My Radio Interview at 988

I was interviewed at Radio 988 on the 30th Oct 2012. It was fun!

Radio interviews are vanity fairs mostly. That said, I hope that my unusual and very late entry into acting, as shared during the interview, has given others the courage to take action upon the aspirations they (secretly?) harbour. It can be any aspirations, not just about acting.

Life is short. Just do it! A whole new world awaits you! :)

IPS PRISM: Year 2022?

This is Insitute of Policy Studies Singapore PRISM's projection of what Singapore is like in 2022. In involves a lot of audience's contribution by expressing what they want their future leaders and society to be.
This is their official trailer.




This is the part that I played - as the salesman for Licken, a laboratory grown synthetic brand of meat.


Outside the theatre, one of the ushers asked me if I was the Licken salesman, then pursued with whether I would eat synthetic meat myself. I told her that I am only an actor. :)

Greed is Good

.

This is a three-minute short film produced by Ngee Ann Polytechnic School of Film and Media Studies and directed by Nicholas Wang. Cinematographer: Ms Sabiruna Madhzar. July 2012.

It is a reflection of the ills that had befallen numerous people in aftermath of the Lehman Brothers collapse; and how some rogue traders had behaved in the name of obeying instructions from the top.

This is the smallest set for a short film I have ever been in, with two actors and two crew members. The director doubled as the sound man and sometimes also holds the reflector board at the same time. Clean sound was hard to capture as we were on a roof top of International Plaza, right in the Central Business District of Singapore.

So it was not just my messy hair blown against the wind that was the problem!
Though it does looks like it was my fault. :)

Presenting Fort Canning

This is a presentation of Fort Canning Park in Singapore for the web portal "Locals Recommend", sometime last year. It was unscripted, unrehearsed and done mostly over one-take in about an hour - for  spontaneity. I chose to present Fort Canning, precisely for what is said - that it has nature, history and also fun.
