Minding Your Ps and Qs Cs
Got a email recently asking me for references of people who have gave up their cushy 9-5 jobs to be a fim-maker. Apparently, a feature on this topic is set to debut soon in the newspapers. This coming after a recent exposé on lawyers turning to the stage, would seem to fuel the notion that it is once again hip to sacrifice a few Cs for the P.
I believe that there are two types of people in this world; one that works just for the sake of a living and the other that will live for the work. Of course, there are those who do nothing for a living. These, in my books, are technically not people. They belong to two entirely different categories, namely the "No-lifers" and/or the "Divinely Favoured".
In my brief span of life, I have observed the following :-
i) 80% of the people I know just work for a living. They have no interest in their work whatsoever, except perhaps the bonus or the cute opposite sex.
ii) Out of this 80%, about 90% of them don't know what they really enjoy doing, so if the job pays well, they will make do for the time being until they discover what they really want. And as work pressure mounts up, they will just drown their sorrows in the material items they can buy with their money. And before they know it, the opportunity cost of leaving whatever they are doing to whatever they should be doing in the first place becomes too steep. And so they end up make doing forever.
The other 10% knows what they want to do, but are scared shitless to do it or have considered the opportunity cost to be too high.
iii) 20% of the people I know live for the work.
It is beginning to feel like more and more S'poreans are living for their dreams. And I personally think it is a good thing.
When I visit some ex-colleagues a few years ago in New York, they brought me around and introduce me like this to their ang moh friends :
"This is Vincent, he used to be one of us, but he's now an actor."
There were no raised eyebrows, and there were no questioning looks. (And, of course, there were no autograph request also) This was not quite the reaction I expected. (Refering to the eyebrows and questioning looks, not autograph requests :P)
"Its like that wan lah. Folks here live for their dreams and passion all the time, its a way of life," explained my friends.
Back in the days when there was no casino that is going to be here, many people would have asked me to go and have my head examined. (Which I actually did and found out that working for a living had actually helped me look the part for Gandalf the GREY)
These days, all you hear every other day are words like entreprenuership, creativity (and Creative), innovation, casino etc etc. To think that after decades of moulding the people to be conformists, the powers that be are actually daring people to be different.
In fact, they wanted to create this naturenal atmosphere of creativity and spontaneity so much, they were not afraid to show that they were obviously clueless on how to go about doing it. You can't really blame them, its like the blind leading the blind as they used to be conformists too. But having said that, one would feel that the creme de la creme should have known better than to adopt a "whats good for the Gee (geese) must be good for the gender (gander)" approach.
I agree with what you are trying to do, but I certainly don't agree with the way you are doing it. Already I feel that right now we are too influenced by foreign culture, and too ignorant of our own. I fear we would lose ourselves before we even find ourselves.
And if that happens, then at the end of the day, will we truely be different? Or have we just conformed to another culture?
Would you sacrifice a few Cs for the P?

Back to the acting bored
I should be used to this by now. But I'm not. After being in the thick of things a few weeks ago, things are beginning to thin out again. And I am starting to feel depressed again ... I guess I probably didn't help my own cause by turning down two roles in the space of three days.
I always feel paranoid when I turn down crappy roles. I feel like they are going to blacklist me or something. Its like I can hear them saying "KNN you dare reject me!?! You'll never work in this town again, farker."
Was I tactful when I turn them down? I don't know. I just tell them that I am not interested in the role. Is that tactful enough? My last director for the dramatised reading certainly doesn't think so. He says I should have lied and say I was busy or something. Never tell them you are not interested, he says.
So I tried to do a little damage control this time round on the first call. But she called my bluff.
"You not interested ah?" She pressed.
"Yah, errm, I mean there is that plus I really can't make it for two of the days (lie)."
Nah, I didn't think she bought it either. So when I recieve another call two days later, I just said I wasn't interested. I think I can hear those voices crying "Crucify him!" again.
In times like these I admire my friend Serena, who would just do any role they give her. There was one time she was asked to be a body double for another actress, which means you'll only get to see her body and backview on screen.
"Why are you doing this?!!" I asked.
"I never do before leh, quite fun wat!" She chirpily replied.
Win liow lor, like that. But I know I can never be like that. The last time I did a crappy role, I was on the verge of killing the director for wasting my time. Now,if that happened, they will burn me at the stake for sure one. No need to be paranoid about it.
Doodle on my bored!

