夏威夷幕後。。。
11 years later
11年后
Hawaii was absolutely amazing... It was a lot better than I remembered in year 2000 - a whopping 11 years ago! Time really flies. Back then, I was flown to Honolulu to record my first CD with Tetsuya Komuro. We stayed at Waikiki just like this tim except I spent most days in the studio. This time around, we actually got to see more than the breath-taking Waikiki beach.
夏威夷的景色绝对美不胜收。。。比起11年前还要棒！时间过得真快。那时，为了录制我的与Tetsuya Komuro第一张专辑，我飞往檀香山。同样的，我们就住在檀香山。唯一不同的是，大多时间，我都在录音室里度过。而这一次，我们确能真正的享受着檀香山的海滩与美景。
Most memorable moment
最难忘的一刻
Nothing beat our trip out to the ocean on a catamaran this time.... where we sailed freely with the winds into the open sea against a double rainbow. I put on my 'i’m on a boat' iphone playlist and I danced and swung my arms around like a mad woman haha by this time (i.e. Episode 3 - the whole crew know I’m a bit of a nutter.) The crew hired another boat which sailed along us filming us as we went along and to our surprise, we saw a pod of dolphins swim right past us! They swam right past the front of the boat flipping and jumping as they went by. And the cameras swiftly shifted their focus onto the beautiful creatures. By the time we managed to stop the boat, they were soaring along in the distance towards the horizon. This was my first time ever seeing dolphins in the wild and let me tell you it’s a trip! It definitely beats ocean park and the freedom that you feel when you see them seems to forever resonate in your heart. At that moment, I had to stop my racing mind and appreciate how lucky I am to be able to do what I love as a career and be there experiencing this.
能划着双体船航向海洋，这是我此行最难忘的亲体验。随着风向，自由自在的航行至公海，同时拥有一道漂亮的双彩虹为背景。戴上耳机，听着我的iPhone音乐，像似着了魔的疯婆跳舞，双手左右摇摆（ 一同相处了一段时间的制作单位这时都知道其实我还蛮疯狂）。制作组为了拍摄，也租了另一只船与我们并肩航行。沿着海洋拍摄的当儿，最让我们雀跃万分的是看到了海豚与我们擦肩而过！看着他们游过船时，左右翻转，跳跃水面的画面实在难得。而相机也瞬间向着海豚们，将这美丽的画面拍了下来。当我们终于把船只停下来，海豚们已直往地平线。这是我生平第一次在海中央看到海豚！这简直胜过海洋公园，况且此画面将永远在你心中产生共鸣。在那一刻，我不得不感恩，不仅能以我的兴趣当职业，也深感幸运能够在拍摄期间，拥有这突入其来的完美回忆。
Peter and I got into our wet suits, flippers and snorkeling gear and dove into the ever blue. Ken, April, Sean all got in the water with us with their underwater equipment and filmed us swimming past. It was incredible!That’s a first! I found out soon after that this series would be my first for many things... First onscreen kiss, first dolphin experience, first double rainbow, first proposal and more...
穿上潜水衣，脚蹼和潜水装备的我们潜入那美如蓝宝石般的海洋。这令人难以置信的镜头一一由制作组捕捉入镜！这可是史无前列的一次经验！仔细想想，参与这浪漫片的制作让我经历不少第一次吖。。。如，第一次于屏幕上献吻，第一次与海豚同行的经验，第一道双彩虹，第一次的求婚等等。。。
We got back onto shore and enjoyed the most stunning sunset of my life holding hands and staring into each others eyes. It was cinematically romantic :)
回到岸上，我们手牵手，深情地互望。享受着我这一生中最迷人的日落手牵着手。电影里的情节，实在浪漫哦：）
Turning on the waterworks
開動水龍頭
Then came a huge shift of emotions. That night I had to prepare for the big crying scene. I remember being told once that the audience love to see the lead girl suffer. So my moment came. I prepared myself for hours starting dinner putting myself in the mood that would allow me to cry, except every time before tears would come pouring I would tell myself that I’m strong and disallow it. Then I would continue with the thought process of bringing myself down... and again just before I wanted to cry, I would stop myself and tell myself ‘I won’t cry. I won’t cry’. So this continued for a few hours until just before the camera started rolling. As the camera began to roll, the emotions that I held back for the past few hours were simply to hard to bare... and being strong was out of the question. I fell to my knees and the waterworks began... I had taken off my contact lens by then and couldn’t see everyone too clearly. After the scene ended... I got up and realized that a crowd had emerged around the beach to watch me cry. It was pretty weird. The weirdest thing was some Japanese tourists asking to take photos with me with my makeup rundown onto my cheeks and tears all over my face.
