Sugee Me

Since I can't keep buying premium chocolates to comfort me, sugee is my next best choice. Yep, I'm munching my sugee now.

Brob left on the 3rd day of chinese new year. I had to leave Boss's house early to send bro off at the airport. I guess boss is not too happy about it but well, my brob will only be back in April or May for a week. And now, I miss him already. Hope this little brother of mine will be fine.

The first 3 days of chinese new year was crazy but on the whole I had fun. So now its back to work again. The director for last night's shoot gave us angbao for good luck.

I should be sleeping soundly at this hour, 7.48am but somehow, my eyes are wide open. Even though my call time is at 6pm later today, I should still get some rest. Perhaps this is a good time to remind myself that peace begins when expectation ends. Not that I'm unhappy. Maybe I'm just too tired to even feel tired. Maybe it's the cough, yeah I'm still coughing and it has been more than 3 weeks.

I shall just get some sleep now. Good nite and good morning to you.

新年快乐 2009

Wishing everyone in good health, good mood and will be bless with true happiness and good luck in the year of ox. Happy Chinese New Year, 新年快乐， 万事如意，心想事成！

Let the fun and feast begin!! CHEERS!!

Rest

I get to take a 3 days break from work. I'm still coughing but I'm feeling much better. Yep I'm only gonna get better because all scenes that were needed to be shot in the freezing studio were all completed. Finally from today, we have started to move outdoor for shoot. It was nice at the beginning, away from the super air condition in the studio but it was no joke to shoot under the unforgiving sun either. With melted makeup on my face and sticky sweat on my body.... eeeeek.

Now I'm starting to miss the studio.

Wait

It's bravery or foolishness? It's blind faith or plain old hope? One of the most painful thing to do is wait. One waits because there's simply nothing one can do anymore. You can cry all you want. You may scream and even curse all you want. But when one can only do nothing but wait, just wait.

One Moment In Time

There maybe a few times I wished I could just have 2 more hours of sleep but the moment I got out of my bed there will always be an excitement imploding in my heart. I just couldn't wait to get into the studio and start working.

Looking back the years, the uncountable days I earned hard for my cup of coffee and packed rice from the studio. The super cold temperature in the studio are meant to keep the lights cool. Every drop of coffee as precious as gold keeps my heart pumping and every grain of rice as hard as stone keeps my body functioning.

I've seen a young plant outside the make up room that had grown into a tree over the years with roots deep into the ground yet now slowly withering. I've seen cats that fought rough for territories at the open parking lot and yet were replaced by younger cats each year.

Every studio has its different sets of footprints and every story presents itself the moment someone switches on the TV.

Comedy comes from suffering

VO stands for voice over. Looks like that's what I'll have to do to save all my scenes after the whole shoot because after dinner break today at the studio, I lost my voice.

The bill for my medical fees at Thomson Medical Center was $119.70 (after 10% discount for DBS/HSBC card holders). My antibiotics alone cost $49.2 for 6 tablets to be taken over 3 days. I knew I just have to see the doctor right after work at 10pm. I told the doctor that I urgently need my voice back. There's no way for me to take MC. So I requested him to give me the best and strongest medicine possible to speed up my recovery.

Today's shoot was fun during the first part until I lost my voice after dinner. I tried to "conserve" my voice till my last scene by whispering when I need to communicate. I was kind of "lucky" that my two other scenes needed only my facial expression. Still, I couldn't make the words out of my vocal chord when I was speaking my lines. ARRGH!! I felt so lousy that I couldn't even look into the eyes of my EP/Director. It wasn't even a difficult scene to begin with and I had to screw it up.

I will do better tomorrow.

Fallen ill

Falling sick on job really sucks. My soul had left me. I'm not paid to perform with my outer shell. I'm paid to bring life to a character. I shall summon my soul back with all the strength I'm left with now. I will pull through.

Work & Learn

It's a pity that one of my projects have to let me go due to my time constrain. But I guess it's better this way because at least I know the team do not have to delay any shoot for me anymore. Still I felt bad. Bad in the way that I had caused trouble for the team.

Anyway......

Yesterday I finally met HIM on set!! But for the wrong reasons.... I wasn't informed that the shoot was canceled today due to some miscommunication, so everyone was surprised to see me in the studio. But the good news is I'll be really doing a scene with HIM later today!! Can't wait to learn from HIM!!

Cheers!!

I'm actually gonna really act opposite HIM this time. Not that we haven't worked together before but never on a large scale and long term base like this. I can't tell you guys how excited I'm feeling right now. I was just telling HIM 2 months ago at someone's wedding dinner that how upset I was when I lost the chance to work with HIM. LOL

Anyway, I have been having fun on set. It's always great to meet new people and not forgetting those that had worked together on many other projects.

Hummm.... I wonder what will be HIS respond when he sees me tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, I do not have a crash on this person. He is someone whom I have lots and lots of respect for thats all.

Good nite and have a wonderful week everyone!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

Happy New Year everyone!!

I'm sorry for not being able to update my blog as often as before because I've been really busy with lots of personal things such as Xmas, new year, wedding and gatherings.

For the month of Jan, I may also not be able to update as much too because I've got lots of work in hand. And yes, I'm totally thankful for that. It's always good to be busy with work especially in times like this. This also means I'm one step closer to saving enough money to get back to acting school. Not to mention I'm also a step closer to get myself a 19inch LCD HD monitor.... :P

So what do I hope to accomplish this year? Seriously, I don't know. Not that I do not have life goals but my life lessons had taught me not to plan too much and just go with the flow and to live with appreciation to what I already have and never to feel lousy with what I don't have.

BUT then again, it's good to think about what I want at times so that when I'm lost along the way, I can remember what and why I have been working for.

My little wishes for 2009
1) Get my nieces more educational toys
2) Bring my mom to a cruise ship for holiday
3) Change my hairstyle
4) Eat all I want but will never get fat
5) EAT GOOD CHOCOLATE!!
6) Buy 30 pairs of shoes and 10 new handbags!!