WTB A Clue
Last week I realised that my blog don't have a RSS feed. And according to Caleb, I should get one. So I went to download ListGarden and has spent the better part of two nights trying to figure out how to work the program.
I have now officially given up on it.
Basically, when I launch the application in a browser window, it just shows me a blank window that seems to be forever in a state of loading. At first I thought it was because of a blocked port and I went to open the port number in my router. Still no go. I also even tried IE (gasp) and still no go. The program is distributed free and there is no tech support. If any of you knows how to use the program and can help, do drop me a line.
Muchos gracias

Sporadic
Cumulonimbus Of The Pimpled Mind
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot?
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind,
Each prayer accepted and each wish resigned.
Alexander Pope
Just watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" which got its title from the above quote. I finally decided to make some time and clear my ever-growing pile of DVDs that I have bought but not yet watched.
Sometimes, I think I should stop buying DVDs and rent them instead. Coz when you buy them, you kinda take the DVD for granted and lets face it, you'd know that DVD is not gonna go anywhere. So you'll always figure what the heck, I'll watch it some other day. But when you rent them, you know you gonna have to return it soon, and that will push you to push the "play" button.
Anyway,for those who haven't watched it, the movie is about this guy who just broke up with his gal and found out that the gal went to have memories of him erased. Feeling miffed, he too decided to erase his own memories of her. Its all fine and dandy when they erase the bad memories of their relationships but when it comes to the tender sweet ones, he starts to have second thoughts. But can he stop them before he completely forgets her?
Spoiler Alert! Don't read further if you haven't watched the movie and want to watch it!
I like the way the movie portrays the fact that you can't solve relationship problems just by forgetting all the things that ever happened. And that if you really like someone, even if you erase memories of ever being with that person, you will still end up being attracted to the person the next time you meet.
Oh, and that the subconscious mind is a powerful thang indeed.
I also liked the way the movie opens, its a very cool way whereby the opening credits only starts to roll in when the story begins proper, which suits the mood of the movie to a T. I think Jim Carey puts on a good performance in what I consider to be really his first dramatic role. But I think Kate Winslett really stole the show; and its hard not to when they gave you cool lines like :
"Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm gonna make'em alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours."
Final thoughts : I agree with what the movie advocates; I will rather keep my bitter memories, have the sporadic dark clouds when these memories do surface, instead of basking in the eternal sunshine of lost memories.
How about joo?

Exit, Stage... Where arh?
I had my first taste of professional theatre last Saturday nite. You'd know it was not a grand affair, coz if it was, I would have practically beg everyone (yes, including you here) to come watch.
Although it was a small thing by professional theatre standards, it was nevertheless still a glimpse into professional theatre for me. Was it any different from the non professional theatre that I have done before? I would say not really. I guess thats because the non professional theatre that I have done before has always been quite professionally done, if I do say so myself. :P
By now you would have known that I did a dramatised reading. For those not in the know, a dramatised reading is usually done to let a critical audience thresh out the play, to see if it could be improved upon. After the reading, the playwright will have an open discussion with the audience over the good and bad points of the script.
The one I did was called "Made in China" and I played a very minor role; the father of the lead character which was supposed to be a 17 year old poly girl. Yes, it is a stretch for me to be playing a chracter that old. :P
Getting into theatre mode after a long hiatus (a year plus from my last theatrical performance) I found my keng(acting) skills quite rusty. Spoilt by microphones in films, I actually had difficulty projecting my voice once again. And during our two only rehearsals, I realised I forgot about a few other things too.
Like not walking in front of another character when he is talking. Like keeping my "energy" throughout the play. And no, I did not forget where to exit, depsite the title of this entry. :P
Things that were once like second nature to me I had to re-learn again. The good news is, all these stuff came back to me quickly. And by the end of the actual performance, I think I can safely say I did not appear to be "green" to my peers after all.
In fact, some of them actually thought that I did rather well, despite their initial misgivings. I think they are too kind. I mean, I think I used to be better. And I know I can be even better. So if you like what you see now, you ain't see nothing yet. *grin*
At the end of the day, what was important was the feeling of acceptance I get from my peers. It reminded me of my angsty younger days, where everyone in drama club treated me like an alien initially. But when they saw that all I really want was to act and could act, most of them warmed up to me. Of course, there will always be those who would still treat you like an alien, no matter what. Well, you can't please everybody, you know.
And oh yes, I fell in love with the stage. Again.
Coming up next, my first love!

