Understand What Men Want @ NTV7 Ep. 1 Review

2012-01-27T20:10:00.008+08:00

It is said that women are complicated creatures. Have you ever thought that perhaps men are just as equally complicated and complex as the fairer sex? If not, this is a good opportunity for you to get to learn the wants, feelings and desires of the male gender when faced with all sorts of situations. Perhaps some would think that men can only relate to sexualised issues, but this myth will be debunked with ntv7’s latest reality series ‘What Men Want’. Beginning 28th January, every Saturday at 10 p.m., six men with completely different perspectives and personalities guide you through the intimate details of their lives as they pursue what they want in life.

From the producers of the award-winning reality show, "What Women Want", this execution is a departure from that format. Local production house phoSumpro! brings a breath of fresh air into the well-established reality show genre. Committed to finding an avenue to let men honestly express themselves, the production house has stripped the show of judges, rewards and competition. There is no ultimate winner to be found here.

According to Ms. Airin Zainul, Group General Manager of ntv7 & 8TV, What Men Want is the first of its kind in Malaysia with unique and distinctive format that will surely keep its viewers entertained.

“We had a number of shows last year which focused on women. This year, we will balance it up with more men oriented programmes and what better way to kick-start it with What Men Want,” said Airin at the press conference held in ecoba Restaurant today.

What Men Want is a unique format, following the lives of 6 men from walks of life that are worlds apart. Far from being just another dating show, What Men Want truly investigates the ongoing debate. It will be a fresh and new experience for viewers, peeking into the lives of these men. The objective is to keep generalisations and stereotypes out of the picture. Instead, What Men Want offers a fresh perspective, as these men take on the task to courageously showcase 3-months of their lives to the rest of Malaysia. Audiences at home will see how the different mindsets of each man take to the realities of life that are pitted against them.

Content Supervisor Mai Fernandez says:

“Relationships merely skim the surface of what this show has to offer. There are neither judges to impress nor prizes to be won. The show is a social observation where each of the 6 participants move about in their daily routine with 2-3 cameras in tow. Three months of shoot yielded so much footage that have to be filtered to piece together compelling hour-long episodes. ”

Through months of careful searching and well-thought out selection, the final 6 guys make up the best possible combination to represent the different segments of Malaysian men. Their personalities spread wide across the various sectors of society, allowing viewers to relate to the experiences they have to share. What Men Want rummages through the most intimate phases of the male feelings, thinking and above all the mind. Issues at the work place, highly confidential family backgrounds, hidden intentions and even down to the contents of a personal diary, the show is peppered with twists and surprises that will stir its followers. Having the guys live together in one house throughout this period, the show has encouraged these men to form a social forum among themselves to share their answers and opinions to the long-standing question.

Producer Tan Yin Yin says that this program was able to capture the six men just being themselves. “Initially, all the participants were very image conscious and camera-aware, but as they became accustomed to the setup day in and day out, the awkwardness and façade faded. Multiple cameras were running throughout the production, some in plain sight, others hidden or shot from afar. Various lightweight and portable rigs were constructed to accommodate all possible shooting conditions with inconspicuous setups. This was important in the execution as it gave the men their breathing room throughout the 3 months.”

Gerrit @ What Men Want

Gerrit is one guy who knows how to play his game, and claims to always get what he wants. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Some may see him as the full-on player with a heart of stone. But then again, What Men Want stands away from creating stereotypes.

Fendi @ What Men Want

Fendi gives us a taste of Mafia-styled confidentiality and lavishness. At times, he might even come across as an overly conceited snob, but also proves himself to be a man with a big heart. Why would a man like him end up joining a reality show? To break away from his mould perhaps.

Narmi @ What Men Want

Some may insist that romance never leaves the comfort of human feelings and emotions. Singer-songwriter Narmi is out to prove this. Ever enjoying the emotional rollercoaster of being in love, he would do nothing less than to make his girl the star of his fairytale. Despite facing heartaches and rejections, his perception of love has yet to change. Away from his devotion to the female species, he shows to be nothing less than a good friend.

Kit @ What Men Want

Kit lives by the motivation that nothing comes before his mother. The filial son has his life going turbulence-free. With the support of his mother's thoughtful guidance and the long lasting love of his high school sweetheart, Kit shares his nearly perfect life with the rest of Malaysia.

Ken @ What Men Want

At first sight, Ken comes across as a tough samseng you wouldn't want to mess with. But he is probably the one with a heart as soft as a marshmallow, Ken shows us that men are as sensitive and mellow as women claim themselves to be. Self-appraisal seems to be irrelevant in his daily agenda, but his highly observant nature leaves him with plenty of stories to tell. His unconditional dedication to his time consuming girlfriend sets him apart from the generalised perception of chauvinistic macho men.

