The amount sleepless nites & days, the running around with heart stopping moments, and additional white hair is finally paying off.
To the full team from joint partner Nick (Annonymous Productions), director Kenny Wong, cast - Kenny Chan (as the BIG Bibik), Vanessa Hee, Charlene Meng & Michelle Ng (the Little Nyonyas), crew (production & post production), fellow supporting partners - make up artist: Justin Lim (Style House), photographers: Christopher Lee & Adamgrapher (Life Tale Studio), Kebaya wear: Sherman (Toko Ce' Ros) & the management of Globallon Apartments - here's a VERY BIG THANK YOU!
To everyone else, do enjoy this first episode... and spread the video to as many friends possible :)
Here we go again - the Big Bibik talking! haha. And now, its just 3 More Days!
*I love this shot as it clearly shows The Big Bibik... and The Little Nyonyas. Btw, this was taken in the front segment of the Peranakan (Baba Nyonya) house.
I've always been a strong believer in combining interests, hobbies and dreams together. And with me having so many interests, one easiest way would be by creating a platform where all the interests can be combined.
And so, the conceptualisation of Bookmarqc - the one stop centre for all lifestyle information... with lots of Asia content (and beyond, in the future).
So, well how does this relate to my interests heh? Well, for the start, it has lifestyle article contents written by The 8 Khakis... who are 8 friends from Asia. They share about lifestyle tips from Travel to Music, Movies, Gadgets, Health Tips, Fashion & Anime/ Manga.
There is more to come from The 8 Khakis, but for now, that's what they will do - sharing their 'expertise'n in their own fields :)
Btw, it is here that we will review all the talented people from all over too. I realised that it's both fun & inspiring to feature such people, and so the platform is all set for this!
Then of course, there's the video segment - where interesting webisodes (web episodes) will be played. This is really the highlight of Bookmarqc - and I can't wait for the first series to be up! (it has to do with Nyonyas!).
There's a few more segments on the site, like the latest News - yes, read all the news from all over Asia & the Latest Blog Posts! So, bloggers, do sign up your blogs here!
And oh yeah, when you sign up, you stand a chance to win cool prizes from both Malaysia & Singapore - there's hotel room to designer's wear, comics, CD, jewelery and more! (Anyone can join - blogger or not) :)
It has been a long 11 months since the first conceptualisation of this website I created. We are only now officially in beta. There's much more to come, but for now... at least, I can say "Welcome to the world, Bookmarqc"... and to you, "Make It Your Bookmarqc" :)
A lot of people ask me what I do, and I do find it a lil tough to explain at times. In simple form, I'm a publisher publishing physical books.
But to be honest, that's just one part of what I do. The larger perspective would be Media Content & Distribution.
Now, that gets a bit too big to explain - for really, Media is a big term... after all, it encompass from movie/ films, music, articles, cartoon/ anime and manga.
So usually, I don't mention much on this part, except to those who I think will understand this (usually to those in the media line or close to it).... but even this do sometimes come with blank stares.
I don't really blame - cos though the media is something we all can relate in many ways (we read newspapers, magazines, books, watch TV, go to the movies, listen to the radio, play music - digital or from CD, read comics, etc), however, what we see is just one side of it - the 'taking part' as a consumer, and not the doing part... or for that matter the vision part.
Continuing, I explain that apart from the usual content generation (ie articles), my company is going into productions, something that I've always wanted to do (both in the form of creation & on the front). Now, if I stop here, that would be easy.
My 2nd round of blank stares comes when I mention this: But instead of using traditional media (like TV), we are going online - creating webisodes (web episodes/ online TV).
I know this 2nd statement confuses many - but how am I not to mention it?
But maybe, somethings are meant not to be mentioned in total. Like if one is to ask a telco company what they do - their answer is "provide telephone service", though in actual fact, they also do provide data usage, sell handphones, sell digital music and other content (some have their own mobile TV channel, sponsor for big acts/ singers, and more).
Anyway, let's leave that there for now (I'll figure an easier way to mention my company's business someday or maybe in time to come, I won't need to).
In my next post, I'll share the site that has made me put all these media stuffs together - Bookmarqc (yes, the project I've been on since the past 11 months, and ongoing!) :)
