<p>I was about 10 minutes for the press premiere which fellow cast mate commented.</p>
<p>&#8220;You live nearby and you are late?&#8221;</p>
<p>The preview went very well. </p>
<p>Had my first press interview for RTM1 (too bad I forgot to ask when it&#8217;ll be showing).</p>
<p>Fellow cast mate, Benji Lim and I were interviewed about our roles as brother and sister in the movie. It was slightly weird to do the interview in Malay. My once fluent Malay is now peppered with a lot of English. Eek!!!</p>
<p>An hour or so after the preview. 3 bloggers posted their reviews.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that I sound rather ungrateful at times when I lament that I am a struggling and jobless actor. But when I look back at my so called career in acting, I have done pretty well in 2008.</p>
<p>Coming Out of The Closet Ã¢â‚¬â€œ May<br />
Older (The Platform)	- July<br />
Waiting for Ashes (Short+Sweet) &#8211; August<br />
Ketukung Togel Ã¢â‚¬â€œ August<br />
Cheng Ho and the Treasure Fleet Ã¢â‚¬â€œ October<br />
Hiding	- November<br />
The Stage Ã¢â‚¬â€œ November</p>
<p>Despite the fact that many of these were short plays and films. It does cement the fact that I have advance in my acting compared to me being in Penang. </p>
<p>LetÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s see what new projects 2009 will bring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone asked me if I ever fallen for a co-star before.</p>
<p>Now this is a tough question because I am not sure how to tackle this.</p>
<p>I believe in love and that love can be spontaneous. However, I hold on to some principles such as not dating co-workers. Technically, my co-stars are my co-workers. I know that there are people who do it and there is nothing wrong with that. But for me, it does complicate matters. I applaud people who are able to keep the line clean between professional and personal life. I know I am capable of doing the same but I not only lack focus; I have a huge drama hook. </p>
<p>Coming back to love, I have not fallen for a co-star during productions. The ones that I have fallen for were actually my friends before we started out the productions and things went awry from there. Simply put, they happen to be my crushes before they became my co-stars.</p>
<p>The upside of having your crush as a co-star is, you just canÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t wait to get to work. You become super productive and attentive. Well, at least I know I was more than happy to drive miles away to attend rehearsal even after my long day at work. </p>
<p>Plus, if your co-star is supposed to be your lover/partner in the show, it is easy to put in more emotional connection. But be warned that it is also hard to get out of it at times. This come as no surprise since many celebrities met their other half while filming on set. I shall not elaborate which couples because this is not a Hollywood gossip entry. </p>
<p>Productions are jobs to me and I for one will do my very best not to jeopardize that. It is true that the heart wants what the heart wants. So when it ever comes to that, I will make my decision then. For now, I am still able to maintain my professionalism. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In one of my previous productions, the role requires me to wear black. I mean, it would make a lot of sense since it is a piece about a two sisters at their fatherÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s funeral. </p>
<p>Now this is me in my bathrobe, standing in front of my closet.</p>
<p>Ã‚Â¾ of my closet is filled with black outfits.</p>
<p>Ã¢â‚¬Å“Dang it! I have nothing to wear!Ã¢â‚¬?</p>
<p>Talk about an ironic situation. </p>
<p>Others would have seen this as a great opportunity to go shopping. </p>
<p>I would have actually gone out and buy myself a new outfit. I have been used to that for low budget or in this case no budget productions. But budget constrains got the best of me and I decided to dig through the dark forest that I call a closet.</p>
<p>What seems to be funny isÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ The clothes that I used were actually clothes that I wear when I am working backstage. I guess my clothes decided that it is their turn to be in the spotlight for once. Hahaha!!!</p>