Wolfie @ What Men Want

Lastly, Imran or more commonly known as Wolfie is the full-on clown. A very lively, bubbly and sometimes annoying character, his cheeky ways adds the comical ingredient into the group. He is the one guy who doesn't seem to have a distinct purpose in life, he represents those who are facing a transition in life filled with indecision that is muffled by a carefree outlook.

The beautiful Deanna Yusoff hosts the show. Content Supervisor Mai Fernandez and Producer Tan Yin Yin say she was invaluable on shoot.

“Her maturity, quick perception, insight on the subject matter and natural elegance makes her a perfect fit for the show. We’re really lucky to have her on board.”

“In this show we clearly see that there is no one answer to what men want. It’s not just about sex, flashy cars or money. Men do have feelings; men can change; men do care about a lot of other things and are just as complex as us, women. The show captures these moments because they are filmed in intimate situations.” says Deanna Yusoff.

This reality series has 13 one-hour-long episodes that will delve deeper into the male psyche and serve as a jumpstart to social discussions. It is time to experience reality TV on a whole new level with ‘What Men Want’ starting 28th January, every Saturday at 10 p.m. only on ntv7, the Home of Feel Good.

#########################################

Courtesy of NTV7, I was one of the person given privileges to watch the premiere of What Men Want before other people does. Overall, I like how phoSumpro manage to record these live stories down without forgetting the artistic angle of capturing motion images. It does looks like a TV Series/movie BUT with real-life stories. All 6 guys do have different characteristics, let's start from the most attractive guy name Gerrit. He looks like a playboy for me and really proud of what he did and that's why fire sparks were ignited when he meet Fendi, a guy who sounds reliable and responsible with everything he do. In WMW Episode 1, it seems like Fendi was trying to make a change in his life.

Talking about Narmi (Imran) a Zee Avi type singer, he said he is a guy who definite love as below "I like the feeling of being hurt(heart) and then when reach the moment of happiness it makes you feel even more being loved". Maybe what Imran means is if there isn't any sadness in your love relationship, you won't be appreciate the happiest moment that happened with your girlfriend? Together with Wolfie, a playful sneaky guy who likes to do something very different to grab your attention. Wolfie looks like having a "secret mission" in WMW along the 3 months and I guess nobody manage to guess what he would do in the next step. A guy who is as complicate as a girl.

Kit, a guy who respect and love his mom very much. In Episode 1 it reveals that he doesn't want his girlfriend to go out and work to earn for money as Kit think it is his responsibility to take care of both mom and his girlfriend. Last but not least, Ken, a super loving guy that would follow almost everything that his girlfriend want him to do. In WMW Episode 1, Ken never complain although her girlfriend was late, he looks like a very good follower among the crowd but Kit doesn't like the situation where he feels Ken was treated like a puppy that serve his master well.

What would happen when 6 different type of guy are gathered to live together for 3 months? Surely you will able to see what men want and what happened when they have different perspective.

Young Yang Cong and his dad

Some lucky fans of ntv7 were given a treat to be among the first to watch this cutting edge production during its private screening at Cathay Cineplex on January 10th. There was more in the box of treats than what the fans thought as they were able to catch Happy Family’s main cast gracing the red carpet at the cinema in Mutiara Damansara. [Which I will share at the end of this post]

Family members brought to life using 'Happy Potion'

Back as main cast in this second telemovie are William San 辛伟廉, Wayne Chua 蔡佩璇, Yeo Yann Yann 杨雁雁 (Best Actress, Golden Awards 2010), Frederick Lee 李洺中, Mayjune Tan 陈美君, Leslie Chai 蔡河立, Lim Jing Miao 林静苗, Tiang Kah Chee 程珈琪, Aenie Wong 王淑君, Kyo Chen 庄仲维, and Jack Yap 叶朝明.

Father and son moments - Sharing about Chicken Butt haha

The telemovie tells the magical and mysterious happenings in a family when one of its family members accidentally brought to life the people from a family portrait with a “happy potion” (哈比水） that she uses to wipe the picture. With its witty storyline and star-studded cast, this telemovie will surely bring laughter and feel good moments to the entire family.

Can YangMei and YangYang survive from the motor ride?

“We would like to thank all of you for your great support which made our first Chinese New Year telemovie – The Superb Match Makers 媒人帮 – a big hit when we aired it on the first day of Lunar New Year last year. The telemovie was rated the most watched programme at that particular time slot amongst all channels,” said Lai Cheah Yee, Manager, Brand Management Group of ntv7.

“This gives us the motivation to continue on our success by providing world-class and quality content for the discerning audience. In this upcoming telemovie, we are glad to present to you an amazing storyline and a strong line-up of talented cast that goes with it,” she added.

