Soo Wincci's MV in Sarawak

2010-07-10T20:35:00.000-07:00

i just got back from Brunei and saw Bjarne Wong's invitation to all sarawakian to come for the casting for Ms. World Malaysia, Soo Wincci's upcoming MV titled Seen ( 看見 kan jian ) on Facebook. So I send the director an email to which he replies I can come over to give it a shot and so I did.

I went online to book for a flight but there was no flight as i only got the news a day before the audition. I was asking a good friend and he told me that he has a friend working at the bus station. Edi called and helped me book the ticket and so, i rushed home to pack and dash off to the bus station. I took the 2pm bus... after 14 hrs journey, i finally reached Kuching @ 5:30am..

meeting both eldest sister and her son and 2nd sister and her family was refreshing.. i miss them so so much... :) they dropped me off at the Level Up fitness to which the audition is going to take place early... I always love to be early so I was very early.. lol... anyways, i made some inquiries regarding the gym and to my luck, its their open day.. but to my dismay, i didn't bring any proper attire for workout... but guy, no worries, they rent out clothings at RM10 to which u have to return ya.... hahaha... anyways, i did some workout and met Kiu, a local bodybuilder who had just competed for Mr. Sarawak.. he's a lecturer at Limkokwing sarawak campus :P anyways, the gym is pretty complete cept for the smith machine which i found out later the reason for its disfunctional reasons.. is one of the member dropped it too hard that the bars bent... lol

anyways, the audition starts.. there were quite a number of participant which turns up... some are really hilarious during the tryouts to which i find really entertaining :) they are all good.. hahaha... one came just to have Soo's signature.. he came in with a pirate eye patch.. and he even announce his motive... :P I got the place eventually and not only that, i won many friendships too... great winning....

the wardrobe fitting came the next day after the press conference... i had a day shoot with them around kuching.. 1st stop was Bau, somewhere near wind cave.. and they we moved on to Bjarne's family resort which has great scenery... and we made our way back to town where we shot at the old court and Hilton itself... we did some shoots at the hotel on the 2nd day... well, watch the MV to find out more on the details ..... :P don't wanna reveal much here eh :P

anyways... every1's curious on what my diet is like during the shoot.. well, i didn't have much of a choice so i only took steamed chicken breast rice.. of course, less or no rice :P all the way.. hahaha..... and i even had the opportunity to test the Hilton gym... "IT SUCKS" lol... the service as well as the service attendant weren't at all friendly to house guest....

I learnt a lot from the whole production.. especially from Alwyn of the Panasonic G-team... the whole shoot was fun.. anyways, last but not least...

Many thanks to .....

Pumping Fierce

2010-04-17T17:59:00.000-07:00

staying in line till i my calling comes.. rite now i'm only maintaining what i have to and sometimes when im crazy, i just pump harder... but lately, i've been pretty much wild in the gym with non-stop remix of pumps... even scared 3 kids who were playing basketball with my suction techniques :P hahaha....

since recovery is in the process... i've been sick for the past couple of days.. down on flu, sore throat and fever... and no.. its not H1N1... lol... im just allergic to dust and furthermore, since my body fats is at 3.9% .. practically only 2.5kg, i can't stand the cold air-con ..... and so, i fell sick... anyways, yesterday, i was pumping hard with my good fren Eddie @ X-Gym, Miri... almost fainted after a heavy supersets... out of the blue, my oxygen was cut off and blood pressure kinda dropped and I just fell onto the floor.. but recovery was a speedy 1.... i guess its the adrenalin rush and my lack of oxygen due to flu cuts off everything.... oh well, word of advice... don't take hardcore supplements when ur sick :P hahaha.... oh well, i survive another day... :)

