Last Saturday was the 2nd annual Halloween party for AliveNotDead. It was a really awesome turnout(jammed to the walls again!) and the costumes were fabulous. When we started this website a couple years ago we were trying to build a community of creative like minded people and although we've done that here with this site, you really feel it when attending one of our functions. Thanks to everyone that showed up and many special thanks to the AnD crew for putting on such a great party. Rock on! Sorry for not having pics... I forgot my camera but there's plenty of awesome shots from other AnD users!
Poker King is a new movie starring Luis Koo and Lau Ching Wan about the exciting game of Texas Hold 'Em poker. Now I've been seeing this ad in the South China Morning Post for the past several days. I'm not sure if it's the theater's fault or South China's typo but either way, it's funny.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YW3TmlslGo&feature=fvw Have you eve noticed that no matter where you travel in the world there are Chinese? This subject has always interested me and I always try to find out about their history. This woman here with the crazy Jamaican accent is a perfect example. Her accent is so rad! She has obviously been in Jamaica for a long long time, most likely born there as the way she laughs as well as attitude are imbibed with Jamaican culture. As I recall the earliest Chinese settled in Jamaica because it was along trade routes from the east and the Chinese are a prominant part of Jamaican culture. In fact many of the most influential producers of reggae (one of my favorite types of music) back in the 70's and 80's were Chinese Jamaicans. Before I moved back to Hong Kong, I used to think Chinese women with British accents were sexy, now after living here for so long I've kind of gotten used to it but a Chinese woman with a Jamaican accent? Now that's sexy! I love everything about Jamaica and it's culture but I still haven't been. Now I gotta go soon!
Been very very busy working like a dog but I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who sent me birthday wishes. My guestbook almost blew up with over 30 pages of birthday comments!
I actually haven't celebrated my birthday since I was 28 because I really don't enjoy being fussed over, it really is just any other day. This year I spent the day at work on Derek Yee's new movie Triple Tap. My parents happened to be in town so Lisa brought them down to set to watch me work. In the 12 years I've been in the business, my parents have only been to set maybe 3 times.
Usually I don't like anyone coming to set because it disturbs my concentration but it was a relatively light day of work plus they wanted to spend my birthday with me. So all in all it was a perfect way to spend the day doing my favorite thing(acting) with my favorite director(Derek Yee) with the people closest to me (Mom, Dad and Lisa).