情绪准备就绪 情绪上有了巨大的变化。那天晚上，有场哭戏。我得培养情绪。有人说，要有收视率，女主角要有惨痛的经历，受过煎熬，观众才会喜欢。从晚餐前的几个小时开始，我就开始培养情绪，调整我的心情。每次当眼泪就快掉落时，我都回告诉我自己，我不能哭！我得坚强。连续几次都是如此。频频告诉我自己，我不能哭。尽力的压抑着那想哭的冲动。直至正式开拍后，我再也压抑不住。我在镜头前，完全失去控制，我终于哭了！为了这场哭戏，我把我的隐性眼镜拿下，什么也看不太清晰了。导演一喊“咔”，我的心情终于渐渐地平复下来，同时也意识到周围挤满了人群围绕着海滩，看着我哭。感觉非常奇怪。更奇怪的是，就算我把妆给哭花了，一些日本游客竟要求与我合照留念。实在不可思议。
That night I couldn’t sleep despite an early 4am call time the next day to the big island. It’s hard you know... pulling yourself out of that state. You give so much of yourself into a scene and you convince yourself into a certain mindset - in this case, a very negative one... and then trying to snap out of it and be all happy again... Your mind starts to wonder... who am I? How do I really feel? Can I really fool myself into feeling something so different? Or do I actually feel that way and I’m simply denying it. Anyway... it’s a mind screw haha
隔天早上4点，我有个通告，但我就偏偏睡不着。花了心思，感情培养出的情绪，想要抽出，确实不容易。更何况，这是一次那么悲痛的心情。真的好辛苦哦！一时之间，你仿佛忘了自己到底是谁，情绪的错乱，现实与虚幻，什么是真，什么是假。。。我自己也摸不着头脑，哈哈哈
Many firsts in this series... My first onscreen kiss!
种种的第一。。。我的初吻！
Tomorrow is another day they say...
有人说，明天又是另一个开始。。。
The next morning, we got on a little plane over to big island. I finally shook off the depression from the night before and we drove around the hillsides and lava fields enjoying the scenery along the way... we went to see the volcano (which erupted that morning!!!) and drove past the most southest point in the USA. It was refreshing soaking up the beautiful morning rays. At some point, I was soo excited and full of life that I vowed never to miss another sunrise or sunset again. Well that vow was short-lived. Hehe waking up at early hours has never been my forte.
Oh, did I mention Peter is also a pretty good driver! We had fun blasting music on the radio and cruising with zero traffic! The evening of shooting ended with my first onscreen kiss on the mountain top... which was interesting to say the least... hahahaha
隔天一早，我们乘搭一架小型飞机来到了“大岛”。我终于摆脱了昨天的悲伤。沿着山坡和熔岩，欣赏着大自然，让我的心情轻跃多了。 一路上我们也经过刚于尽早爆发的火山。实在不可思议。吸收着清晨的阳光，感觉。。。漂亮。我誓言从此不可错失任何晨曦或晚霞。可惜啊，这誓言不成就！因为，早起并不是我的强项啊！我太爱我的床了！哈哈哈
So here’s what happened... Ken - the director says, alright you two lovebirds, walk up this path and say your lines (no mention of a kiss right?!) in my mind, I figured... I guess they will shoot it separately and cut it together..? so anyway, we did as Ken told and walked up - said our lines and as we finished our lines Peter turns to face me. I am in the moment, and another moment goes by and another moment goes by.
事情是这样的。。。导演对这我俩说，你们俩，沿着这小径走去，别忘了台词噢（他没提到接吻吧？！）我心想，或许吻戏将以科技剪接完成？我也就没想太多。我们就这样走着，退了台词。忽然，Peter面转向我。等着。。。一分一秒过去了 。。。
Silence.
现场一片安静。
Then I’m thinking in my head: ‘wow he’s looking real deep into my eyes, this is getting awkward! Why isn’t Ken cutting?’
他深深地望着我，好尴尬阿！怎么导演还不喊咔呢？
Before I could collect my thoughts and figure out what’s happening... Peter is already leaning forward for the kill (I MEAN KISS) and my heart panics! ‘Holyyyycraappppp...... hereee we gooooo’ and his lips touch mine and we kiss.
我还没来得及整理我的思绪，他已慢慢的靠了过来。我的心蹦蹦地跳着。啊！他吻了我！轻柔的双唇，啊。。。
I froze!
我整个人呆了！
Yes. I froze. At that moment, I totally forgot how to kiss...
哈，我确实呆住了。一时之间，我忘了如何接吻。。。
I didn’t know what to do with my hands, I didn’t know what to do with my body, my head or anything! I felt like a teenager experiencing her first kiss. Anyway, I quickly tried to sort out my scrambled thoughts which were like eggs and toast and I decide that I should move my hands up to hold him or ‘DO SOMETHING’ I remember hearing my head say... except my hand gets caught under his big coat as I lift them and it looks like I’m grabbing his butt! And finally..... after what seemed like a century - Ken said ‘cut’.
