You become what you believe most of the time.

Know exactly what you want in every area of your life.

Be the builder and creator of your dreams.

Overcome the obstacles between you and your goals.

Never let others stop you from what you believe you will become.

Be optimistic.

You will then generate a field of energy that attract people, resources, and ideas in your life to help you achieve your goals.

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!

There is inside you
all of the potential
to be whatever you want to be,
all of the energy
to do whatever you want to do.

Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.

And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.

One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person you dreamed of,
doing what you wanted to do,
simply because you had the courage
to believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.

(Donna Levine)

How much do 10 minutes mean to you?

What can we do in 10 minutes?

Look through photos or comments on Facebook. For a quick shower. Barely enough time for a meal.

10 minutes just seemed too little to do something constructive in our daily lives.

Here is an interesting short film that makes us revalue the significance of time, 10 minutes.

Truly heartbreaking and beautiful.

After watching “10minutes”, it makes me want to produce a short film as well.

Maybe it’s time to source for inspirations for my next short film.

I would like to produce a short film about Singapore society.

Feel free to drop me comments if you have any suggestions.

Again, here is my first short film if you haven’t watch it yet.

最近我突然多了许多‘表弟’和‘表妹’，到那里都有人叫我‘表哥’。好几次是一些阿姨在街上看到我，然后好自然的叫我‘表哥’，我一时不懂的怎么反应，所以也好自然的叫她们‘表妹’。哈哈。现在想起来还觉得那些画面好好笑。

《我们》播出后，我收到很多朋友的鼓励，好评和有建设性评语。谢谢你们！希望你们会继续看下去，跟着故事的发展和德华的人物发展，然后继续给我你们珍贵的评语，好吗？谢谢！

我最近在忙着拍新剧《五福到》。 戏里我饰演“贝多芬”，是一个跟‘德华表哥’完全不像的人物。从服装到人物性格没一点像。哦，我在戏里是长头发的（是假发啦）！很不习惯又有‘留’长发的感觉。以后才跟你们分享更多关于贝多芬和《五福到》的东西好吗。

今晚是‘德华’的出场。记得收看今晚第8坡道，9点的《当我们同在一起》！

因为现在没有带相机去片场的习惯了，所以也没有什么照片和你们分享。只好从马来西亚的永乐的facebook网页取下一些照片。（p.s. 谢谢了,勇乐）

If you want a bourgeois existence, you shouldn’t be an actor. You’re in the wrong profession. (Uta Hagen)

As I’m doing my research for my theater studies exam on Friday, I gave across the quote above. This quote might sound simple or shallow at first glance, re-read it again and you could discover more. When I re-read the quote, I realised that it actually makes a lot more sense than it actually seemed.

Anyway, I found some interesting videos about realism acting that you might be interested in:

Here’s one interesting video, which features an ‘imposer’ of the Master, Constantin Stanislavski:
