Been a long time since I blogged, not that there was nothing to blog, there was plenty, perhaps there lies the problem: there were too much - too much to register, too much to reflect, too much to write down.
For one, I was involved in the movie called "Leap of Love", starring Wong Li Lin, Vernetta Lopez, Nadya Houtaglong, Jason Chan, Qi Yi Wu (known as 715), and Ananda, the lead guy from the horror film "Shutter". Ru Ping was my buddy and I was glad for it, with her experience and all.
It's been a long time since I acted and even longer since I was involved in a movie. Haha... The last time I was in a film, I was in P1, I think. To say I was thrilled when I finally realised I got the part, was well, an understatement, even though they made me dye my hair dark after I had just hi-lighted my hair 10 days earlier.
Acting for movie is so different from acting for TV, and the experience taught me a few more things. I realise, perhaps too late, that I cannot 'react' to the other person's behaviour. I really have to get into the emotion of the character, and let the other person handle his / her own part.
Some are more 'co-operative' than others, but bottom line, it's me. If I am the mother, I have to be the mother, and behave like one. Took me a long time to get my head round that, didn't help that I get so nervous I had so many re-takes... Didn't sit too well with the director.... Oops!
Oh well... Still, hope to have some more opportunities. Honest, it's a bug, this acting thing. The hours are not always sociable, the pay ain't gonna pay for a new car; but it's fun, and yes, I'd do it again if I can, provided I don't have to go to work straight after I had done an overnight shoot. I was up for about 72 hours straight. It was crazy and I was surprised I managed to keep my eyes opened.