这突如其来的吻，让我完全失去知觉。失去了方向感，仿佛初吻的感觉，完全不知道該怎麼反影。不过，很快的，我回过神来，我告诉自己，我该伸出我的手，紧紧地抱住他。但偏偏我的手不听使唤。在想抱他的那一刻。。。我的手被他的大衣给扣住了，从镜头看去，犹如我正抓住他的屁股！导演终于喊了一声“咔”。短短的几分钟，感觉有如一世纪。
I swear I could hear them laughing although that could also be in my head and I turned away from the camera and felt my face go bright red - which never happens!!!! I don’t blush! and I felt like a tomato just roasted and fresh out of the oven. My face was so warm and gooey you could eat it.
从来不脸红的我，我憋过脸，背向着镜头，感觉我脸通红！全身发软，红通通的。我只听见工作人员们在一旁大笑。换了是我，我想我也会大笑吧。
Yes. So THAT was my first onscreen kiss - obviously we couldn’t use that shot of me ‘seemingly’ touching Peter’s butt so we had to do it again - except this time I was prepped on what was going to happen. It was... hm... interesting to say the least... and probably I’ll remember it for years to come. And by the way, it’s so much easier to kick someone’s ass!
就这样，我献上了我的“初吻”。很显然的，刚拍的那场吻戏不被导演接受。得重拍。有了上一次的经验，这次显得容易多了。我将会是我永远的回忆。无论如何，与武打戏比起来，都是武打戲轻松多了！哈哈
The Hawaiin crew laughed about the whole situation. I overheard in the back ‘Wow, can’t believe it took them 3 episodes to kiss! If this were an American series, he’d be taking her back to his room in episode 1!’ Haha so I guess moral of the story is Cheers to cultural differences! :P
整个夏威夷的制作组都笑开了！有人喊道“真是这样吗？他们拍了三集，现在才接吻？这要是美国剧集，男主角早就把女主角带进房咯！哈哈哈。我想这大概是基于不一样的文化吧！

Interview for South China Morning Post
Saturday, May 7, 2011 12:00AM / Members only
The FULL interview Exclusive for YOU ;-)
1. How did you get start as model? What's the first project about? and how old were you then? (13?)
I was 13 when I did my first modeling job. It was a soy sauce ad for the newspapers. haha. I was tense and nervous at the time and my smile was unnatural as I didn't really know what I was doing - and soy sauce wasn't exactly something most teenagers get excited about. It came out and all my schoolmates saw it. It became the talk of the town - not in a 'wow she's so cool' but a 'hey that's the soy sauce girl' kinda way. Unfortunately, because I was going to a very strict Chinese local school, my appearance in the newspapers was frowned upon by the school.
I later learned that smiling shouldn't be forced by changing your mouth shape, rather a real smile should emanate from the heart through the eyes. I haven't had a problem smiling naturally since.
2. Before that, had you ever thought of being a model? and was there any difference between your expectation and the "reality"?
Actually no. I had no concept of my appearance/ looks when I was younger.. Since I was one of the only eurasian girls going to a local Chinese school, my looks stood out like a sore thumb. My nickname was 'ugly duckling' in primary school and I dreamt of looking the same as the other girls. I wanted jet black hair and beautiful dark eyes to fit in... I couldn't understand why my hair and eyes were brown and I was so pale.
By the time I got scouted at 13 years old... I wasn't really sure what to make of it. I figured whatever, I'll try it. I have nothing to lose and I was only doing it part-time anyway. Since I didn't really have much expectations, it wasn't too hard. Most girls that get into modeling find the rejection part the hardest. We go to castings and a lot of times clients will tell you to your face you're too fat, too short, not pretty enough, too white, too tanned, too this or too that... then to find you've lost the job to another girl. It's hard not to take it personally and think you're not good enough. The truth is, you can't let it get to you. Clients have a very specific image/ character in mind. If they are looking for a Meg Ryan, and you look like Megan Fox, it doesn't mean one's better than the other. For me, I was just in disbelief every time I scored a job, not getting one was a given, getting one was a bonus.
3. As a whole, what is the attractiveness/ satisfaction of modelling or being a model?
The attractiveness of being a model in the beginning are probably the glamour, the clothes, the make up, the attention, the fast cash.
After a while though you realize that there's a lot more to be gained. For one, models become extremely independent. I think models are some of the only people who are never afraid to travel alone, to explore news places, they are incredibly good at reading maps after hundreds of go-sees (i.e. castings). They have thick skin and are forced in many ways to figure out who they really are very early on in life. You see, if you base your sense of identity on your appearance alone as a model, you can easily be sucked into a big black hole. So it does help one to get to know themselves better. For some - it comes as an easy lesson, for others, they learn it the hard way. You get to know your body pretty well, you either become health conscious (the easy way) or you take the wrong path and you don't eat (which can be a painful experience for you and your loved ones in the long run). Either way, the satisfaction comes from self-discovery. Modeling also brings out ones' insecurities and issues very quickly as it is a very fast-moving, in some ways cut throat, industry. This has it's pros and cons but I firmly believe that the first step to change comes from awareness. So being a model is like being thrown into the deep end of the pool and learning how to swim and survive. Having said this, when you do survive, and most of us do... you've learned some very valuable lessons on the way...and you would've met some very diverse and interesting people and traveled to some very culturally different places. THAT's satisfying!
