Hong Kong

My last post did elicit some form of response from my readers so I shall clear the air up. Like some movie trailer, it was meant to stir up some controversy. :)

Anyway, this was my character in a short film project for a group of students at Ngee Ann poly. My very first film! The group was given a short dialogue which they needed to expand on and turn into a short film. So, my character was that of a 30 year old lecturer (which I absolutely don't look like), who has an affair with his student and impregnates her. Desperate to keep the affair under wraps, he tries to avoid her in school but finds out that she's pregnant in the female toilet. It ends with the student breaking up the relationship while the lecturer stands there, shocked, only to be greeted by another female entering the toilet. I'm too lazy to explain the later parts but if you're nice enough, I'll let you watch it once I get my hands on the finished product. ;) By the way, Liz Chay went something like "the role suits you perfectly!" when I told her about it. -____-"""

It was a great experience though I had my doubts about the entire thing, having heard scary stories from dear Chrystal. Most of the crew were late to begin with and they didn't even bother with make-up so I wound up looking like, ah well, myself. The first half of the day was a little boring, since it only involved the female lead. Things got interesting after lunch though. The scene was set in the female toilet, and later in a cubicle. We spent the next half of the day in the female toilet - for once, it didn't few wrong to go in one. Haha (that sounds wrong). A quarter of that was spent squashed in a single cubicle, three of us - camerawoman, female lead and I in an intense scene. Really cool stuff. We had problems at times though - the automatic toilet bowl kept flushing whenever the camerawoman moved resulting in a few NG takes - I named the place "flushing meadows".

I learnt quite a bit from the whole experience. Didn't know filming required the cast to rehash the scenes so many times to film from the different perspectives; the importance of that clipboard which actually is a backup for records of the recording timings on the tape; the fun of it all and getting to meet people who are future directors.

Ah yes, the group consisted of Jonathan - who is Zhu Hou Ren's son (re: The Unbeatables I); Sophia, a spunky English-Chinese mix who views Islam and Christianity as largely similar; Kimberly, from Bedok Tampines Bethesda who dabbles with musicals and other stuff; an emo guy (can't remember his name) who's really an emo; and a girl (neither can I remember hers), who is absolutely against prosperity gospel (and I stand by her on this one) who said "God is not our maid" that is now etched in my heart. Fantastic people. I love film and drama - ah well...

So the Christmas drama is over, my passport is filled up after going to Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen and back, and Christmas is tomorrow. Malaysia is next - my third holiday this year including Thailand in Nov. I need to find a job. I need to start mugging. I could SO get used to this life.

No. I will not turn into a slob. I need a job but no more calling up 500 people in 3 days and pasting 500 envelopes. No. No. No.

Confessions of a Broken Man

I have something to confess.

I had an affair with a student of mine. Now she's pregnant. It was meant to be a secret - if not , why then call it an affair? It was meant to be kept underground, the thrill manefesting itself in the process, of acting as non-chalantly as possible in the presence of the other in school. Yet the moment we were safely tucked into the arms of privacy...

What am I to do now?

Still busy

Spent the last 3 days most fruitfully and i have a ton of things to say.

Unfortunately, having spent all my energy in the past 3 days, I will blog tomorrow.

My eyebags need support.

Busy Busy Busy

Busy, Busy, Busy Week,
I feel like a Buzzing Busy Bee.

Sister's back, mommy's home,
