik nanti Nenek postkan gambar dia orang untuk semua orang tengok.

Hari tu Nenek pergi juga tengok wedding dia orang. Cucu Nenek yang ini memang terror, sekali aje dah sah. Tapi ada orang bisik kat Nenek dia bagi sampul surat kat saksi dan Imam...... ini mungkin kes sogok... patutlah sekali aje. Nati kita tanya dia bila balik nanti.......... selalunya kalau dia buat kerja tak pernah sekali siap terus.

Bila Cucu Nenek yang ini duduk bersila depan Imam, anak dara Kedah berebut-rebut nak menjenguk kedepan. Habis sanggul Nenek. Ingat dia orang nak tengok pengantin.......... rupanya dia orang tengok pengapit si Nizam... budak Zaid tu. Dia orang kata hensom!!!!.... Wah nampaknya Nenek kena pergi Kedahlah sekali lagi. Dia orang kata, bila raya boleh syer kereta balik Kedah.
Suka hati Hang lah.......

Macam ne pun... Selamat Pengantin Baru dan cepat balik kerja..... Keret kebal Hang nak meletup dah.

He..he... Anak itik anak ayam, dapat bini cantik tak tidur malam

Melayu dan Rejeki................

He..he.... nak tergelak Nenek tengok cucu-cucu Nenek melatah bila kena usik sikit. Tiba-tiba aje semua orang berminat membaca cerita Nenekyang dah nyanyuk ni. Baguslah tu, sekurang-kurangnya dapat membakar semangat cucu-cucu Nenek di Les' Copaque, mau pun yang berada diluartu supaya sama-sama lebih maju lagi.

Kepada Cucu Nenek yang nama Zalee tu, Nenek nasihatkan pergi buka kamus dan pahamkan pebezaan perkataan mengutuk dengan menkritik. Kalau dah paham sila kritik kerja cucu-cucu Nenek supaya kita sama-sama dapat memajukan diri sendiri. Kalau nak mengutuk..... antar saja e-mail kat cucu-cucu Nenek supaya semua orang tak buang masa nak bertikam lidah.

Dulu Nenek masa muda pun macam cucu Nenek si Zalee tu juga. Konon Nenek hebat sangat...semua kerja orang lain tak bagus dan sentiasa bagi komen yang kononnya pedas... barulah orang lain boleh maju macam Nenek. Sebenarnya bukan itu... saja Nenek nak menunjuk kononnya Neneklah yang paling terror. Satu hari...ada budak yang hingus baru masuk kerja cakap kat Nenek... "Kalau Nenek terror sangat apa yang Nenek dah capai? Masih kerja bawah Boss lagi. Tak siap assignment pun masih kena hampot dengan Boss macam kita orang juga!!"...... Nenek masa tu tersentak betul. Ingat dah teror sangat.... rupanya masih tunggu gaji hujung bulan nak bayar bil credit card. Fikir punya fikir Nenek berhenti kerja dan berniaga. Dah masuk bidang berniaga ni baru Nenek tau yang kita tak boleh berlagak teror... nanti jadi terrorist. Tapi Nenek bersyukor, Nenek berjaya mendapat juta yang pertama (bukan Rupiah) pada umur Nenek 38tahun. Setelah berjaya dan terkenal dalam bidang yang Nenek ceburi dulu takda apa lagi yang Nenek nak kejar. Itu sebab Nenek menceburi bidang ini untuk suka-suka saja... ialah nak melepaskan masa terluang Nenek sebelum Nenek tutup mata. Insyaallah .... Nenek akan berusaha menjadikan semua cucu Nenek di Les Copaque ni jutawan satu hari nanti. Kalau Cucu Nenek Zalee tu nak belajar macam mana nak berjaya bolehlah jumpa Nenek nanti.

Satu lagi yg Nenek nak beritahu Cucu-cucu Nenek yang berfikiran bahawa orang Melayu tak perlu lagi beradab sopan untuk menjadi lebih maju lagi. Bila orang Melayu dah tak ada adab sopan lagi, kita akan hilang identiti. Kita jangan hilang identiti kita atas alasan untuk mengejar kemajuan.......orang Jepun hingga hari ini masih membongkokkan badannya memberi hormat walau pun mereka telah maju beratus-ratus kali dari kita. Percayalah pada diri kita sendiri dan tak payahlah meniru budaya barat yang negatiptu.

Sebut pasal percaya diri sendiri, Nenek dan cucu-cucu Nenek di Les Copaque percaya kita tak payah meniru cerita Pixar atau Hollywood untuk berjaya. Kita berpendapat cerita kampong kita boleh berjaya ditahap global kerana ia membawa pembaharuan kepada penonton global. Seperti Mahata kata di laman Mr. Z... image yang kami ingin ketengah ini memang sukar untuk dipasarkan dan mesti ada sebab kami buat. Ya...Betul... memang ada sebab Nenek buat begitu...... supaya jika berjaya nanti kita dapat berbangga yang itu wajah Malaysia dan buatan Malaysia.... seperti kata Elemental master.... "we're introducing Malaysia to the whole world , not introducing whole world back to them". Jika kita berjaya , negara kita akan berbangga, tetapi jika kita tiru image dia orang, kita akan menjadi salah satu studio seperti mereka dengan tak ada apa yang dapat kita banggakan. Filem kita wajah Kita..... Hidup Malaysia maju Les' Copaque.

Tentang biaya tu... Nenek rasa kita tak menyusahkan sesiapa...... it is not your problem. Kalau tak berjaya pun...... menurut kata En. David Teoh dari Metrowealth..." tak ade rejeki!!!". Kalau Les' Copaque takde pun, kau orang pun kena cari rejeki untuk anak Bini. Jadi rejeki ada ke tak ade bukan masaalah kami dan bukan Les' Copaque yang menentukan. Tapi yang dah tentu, kalau kami meletup, semua cucu-cucu Nenek yang terlibat dalam animasi akan mendapat rahmatnya. Dah tentu Les' Copaque nak besar kan studio, ha!!!... masa tu kalau Mr. Z..... berminat bolehlah hubungi Nizam. Insyaaalllah....

Satu lagi yang Nenek tertarik ialah komen Yong Pin dan Cycom. Dua orang yang bukan Melayu tahu beradab sopan. Yong Pin telah memberikan jawapan yang objektif kepada semua komen dan Mr Cycom yang tahu meminta maaf bagi pihak orang lain. Kita perlu mengambil iktibar diatas perbuatan yang terpuji ini....khas buat Mr. Z.....

He...he.... Nenek Kebayan Atuk Ranggi, Nenek nak tengok Melodi.