4. Do you regard modelling as a career and can be treated as a full time job? how do you find it? any hard time you experienced and how did you manage to overcome it?Yes. I do regard modeling as a career and for many people it is a full time job. However, I think it is a short career, as most girls can only work till they are 30 if they keep themselves well-maintained.
I think the hardest thing about modeling is the ambiguity and lack of stability. It's very seasonal and often you find yourself either working your butt off shooting 17 hour days or you're lounging around with nothing to do. It's also very difficult to manage your finances as money comes in in chunks of lump sums and it requires a lot of discipline not to splash it all out in one go. You have to manage your finances so that the amount in the bank can be spread across several months. That makes it hard to save and quite stressful. When I first started modeling full-time I'd spend my free time worrying about when the next job will come... which is a huge waste of time. I later learned that it was best to use that spare time to further my skills. Because I am interested in a long-term career in acting and music, I spend my spare time now taking classes, training in the gym/ in martial arts, song-writing, producing and recording.
5. To you, what makes a successful/ professional model? (skills, traits, network, etc)
A successful model is one who takes every failure not as a failure but as a success in learning what not to do the next time.
People think job interviews are hard and they stress about it all the time! When you're a model, every day you're interviewing for a job.
Other things that contribute to success include: discipline. discipline. discipline and networking skills. It's a job. See it as a job and not as play and think of how you can increase your value to be better at it. Having said this, if you pick modeling as a career, learn to love it. The happy and the hard bits. I truly believe that success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. So if you get the balance right, you should be able to be happy every time you succeed and every time you 'seemingly fail'.
6. Is it true that more and more people in HK, teenagers in particular, are gonna be models owing to the success of "lan mo"?
I don't know...7. Do you think they (those who want to be models) have wrong perception of modelling in general?
Yes. Generally speaking and I am generalizing - I think they do. I think there are a lot of people who do not question what is shown to them by the media and believe everything they are told. Unfortunately, the perception of modeling that is portrayed in the media tends to be a little superficial and I wish more of what really goes on is revealed. Modeling is a career, not some big fashion party full of boos and pretty people. Like any career it should be taken seriously and girls who want to start modeling should adopt the same professional attitude as they would if they were to get a job in the finance world. It's not an easy road... Who said life was easy, right?
8. As a professional and well-known model, could you give some advises to the new comers (DOs and DON'Ts)?
DO finish school and preferably university before taking on modeling full-time. It's a short-lived career and if you think you can waltz through life as a model, think again. Be smart.
DO listen to your parents when they nag you about picking up your room, showing up on time, keeping a smile when someone criticizes your behaviour. The best models are those who can take directions, show up on time for work, and keep a smile no matter what is thrown at them. Discipline is key.
DONT spend all your money drinking and partying when you model as that's the best way to 1) get fat 2) be strapped for cash on a rainy day 3) end up with bad skin & wrinkles - your career will be even more short-lived - trust me.
DONT think you need to buy the latest trendy bag/ coat as seasons and trends change faster than your mood swings. Stay fit and you'll look good in anything.
DO maintain your self-esteem and confidence. What clients don't tell you is that looks count 60%. There are a million gorgeous looking girls out there. What will distinguish you from another ultimately comes down to the 40% which is confidence and personality.
DONT be arrogant. What goes up must come down.
DONT base your identity on your looks - it's a dark and windy road.
DO realize that as you become more successful, you will be in the eye of the public... and a great responsibility comes with that. If you end up having a few moment of fame, think of what you can do that will make the world a better place.
DONT be fake - it's just annoying. If you think all models are fake, you're spending too much of your time watching TV and believing what's being fed to you.
DONT get all obsessed with how much you weigh on the scale - muscle is heavier than fat. Tone is much better than skin and bones.
Extra Tips:
DO Get a portfolio of photos together - diversity is key! Always keep your photos up to date
DO Learn how to act - look in the mirror and try to play different characters - challenge yourself. Learn not to overact but to feel the emotions and let it come from your eyes.
DO your research - read lots of magazines, learn some poses - copy at first and then create your own
Girls - DO Shave your legs/ armpits please
DO Stay charming and on time.
9. Know that you are not only a model but an all-round artist. what's the line between model and celebrity to you?A model represents something, a product, a service, a company.A celebrity is represented... By the media to bring pleasure and celebration to the people.A model is not necessarily a celebrity. And sometimes a celebrity not necessarily a model - depending on the basis of the celebrity's fame.The best celebrities in my opinion are those who also represent some sort of value/ opinion that is beneficial to their audience, to society. They are essentially good role models too.
10. How could you keep on equipping yourself as professional model? (practising, mock casting?!)Learn from other models. Take advice from the people you work with - trust your agency and always listen to them... as they've been doing this much longer than you have. Reinvent yourself by reinventing your look constantly. Learn more languages - a lot of TV commercials require some sort of acting...
