An Ad-hoc Notice!!

Currently, I’m working on my Final Project and seeking help from everyone I could get. I’m URGENTLY, (and desperately) looking for some talents to help me to act some simple roles (like as friends).

Anyone who interested to try acting, or like to know how filming is done, or need to build their portfolio, or willing to help as a friend, or as a fan, or as a supporter, or as a reader, etc.. (Please spread the message around too.)

Filming dates are between 09 - 13 Oct (not everyday). 

Please support me, and sms (97954518) me for more details. Thanks.

PS: Your kind help is greatly appreciated!

Juz a gentle reminder.. to all my frenz, fans, and readers!

Please tune your TV to Kids Central, tomorrow morning (20 Jul, Sun) at 11.30am. I am the cameraman for the production of the production. haha.. Blur?? Actually,  I am playing one of the CALEFARE (also commonly known as extra) in the kids drama, REM : The Next Generation.

In the show, the story goes about a TV production company wants to do a story about the 3 girls, REM on their alway surprising activities. Therefore, I am ‘engaged’ to be the cameraman for the production to film the REM action. However, it turns out to be a plot.  

Still blur?? Watch it and you’ll understand. haha..

Disclaimer: Depends you are lucky or not, you may or may not see my face on screen. All depends on the director and the cuts. Cheers!

And, if you wondering. I’m recently busy working on this REM project with Big Communications and struggling with my school projects. (PS: I’m still around.. )

Cya.. on TV!

News from LA, Hollywood screenwriters has end their 3-month strike. (more) The strike has ended, will there be more Hollywood film coming up?

However, for now, we have enough movies to watch in this month, Feb. Earlier last week, on Chinese New Year festive season. There are already 3 new movies on screen.

长江7号
The latest comedy from Stephen Chow, CJ7 is a fantasy tale featuring state of the art visual effects. A poor laborer father (Chow) and his young sons lives are turned upside down when a fascinating and strange new pet enters their world. Amid the resulting comic mayhem, they ultimately learn a poignant lesson about the true nature of family and the things money can’t buy.

功夫灌篮
Shi-Jie (Jay Chou) is a brilliant martial artist from the Kungfu School. The master of the school adopted him as a baby, when he was found abandoned in the woods. His remarkable kungfu skills stem from his innate intuition and ability to read his opponents moves. One day, he encounters a group of youths playing basketball and shows off how easy it is for him, with his martial arts training, to do a Slam Dunk. Watching him was Chen-Li (Eric Tsang), a shrewd businessman, who decides that he would exploit Shi-Jie to make some money. Under the guise of helping Shi-Jie to find his family, he recruits him to play varsity basketball at the local university.

老师嫁老大
Ah Long Pte Ltd is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. The movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment on the underworld. It depicts how a young lady, Li Hua (Fann Wong) tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and ‘loving’ triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader (Richard Low) who retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Li Hua tired of her mother’s constant nagging to get married, she finally relented and proposed to Mr Fang (Mark Lee), an effeminate dance instructor cum image stylist. Surprised to many and even herself, Mr Fang accepted the proposal. The unusual union, despite the misfits, soon blossom into love.

None of it, I have watched yet. And on this Valentine’s Day, there are 3 more new movie coming on screen.

Juno
Meet Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) a confidently frank teenage girl who calls the shots with a nonchalant cool and an effortless attitude as she journeys through an emotional nine-month adventure into adulthood. Quick witted and distinctively unique, Juno walks Dancing Elk High’s halls to her own tune - preferably anything by The Stooges - but underneath her tough no nonsense exterior is just a teenage girl trying to figure it all out.

