  To boost her popularity and create higher projected sales for her upcoming debut album, my good friend, Linda Chung, requested that I'd be the co-star (by that, I mean "real-star") in the music video for her new single, "二人世界" (roughly translated as “Two Person's World”).  This was my first time performing in a music video and I was EXCITED, but as usual people on set mistook my excitement (and my innate professionalism) as annoying irritation…

   

  

  I was simply letting Calvin (my good friend and hairstylist) understand the urgency of attaining instant handsomeness and making my hair beautifully radiant.

   

  

  Looking back, I guess Calvin had every right to be a tiny bit annoyed, but I think plunging the back of his comb into my eye (minutes before I was required on set) was a bit over-zealous on his part...

   

  

  I needed to lay down some ground rules before the cameras began rolling...

   

  

  I don't remember teaching her that; she must have stolen an Ng Family Chinese Martial Arts Association t-shirt from me.

   

  

  I really didn't have the guts to say anything after she landed that well-placed left hook to my jaw the first time around, but that doesn't stop me from superimposing a thought-balloon onto this picture.

   

  

  Finally, it was my turn to show Linda what it means to be a professional.

   

  

  The director was pretty demanding...

   

  

  I'm pretty sure this shot wasn't included in the director’s storyboards...

   

  

  But all the abuse I took was worth it! I took my pay check and immediately spent it on Soul Calibur IV!!!

   

  In All Seriousness

  

  In all seriousness, I like to give a big thank you to Linda and her record company for giving me an opportunity to appear in her music video.  Please pick up her debut album when it hits the stores next month, because if I can convince her and her record company that my presence in music videos are crucial to increased album sales, then I can acquire more sweet gigs like this one and be able afford both Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5 when they get released for my Xbox 360!