Burn on set

2010-03-31T06:11:00.001-07:00

hahaha.... well, it was my mistake for wearing a slipper to a shoot.. cause we were shooting in a jungle camp and full-covered shoes is not what u would wanna wear especially when i was raining the whole time and getting frozen toes.. anyways, it was the last day for me that day and while trying to get the tiki lights to burn with a "Whatever we can find" fuse around the corner... we actually got a thin rope which has plastic as one of the material.. i saw the way it burnt so i think it ain't working out.. while trying to pull it out with the pliers, the rope broke and the burning plastic part fell onto my foot and man... the feeling was out of this world as the burning plastic sticks to the skin... jumping around like a monkey obviously din help.. neither did it help when i try to swap it away with my fingers as it got stuck to my fingers instead... hahaha... i had to hold it all back and not to scream as they were still shooting... hahaha.... anyways, once they called a cut, i walked hastily towards the river and try to ease the pain in the cole

Pulled off the skin to apply medication

Maintaining absolute focus

2010-03-31T05:09:00.000-07:00

There is an old chinese saying - prepare the umbrella before the rain ... I may be resting from the local entertainment industry but who says anything bout quitting? hahaha... i'll maintain myself in the best physics till that day come.. my 2nd season..

Sometimes its a little hard to do so when dad is not agreeing to what i believe and planned for the future. None of which will affect me as I'm not doing what I'm doing now to impress anyone, I'm doing it cause I believe in my course of action and my dream.

Lost 4 kgs while shooting in Kuala Lumpur for KINKS (http://www.kinksthemovie.com/) not cause they starve me.. food was ample bt i strictly stick to my planned diet of Oatmeal + Skimmed milk or Wholemeal Bread + peanut butter.. on and off i will have some rice and vege but most of which i'll keep to my diet plan. but din planned to lose that much of weight.. anyhow, i managed to get ripper along the process.. with deeper cuts on the mid section.

guilty as charge on my last day as I have a great lunch with someone very special to me @ Delicious, Bangsar Village. I had a very richly cheese covered carbonara pasta and 2 forkfull macadamia cheese cake and a heart attack session ... hahaha... but a lunch i'll never forget ms sunshine :)

sigh, now i've to pack some carbs to bulk up just a little so i don look too skinny

During my KL trip, some1 commented that I don't work on my legs and advice me to do so... anyways, Dev... here is a pic... i workout to satisfy myself, not to show off ...

Not aiming to be a bodybuilder.. but just enough to wake up to face myself in the mirror... i don't wanna look like the incredible hulk in my next feature :P

Getting it down with Universal Nutrition Animal Cuts

Scars draft Footage

2010-01-15T15:26:00.000-08:00

After 2 consecutive days of fight scene which came to a halt due to the monsoon rain which was on time daily at 3pm, we weren't able to finish the shoot and furthermore, some of the cast going outstation and conti's not applicable due to our full-time work. I had couple more drama's and films shoot which requires me to have a conti, Pui have to cut his hair for a film conti and my schedule been packing real tight with the rest of the crew as well. But not all was in vain, we have really good shots but incomplete due to some missing links in between. So I can only make the best of what we have and try to make clips out of it cause all the actors did very well that day..

Right now I'm working on a "New" Scars... well Version 2.. this time, there will b professional help... the script is halfway through... and there are more time for the preparations... I know this time we will hit the jackpot..... stay tune for more....

here i would like to ask for the forgiveness of the crews and cast who are involve in "Scars V.1" But as said, i'll make the best out of it so that it can be included in your filmography :)

Great expression from Howard Law

Mook's chocking it in hard..

Lucky I got Howard to play Mook, imagine a guy who's 200 pounds... gona break my back on this

As said, real stunts on real ground :P

From Left [bong (Me), Bob, Gerald]

Sybil is a war hero (nurse) during the Japanese occupation in Malaya. She is mostly known in Ipoh for her saint works where she was nursing the wounded and helping the resistance to fight off the Japanese.

RedCom is now shooting the drama in Perak, mostly in Papan, Ipoh and some of the nearby forest and jungle. The Drama will be aired on Astro Citra in March 2010 which is a subscribe channel.

I am given the opportunity to play one of the important role in this drama as one of the Resistance, Pasukan Tiga Bintang (The 3 stars) or more known as the communist who fiercely tries to fight off the Japanese.