O.o
Nursing an eye infection today. It is itchy, it is painful, and it is making me look like this : O.o all the time.
Somemore the quack doctor told me it will take about 7 days to heal. KNN. O.o
Because of this, I didn't get to sleep properly last night as my more rapid R.E.M. will trigger off the pain. O.o
What was I dreaming? I vaguely remember it was something sweet, but I forgotten all about it after the pain subsided. O.o
If not for this condition, today's entry will be about my pensive foray into professional theatre last Saturday nite. O.o
O.o will have to do for now.

Acttitude
Once upon a time which was a few days ago, there were three older actors.
Act I
Actor B is an old retiree. He appears mostly harmless, but underneath that docile facade hides a conniving heart. For B belongs to that special breed of actors who will attempt to steal your role at any costs.
I first met this kind of actor when I was starting out. I was changing in the dressing room when I overheard a conversation between a production assistant and another actor.
PA : Hi! Long time no see!
A**hole : Hi!
PA : So what role are you doing?
A**hole : Oh, I'm doing Role A.
Wait a minute, I'm supposed to be doing Role A. WTF is this guy talking about?! So I went out and made my presence known to the two conspirators.
PA : Ah! You must be doing Role B!
Nope, I am doing Role A. See, this is the script they faxed to me and they circled "Role A" big big for me.
A**hole protested, saying they gave him the same script with the same role highlighted. And surprise surprise, he forgot to bring the script. Not surprisingly, PA takes the side of A**hole.
PA : Aiyah, they must have make mistake on YOUR script lah! (Yah, like who died and made you director, Bitch)
I suggested that we let the director make the final decision and in the end, justice prevailed. That was my first culture shock and it made me realised that in this industry, fighting for roles exist even at the basest level. I mean for goodness sake, the role we are talking about is just a 花瓶! (flower vase) role.
To be honest, I didn't mind doing the lesser role, since both roles paid the same and I get to go back earlier. Of course, I will still be miffed, but not so much in the sense that I had to do the lesser role but that the time spent in preparing the other role will be wasted.
One fine and very hot day, Actor B tried to hijack a role belonging to Ruok. But Ruok, the cool cucumber that he is, played it cool and wisely waited for the director to handle it.
Now, the call time for hisRuok's role was earlier, and the call time for the other role was later. So when Actor B sauntered into the set later and saw that it was too late for him to hijack, he was understandably quite livid and tried to force himself back into the picture.
The director stopped him and in her bid to minimise tensions gave him the lame excuse that because he was late and they had already rehearsed, he would have to do the smaller role instead which will be shot later. (What Ruok couldn't understand was why she couldn't have just told him off directly instead)
The very next day, B came damm blady early for the shoot! What a silly, shallow man!
Ruok thinks that heB was scared that Ruok will end up taking over his role or something. But you know what, the joke is on him as the production overran and so they had to wait quite a bit (about 4 hrs) before they (finally) got to shoot their scene. Serves B right for having to wait around longer than Ruok. Its poetic justice man.
Ruok kinda feel sorry for him at the end. You see, this old man, probably thought that he could fufill his 明星梦(Superstar dream) with this role. And here was Ruok, some young upstart, trying to steal his second or third wind.
Sorry lor, but Ruok doesn't think he needs to steal anyone's wind, much less yours. So there.
Act II
Actor A was another old retiree. He was an old timer, and has been doing this for twenty years. (Fwah, I'm hope I'm not gonna do crap roles for 20 years man!) He revealed to Ruok that one of the exec producers of the show knew him coz he had been acting for her quite a bit while she was still a director. He was very friendly, not like Actor B. In fact, they both had a good chuckle over B's over-acting while they were chilling out.
They also shared quite a bit of their acting past, and he told Ruok that he could see Ruok had potential. (Why, thank you) Be patient, he said, in a Yoda-like voice, after Ruok told him quite resignedly that he have been at this for a few years already. They will take note of you one, he cryptically added.
Usually Ruok takes encouragement like this with a huge scoop of salt. Ruok knows people mean well when they say such things but you know, life is much easier to live when you don't expect too much. And Ruok has been trying to take things easy. He has very low expectations of being "noticed" by the powers to be. So there.
Act III
Actor C was a veteran actor, one of the old stalwarts in the industry. One fine and sweltering day, he had to work with Ruok for a commercial. C was surprised to find out that Ruok, a graduate with a good professional degree, was subjecting himself to a profession which he said he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He told Ruok flatly that since Ruok have been at it for a few years already and he hasn't even heard of him, he should really give it up and take on a "proper" job.
Ruok don't know if heC was saying all that because he meant well, or because Ruok reminded him of the young upstarts in the industry that have stolen his wind. It also made Ruok wonder whether if the passion for doing this will ever die out for him like it did for C, when Ruok begin to do this on a much more regular basis.
The commercial shoot also didn't really go very well for Ruok and it was beginning to feel like one of those bad act days for Ruok. The director told Ruok he looked very tired and listless during the shoot(see lah, worked too hard liow). Ruok hopes that he still managed to pull it off though. He had to act without his glasses and contact lenses somemore coz they changed their mind at the very last minute about not wanting him to wear specs. Ruok has no way of telling if he would end up looking like a blind bat.
Sigh. I guess I will know soon enough when the commercial is out.
So there...
Soul how, like that?

