Dinner & discussion on TV with Liam

Liam came for dinner. I served him masak lemak cili api ayam & sayur campur goreng kicap :) We got to talk about many things - and one of the many was TV programs. I think it triggered me to talk about TV in Malaysia. It is also appropriate since I was given access to some photos taken at shooting locations. I guess they they are legit reasons for this entry on the entertainment scene in Malaysia :)

Being away from home, naturally, I have not been in touch with TV programs in Malaysia. From my observation (during my Raya holiday last year), there's a lot more interesting and fresh materials on TV now compared to 10-15 years ago. And there is a slight openness in the subject matters being approached as well. I do not really have to elaborate on that. I guess Malaysia has come a long way.

+ Fresh materials would mean fresh faces as well - as depicted in this photo. I am not sure who this girl is, but I simply adore her sweetness. I am sure there are a lot of fresh faces, I hope this girl won't end up in some sleazy scandals. BTW, I bet QiranaKencana can tell me who these people are!

I guess this is a program/drama that is going to go on air soon. To Malay drama followers - watch this space. Even before this is being shown, I guess this will attract younger crowd to be glued to teley with the new faces on the screen. Then again, faces alone is not enough, there is a need for new approach to the materials as well as creative touch in terms of direction and cinematography.

+ Who doesn't know Farish Aziz (2nd from right), from a TV presenter he has leaped to become a promising actor. I remember seeing him on Astro - 360 or something

+ Another one of Farish Aziz (in the middle) & friends. Wish them well, and we are certain that we won't be bored when it comes to weekend. After all, let's stay inside watching TV a lot more during this economic turmoil ;)

I do not really have much to say on this subject. Perhaps this is not my space. Haha. It is just that I am glad, things are fresh - in terms materials & faces! I have been away for a bit, I do not even know the new faces. All I have is hope and confidence in the new generation of TV in Malaysia. I guess, there is so much that can be done. Slowly the progress is being made. I can't wait to watch more of Malaysian TV if the material is fresh and away from the normal and typical Malay stuff - you know what I mean :)