I play Mak Lai Chai, a notorious, uneducated, brute and unreasonable officer who distrust anyone who have ever come in contact with the Japanese and only resolve to one solution to the matter, "DEATH" It's fun to play character like such cause i get to release all the anger inside... muahahaha.....

for more info, just subscribe to the channel in March 2010 :)

Well, if you are interested and in Miri / Brunei / or anywhere near but willing to travel to Miri, you are all welcome... sorry, It's a no budget film production for the moment so there won't be any payment but if you are interested to sponsor or support us financially, You are definitely welcome :)

Toning it up... Bi's & Tri's Day

2010-01-04T15:02:00.000-08:00

To be an actor we have to be versatile in everything. Be it mentally fit, physically suitable and of course, flexibility.....

I just love working out... just love the gym where i can escape to when i need to think.....

Scars

2010-01-03T01:05:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I last blogged. I've been busy, been around, been emo-ing, been thinking, planning......... lots of things have been in my mind for the past couple of months. things which i need to change right after CNY. something which I hate to do, is to choose between family and career. I love my family and career is my life. but sad to say, family and career can't be in the same town... but who says anything is fair.. lol. i just wish i can be home with my family and hug them every morning i see them at the breakfast table. I miss home so so much. I would give up my life just to be with them.

By creating "Chaotic Baboons Films" I will be bringing my career where very I go. which is right now, still in a bit of the shadows where all the creature of the abyss is dwelling... lol.... but anyhow, CBF shot her 1st short film on the 26th and 27th Dec 2009... right after Christmas and just before End of the Year.... lol... "Scars" is the 1st offspring not my personal 1st project with He-man (In Search of Life). we got a lot of talented people working on this No Budget Project which I'm very grateful to.

Here I wanna thank

The Crew
Hii King Wu
Lester Raja
Rainie Lee
Cat Ching
Ping Khoo

The Cast
Jojo Lyons
Pui Fook Chien
Howard Law
Joseph Lee
Chee Hong
Garry E
Terry Saw
Zahir Danial

Pikky Lim
(for giving us the permission to use her place)

"Scars" epd 1 has not been fully shot due to the bad weather and our hectic schedule and furthermore, one of our cast will be leaving to further his studies. So in order not to put every1's effort to waste, I'll try to make a teaser out of it... still in the planning... if all the footage is enough to make it :P (That teach me a lesson not to shoot outdoor scene at the end of the year with no budget) Hahaha....

Am Writing another project which will only take place after CNY 2010. This time, i'm keeping it a little more simple with just one static location. I've not decided where i'll have it since my future is still among the mist. but anything goes, its either Miri or Ipoh. It's going to be a sitcom... yeah, i know, i know... "Another Sitcom?" hahaha... but hey, im a producer under budget... and in order for me to score my dream, I've to think creatively and budgetly.... lol

anyways, Stay tune for "Bricks by brick"

........ Scars will not disappear, it will stay with us for the rest of our lives.... so do not be afraid of them, for it is em that craft us, our personality and our future......

Back from Ipoh : Back from Tangkal Besi

2009-12-30T02:07:00.000-08:00

Back from the Tangkal Besi shoot in Ipoh... 1st thing 1st..... Yeah! NO MORE WIG.... gosh... such a torture with wigs.. hahaha... well, Director says my hair don't look too 70's so im required to wear a wig... but the wig they provide me was in such a bad quality that at the end of the 1 mth shoot... there weren't much strain left... it kept falling each time i use it... lol...

anyhow, this trip down to Ipoh proves very educative and entertaining. And so, I place Ipoh as one of my move spot. Of course, if i can't find a job with the right pay, Brunei is still my destination. But I would wanna move down to Ipoh cause living expenses is really low there and furthermore, its closer to my career opportunity.

And so the 1st film "Chaotic Baboons Films" took place over the weekend at Damansara Jaya with her 1st short film, "SCARS" Although we didn't managed to finish the whole shoot, we did managed to finish off more than half of the scenes. But now we face another problem, some of the actors will be flying off somewhere for a long period and furthermore, i've to arrange to suite everyone time and schedule since all of them have full-time 9-5 job except me... hahaha... but, im looking to see if there is enough footage to make a teaser :)

I'm writing on my second project for CBF which is a sitcom. A project I plan to work on once I move down to Ipoh and rent the whole house so i can use all the space I want.

stay tune for more info... :P

Writing... Writing....

