Plus One Under The Belt
Ahh... the magic of a good team. Dynamics.
Filming today was awesome and I hope that the end product would be even more so. I was so inspired by it all today that I plan to do a project and rope them all in to be part of it.
Anyway it was really tiring waking up so early but in the end I guess it was worth it. I had a lot of running to do though, but there was an epic situation that made it worth it. I believed in the story too, just that I couldn't slap Pamy. That was hard. I hope that editting would somehow make it seem better.
I felt that I've grown through acting today. I guess that's the best feeling that's kind of difficult to describe. Acting is putting emotions and thoughts and actions out there - a performance - and somehow the experience just gives you something right back. You grow as a person.
Thanks for making everything fun you guys. Bernie, Amos, Pamy, Lyon. And especially to the da dao yan Melvin Chen who thought I was really going to whack him when he was demo-ing someone else's role. Eh I accidentally stayed in character and couldn't get out!
Lyon and Melvin - get A okay! Extend my "winning" streak! LOL!

Cast Me!
From Lyon,
Yo jason. Tmr 11.30 in studio hor. Bring two sets of clothes. One with like shirt and jeans and the other one more casual and rebellious when you were a gangster. Bring your specs for the preppy changed man look.
Yes, I am very excited to be acting tomorrow, especial after a somewhat long period of time without acting stints! I'm just doing this for fun because I'm not a very good actor but I love getting into character. Either that or I'm a whore, as most of my friends would call me.
However I must say it sounds suspiciously like a video I did 2 years ago that you can see here, where the fairygod mother supposedly changed me from rich-kid to happy-gangster. Ahahaha... My first ever acting stint!
Gangster is good. I've had my fair share of gangster moments. Tomorrow I'll channel my inner Anthony Wong OK!

...and myself! Haha... hope it brings some serious LOLs during this freaking stressful exam period!
I have no idea why we look like we have small eyes but we DON'T!
And without further ado here's the COM 206 video, WinFall.
Ooh, and a small note. TP and I both noticed that almost all (or all?) of us NY 86 guys had a great showing for this sem's 206, with DJ, Ahmad, Iqbal, Tp and myself taking on star roles! Hahaha...

Jump
I played a character who was silly and most definitely stupid. He's a good-for-nothing slacker who sits around all day waiting to win 4-D. He's a disgusting, loathesome character. Someone for everyone to laugh at; the butt of all the jokes. He's funny, but in a pathetic way. He's a handsome chap though, which was why I agreed to play him. Regardless, it's probably his only redeeming feature. He drinks, smokes and waves to pretty girls who walk by.
Especially if she is freaking hot, in jaw-dropping 3-inch heels and a little black dress and channeling Britney Spears.
If there's one thing he has though, it's the drive.
Drive, and crazy determination. That is why I probably enjoyed myself so much. What do characters do so that the audience can relate to them? Play, with undying determination, to the character's goal. And this guy gets what he wants.
He lost his potential winning 4D ticket to the wind.
If it were me, I would give up. It's a ridiculous fight. I'd mull over it and get on with life.
He didn't. Odds are nothing. He just got off his ass and ran. He ran and he ran and he ran. He hopped, skipped and jump. He tried to snatch it out of the sky. He tried to use both hands to lay a clap on it. He even wanted to body slam it when it touched the ground but he might as well have used a butterfly net with a hole the size of a bowling ball. It is heart warming to see a person try so hard. It's the reason why we root for the underdog.
The fucking ticket even flew into the water and he jumped in with utter disregard for wet underwear!
Sometimes we second-guess ourselves too much. We hesitate. We doubt. We wait for more guarantees. Extra-comfort. Someone to give our confidence a boost. Someone to say that they'd be there if we fail. We think. We pause.
And we think of the what-ifs that aren't helpful at all.
Instead, plunge into the deep end. Regardless. The path is in front of you. Uncertainty is a wasteful emotion.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Edit: I just touched the area above my left eyebrow and I felt a bump caused by my attempts at being Jackie Chan during the playground scene. And I find it an insanely apt metaphor for setbacks, pain and disappointment.
Dust yourself up and try again.
