  My friend Alice from Hong Kong just sent me this on Facebook...
  
  This might be old news but brings back great memories of the 2 months I spent in Hong Kong and Kowloon!!!
  
  We used the Sham Shui Po and Prince Edward stops. Gotta Love the MTR.

• Step Up 2 directed by Jon Chu

  Monday, Mar 10, 2008 11:51AM / Standard Entry

  This past Friday I went to see Step Up 2, The Streets. I was excited because it is directed by someone from my hometown, Los Altos.  My brother and I saw a trailer for this movie earlier this month and he said, "Hey, it's directed by Jon Chu. He went to my highschool!"  Right away I knew the Chu name for the family owns Chef Chu's, a popular Chinese restaurant in Los Altos. I have never met the guy, but am super psyched that someone from my hometown is doing so well in the film industry.  So I went to see the film and loved it!  Yes, there is the usual teenage romance cheese, but it was all dealt with really quickly in order let the movie flow into the awesome dance sequences featured.  Also, the characters he established were so wonderful and real!  I can't wait to see what Jon Chu is going to direct next.  He should be a AnD too!

• Sunny Sunday

  Monday, Mar 10, 2008 9:17AM / Standard Entry

  Two weeks ago on the commercial shoot I was on, we shot in a mansion in Arcadia, which is right next to the Arboretum (Los Angeles County Botanic Garden).  I live so close to it but I have never been there.  The only thing I knew about it was when I first moved to Pasadena, people told me that peacocks would land in driveways and backyards in the city of Arcadia because they live in the Arboretum and venture out often.
  
  And this was true...during the shooting, we had peacocks just wondering around set and hanging out.  However, despite their beauty...they make noises that resembles an angry dinosaur in movies...
  
  It was such a beautiful sunny Californian day today, so my husband and I decided to pay the Arboretum a visit. Here are our photos!
  
  
  
  
  
  No, the peacocks are not shy at ALL!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  These are taken in the Asian garden. 
  
  
  
  Even the playground is pretty cool!
  
  
  We were both so exhausted after hiking around the Arboretum and did not want to play with our cat MAX when we got home.  Here is MAX, trying to be playful in his box...but looking really pissed off due to our laziness...

• I am Back

  Monday, Mar 3, 2008 12:19PM / Standard Entry

  Hello Everyone...
  
  Sorry I have been MIA for a while. It has been a very insane two weeks. I was Art Coordinating two commercials at the same time for State Farm Insurance.  It is geared towards the North American audience- one spot for Indians and the other for Chinese living in North America.  We had team members  from Bombay, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Taiwan here in LA. 
  
  My Chinese spot's designer is from Hong Kong and the coolest.  Ironically, he mentioned that he also knows some folks from 24 herbs! What a small world. 
  
  I am so exhausted now from only 3-4 hours of sleep each night for two weeks straight...I can finally catch up on some sleep now.
  
  I also got a new camera so I will start posting pictures again soon.
  
  Best, R

  Family and friends have been keeping track of the movies I art directed on better than myself.  I have received many pictures of Blood: The Last Vampire via e-mail lately.  Here are 3 of them and I am getting excited myself.  It is the first time I have seen any photos related to the film go public.  Can't wait for the release this year  ^_^