2009-12-06T22:26:00.000-08:00

2nd Script all ready and waiting on the Storyboard to be drawn... well, i'm sketching the Fight sequence now... :P trying to imagine hard... :P

anyways... shoot starts on the 26th - 27th December 2009.....

stay tune for "SCARS" written by Bong Cheng Tzuu... (me) :P

Stunts for MediaCorp Malaysia

2009-10-10T02:36:00.000-07:00

Initially didn't expect to perform any stunts for the 2 days shoot but after I saw the 2 professional HK Stunt Masters, I have a feeling things are likely as I expected it. I had to flip, fall, and even get whack with a Rattan Stick... hahaha... anyways, seems common for me to do stunts now after a couple of experiences with such shoots. Hopefully I won't just be categorized as just a stuntman and rather an Actor :)

Enjoy

Ramly At War Begins Premier @ KLPac

2009-09-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

17 Sep 2009 marks a memorable milestone for the cast and crew of Ramly at War Begins who had work hard with sleepless nights (Especially the Director), cracking their heads (DOP with 1st experience on Guerrilla production with no budget) and squeezing every ounce of brain juice (Action and stunt choreographers in coming up with superb action sequences) and endless sacrifice and dedication to the success of the film from every1 involved.

The heavy rain and the crazy traffic congestion that day didn't affect the outcome of the premier as we saw a healthy numbers of crowd which ended up with a 2nd screening on that night.

We screened a horror film directed by Joe Choong (Who is studying in UK now) and acted by Charlene Meng as the victim and Rainie Lee as the ghost. The outcome was really good till Rainie who played the ghost was shocked by her own appearance on screen... hehehe....

Then came the main event which every1 was anxiously waiting for, "The World Premier of Ramly at War Begins by Jblockbuster and Low Angle Production" All I can say is, I'm so proud to be a part of the production. Every1 in the hall enjoyed the film and was anticipating for more. We got a lot of great reviews from every1 and I know, Ramly At War Full Feature is coming soon :)

Jblockbuster is selling the DVD at RM10 each and if you don't own it, you have not seen a blockbuster in the making... you have to watch it.. no point of me telling you how great it is... you have to experience it... be mesmerized... :)

But guys, please don't try that all cause I'm just lucky that my body can adapt to all those stated above... someone i know tried it and they are experiencing really bad nose bleeding other symptoms. At time, I can feel the drive inside of me, pumping so hard that I can't even breath or think right when im trying out new dosage so I know the limitations... once I almost fainted at One Utama... hahahaha..... so please... please.... please... know ur limits and don't be a crazy lunatic like me..... Everyone's body adapt to em differently... ask ur personal doc for advice....

Relaxing Sun Bathing session

2009-08-23T00:32:00.000-07:00

Well, if you are buffed or ripped.. yet, you are as fair as a maiden... non of your hard earned muscles will be showing.. that's why i took matters into my own hand and went all the way to 3K for a sun bathing session. but things didn't turn out the way it is as well, the 3K community weren't at all friendly, the swimming pool is covered with a roof, and even the valet attendant were giving me a hard time. oh well, I took off and back to Kelana Jaya's swimming pool located next to the stadium.

Paid RM4 for entry, checked the locker filled with cobwebs and decides not to use em. tried to look a convertible chair for me to relax on but seems like there is no such service here. so I laid on the tiles waiting for the sun to surface behind the clouds.. I put on Tanning oil on my chest, back and legs but sun block on both my arms cause they are already tanned. lol. I had 1 hr front BBQ and another 1hr for my back. and the result was satisfying. I'm well colored in healthy tan :P going for another BBQ session soon cause i just love the relaxation session :)

My 1st main lead role was with the UCSI students who got me to play a psycho for their final film assignment. During the same time, i was playing as an extra for another group of UCSI students on the same project :P hahaha... well, it was fun to play both the hunter and the victim. furthermore, my main lead role requires me to play 3 characters because he has tri-personalities. well, all in all, i was playing 4 characters in one shot :P hahaha... talk bout challenge as a 1st time main lead actor.... well, i watched it twice and i think, i still need room for improvements and im going to study on my weaknesses and try to improve myself.