MileCentimeterstones
After what seemed to be a long hiatus, I am finally looking to be in the thick of things.
I will be doing my first commercial in four years tomorrow. I have just finished 5 days (first time for TCS 8) of shoot for a very minor role for an upcoming 100 episode drama. I will be doing a dramatised reading for the first time @ the Black Box this Saturday. I missed my first episode of Desperate Housewives due to a rehearsal.
I am utterly tired and sleep deprived for trying to juggle my ying and yang life thus far.
I am kinda loving this. I am such a glutton for punishment.
I would like to thank my casting agent for making this happen. For a while there, I thought He was skiving, tsk tsk tsk. Sorry man, but You can't blame me hor, it really seemed like You went MIA leh.
Need... sleep ....

I want to know who you are
Just came back from a shoot and discovered this.
I would like to thank all of you, whether you have stumbled here either by pure accident or through my incessant nagging, for making this possible. I hope your visit has been pleasant, and I hope you will visit again!
For those who have been visiting me all this while and have not establish contact, don't shy leh! Drop me a line and let me know you've been here, so I can also know who you are. Coz I am really finding it difficult to believe that I really have 50k hits. My brother even asked me if it was due to me being an egomaniac and clicking on my own site thousands of time.
Liew, you think I jiak ba bo sai pang(eat full already got no 'business' to do) meh?
Of course, I am also scared that majority of the hits would have come from weirdos. Thankfully, after a quick investigation, I found out most of the people who visit me are from direct requests. Which means most of you here must have kenna nagged by me then come wan lor. But hor, I don't remember nagging you all so many times leh. So I hope it means that I nagged at you once, you like what you see and you keep coming back for. :P
You may have observed that I have changed the picture in the index page. This was from a free but not so free photo session I had on Saturday , and this was the other shot I got to take home :
Here's looking at you babe.
Hopefully, this kind of photo will land me a watch advert soon.
Speaking of adverts, how, want to advertise here or not?

