I'm A Freakin' Movie Star!

Okay, maybe not quite. But I did play a bit part in a short film. My colleague Cracker's brother called me up last weekend and asked if I would participate in his short film project. Being the attention-whore that I am, I of course agreed.

The project is a Chinese black comedy and I would play the part of a Triad boss. Hehhehh... I did say it was a comedy, didn't I? Anyway, I'm a bit of a wuss in the film. Which is NOTHING like my true, macho self. *ahem*

The shoot was at some creepy haunted house somewhere near Seputeh. And for my 1 minute presence on screen, they bloody shot me for 3 hours. That was my Sunday. Anyway, that's done and I debut in few months time on Astro. I'm not sure if I can stand to watch myself since I always look like crap on camera.

Oh well. Autographs, anyone? :)

    You're too clever for me Jason. You can be the president of my fan club. *ahaks*
    Of course mah, Gina. Didn't I say I was an attention whore?
    Hahah, I have no idea SK! In fact, I don't even know what the story is about. I got on set and did exactly what they wanted me to do. :)
    Nahlah, it's a short film projectlah, Deepsy. Mana ada budget for make-up? Besides we're all supposed to look like crap.
    Wahahaha, that cracked me up Papi!
    I'm not sure you'll wanna see it, Ariel. Besides it's one of those arty-farty short film that'll leave you stumped and possibly annoyed too! :lol:
    Move along, move along, BigBoK. Nothing to see here. :)
    Ehehh... that could be a blessing in disguise, Lucia.
    Chewah, not even on air got Manager already. You're too good to me lah, Egghead!
    Will try, Babe. :)
    It's a short film they're submitting for a contest, Michelle.
    No details yet, DomesticGoddess.
    Wah, and make pirate copies ah, Belacans? Hahahha... I am not worthy!

  17. LOL. U R a drama king anyway, James so its befitting lah. I once "starred" in a corporate training program video. Geez! I should have insisted they paid me for being in it since they were using it to paid participants. Haha.