While most girls at Dancing Elk are updating their MySpace page or shopping at the mall, Juno is a whip-smart Minnesota teen living by her own rules. A typically boring afternoon becomes anything but when Juno decides to have sex with the charmingly unassuming Bleeker (Michael Cera). Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she and best friend Leah (Olivia Thirlby) hatch a plan to find Junos unborn baby the perfect set of parents courtesy of the local Penny Saver. They set their sights on Mark and Vanessa Loring (Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner), an affluent suburban couple who are longing to adopt their first child. Luckily, Juno has the support of her dad and stepmother (J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney). After the initial shock that their daughter has been sexually active with the unlikely virile Bleeker, the family bands together to help Juno. Dad Mac accompanies Juno to size up the prospective adoptive parents to make sure they are not a couple of wing nuts while stepmother Bren provides emotional support as Juno fights the prejudices of underage pregnancy. As Juno moves closer and closer to her due date, the veneer of Mark and Vanessas idyllic life starts to show signs of cracking. While fall becomes winter and winter turns to spring, Junos physical changes mirror her personal growth. With a fearless intellect far removed from the usual teen angst, Juno conquers her problems head-on, displaying a youthful exuberance both smart and unexpected.

P.S. I Love You
Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart, and married to the love of her lifea passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerrys life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So its a good thing he planned ahead - by leaving her a list of tasks revealed in 10 monthly messages that are intended to ease her out of grief and transition her to a new life.

Jumper
Doug Liman (MR. AND MRS. SMITH) directs this adaptation of Steven Gould’s novels about people called “jumpers” who can transport themselves through space and time.

I had my 1st movie for year 2008 and an enjoyable time with my ‘wife’, A.

The Warlord (投名状)

In the year 1850, the suffering of the 430 million Chinese people under the corrupt rule of the Qing dynasty set the stage for the Taiping Rebellion. During the chaos of the decade long civil war, 50 million people died from either hunger or battle.

In the fall of 1870, General Pang (starring Jet Li) stands high atop the city walls fully attired in governor’s robes. Peering down upon the site of his inauguration, he is filled with dreams and ambition. Pang has taken a path of no return; had he chosen differently, he might have been one of the heroes to later overthrow the corrupt Qing imperial regime and establish a new China. He could have changed the course of history…

…But two bandits and a woman have changed the course of his life - helping him achieve his goal, but ultimately causing his demise. The two bandits are his sworn blood brothers: Zhao Er-Hu (starring Andy Lau) and Jiang Wu-Yang (starring by Takeshi Kaneshiro). The woman who comes between them is Zhao’s wife Lian (starring by Xu Jinglei)…

The story, not bad. Talking about brotherhood, betraying, setting up for fame. The shoot is clear, and u really can see ‘real’ legs and head been ’cut off’. The ending is quite sad, but good for a thinkers. But is just kinda long, and abit draggy in the middle where they talk about military strategy.

Anyway, worth the watch.

Next to go, National Treasure: Book of Secrets. A MUST watch, cos I like the 1st story of National Treasure.

你们期待已久的续集这就‘写’着。那我这美食判官就事不宜迟，不啰嗦了，长话短说。。。 

从Race Course Road 一直向东北吃到 Upper Serangoon. 从午到晚一整天除了吃，还是吃。从中餐吃到西餐到喝酒。 

现在，问题不在于那道食物好吃还是不好吃，而是值得还是不值得我们/他人去排队等吃这道菜肴。等 = WAIT, 大约20-30分钟或以上。所以，问题是值得还是不值得？ 

可是，我得说我吃的那三道菜肴，道道都是美味佳肴。除了，那牛排。因为宗教信仰，我不吃牛肉。可是，对我而言那牛看起来排毫不起眼，有点普普通通又带点血淋淋的样子。反正，我的鸡排很嫩。是好吃的lor. 

当天我们品尝的每道佳肴，可说是很非常特别，很好吃。值得！

OMG!! TMD! 写着写着，想着想着，口水开始流了，又想再去喝酒了。 

不只有上镜的机会，还能有道道美食可尝，全都是托亚洲超自然侦探协会(API）创办人吴安龙 Charles 的福。

Charles: Other than more exciting, interesting and educating tours and/or investigations, you get filming chance with media. JOIN API NOW!

所以，我又会出现在电视里。。哈哈。。 敬请期待10月03日（星期三）晚上8点，新传媒电视八频道隆重上映。