Seeing stars
I met my next door neighbour while coming back from a shoot on Tuesday night. She was with her father and I noticed that she had changed her hairstyle. For some odd reason, I gestured with my hands to ask if she had cut her hair and she nodded.
I guess her father must be wondering why this weird guy was totally ignoring him and communicating with his daughter through sign language.
She broke the silence and stunned me with this question : "Are you acting part-time?"
I was stunned because I really am not used to almost perfect strangers coming up to me and telling me they have seen me on telly before. I had just moved into the neighbourhood about 4 years ago, and I think I have only like three short conversations with this neighbour of mine. So I asked her how she knew and she said she saw me on tv once. I am wondering if that was before or after our seemingly harmless conversations before.
You guys must be wondering why I am not over the moon when people are recognising me. Well, because of late, I have not done any role that I was particularly proud of, and due to my massive ego, I do not want to be known for doing these roles.
It is because of this massive ego that when I am meeting someone for the first time and they are outside the industry, I always do not disclose the fact that I am an actor. Unless of course, they have seen me before and asked me directly to confirm their suspicions. Then I will confess my other life and hopefully gain myself a fan at the end of the day. (Harm's done, might as well make the most of it :P )
When my clients "discover" me on telly, I almost always freak out. Because unlike in the sales line, being known as an actor is actually kind of a bad thing in my other job. But thankfully, I have so far mitigated the bad effects and have not lost any clients over this. Of course, the day will come when more and more clients will discover me, but I think when that day comes, I will not need to rely on this job to feed my stomach anymore. So its all good.
One of the more embarrassing incident over my 'fame' happened when I was having breakfast at the coffeshop downstairs one day. I had known from my brother that the serving lady had "discovered" me on telly and had confronted my brother about my other occupation. But I was still surprised when she came over to me, after noticing I was having trouble cracking the still scalding hot half-boiled eggs I ordered and offered to help.
"No need lah!" I told her. "Let me lah!" and before I could stop her, she grabbed my eggs and cracked them for me. Right there in front of my soon to be adoring public.
I sheepishly thanked her and crawled under the table.
Ok, I was kidding about the crawling part.
So next time if you ever do meet me, please don't think the worst of me if I don't go and introduce myself as an actor right from the start.
Want my autograph or not?

Why I do the things I do
'Nuff said.
4 March 2005, Friday
Closer (MYRHTTAAW)
I walked out of the cinema wondering what the title "Closer" had to do with the movie. (Spoiler alert!! Stop reading if you want to watch the movie) In the end, the characters involved were even more further apart than they were at the beginning. So who or what the hell became closer?
But having said that, "Closer" is definitely one of those "Movies You Really Have To Talk About After Watching" (MYRHTTAAW) Which was why I kinda regretted watching it alone.
Well, actually I was not that alone. Quite fortuitously, the place I was seating was surrounded by quite a number of JC girls. Which was a first for me. I mean I don't think I have ever been surrounded by that many sweet young things in my life before. And just when I thought I must be getting closer to heaven, they flashed the trailer of "The Woodsman".
God's way of telling me I'm treading on dangerous ground I guess. :p
(Just to sidetrack a bit, Kevin Bacon's acting looked really superb in the trailers. Looks like its another movie I can't miss)
"Closer" is about modern relationships in a nutshell. You know, the kind that have trust, betrayal of said trust and the overwhelming need to know the truth behind the betrayal of that trust.( We are all sick animals that are gluttons for punishment if you ask me. Go read my ignorance is bliss post for more of my thoughts on this)
If you are in a relationship and have never experienced all of these, this movie will lift up your eyelids for you. If you had previous relationships that have all or some of these, this movie will make you nostalgic and make you wonder why you do the things you do. If you have never been in a relationship, then I think this movie will either bore the hell out of you or scare the hell out of you. Then again, if you are watching this movie just because of Natalie, you won't be that bored.
Coz she was that good. So good, I was surprised she didn't win the Oscar. (She did get get the Golden Globes though, oops I mean Globe) Maybe I'm biased, as I still remember how into her I was in "The Professional". (As I was typing this, images from the trailer of the Woodsman suddenly flashed in my mind. Bah, I tell you, that Kevin Bacon is damm good)
The rest of the cast acting was quite good too. I was kinda disappointed with Julia though. It certainly isn't one of her better performance. If I didn't know better I would say she had one pregnant pause too many.
While watching Nat, I had an epiphany. It all started with me feeling that I have recently heard someone who sounds like Nat's character before. Then when I stared into Nat's large eyes, I suddenly remembered who it was... its my screen bride! Yes! She would have been perfect for the Alice role!
Hmm, I guess the tricky part would be telling her. Not sure if she will take it as a compliment or as an insult :
"Hey Jeneen, I just saw this bril movie and I thought you'd be perfect as the stripper!!"
The movie also had a very apt theme song, called "The Blower's Daughter" by Damien Rice. Even after going through the lyrics, I still don't know why its called "The Blower's Daughter" man. (And no, its not that kind of song) But its a nice song, albeit a sad one and really suits the movie to a T.
There were some very cool lines too, like :
"How did his come taste like?" "Like yours, only sweeter."
"I desired him. I preferred you."
"I don't kiss strange men." "Neither do I."
"Thank you for being honest. Now fuck off and die."
"Not good enough!"
"Whaddaya mean you don't have a choice? There's always that moment before you fall in love where you decide to let yourself in or just walk away." (Or something like that, cannot remember liow)
The JC girls looked kinda stunned when the movie ended. I am not sure if its because they just saw Jude Law cry. Then one of them said, "disturbing" and the others murmured their agreement.
Disturbing indeed. Guess what, I just had another epiphany : The movie is called "Closer" because it can make you grow closer to the person you were watching with. Did I mention already how much I regretted watching this alone?
Disgust with me!