11. Do you work with agent at the moment? if yes, how could you manage the relationship? (or briefly describe how a job be taken and done normally)
Yes, I'm exclusive to Calcarries models in HK. They propose me to clients and send me to castings. And when the client books me for jobs... I trust them to negotiate for me and I make myself available whenever they need me. I always trust them to have my best interest at heart. And I see them as my family in many ways. Even if you are the hottest girl, you are nobody without the support of your agency. Again, don't be arrogant.
12. Is the demand for modelling booming in these years? If yes, what kind (hard photo, commercial, etc) and in what region (mainland as the rocketing luxury market?)
Yes and no. The HK modeling industry has shrunk a bit after the recent economic crisis, it is only recently starting to pick up. The China market is huge and there are a lot of jobs there... so a lot of the agencies are getting work for the girls' across the borders... which is great for us as the RMB is high! More savings there. There also seems to have been an increased relocation of productions to Singapore and Thailand because of the lower production costs in those countries which means more girls are being being scouted locally from there. All in all, the industry is shifting...
13. Any other things you want to share regarding modelling as job (career).
I feel like I've already written a book. haha
14. Your current plan (music, etc)
On the acting side: I just did my first Hollywood Movie - Man with the Iron Fist and I just finished a series along with my co-star Peter Ho called Wish Upon A Star.
I'm working on a few music videos for some of my own original works and finished my English album which will hopefully be released soon. My Chinese album is in the works.
I'm continuing the modeling at the same time and am shooting more and more in Mainland China.

Thursday, Apr 14, 2011 4:40PM / Members only
Sawadee Kaaaaa!!!
So if you still haven't seen episode 2... here it is! Watch it before you read my behind the scenes as it does contain spoilers!!!!
你要是还没看第二集就快看了。。。 看完了再看我這個博客吧，要不然你未必知道我在說什麼...
优酷：http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjU2NDU5Nzg0.html
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ5UTf4p8i8
哦！ 不知我有没有向你提起，那水啊，实在好冷好冷！！！哈哈哈:)
The inside scoop. 内幕劲爆。
So the storyline in the bangkok episode is actually really personal to me... As it was inspired by a true event. The blindfold, the surprises of the spa, the restaurant, the surprise trip in the end.
你知道吗，在泰国的那一集里的故事，跟我有很密切的关系。。。从被蒙住眼睛开始，到安排妥当的水疗至进餐的餐厅，还有惊喜之旅，一切都是改编自我本人的真实事件。
This is how the real story went...
I once dated a nice man who was kidnapped by pirates and the pirates left me 5 envelopes marked with different times of the day. The directions within each envelope were to be followed precisely or the man would be in grave danger. So to save his life, I obeyed.
故事是这样的。。。 曾经和我约会过的一位好人不知怎的，被海盗劫持。海盗给我留下5个信封。信封写着不同的时间标记。而我必须随从信封上的每一个指示，要不然该名男子将面临生命的危险。因此，为了救他的命，我服从了。
Envelope 1 ordered me to eat in a certain restaurant and leave behind in a safe place, my wallet, my bag and everything I was carrying except my phone. Envelope 2 took me to a florist who gave me a bouquet of flowers. Envelope 3 brought me to a spa for a nice day treatment. Envelope 4 took me to an alleyway where I was ordered to enter into a taxi with the license plate XXXXX Inside the envelope was a blindfold and I was ordered to put on the blindfold and someone would come join me in the front seat. So I did and before you knew it... I found myself at the airport bags all packed ready to fly to a secret destination...
信封1命令我在某酒楼吃饭。而饭后，我必须在一个安全的地方，留下我的一切。除了我的手机，什么都不能带走。信封2带我去了间花店。那卖花的给了我一束鲜花。信封3，地点是超棒的水疗护理中心。让我有个舒服的下午。信封4，指示把带我入一条小巷子，并且进入一辆已在等候的出租車，车牌为XXXXX。之后带上眼罩，静静地等着。有人提出会来参加我的前排座位。車開了一段很長的時間，就把我帶到飛機場。。。驚喜就是飛往一個浪漫秘密的目的地。
The end... well, not telling ya! ha!
结果？。。。不告诉你！哈哈哈！
Oh Thailand, what a beautiful country. Starwood brought me back to this beautiful place for the second episode of 'Wish Upon A Star'. We stayed at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Bangkok which was located by the riverside and the restaurants (especially the thai one) had really good food!
