After finishing up my latest gig in Singapore, I decided to take a month off to visit my family and friends in
The grand opening of the new Ng Family Chinese Martial Arts Association headquarters location in
After the martial arts demonstration, we began the celebration! Woohoo!
Success!

What it feels like to step into the Ng Family Chinese Martial Arts Association headquarters...
Life in Chi-Town
My daily life during my one-month hiatus in Chicago consisted mainly of me taking a choo-choo into the city to train and teach at the family martial arts school, eating foods absent in Hong Kong, and hanging out with members of both my immediate and kung fu family. It was super-duper.

Alas, my kung fu brothers and sisters wishes me a happy journey with a get-your-ass-back-to-Hong-Kong party...

Workin' and Playin' in Singapore
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Saturday, Sep 26, 2009 12:47AM / Members only
For most of September, I was under the employment of a production company by the name Picstalk in Singapore to choreograph and shoot eight action/stunt/fight sequences for a 13 episode television series dubbed, Mr. and Mrs. Kok, an action-comedic-drama about a married couple of private investigators who solves cases together while experiencing the expected ups and downs of their slightly odd relationship. It was a rewarding production and I was quite happy with the footage that we were able to shoot and paste together. Though we did bust our behinds to best match our envisioned ambition to what was eventually captured on tape, my trip wasn't all just about work as I did manage to celebrate my birthday twice, meet up with some good friends, and hang with some very familiar members of the alivenotdead family (as they happened to be in Singapore for an event that I also took part in), all of which were definitely causes for much joy and merriment!
my home-away-from-home (and base of Farmville operations) in Singapore...
look who's face I found covering the walls of the production office! it's none other than Johnny Lu, not only the new face of Singapore television, but also the homie who recommended me for this gig!
WORK WORK WORK
"is this thing on?"
on location...
"I solemnly promise that I will stab someone in the face if I don't get all my shots in today."
first choreographing the fight sequence, than teaching it to the lead actress of the show, Tan Kheng Hua...
ballroom-dancing-kung-fu...
"I solemnly promise that I will smash this monitor into someone's face if I don't get all my shots in today."
making stuff up + telling people what to do + looking into a tiny monitor = my job
designing the action and picking the angles to capture it...
PLAY PLAY PLAY
on our off days I had a chance to meet up with some pretty super friends...
also had a chance to visit a national landmark and gain confirmation that Faye Valentine did indeed spend her childhood in Singapore...
got a chance to celebrate sister Race-a-Roni's birthday in her home town this year!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...
our producer Pauline and the crew surprised me with a cake and song on the set... notice me enjoying the cake with our hilarious leading man, Mark Lee...
the production crew then took me out to a Korean BBQ the next night! woohoo!
sister Rozy and her lovely family taking time out to celebrate my birth anniversary with me, I was very surprised and quite touched :)
absolutely amazing! I got exactly what I wished and prayed for!
ALIVE NOT DEAD
The Alive boys were in town to screen the Heavenly Kings movie and to do a question-and-answer session at the screening location. Since I was already in Singapore and had the day off, I gladly joined the artiste panel after the showing and had the super-duper opportunity to speak with local Singapore audiences, artistes, and supporters!
looks who's all in town...
pretending to know what I'm talking about during the post-showing discussion panel...
hanging with elvanna and terence...
wished I could have continued to consume more whiskey and the carry-out McDonald's, but alas I had an 8:30am call time the next day...
MISSION COMPLETE
Pauline and crew took us out for an awesome "Phil-is-finally-going-back-to-Hong-Kong" dinner, which included much delicious food...
great food...
...and great people!
final step before heading back to Hong Kong - cutting up the footage and sticking the pieces back together so hopefully it will all make sense when the sequences are broadcasted onto your television sets!
A big THANK YOU to the entire cast and crew of Mr. and Mrs. Kok for making us feel so welcomed and happy during our time on and off the set in Singapore. This whole trip was a very positive experience that I will treasure and remember always. I am happy to say that I have "survived" Singapore and plan on going back for seconds someday soon!

Channel [V] presents: GOING GAGA event at FINDS...
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Friday, Aug 14, 2009 9:58PM / Members only
Was invited as a guest tonight for Channel V's "GOING GAGA" event at FINDS earlier this evening... I don't tend goto these events that often, but it was fun tonight, especially since I bumped into friend and fellow World of Warcraft enthusiast (and one of the VJs for the evening), Lisa S....
they gave me a bunch of mics, and then I proceeded to talk into them...
I was trying really hard to look "tuff" in this photo, but I think merely the fact that I was standing next to the vertically superior Lisa S. immediately made me appear the exact opposite of "tuff"...

Hello everybody! Hope y’all been doing well and good out there. I had spent a good majority of the last several months working in
Though the bustle was about a 45-minute-car-ride away, I did (on a few occasions) find myself taking a day trip to the actual city part of Shanghai with several fellow actors to do a bit of shopping and a great deal of eating...
This picture was taken in April during the first few days of my stay in
Tourists…
Nic and I with the Strikeforce middle-weight champion, Cung Le (who was also working on Bodyguards and Assassins with us). I nearly sprained my jaw trying to bite through his deltoid.
My friend Kate and the stage production that she was a part of were on the Shanghai leg of their tour and a few of the actors from her production was friends with an actor from the production that I was working on, so we all got a chance to grab a dinner and drink out in the city.
On the set.
A metal wing combing over the clouds of a gradient blue sky.
Soon after I returned to
Spurred on by our training sessions in
My Si-Hing, Cliff giving Nic a few words of advice.
Looks like Jen wants to learn how to efficiently punch a person in the face too.
The paparazzi followed us for most of the evening and waited for us to leave the school. Of all the photos they took, they decided to print this one of Nic sucker-punching my sternum while we waited for the elevator outside of my kung fu brother’s Wing Chun school.
Nic and I returned the following Monday (a couple of days ago) to train some more.
Another good session.
And last night, director Teddy Chen invited a few of us out for a dinner and a chat. A good time and good discussion was had by all.
Good times were had, good things are happening, and good happenings are approaching.