THREE people on the same ride. Fuyoh!
*see the tyres*

Happy Family 哈比全家福 Synopsis:
The story introduces newlywed Yang Cong 杨聪 (William San) and Li Jia Xin 李嘉欣(Wayne Chua) who returns to their hometown in Kajang after a very long time, not knowing that they will be getting into a lot of unfortunate events later. Cong is the middle child in his family, with an elder brother, Yang Yang 杨扬 (Frederick Lee) and his two younger non-identical twins – Yang Guo 杨过(Adrian Tan) and Yang Mei 杨梅 (Lim Jing Miao).

Cong’s relationship with his family is shattered as they would argue over small matters all the time. To Cong, his elder brother, Yang Yang is not aggressive enough and would take a long time to settle small matters. Cong also dislikes both his parents whereby his mother, Lin Lai Jiao 林来娇(Pearlly Chua) would often get herself into trouble when she lends her hand to others, while his stubborn and old fashioned father is regarded as the worst family member to him. His twin siblings on the other hand, would often give him unwanted headache as they are both very different from each other although being twins. The only family member that Cong would miss is his late grandfather (萧裴弘), whom he spent most of his childhood days with.

Meanwhile, as anticipated by Cong, the atmosphere in his house turns out to be awkward the moment he and his wife, Jia Xin steps in. Cong’s mother then tries her best to change the mood by bringing up the family trip they planned for the next day, without Cong and his wife’s knowledge. Upset with his family’s treatment, Cong left and hides in his room.

The angry and tired Cong soon fell asleep and dream of his childhood, where he spent most of his time with his late grandfather in his carpentry workshop behind their house. The place reminds Cong the wish that he had when he was young. He wanted to replace all his family members whom he dislikes.

Adrian's outfit is the most 70's

The next morning of the first day of Chinese New Year, Cong is surprise to see that his family members are still at home and not at the trip that they talked about last night. Little did he know that the family members in front of him are not his real family members but the ones who came out from the family portrait.

His wife, Jia Xin then explains to Cong about how she brought to life the family members from the portrait with the “happy potion” that she accidentally used to wipe the picture. Cong who is still in shock, decides to test them with various ways but fails to prove them as his real family members.

The moment Yang Cong and wife figured out they brought them life from pictures

He then quickly finds ways to send them back to the family portrait where they came from but to no avail. He now has to live with the all new family members who had total opposite characters of his real family!

Meanwhile, Cong’s new mother who is bored takes the “happy potion” and wipes it on the other family portrait where her twin “jajabo sisters” (Tiang Kah Chee and Aenie Wong) – from the 70s are brought to life. Cong and his wife’s misery is doubled later with more visitors from their neighbourhood like the Wan siblings – Wan Ren Mi (Leslie Chai) and Wan Jin You (Yeo Yann Yann, Golden Awards Best Actress 2010), who has a crush on Yang Yang. Cong’s rich and nosy cousins – Fu Gui (Debbie Goh, Golden Awards Most Popular Actress 2010) and Fu Hao (Kyo Chen) also make an appearance later in the show.

Cong who had enough of the mess created by his new family members decides to “send” them back to the family portrait. As he was carrying out his plan, Cong accidentally breaks the photo frame. Cong and Xin is now forced to continue to stay under one roof with their new family and begin developing strong feelings for them soon after. Cong and Xin later worried about explaining the situation to the real family members when they are back the day after. Meanwhile, yet another surprise unfold with the new family members disappearing.

Cong then tries to look for the “happy potion” to bring them back but to his disappointment, it has all been used up. He then seeks solitary in the carpentry workshop behind his house. He fell asleep and dream of his late grandfather again. Will his relationship with his real family members change for good? Will he ever meet back his new family members?

Actress Wayne Chua who plays Li Jia Xin in the telemovie said that the process of filming this movie was very much a group effort that required many rehearsals. “As many of us were unfamiliar with filming ensemble scenes, we needed many rehearsals before the actual filming of the scenes. This was definitely not a one-man show, “she said.

William San agreed and added that there are many touching scenes in this telemovie that will make you reflect. “There are so many touching family scenes; so much so that some Malaysians might find it awkward when watching with their families because of our culture to not verbally express our feelings and love towards our family members,” he said.

However, he added that Happy Family would be a very good family-movie choice for the whole household on the Lunar New Year. It wasn’t only William who felt that way but the entire cast when some are spotted shedding tears after the screening of the telemovie including the bubbly, Lim Jing Miao. “Happy Family is such a precious movie and it has reminded me to spend my time with my family this Chinese New Year as I’ve never gone home for the past few years during this big celebration.

Watch the story unfolds on ntv7 when Happy Family premiers on the first day of Lunar New Year, 23rd January 2012 at 10 p.m.

