So it's been 3 days since the filming of my new drama "Ying Ging" 刑警

And I've already caught a stomach virus on the 1st night of filming.. non-stop goosebumps and shivers on the 2nd night cuz my character only wears Sleeveless clothing.. lolz.. and today had a slight fever but drank hot liquids all day.. soo i think i'm getting a lil better..

Tho the sickness gets me weak physically.. it's the acting part that i'm worried bout even more.. like is my character believable? Am I a good actress? Are my lines well delievered? What are my relationships with the other characters? There's so many things I wanna figure out.. but it takes time no? One day I might see my character as more of this type of person.. and then another day.. i'll see her more as this other type of person.. so then many things changes.. and the difficult thing about filming a drama.. is that they don't film by timeline of the story.. first day i was filming episode 12 then 2nd day episode 4 5 and 6, then 3rd day 1, 2 and 3.. soo relationships change right away.. and its not just me and one girl or guy, its me and the whole crime investigation team.. and of course i have to remember when i had my hair up or down, or what i was wearing episode 3 scene 17 because in scene 18 i have the wear the same thing.. but it'll be shot i don't know when in the future.. haha

It's soooooooo crazyyy.. At this moment i think i'm learning alot.. because my body's just getting use to the pace of other actors around me.. looking at the next scene while you're changing in the dressing room, fixing your makeup while you're going though the script with other characters.. always have a jacket or big scarf shooting indoors of TVB.. and of course a thermos with your most soothing drink.. mine is currently honey with a touch of ginger.. keeps me warm =)

I have to learn to speak clearly with my mouth but still make it look natural.. especially difficult for me when it comes to cantonese.. haha tho i can read around 70% now.. compared to like 20% when i first came to hk 2.5 years ago... the 9 tones of cantonese is like wahhhh!!  Sometimes because I'm trying to remember the tone of the word, i forget why i'm saying what i'm saying.. haha.. which makes me not so believable right? xP

In a very sleepy state right now so if my grammer or spelling above is off.. forgive me.. but what i do know is that... i'm having fun.. i have a great cast of amazing actors in the new drama.. it's gonna be 2.5 more months of freezing cold so i better take good care of myself.. and I'm just thankful.. of all that I have right now.. =) Keep praying.. cuz it makes all the difference =)

Soo its been a while since I've had a live dance performance... especially one that's for the East Asia Olympic Countdown where i'll be competiting against the team that's representig HK in the actualy Olympics in Dec. >___________<

Jive is not my strength.. but it is a happy dance.. =)

Haha.. soo I guess i'll just have to pray that I do well.. and even if I don't I'll try my best and be my happpiesstttt =D

*RAWRRRRR*

- A request from a new friend:

This is one of the Paso and Waltz dances from last year when I competed in Strictly Come Dancing II =)

A person who creates art.

Seems simple right?

But how many of us have actually  been doing any  "creating" ?

How many have came up with something from your imagination or dared to do something that has never been done before?

How many  have spent the past X amount of years copying or plagiarizing what they've seen succeed in the past?

How many have repeated to do what's "safe" just so they don't have to face criticism from others?

As an artist, don't we have to take the risk of “creating” ?

Yes!

Why spend your life walking in the footsteps of another when you can “create” a path of your own?

We should walk where no man has ever walked before...

And sometimes when you don't feel like walking...

Hop, skip, dance or do whatever your heart tells you to do.

Become a true Artist =)