thanks Catherine to select me for the role and Pei Khee for giving me my 1st opportunity to die on screen :P hahaha...

confused to see my own reflection in the washroom

Yeah.... hmmm.... something is wrong with me when i start talking to myself :P

Strangling someone is not an easy task... hope i look murderous

I know, I know, the shoot was wrap on Sunday but took me 3 days to blog it here... but i was totally KO on monday... was suppose to head to the gym to torture my body but couldn't even feel my muscles.. so I choose not to take the risk... and I've promised someone I will not go by picking up the key... lol. And Tue was all work for me with Media Corp latest tv drama, Friends Forever... Guess what... its all stunt acting and I had to fly through a plywood wall, getting thrown all over the place further exhausting my muscles.. and today, I went to the gym to punish myself further before the evening shoot with media corp... I thought what the hell, since I don't get much rest... why not just push it further and get the rest for the weekends... lol

anyways, Ramly At War is the most enjoyable set i've done as all the crew are harmonious and working together in a very close manner... every1's doing their job and caring is all around.... I love you guys.. .thanks for the wonderful experience... and Thanks Virginia for Oiling me throughout the who fight scene :)

We had a Harley shoot and then more Harley came and EVEN MORE came and I started Drooling over the bikes... hahaha... but then again, there was couple of them already in the garage with one of our local celebrity, Awie's Devil Red Harley sat beautifully waiting to be customized.

anyhow... one of the most interesting scene for the night was the begger scene.. hahaha.... Juliane can't stop laughing.. and I had a hard time playing the role as I have to hold back my laughts... Alif was fabulous that nite making the scene really fantastic :) wrap around 4am :)

Ramly at War 2nd Test Shoot at TTDI

2009-07-01T16:32:00.001-07:00

We had another test shoot yesterday at Bukit Kiara, TTDI. I arrived at 7:45pm for a 8:30 shoot to walk around and relax myself before the trainings. But the sky didn't look too promising with the lightnings and soft roar. But It was a blessed night as it didn't even had a single drop except for the night dew.

the training started with light warm-ups and stretches. then we move on into the choreography which was quite good. It was a very drafted one so that we get the feel and hang of it before the shoot. Juliane came after she settled the lightings and arrangements of equipments and stuff. Dex, Danny and the every1 else came after to watch our progress... the night ended with the security of the park informing us that they are closing at 12am. but we managed to finish what we set out for and all we have to do now is to watch the clips and make necessary amendments... :P

In Pain before the Hong shouts the "ACTION"

Struggling to overpower one another

As usual, Hong will arrive with his Story Board and he will start off with discussing with his fellow Choreographers on how to stage it once to show me how its done so that i know what they wanted and then I'll get down and have a feel of it.

It was pretty casual as we all just wanted to get a hang of how it feels before the test shoot.

But my scenes are far from over.. actually, very far... hahahaha.. cause we have to wait for Henry to come back from his outstation trip to shoot the last scene of the whole film and he won't be back in another month or 2.. anyways, here are some of the fight / choreograph and fun scenes.....

Ramly at War - The Test Shoot -

2009-06-28T04:26:00.000-07:00

The Director has been hard at work getting everything prepared for the shoot, The Producers are working hard to get everything in order, Script Writers are finalizing the final draft, all the cast are well prepared and all that is left is the Test Shoot before the actual Shooting.......... So today's the day.... My 1st test shoot... actually it was yesterday but I didn't took much pictures on that one... but anyways, today I got Juliane to take the pictures and it was fabulous.. Thanks Juliane, ur photo skills are fantastic. love the pictures. (Juliane is the Director :P)

Juliane Block has directed tons of films including "Emperor, The Kowloon Story, Bad Timing and etc...) i came to know of her during Michael Wiese's Master Class at FINAS not too long ago. She totally inspired me when I was talking to her and I can sense that she is really dedicated in her work. That was why when i was offered to act in "Bad Timing" I didn't have to think twice to accept the role. I know I can learn a lot of things from her.

