Family

Day 2 of shoot on 'Singapore MaMa' ( as the title suggests, it's all about mothers and their stories ) and  I met my family.

My boy...

...who kept hiding his cute face when i tried to take his picture so i snapped this one while he was distracted

My mum...

as she's looking at...

...a picture of us taken back in...just today actually :P

My dad???

Actually...no. That's the owner of the place we shot at. He's a frail old guy in his 80s. That's him IN the 80's.  And this is him as a young man

At a time with no mega gyms and protein drinks...RESPECT. That's the word that came to my mind.

This is TK, our sound guy.

We've worked together on a couple other shoots and I got this role thanks to him. No audition, just his good word. Thanx alot TK! :)

The 'ang pao's in my hand above were props, cos i got married, to my first wife, today.

But no ball&chain can tell 'the fish' wat he can or cannot do :P

Got it? Good! =))

Now, see if you can guess where we went for the next location

Residents of Singapore would have no problem recognising this place

It's an abandoned police headquarters

Here's a shot of an old spiral staircase behind our 'visitation room'

And this is a real life jail cell.

i love the way sunlight shines in from the high grilled window behind me...

...and i just couldn't bring myself to deny y'all a full view of the toilet bowl :P

The cell's probably big enough for 5, maybe 6 inmates. We made do with just 2.

And don't let this pic fool you...

...we had our own light...

Finally , to cap things off on a more auspicious note, our final location.

A shop in Chinatown selling traditional Chinese wedding related stuff.

And i'm reliefed to report: zero-casualties. This is 'the fish', signing off....