泰国，好漂亮的国家。因为喜达屋浪漫片《星愿同行》，让我有机会再次回到这魅力无穷的地方。并入住河畔边的曼谷皇家兰花喜来登。不仅地点方便，其餐厅（尤其是他们的泰国餐厅）更是美食的天堂！
Arun Wat Temple 郑皇庙
We went to the temple to shoot the fortune teller scene. I walked up and down the stairs in 3 inch heels! For those who have been there, you will remember that the stairs are extremely steep and have no railings... so it was actually kinda scary... but I said my prayers and asked for the blessings of buddha and made my way up and down multiple times. I gotta admit my thighs hurt for days afterwards. It got to a point where I could feel my legs go jello. Did I ever tell you I have a phobia of stairs? I fell down 2 flights of stairs when I was a kid and badly hurt my back, so this was probably the toughest scene for me... for some it probably would've been a piece of cake :P
我们到庙里拍摄算命的一场戏。还记得，我当时穿着3英寸的高跟鞋徘徊上下楼梯！到过那里的朋友们，你一定记得那非常陡峭的阶梯，没有栏杆...确实让人有点胆缺...还好，我诚心祈祷并向佛陀请求平安，让我顺利上下多次，完成拍摄。哈哈，我得承认，接下来的几天，我的大腿还真有点感觉肌肉酸痛。我有没有向你提过，我其实有楼梯恐惧症？这都因为在我还是个孩子时，不知怎的，我从阶梯跌了一跤，伤了我的背。所以，在拍摄当中，因为害怕，我的这双腿啊，差点都不听使唤，腿软得像果冻般。这场戏，以一般人来说，可能是小事一桩。但对我来说，可是最辛苦的一场。
Riding around in the boat. 乘风作浪，好刺激哦
Peter and I were put on a separate boat as they filmed us from another. It was really beautiful, going around these little houses that were built on stilts on top of the water. These older women would go around in smaller boats from house to house selling noodles, and rice and other products. People living there seemed to be so happy... living this serene and simple life. It was nice. It gave me a sense of perspective and gratitude. Many times, the simplest things are the best. That's one thing that I don't really like about HK. It's so materialistic at times that you start to think you're missing out on something if you don't acquire the latest pair of shoes/ handbag/ this/ that. But the truth is... we don't need all these material goods. Everything that we need to feel content, satisfied and blissful lie in the simple things in life.
Peter和我乘着小船，绕着高跷建立在水面上的小房子，真是漂亮。这种感觉真好。看着这些妇女们乘着她们的小船挨家挨户地推销面条，大米和其他产品等等。我们可从这简单，写意的生活中看见她们的欢乐。这宁静的生活和简单的生活方式，让我有了不一样的观点和感激之心油然而生。让我意识到，人生无需要求太多，最简单的东西其实最好。与香港比较。样样都讲求物质，太现实了。往往要是您错过购买任何时尚奢华品，您会忽然感觉彷徨，迷失。但事实是...我们根本就不需要拥有。我们所需要的一切，其实就建于生活中的简单。
As we sailed back towards the hotel, Peter had a good laugh as we hit a bigger wave and the water splashed all over my face and mouth. He made it a point to remind me that we saw an older man washing his feet in the water earlier on... but luckily... what goes around comes around... as he laughed so freely at my misfortunes. We hit an even bigger wave and the water... well, let's say it hit the back the back of his throat! hahahahaha Fun times!
在驶回酒店的途中，因为我被突如其来的冲浪给打着，海水溅了我的脸和嘴，这情景把Peter给逗得捧腹大笑。害得我好狼狈。呵呵呵。。。您有听说过吧，善有善报，恶有恶报？在他因为我的不幸，笑得疯狂时，我们再次与另一则大浪碰上！后果，他把浪水都吞啦！yummy 呵呵呵
Would you trust me as captain of the boat?? haha

A good team 最佳搭档
If you are Peter's fan, you'd know that Peter hurt his ankle really really badly before coming to Bangkok. He was in a lot of pain and his foot was black and swollen. I've personally seen such a bad sprain before... he had to be pushed around in a wheelchair for parts of his trip. The director, client and agency were really quick to adapt to the circumstances and made sure that he had to walk as little as possible so he could heal faster in time for Hawaii. So if you're wondering why he wasn't walking much, you know why now. Despite the constant pain, he wasn't a grump at all. He maintained a smile and a professionalism that was admirable. I'd probably be cursing if it were the other way around... I must say though, that I'm really impressed by how flexible the whole team were in handling the situation. They really made an effort to make the series comfortable for each actor and person involved. I must say, I've been very lucky as I've only worked with really awesome people. Did I tell you? I miss traveling with them!
Peter的粉丝们，你因该也知道Peter在来曼谷时，弄伤了他的脚踝。看得出他好痛苦哦，他的脚肿胀又瘀的。在曼谷的拍摄，他得靠轮椅代步。实在辛苦。为了确保能安全的康复以便顺利参与夏威夷的拍摄，全体制作单位很快地做出适当的调整，好让他尽可能少步行。尽管持续的疼痛，他好专业哦！永远脸带笑容的他实在令人钦佩。换了是我，我肯定哀声满天！总的来说，制作单位的灵活处理方式，给我留下了深刻印象。他们的努力及为他人着想的态度都是一流的！我很幸运。我好想念他们！好想念和他们一起旅行！

Extending my trip 旅程延续
After we finished shooting, I extended my trip to spend a few days with my lovely girlfriend Paula. I stayed with her and we had a girls' cook off. We had such a blast! I was the fortunate one as I acted as judge that night at the Thai Iron Chef competition. I miss her dearly!