The training took place at Kiara Hills, TTDI. we started at 11am all the way till 1:30pm... but gosh, the SUN was a murder... hahahaha... it penetrated through even when i had my sunblock. I am as red as a lobster now.. but with Palmer's Lotion.. I guess the pain is lessen. anyways, the choreography was set and finalized with story boards in order. (That's the way it should be done) all we have to do was to get into the mood and react to the feel. I was partially injured with accidental kicks and punches thrown at me but it was good as I needed the wake up call for my body. I've not taken beatings for a long time now and I've seem to almost forgotten how it feels. hahaha... well, there were times when the flying kicks coming my way went wrong and almost hit my groin.. but the worst was the part where I got kick hard on the side of my hip right at the pelvic bone and there was another one on my side rib cage just under the chest. there was another injury to Garry yesterday who fell right into my pelvic bone and had nose bleeding. so we were like joking about it right after he accidentally kicked my hip "Revenge of the Pelvic Bone"

The Choreography is superb. Something which I need to work with as Im more of a grounded fighter with lots of takedowns. The Low Angle crew are really helpful in guiding me to get into proper posture while throwing punches and kicks.. we had lots of trainings on reactions, especially on how to take punches on different parts of the body. The Low Angle group are really dedicated at what they do and I find them to be very professionalized in doing what they do especially when the 1st time they showed me the story board. Something which proves that they are well organized and prepared for the WAR. anyways, stay tune for more and when the film is out, please support the film as this is just the prequel.................. to be continue

It was on the last day of Wang Xiao-Chen's shoot here in Malaysia for Fist of Dragon. She was quite please that its her last day and i think she was looking forward to return to the long awaited bed back in China. I guess i would have miss home if i were to travel to a foreign land to have a month shoot. but i just love the thrill of traveling to an uncertain plain where i have to explore the mystery.. anyways, here are some pictures for memories :P

Visiting Friends at Port Klang Shoot Site

2009-06-26T18:12:00.000-07:00

260609 - went over to Port Klang to visit the Fist of Dragon's cast and crew. It was quite a ride from my place, Kota Damansara to the Jetty. cause I used the NKVE highway, it took ages for me to reach. and upon reaching the Port, I had to ask around to get to sumwhere near because it no one knows exactly how to get there and all the directions were different. Finally, the attendant at the BHP station was most helpful giving me the exact direction to my destination.

Its the 1st day shoot of the final fight scene between the villain and the Hero. lots of wiring work and fight stunts. I weren't involve with this stunt work today cause im attached to another shoot "Ramly At War" where I'm the play the main actor. I took around 700 shots on the day and these are just a few I took with my new Canon basic Lens 50mm f1.8 which I just got at 3pm. I didn't just buy it actually, It was cause my basic stock lens just failed me and to fix it cost me another one of these lens :'(

anyways, will b blogging more pictures soon.. here are sum review

Its Monday's final day shoot and yet, more shoots for me and Jey. anyways, we will b wrapping up soon too.. i weren't able to capture more pictures cause my lens collapse and I weren't able to capture any more image... everytime i press on the shutter button, an "Err 99" appears on screen... sob... sob... will b getting myself a new lens as soon as possible... anyhow... we did lots of stunts for the past couple of days, i had my fight scene done.. only left some minor shots here and there so that means il b coming back to Malacca soon enough with Jey who has more fight scenes left cause they had the major fight scene left for last.

anyways, will b visiting them at Klang for the fight scene tomorrow and hopefully, im able to borrow some1's DSLR to capture sum more shots :P

2009-06-25T07:31:00.000-07:00

Behold, the Ramly at War -The Prequel- Poster... be sure to stay up to date on the film cause you will be petrified by the outcome

It's a Martial Art Film All Right :)

2009-06-19T19:45:00.000-07:00

And of course, There are lots of FIGHTING involved... I'm heading down to Malacca for my last fight scene for the film today. But not after I finish off my training and choreography with Julian Block on her Martial Art Film, Ramli At War. I'm the main actor of this action film which will be shot in early July. Talking bout getting beaten up, 2 martial art films in 2 months :P but we have been training for Ramli At War for the past 2 mths after Julian confirm the shoot and the Main Choreographers, Low Angle has been working hard to make you feel the bruise just by watching it on ur couch. there will be MMA, Karate, Taekwondo and capoeira fighters involved...