When Harried Me Met Her Sallying Again
Last week I had lunch with an old fren, Chloe. Chloe used to be one of my best frens, that is before marriage and children overtook my priority in her life.
We haven't caught up in ages; I think the last time we caught up was when she was still 6 months pregnant. Now she has two kids and I think her eldest one is about four years old. Despite that, she still managed to make me wait a good 16mins and 37s for her.
Chloe : OMG I'm so sorry, did I make you wait for long?
Ruok : Eh, not really.
Chloe : What time did you come? How long did you wait?
Ruok : Its ok lah, I'm used to it liow. I'm a "waiter", remember?
Chloe : Hahaha, you are right, you are!
So with the pleasantries aside we soon begin our 3 hour luncheon.
I first met Chloe in JC, and for the life of me, I cannot remember how we really became frens in the first place. I, however, do remember our friendship progressing to a state where I begin to wonder if we could be more than frens.
So I asked her.
She, being attached at that time, said nay and I thought that was the end of the friendship.
After giving each other the cold shoulder (ok, she was the one giving, I was the one getting) for about 3 months, she was sweet enough to write me a card apologizing for her behavior. She said she treasured our friendship and wanted us to be friends again.
And that was how we became the best of frens after that.
So, Chloe opened up a whole new world for me then. I used to subscribe to the "Harry met Sally" theory that guys and girls cannot be friends without being romantically involved.( I believe the word used was "sex") But after what I went through with Chloe, I now believe we can be friends with the opposite sex. Although sooner or later, we will have to cross the bridge called romance. And if one of you falls when crossing the bridge, whether the friendship survives or not will depend on whether the other party throws you a lifeline or gives you a wide berth.
I do find, however, that its kinda hard to maintain the closeness of the friendship once she gets married. In fact, more often than not, you will find that she is not so available anymore.
It gets even worse when she gets kids. It will be like you'd disappear from the face of the earth. I kid you not.
YK was another close fren, and the same scenario happened when she got married and have kids as well.
M got married last year and already the signs are showing that it will be no different.
BUT I don't blame them for these things happening. You see, I am an understanding guy. I understand that if I'm their husband, I wouldn't want them hanging out with me so often too, hehehe.
So while I still believe we can be platonic friends with girls, I now believe that the only way the friendship can continue to be as strong is to marry each other. Which come to think of it, was what the movie was trying to say all along.
