New Office New Spirit

Sujimy — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 02:07:42 +0000

I just moved office. Though we are still sorting out some inventory and other storage stuff, I must say it gave me a new-found spirit. This month, Screenbox is 10 years old and moving to a new office seemed a great way to start a new decade.

Looking back, we have actually done a lot and achieved more than what we asked for. All Praises to Allah for all this.

We started a 2-person company doing very small job. So small that no one knows what we can do.

But one TV programme changed everything for us – Kau Istimewa (You’re Special). This documentary featured extraordinary people with extraordinary challenges. The programme was developed for Islamic Council of Singapore, Muis, to help its effort to collect Zakat (tithe). It was aired on Mediacorp TV12 (Suria). The programme successfully branded the zakat campaign and won us 2 International Awards in the United States.

I still have fond memories conceptualising the TV programme. Not many people know that I got the idea in the wee hours – 2 o’clock in the morning – it’s the best time to format an idea you know! Once I got the title right, everything just flow. The docu-drama got viewers’ heart and support. Till today, I still have viewers requesting to be connected to some of the case profiles we featured in the show.

10 years later, ScreenBox grew to produce TV shows for numerous channels locally and internationally in numerous platforms and languages.

I’m looking forward to greater things in ScreenBox and very excited in our next journey.

I want to thank my team, all our supporters, fans, clients and broadcast partners for being there all these years. Without you, we won’t have the same great journey.

Have a great new year ahead!

Pause & Reflect

Sujimy — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 09:14:22 +0000

Have you ever had a moment that made you stop and ponder about things? I just had one recently. Was returning home one day and there it was… the biggest rainbow I have ever seen in my life! I have seen some in the past but nothing close to this. The colours were so clear. Every single one of them. Really tanda kebesaran Allah.

I took a handphone photo but it was really bigger & closer than what you see here…. Sorry lah macam orang jakun, but honestly you don’t get this kind of encounter unless it was meant for you to see it.

My wife, kids and I stared at it for a whole 15 minutes and I took that chance to explain to my kids how rainbows were formed. They were thrilled!

But this sighting got me thinking of Allah’s other great creations and you can’t help but to reflect what you have done to appreciate them.

When I went back to office the next day I started staring at things our company have done and things we would like to get into. Somehow, there’s a bigger purpose to everything… I began to cut “fats”, trim the team and spend time realigning things. It was great to ponder and steer things to a greater good.

At home, this sighting encouraged me to explain to my kids every little thing or kejadian.

Do share with me your enlightening moment.
