Ever since I learned how to write a screenplay, I have always written lead characters who have something in common with myself, loneliness. I've been asked by numerous people about it, and the funny thing is even after I try to avoid writing those types of characters I always end up back to where I started. I think that comes down to how I have been all my life, I mean...I grew up in two different countries...I know that's not a lot but still...I spent five years of my life in Australia then I moved to Brunei then I finally came back to Malaysia in '92. As much as I know my parents love me to death (if they didn't love me I wouldn't have a roof above my head for all these years), I have always felt that its me against the world. Family aside, I have always kept a lot of stuff to myself than rather share them with my best mates, I mean its all good, I tell them what they want to know and what I want them to know and that's it. The love life is one thing too, I have never had a meaningful relationship ever so I guess why I write my characters like that is too in a way tell myself that it's going to be okay. A way for me too keep my sanity together, a way for me to believe that I will not be alone forever. :)