Here's more behind the scene from "Fist of Dragon" well, im not allowed to be involve on that day because i'm one of the main cast and they told me that my well build physics stands out too much and will be easily spotted ... lol :P

Having my share in Stunt Work :P

2009-06-19T04:33:00.000-07:00

Well, I've to be versatile with what I do. Every1 brand me "Jack of all Trades" ah... well, master of a few.. or more :P anyways.. I got the opportunity to work with 2 legendary local stunt masters, Bro Wah and Bro Fai. And we have Man Wai who has been in the industry for a decade and more. and more Martial art champions involved in the whole film especially Jey Tong who is a world champion Martial Artist. I feel so lucky that I get to learn from all these experts.

Well, that day, my job was to handle the wiring. Timing and proper planning is needed in this as perfection or near perfection is required to make the whole thing look real in the film. We have Man Wai being hooked up for the fight scene. No stunt double was required as he himself is a stuntman. Its not my 1st time working in a stunt team though. I was working with the Hong Kong Stunt Masters previously and I think its a good thing to learn all these to enhance my capability as a skilled actor.

2009-06-18T22:04:00.000-07:00

Well, you get to buy the ticket, sit in the cinema, watch trailers and wait for the show to start... all seems too easy to make. we tend to tell people next to us in the cinema that we can do that and better... but do you really know what happens behind the scene? Here is a fun side of it all

a portion of the stuntmen for the film...They are all state, country and even world champion except me who's a nameless fighter :P

I just love this shot cause my biceps was emphasized

Getting Ready for a big fight :P

2009-05-26T00:17:00.000-07:00

Its almost time for the fight scenes and Im all prepared for Juliane's next film. I wanna be in the perfect condition to face whatever obstacle being thrown my way. But physical conditioning is just one part of acting.. Emotional Conditioning is very important too as you would wanna capture the character. Live like the character, eat like the character, sleep like the character.... etc... that's my rules.. I won't mind being the character till the end of the shoot.. :P

This is an all time favourite Delt exercise. It builds over mass and strength for the delt

This is the least fav Exercise for the Delt due to weak rear Delts, its hard to use heavier weights

FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!

Jack Neo's Love Matters

2009-05-10T03:59:00.000-07:00

My 1st Chinese Film was with the legendary Singaporean Director, Jack Neo. Im lucky enough to have met him in 3 of my shoots for "Love Matters" The shoot took place at Ampang.. I was like asking them about the location but the description they gave me confuse me because im not familiar with the kl route. but when I reached the LRT station at KLCC, the location was actually beside my college... hahaha...

well, i went in and had my make-up and hair done... and the best part was, I met a lot of old friends and made new friends. Sunny is the wardrobe guy, an old friend of mine during WiraSiswi shoot together with Jarold from LFS studio.

anyways, after a couple of hours there, the main star finally arrived together with the crews and all (I always arrive early - at least 1 hr or more) the shoot started and gosh, was Jack Neo strict during the shoot :P but he was fun with lots of joking around to loosen every1 up. and he loves to take pictures with his Digital SLR :)

It was a great day at the shoot and after a couple of hours shoot and they wrap for the day. Hear from the main actresses that they are heading to KLCC to shop.. but i was rushing off to another apointment :P

anyways, the shoot was great and I went to the 1st day cinema premier :P

haf u al watch it? well, my scene was pretty short but at least I apprear twice in this film as different role :P tell me what u think :) can u spot me :P

Me serving as a Gigolo

Offering Liquer and entertaining the customer when her friend choose their partner

Brushing up on the characters, setting up on the background, and even trying to think of the best cast for the characters...

My script is still under Pre-Pre-Production... I've the plots up but need a lot of brushing up to do.. construction is still under the forest clearing level. Hopefully, i can finish what I've set up to do today. Trying to get all the characters done with the final characteristics and history..

will keep the updates posted frequently :P
