To Japan. With love, Singapore.

I have a tremendous love of Japan - whether its culture, food, people or language. In the process of mastering the Japanese language, I adore Japanese food & dream of working & living in the country one day. Hence, I have been very heartbroken by the death & destruction surrounding this beautiful country right now. Touched by the outpouring of moral support, love & giving from different parts of the world, Singapore's relief agencies are also joining in the rescue, medical help & rebuilding process, and...Read more

bucket list.

It's inevitable that sometimes, you feel down & out. There are just those days, or periods of time, when nothing happens, and you get demoralized & mild depression sets in. All you're thinking of is - is it time to give up, and just let the world go by?  It started a few days ago, and right now I'm just cruising right through things, in a low gear kinda way. Today I woke up before the sun came up, for a local TV drama shoot. The director is someone I've worked with a couple of times before - one of the louder, short-tempe...Read more

Mission: Proposal

Inspired by the Minute Festival (Asia), I wrote & co-produced a one-minute short film with a friend, titled "Mission: Proposal". It's a tongue-in-cheek look at the power of digital connectivity, even among strangers, in today's world. It's currently up on Youtube, submitted for Singapore's TNP First Film Fest. It's also here:  Read more

Jeanne Hartman - Acting & Writing Workshops in HK

I first attended Jeanne's Acting Workshop in Dec 2009. It was a wonderfully enriching time, both in terms of learning more about the craft, as well as getting to know more people in the HK industry - friends with similar passions.  Acting is a craft which is often misunderstood. Acting is not pretending, nor is it putting on a front. Audiences can tell when an actor is faking emotions, or behaving awkwardly & self-consciously...Read more

te amo HK.

Before diving into my blog entry about Jeanne's wonderful workshop, I decided to write a simple blog about the beauty of HK. A beauty that lies beneath the hustle & bustle of daily life, that draws people like myself & many others I've come to know in this big city. I've found that people gathered here are drawn from all over the world, attracted to the life in this city - you just simply feel ALIVE. Completely different from the quiet surroundings in much of Singapore. ...Read more

So on the spur of the moment, I decided to make a video blog.It also serves as a filler till my next blog entry - which will probab...Read more