拍摄完毕后，我和我可爱的女友Paula决定多呆了几天。我们决定来个厨房之战。太好玩了！作为泰国料理铁人比赛的裁判，感觉超爽。好想念她哦！
I also went to see Taprod - who were the production team on the Ponds campaigns that I've done. It was sooooo great to see them! They just finished a rejoice campaign and were having a wrap party. That's one thing that sucks about our industry. You spend months or weeks working with a team and you start to treat them as your family and then the project is over and you've moved on.
同时我也探望了Taprod – Ponds广告活动的制作公司。能再见到他们实在高兴！他们刚刚完成了另一个品牌活动的宣传制作，并举办了一个庆功宴。你知道吗，做我们这一行的经常花上数个月或数周与同一班工作人员相处。很自然的你开始把他们当做家人看待，一旦活动结束后，大家便各分东西。忽然间让您感觉空虚，生活似乎失去了某样东西。

Behind the scenes in Paris for Starwood series 'Wish Upon a Star'
Tuesday, Apr 5, 2011 5:41PM / Members only
This series has been an absolute blast. I mean, how can one possibly say anything bad about being paid to travel and to stay in luxurious hotels around the world? It sure as hell doesn’t happen every day, but when it does happen... well, let’s just say it’s totally awesome!
能参与此剧集的制作，感觉超棒。是一次难得的经验。能够免费到各国旅行又能住进世界所有豪华精选的酒店，还有什么好说的？如此丰厚的待遇可不是天天都有的哦！赞！
Flying Business on Cathay 国泰航空商务舱
I flew to Paris on Cathay business and the trip started with a nice dose of hospitality and a really chic Agnes B travel kit. Business class on Cathay is probably one of the best I’ve experienced because the food is really really good. Usually plane food is crap, but with business on Cathay they really serve you the good stuff, the touch of lime on your fruit, the really yummy salads & duck breasts and not to mention the kiwi juice with coconut cocktail - amazing.
乘搭国泰航空飞往巴黎，让我感觉亲切，完全被受可呵护。同时还享有由国泰航空商务舱所赠送的Agnes B小型旅行套，时尚又精致。国泰航空商务是我所经历过服务最棒的，因为它的食物确实超美味。通常飞机上的餐饮对我来说都不怎样，但对国泰航空商务舱来说，他们样样都为你设想周到，完全顾及客户服务，为你呈现最好的，最美味的美食。一点都不马虎。超正美味的沙拉和鸭胸，还有猕猴桃汁与椰子鸡尾酒，实在令人难忘。
Gay Paris 快乐的巴黎
We arrived in Paris (we meaning the director Ken & I as we were flying over together) and checked in at the Westin. The Westin is one of Starwood’s hotels. The decor and ambience is chic but elegant and traditional. The view outside the suite was nothing less than the Eiffle Tower and the beds were super comfy. The cocktails at the bar were really yummy and the waiters/ waitresses were pretty cute too so there was definitely eye candy there. I love Paris, the romance, the style. Parisians really know how to live life, they know how to appreciate their food & wine, the love so fully and passionately and they dress well because they enjoy feeling good about themselves. They take the time to live life and that’s important, in my opinion.
我们终于抵达巴黎（我们指的是导演Ken还有我），并入住巴黎旺斯姆威斯汀酒店。巴黎旺斯姆威斯汀酒店是喜达屋的酒店之一。酒店内的装饰和氛围时尚别致，传统中帶有典雅。套房外有巴黎铁塔陪伴，房内则有超级舒服的床。这种生活，羡慕吧？除了酒吧美味的鸡尾酒，其服务员都好帅，好漂亮哦！实在让我眼前一亮。我爱巴黎，我更爱她浪漫的风格。巴黎人很懂得享受，他们懂得欣赏他们的食物，美酒，如此完整的爱从满了热情，同时他们也懂得如何打扮。这都因为他们很享受自我感觉。他们懂得安排，慢慢地细细地品尝生活。这对我而言，是很重要的。
The Naked Man 裸男记
The funniest thing happened when I arrived however. I checked into my room, hung up my clothes and took out my bath essentials - the usual stuff and then I decided I’d go down to check out the hotel. So I opened my door and the first thing I see is a NAKED man (in his mid 20s) running down the corridor right at me! (my room was at the end of the corridor) He runs in zig zags covering his ‘essentials’ and says ‘sorry’ with a big grin on his face. I immediately close my door to excuse him, cracking up behind the door as I close it and I wait 3-4 mins for him to find his way out - wherever it is that he is running to. Then I open the door and a security guard was pacing outside in the corridor, he looked at me angrily as I had the biggest smile on my face as though I was hiding the naked man in my room. I walked out embarrassingly to the elevator and kept my eyes fixed on the doors as the security guard scrutinizes me from the side. I slipped right into the elevator as soon as it opens to avoid the awkward moment. And THAT was my first Parisian experience - hahahaha
最有趣的事情就发生在我到达的那一天。我进了我的房间，把衣服给挂了起来等等。。。然后便想下楼走走。怎知一把门打开，迎接我的却是一名裸男子（约20多岁左右）匆匆地由走廊向着我跑！（我的房间就在走廊的尽头）他一路跑着，一手遮住身体的重要部位，不停地说'对不起'，同时掩不住脸上的笑容。我立即将门关上，等了约3-4分钟后再开门。刚好有一名保安正在走廊外踱步，他愤怒地看着我，仿佛是我窝藏赤裸男子。我尴尬的走向电梯，直视着那扇门。电梯门一开，我以最快的脚步进入电梯以免尴尬时刻的延续。这就是我在巴黎的初体验。哈哈哈
Peter & I destinies locked? (*Contains spoilers)
Peter与我，情缘锁定？（內容會透露故事情節）
So if you've seen episode 1, you will remember the scene where Peter and I are on the bridge with all the locks. For those who are wondering, this bridge and the locks actually exist, so it's not like the crew went early morning with a hundred locks and locked them to the sides. People actually believe (superstitious people, of course) that a couple will stay together forever if you go with your partner and lock your destinies together in the form of padlocks onto the side of the bridge and throw away the keys.
