已经好久没上自己的部落格了。真是抱歉！

因为前几个星期我都在‘啃书’，从早到晚都在学校或公共图书馆里准备考试。

因为我在《当我们同在一起》里的拍摄只在考试的前一个星期才‘杀青’，所以这次准备考试的时间特别短。而且再加上因为得去马来西亚拍戏而缺了大楷一个月的课，所以这两个星期不断地拼命读。也可能因为太拼命而生了个小病，但是不用担心因为我已经复原了和考试也只剩下一门。

好啦，不说学校的事了。说一些你们比较有兴趣的 － 《当我们同在一起》。

终于《我们》将会在明晚开播了！我非常的期待《我们》的最后成果，因为我相信这是个扣人心悬的戏。每次收工后，我回公司后都会花些时间去看当天拍的东西。当我在雕自己的演技时，我都会被那些画面给吸引的。我被吸引的是画面呈现的一种‘味道’。超赞的拍摄方式，再加上特别有效果的景，道具，发型，服装等等；制造了一种‘味道’，复古中却带了一种新鲜感。

你一定要看ok！看的时候也要注意‘林德华’ok! 哈哈！希望你们会喜欢《我们》！

Finally the overseas filming phase for “Together” has arrived. I’m not too sure what to expect but I’m definitely looking forward for this new experience.

Time check. 2.06am.

I’m just done packing for my first trip (out of 4 trips) for filming at Malacca. I’m just bringing a duffel bag since it’s only a 3days work trip but you will be amazed by the range of stuff it contains. I’ve got my basic stuff like toiletries and clothes, and of course all my work stuff like scripts, fan etc.  In addition, I’m bringing a textbook, lectures notes and my laptop to prepare for my school midterm tests next Monday. Are you amazed by the capacity of my bag? You will be more amazed how heavy it is. IT’S REALLY HEAVY!

Anyway, this post is kinda random because I just wanted to kinda say hello before I leave for the trip. Nothing much interesting to update you guys. Hmm.. Let me think.. Alright, maybe I should just share a little about a production I am involved which is recently launched. Some of you might already know it. It’s a short film, “Little Note” by Royston Tan. I’ll talk more about it when I’m back I promise. For now, you could actually visit http://littlenote.sg/ to learn more about it.

Time check. 2.18am.

It’s just 4 hours before I’ve to be up for my departure to across the border. I better get some sleep. Cheers!

Hi all, it has been a long while since I last blogged. My apologies for the lack of updates.

Ever since I returned from my short getaway to Bangkok, I’ve been working and schooling non-stop.

This is not unexpected because I foresaw that this will be a hectic period since the beginning of this academic semester. (I was spot-on!)

How did I foreshadow this? It’s not too hard to predict because…

I registered for 6 modules instead of the usual 5 modules (i.e. I’m overloading for this academic semester). If everything goes well, I will cover the semester I missed during Star Search and graduate together with my peers. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Concurrently, I’m involved in a Channel 8 drama “Together”, playing as a cop who eventually ended up committing crimes because of his family and love. Also, I’ll be playing as Jeanette Aw’s cousin and yes, I’ll be battling with Dai Yang Tian for her (only in the show!). This drama will require me for filming at Malaysia quite a bit, therefore I’ll be missing about 3 weeks of classes. No worries, I’ve made arrangement for friends to help me voice-record lectures during the 3 weeks, so I could keep up with class when I’m back. *keeping my fingers crossed again*

Insofar, this will be the toughest challenge of my 2years in my acting career. I’m worried, yet I’m also equally excited of the outcomes of both my studies and the drama. I believe if I manage my time well and stay focus, I will conquer this challenge and achieve rewarding results. And in the process, I believe I’ll discover new qualities about myself and I’ll strengthen myself to be a stronger character. (Wow. Very positive huh? Haha. Well. This is the only way I can unfailingly propel myself  forward during this tough course of time.) *keeping my fingers crossed again and again*

p.s. I’m officially moved to this blog!

亲爱的网友们：

之前我答应你们我会在部落格上post我在课堂上的专题作业 《起点。中站。终点》。

但是我的同学还没把影片upload在youtube，我就已经前往曼谷度假了，所以让你们久等了。真不好意思啦。哈哈。

从想构思到筹备工作，到拍摄直到剪接，我和我的队友大概只有一个月的时间完成《起点。中站。终点》。老实说，时间很紧迫，而且同时要准备考试和为我在《当我们同在一起》的角色做筹备工作，我之前压力真的是很大。但是这小小的难关是不会考倒我这个打不死的蟑螂的！

我是蛮满意《起点。中站。终点》的最后成果啦，不过如果有多一些时间的话，我觉得《起点。中站。终点》会更好。如果我得给自己打分，我只会给我自己70分吧，因为我觉得我还有很大的进步空间。

说得到，就要做到。所以接下来你将会见证我首次当导演的成果！希望你会喜欢！

Please click here to watch《起点。中站。终点。》

注意：这是一部不容易了解的短片。它的故事是简单，但呈现方式是复杂和不直接的。如果看了之后不了解，请多看几次！如果还是不了解的话，请你们在这部落格上讨论吧。

My first experience as a director!

This film is a school assignment that I was previously busy with. ‘Rail Love’ is a short that’s heavily inspired by Wong Kar Wai, one of my favorite film artists. The main theme of the film is to remind us human beings not to be fickle about love for things around us.

(Spoiler alert: The protagonist of the film is not human but a necklace, and the film is mainly shot from the point of view of the necklace.)

I will try to post the video.

p.s. Welcome to my new blog!
