Nick Choo - Writer / Author / Cartoonist 的興趣
|
| 一般 | Among other things - writing. Short stories, novel-length narratives, articles, reviews, plays. Things that make you laugh, or ponder, or cry, or shudder. In a good way.
Writing songs that will hopefully make people smile or make them laugh or make them go "that was beautiful" with a tear in their eye. Or just a song that stick in people's heads and make them go stark raving bonkers, shrieking, "Make the music stop! Make the music stop!"
Playing the piano. Singing. Or watching someone else, somebody spectacular (you're out there, somewhere), sing.
Contemporary musical theatre.
Animals. Adopt a puppy today!
Making jokes at the supermarket checkout so that the cashier either laughs along or looks uncomfortable. Dancing in the middle of a public place (and looking like Drew Carey while I do it).
Triple-shot low-fat venti iced caramel macchiatos from Starbucks. The expressions on people's faces when I order a triple-shot low-fat venti iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks.

Music favourites include that genre of music that's pop-rock (or prock, as I call it) - the likes of Lifehouse, Matchbox 20, Jars of Clay, Third Eye Blind, Snow Patrol. Sydney's Thirsty Merc rocks!!!!
I'm also a raving fanatic of contemporary musicals (helllooo Rent! Wicked! Aida!). Favourite composer of the moment in this genre: Jason Robert Brown: Parade, Songs for a New World, The Last Five Years. Mmmm.
I dabble in some Christian contemporary, jazz and classical.
| | 電影 | The Emperor's New Groove always cracks me up. Bewaareee the grooooveee...
| | 電視 | Sitcoms! Sitcoms! Sitcoms! How I Met Your Mother! Ugly Betty! My Name Is Earl! Will & Grace! The New Adventures of Old Christine!
I'm such a geek. :P
Okay, some sci-fi/fantasy (Stargate, anyone? Heroes!) and scary(?) stuff (Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer). Dramas? Brothers & Sisters. Jericho. And more - much, much more. Moving on...!
| | 書籍 | I love to read! Best book I've read in 2006? The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Favourite authors include Dean Koontz, James Herbert, John Saul, Mo Hayder, Deborah Robertson, Sophie Kinsella and Nicholas Sparks, among many others!
| | 偶像 | People who love music, who love to write, and who love to laugh and smile!
Jesus.
People who are courteous to others, especially those who serve them food (how you treat your waiter/waitress says a lot about you!).
Animal lovers!
And people who laugh at my lame jokes behind the checkout counter.

Get Spooked!
Night Terrors Marshall Cavendish (Malaysia), April 2007;

 Blurb:
Night terrors (noun): anxiety attacks with extreme panic, often accompanied by screaming, sweating, flailing and fast breathing, that usually occur within a few hours after going to bed. A young boy channels the spirit of his dead grandmother in his sleep; a documentary on bedtime habits yield frightening fruit; a runaway finds herself with unexpected company in a lonely motel room; an overnight stay in a hotel attracts unwelcome visitors. Find out what horrors lurk in Freaky Nick's second collection of tales to keep you wide awake all night!
Contents:
Room For Two - Katherine wakes up in the middle of the night to find someone lying in bed next to her. Is it her cruel, contemptutous boyfriend Luke, or someone - something - more sinister...?
Dead and Board - Inspired by actual events, two stewardesses check into a hotel room to find themselves with uninvited, and terrifying, company...
Dreamscape - When Justin agrees to help his friend Brett with a video documentary on sleeping habits, he discovers he's being visited in the middle of the night by some very frightening visitors who seem to be giving him chilling nightmares...

Sundown - When Dave, Cam, Janelle and Rachel are stranded in the middle of nowhere following a camping trip, they seek shelter from a mysterious lodge, only to be warned of a deadly curse: do not bleed after sundown!
Shade - Debra finds the people around her dying in horrific, violent ways. Who, or what, is killing these innocent bystanders... and what does it have to do with the frightening old woman who lurks on the street corner...?
Maternal Instinct - Steven and Sam wake up in the middle of the night to find their little brother channelling the spirit of their dead grandmother - and a darker, more malevolent entity that accompanies her...
And check out

Trippers
(Click on title for ordering info)Writers Club Press (USA), December 2001;
ISBN: 0595295216 Blurb:
It seemed like such a simple plan: 13 teenagers with no adult supervision, to spend a weekend in a bungalow up on a hill.
But their weekend of fun and excitement quickly turns to one of mystery and madness when bizarre occurrences begin to take place.
Soon, it is clear that there is something very wrong with the House on the Hill ... and the teenagers realise that it is the vacation of their lives - as they wind up fighting to survive.
Trippers is a dark parody of haunted house novels, garnished with macabre humour and served with generous helpings of horror.
Last but not least, I'm also a cartoonist. My work has been published in Malaysian newspaper theSun (2000-2002), and new cartoons are featured on The Nut Graph, a Malaysian news analyses and opinion website.