如果你看过第1集，你会记得Peter和我在那锁头重重的爱情桥上的那场戏。对于那些不知道的观众，这座大桥和锁头确实存在。 您可别以为是制作人员的杰作噢。人们真的相信（尤其是那些迷信的人）如果你与你的情人一同在桥上扣上你的锁头，再将锁匙丢进河里，你们将永远在一起，永不分开。
So, here we are, Peter and I, trying to figure out the digital lock that I've been given... being the gentleman that Peter is, he helps me by locking his padlock to mine. Clank - that was easy. It's all cool, except when it came time to unlock it, the combination number didn't work! So the crew laughed and hissed as I scrambled frantically to unlock it! I mean Peter is nice but we did just meet, it's a little early to be tied down in the 'relationship' wouldn't you say???!!! hahaha Luckily we managed to get it to unlock - so lucky for him hahaha no need to be stuck with me for life! :P
制作单位给了我们俩2把锁为道具，好让我们为接下来的一场戏做准备。彩排时，我们重复的把锁头扣上，在以工作人员所给的密码把锁头解开。而每一次的彩排都由风度翩翩的Peter将他的锁头扣住我的那把。直至我正式开拍的第一个镜头！无论我怎样开它，那锁头就是开不成！就这样，迷信的工作人员就笑着说你们彼此命中注定，锁定终生! 要真是这样，那就糟了。我才刚认识他吔！还好，我终于成功地把锁头给解了！
PS Who needs a marriage certificate if you have padlocks! haha
有了锁头，谁需要一纸结婚证书！哈哈哈
the French - an interesting fact
So I'm sure you've heard someone say that the French are not very friendly towards tourists when visiting Paris. Well, turns out, that there's a piece of very important information that guidebooks leave out - as I was informed by the local crew while I was there. It turns out that the French are very particular about saying hi and bye. And tourists, very often, who are too embarrassed to test their French speaking skills, may not say 'Bonjour' because they are too shy. Well it turns out that the lack of a 'hi' indicates to our fellow Parisian that we think we are superior to them and that's why they may come across 'cold' back as a result. So I tested this theory and said 'bonjour' not only to every shopkeeper, house-keeping person, but to every French man/ woman that I met eyes with. And voila! people responded very warmly and open and receptive towards me. So unless you want to walk around the streets of Paris with your eyes glued to the ground. It's bonjour monsieur and bonjour mademoiselle.
法国人 — 一个有趣的事实
有人说，法国人对游客的态度并非友善。嗯，经过一番研究后，我发现其实不然。这是一项非常重要的一条信息。由当地工作人员告知，原来，法国人非常讲究。他们很注重礼仪，如打招呼，说声再见、谢谢等。很多时候，因为对语言的不巧，游客通常不好意思以法语表达，因此连声“你好”也说不出口。嗯，这一举啊，使得法国人以为我们自认地位比他们高，因此以'冷淡'的态度作为回应。有了这一理论，我便随即实行我的实验。我决定逢人就说'Bonjour'。瞧！结果反应非常热烈！每一位我所接触过的法国人都很温馨地，诚恳地与我有所互动。所以，除非你不想真正的了解法国，享受法国。千万要记得哦，Bonjour先生，Bonjour小姐。
Thanks for reading!
谢谢你的阅读！
Au revoir.

Starwood Series with Peter Ho
( 繁 | 简 )Wednesday, Mar 16, 2011 4:45PM / Members only
Hi all!
Long time no blog :) I know, please forgive me... :( After shooting Man with the Iron Fist, I've been involved with shooting a web series with Peter Ho for Starwood. We've been shooting all over the world and it all started in Paris. I can't give away where we've been shooting as there is a competition out there for who can guess our second episodes' destination following Paris. So that means I can't even really blog about my adventures until the episode for that destination is out.
But here's a teaser for Episode 1 :) enjoy!
