Melbourne Blues

Hi everyone!

you know how it is that everyone comes back from holidays feeling refreshed and happy and wanting to never come back home again?

Well I just came back from melbourne and it was a horrific vacation...

A series of distressing and unhappy incidents happened that made it so and I have come to appreciate the fine familiarity of home and being amongst my own countrymen as well as being in a country that welcomes people of all kinds & all races.

In the beginning, I had heard so much about Melb from Australian Chinese friends who are currently working here and from my cousin who has migrated there. This piqued my curiosity about the city that was voted one of the most livable cities in the world, and egged on by the travel bug in me, I decided to go there for 11 days right after filming LOVE BLOSSOMS...

Now the 1st wave of unpleasant events was awaiting to happen whilst I was extremely excited about my 1st trip to Australia. Though I have always been terribly afraid of the cold and it was winter, ranging from 4'C to 14'c, in Melb, these did nothing to put out my growing fire and thirst to see the metropolitan city and start my exploration.

!st of all, I took the Quantas airline and being Australian owned, naturally many Australians take it and the crew on board were Austalian Caucasians too. Meals were served promtly and I was pleasantly surprised (since I am quite the glutton) that they kept stuffing us with hi-carbo food thru-out the 5 hr flight on transit at Sydney airport. Then I realised it was because we all have to 'store' reserves (think: camel) of hi energy burning food so that we'd function in the wintry city better. So i ate and ate. However, I had a distinct feeling that this steward and stewardess didnt take to me(i was about the only non-caucasian there). They weren't rude or anything, jus, unfriendly and non smiling.

I was seated at the emergency exit area and this being my 1st time on board that airline, I started daydreaming about Melb the moment I placed my butt on the seat. This particular air stewardess came over and flashed a 'smile' at me and said i had to place my hand luggage in the storage area above the seat. I complied, thinking it could be differences in airlines' modus operandi that other airlines allow passengers to put hand luggage beneath the seats, to which she gave a prompt no before i even finished my query to whether could do that.

To my surprise, as I stood up to place the luggage on the overhead storage area, she walked past the other red-haired lady in the same row on the other side, without giving her the 'reminder' she gave me, even though the passenger very obviously had her bag down beside her feet on the floor.

I told myself, dun be too sensitive, she could've missed out on that other lady during her round of checks before take-off...

However, she came back again not long after, getting the my attention and that of the 2 gentlemen seated in front. She'd like to make sure we understood the list of safety instructions for the emergency exit they'd placed on our seat. The blur me was like, oops, must read ah? She gave me a dirty look, raised her tone a few decibels higher (as if announcing to the entire cabin) and said,'oh, she hasn't even read it!! (looks at the men in front n smiles) I'll be back later then.'

My ears turned beetroot at her sarcastic undertones, which brought a few glances from the passengers from the middle row, and I quickly buried my face into the few lines of safety instructions, wanting to finish it quickly lest I hinder her from her other important duties again. =(

Humiliating, u think?
There's more to come man...

(to be continued)

吓我一跳！

今天一大早，在化妆室化妆时，文芳突然跑到我面前喊了一声，”偷情成功！“！

真是吓了我一跳，还以为发生了什么事。。。

原来，她是指那晚我和铭顺拍的戏啦！！！ *phew!!*

鼻涕淋淋 拍吻戏

天啊！ 那不是一个很美的画面吧？！ 哈哈。。

其实我想说的是， 前晚拍《球》的一场激情戏的时候， 因为感冒所以拍这场戏时， 鼻涕不由自主的往下流。。。 害得我担心接吻戏的动作之外， 还得频频向助导拿tissue... 天啊，那晚也很担心会把感冒传染给其他的工作人员， 或是得被我‘吻’的那位男同事。。。
so paisei okayyyy!!!!!

actually it's very embarrassing to film this kinda scenes and it always gives me a lot of stress... It's hard to kiss someone u dun really know, some more, u have to discard all inhibitions and take the initiative, as specified by the script...

the funnie thing was, one of the magazines brought along as prop for the room, has the gf of my fellow actor on its cover. When he saw that, he mockingly did a double-take and squirmed, "uh oh 惨了，惨了！“ which made all of us laugh...

that wasnt the only funnie thing cos coincidentally, that night, it was disclosed in the chinese tabloids that he had proposed to his famed gf and gotten the nod!! *congratulations man!!*

Hehe... now, can you guess who my fellow actor is? :D

〈球爱大战〉

昨天拍了一场一部关于排球的戏，让我回想起若干年前， 我为什么回在中学时期参加排球活动， 并且进入了校队。。。

其实，知道公司又开拍一部关于排球的戏， 心里是蛮期待的。因为当年的第一部〈－排球？－巅峰〉 （请原谅我，我忘了它的剧名）而改变了我的人生。。。 ＝）

不知道这新一部戏，会有什么惊喜？

〈球〉の主要演员有， jesseca, joanne, jade, dawn 还有铭顺， 是一部女人の戏。 仔细想想，所有女演员都是高头大马的。 哈哈， 更让人兴奋的应该是众女演员穿着 bikini 在沙滩 frolicking 的那几场戏吧！！ 嘿嘿， those gals really put in effort to slim and tone up okay! And i touched, their tummy area la, REALLY flat ah!! But the poor things have to keep watching their diet these 3 mths, and i saw with my own eyes how Jesseca doesnt eat much hi-carbo foods and avoids oily stuff too.. Poor babes..

Aaaah, the price of looking good!! =P

Anyways, that scene i filmed the other day was with Jesseca and Christopher and it brought memories of the previous show we 3 did together the last time, 〈蓝色仙人掌〉。

So fast, been a couple of years in the blink of an eye :)

Wonder when we can act together again in the same drama like this?

Today's breakfast!

Had an urge to mix some foods up and create a healthy yet delicious meal for myself when i woke up today... So i made fruity oatmeal drizzled with honey !

it was simple and easy to make :)
and the colours surely brightened up my day!

Passionfruit and Orange Oatmeal

2007 Christmas Dress Up

It was a themed party at a friend's and this is the 1st time i attended such a party!
I was so excited and went to buy a pinafore cos it was kinda like my fantasy to wear one since i was from a co-ed school all the way...
School gal outfit, i like it!! :)

Style Wedding Bash 2008 April

Just last Sunday, I was privileged to go be one of the 4 celebrities models for Style's wedding bash... Though it was one of the 4 or 5 times i donned on a wedding dress, it was still very memorable because of the few seconds of romantic, glamourous bride you get to be on the catwalk stage...

Imagine, swishing the long trails of the wedding gown's train, beaming with happiness as if you are the bride... LOVELY!!! :)

Below are some pics of the show, backstage :)






























So who's the REAL bride???!! ;p hahaha
