Through the Savage Chickens website, of which I am an ardent follower, I found another entertaining site that contained seemingly cutesy cartoons with a twist...

Today, I attended the wedding dinner of Jenice (Qiaozhen) and her Burmese husband Sunny at The Legends...

I'd met Jenice some years ago when I was pretty active in the local Chinese theatre scene, and had worked with her in shows like "绿野仙踪", "风继续吹", "再别康桥" and "开心鬼"...

Back then, she was often cast as the Power Lady, the Evil Witch, the Diva etc. And the nickname she had given herself was "Piggypui", which was an indication of her size and self-image at that time...

And now, for the love of her life, she'd worked hard and lost her excess baggage to look perfect for the role of her lifetime: the Beautiful Bride...

If you're reading this, Jenice, know that you'd come a long way and I am very happy for you and very proud of you!!!

And please send me your beautiful wedding photos so I can post here!!!

Also, the wedding dinner itself was a reunion of some of my favourite local actors and theatre folks, most of them from the Singapore I-Lien Drama Society (新加坡艺联剧团) as well as Native's Art Society (本土一派)...

I also made several more friends from the local Chinese acting circle, some of whom are still pretty active on TV and in commercials...

Really happy to see all them again, and if I would ever want to return to the theatre scene again, it would be to work with these wonderful folks again!

I've been thinking about creating my own series of collectible toys for quite some time already, something like the popular Trexi and Bearbrick toys...

But for that to happen successfully, I'll need  to create enough fun characters. I only have my little Eeni and Mini...

They'll do, for now...

For those unfamiliar with collectible toys, the one on the left is based on the Trexi design, and the one of the right is a version of the Bearbrick...

During my Hong Kong trip in January this year, I had already checked out the International Toys and Games Exhibition there, and found several interested parties on my artwork...

Hopefully something good will come out of this...

Woohoo! My illustrations are getting published!

All thanks to Bryan, whose popular better Omhealth services have recently been translated from radio segments on LOVE 97.2 FM into a series of articles for the current and revamped "i-weekly" magazine...

From today, the above-mentioned magazine, together with "8 Days" magazine, both takes on a new compact-sized format, which makes it more handy and also reduced excess paper in an environmentally-friendly move...

My part in Omhealth for the past decade has been to assist Bryan in his workshops. I am also his official photographer...

Additionally, I had been drawing illustrations for Bryan's recently created blog (http://bryanomhealth.blogspot.com/) so his listeners and readers could better visualise his health tips and other messages...

Anyway, here is his first article on "i-weekly", featuring my illustration and a portrait shot of Bryan that I took...

More to come, so do watch this space...

Back in my school days, I had joined and won many singing contests, and it was my greatest dream to perform in front of a massive audience and sing my love to everyone...

Then I woke up...

But there are still many more folks out there who share that same passion that I had before, and it is no wonder that there are more and more reality TV shows and talent schools out there milking this huge market...

Just take a look at the queues at the auditions for all these events...

I still love to sing and perform, but on a more personal, intimate level...

KTV anyone?

Today I met up with several blog friends for dinner and drinks, and to top it all off, I went clubbing again after a hiatus of about three months...

Wanted to take a break from my daily "Nitecaps" too, but I shall resist...

Good night, World...

Today, 2nd of June 2007, would have been my Mother's 59th birthday, had she still been alive...

But rather than dwell too much on the past, I am thankful for the life we've shared together, the amount of time we had spent together, and I am sure she will want me to celebrate my life as she would, if she could...

So here's an appropriate quote from one of the most inspirational ladies in the world...

Somewhere in July 2005, I acted in two short films back-to-back, to be submitted for the Panasonic Digital Video Film Competition...

Both of them were written and directed by Marcus Lim, and starred both myself and Gillian Tan. More info and photos can be found here: http://tabulas.com/~Merman/923491.html...

One of them was called "Screen", in which I played a camera salesman who would sweet-talk anything to his customers to close sales. It's filmed in a variety of English, Mandarin and dialects, on purpose...

So it happened that my friend Hassim found the video of this 7:55min short film on Youtube! And now I can share it with all of you too!

SCREEN

(Photos Within...)

And after so long, I had forgotten if this film won anything or did well in the competition...

Oh well, what's more important is that it is a small piece of MY acting history...