Happy Family 哈比全家福 Review:

Happy Family is a comedy that suitable for everyone especially family to watch. A picture means a thousand words. The casting and production crew manage to enhance the importance of taking group family photos during Chinese New Year.

I will always remember Miao Miao's act in this telemovie for sure. Oh ya, Jake's acting also good too. That funny Thai accent. Haha! Imagine three people riding the same motorcycle. How I wish I can have the "Happy Potion" too =)

Looking forward for their next artwork that can be watch in the cinema starting next year!

Shit Malaysians Say feat Davina Goh & Colin Shafer

2012-01-18T12:17:00.004+08:00

If you are always on YouTube and Facebook you might have watch the video "Shit Girls Say" and now there's "Shit Malaysians Say"! Hands up to Colin Shafer and especially Davina Goh that sacrifice her good looks to impersonate (some) Malaysians very well haha! Do watch it if you haven't! Yes they come in a few episodes~!

Starring: Davina Goh
Written by: Colin Boyd Shafer and Davina Goh
Directed and Filmed by: Colin Boyd Shafer

Shit Malaysians Say - Episode 1

Shit Malaysians Say - Episode 2

Davina Goh - A potential Malaysian actor
This is a normal face of her, I guess? haha

Some of the shits Malaysians say:

We "Chut" till the waiter come and serve us

Eat Baskin Robbin for free

Sharing good food WHILE eating with food in mouth

A real life person that can call out all the food on menu
But now foreign worker also can do that

Malaysian's habit throwing rubbish at "Dilarang Membuang Sampah"
Some even create their own dumping zone

"I'm on the way now. Traffic jam outside"

Free sugar @ Starbucks
Free sauces @ McDonald/KFC (last time)

Abundant of no-meter-policy-taxi-driver, which I hate the most

Every time when I was forced to take a cab I will try to avoid those "no-meter-policy-taxi-driver" as much as I possible. They charge ridiculously but sometimes you need their service... You can always bargain with them but it is better to say no and pay your friends instead =.="

Seems like more and more Malaysian is getting familiar with the social media and use it to share their thought effectively =) I also figure out some new YouTube Star in Malaysia too. Including young talented singer like Esther and #likealousai Joseph Germani.

If YOU think you are talented in singing, acting, recording, talking that can share through visual channel, start open a YouTube Channel now and show what you've got because that's how people nowadays promote themselves to the world.

Norton CyberCrime Report Sharing @ Alexis Gardens [GIVEAWAY]

2012-01-13T16:50:00.002+08:00

Norton Cybercrime Report 2011 - Exposing the True Scale

Thanks Norton for the invitation to this sharing session @ Alexis Kitchen Bar (Gardens) as I was able to get in touch with Norton products again after so long. Yes, I was there to check out if there is any improvement and I can ask questions personally~!

"For the first time a Norton study calculates the cost of global cybercrime: US$114 billion annually. Based on the value victims surveyed placed on time lost due to their cybercrime experiences, an additional US$274 billion was lost. With 431 million adult victims globally in the past year and at an annual price of US$388 billion globally based on financial losses and time lost, cybercrime costs the world significantly more than the global black market in marijuana, cocaine and heroin combined (US$288 billion).

According to the Norton Cybercrime Report 2011 more than two thirds of online adults (69 percent) have been a victim of cybercrime in their lifetime. Every second 14 adults become a victim of cybercrime, resulting in more than one million cybercrime victims every day. For the first time, the Norton Cybercrime Report reveals that 10 percent of adults online have experienced cybercrime on their mobile phone. In fact, the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, Volume 16 reported there were 42 percent more mobile vulnerabilities in 2010 compared to 2009 – a sign that cybercriminals are starting to focus their efforts on the mobile space. The number of reported new mobile operating system vulnerabilities increased, from 115 in 2009 to 163 in 2010. In addition to threats on mobile devices, increased social networking and a lack of protection are likely to be some of the main culprits behind the growing number of cybercrime victims."

Friends who attended the sharing session and I somehow snapped their photo since they sit opposite of me.

Does the photos eligible to be used as Magazine's featuring pictures? Hope you like it =)

1 Million plus cybercrime victims a day
Remember the Maybank Fraud Email that you keep receiving in your spambox?

Interesting fact on how men and woman use the internet
"Nearly four times as many men vs women view adult content online"

The disconnect between awareness and action is further illustrated by the fact that while 74 percent of respondents say they are always aware of cybercrime, many are not taking the necessary precautions. Forty-one percent of adults indicated they don’t have an up to date security software suite to protect their personal information online. In addition, less than half review credit card statements regularly for fraud (47 percent), and 61 percent don’t use complex passwords or change them regularly. Among those who access the Internet via their mobile phone, only 16 percent install the most up to date mobile security.
