My blog is starting to get wordy, so it’s time for some blurry pictures taken by my handy i-mode phone.
This is MIA Bar at UE Square Shopping Mall. The MIA is short for Made In Ansfield, not Missing In Action, as most people tend to think at first.
But never mind the bar, because the more important thing is that I was there for a shoot.
It’s a Chinese New Year Carlsberg commercial that will be aired on TV and in cinemas (in both languages) during the coming CNY period.
See the Christmas snowflakes in the picture and how they’re kind of pinned up towards the ceiling so that the camera won’t catch them? Haha.
Adrian Pang is the lead actor and I play one of his ex-classmates, at the bar, having a few drinks together. I have a couple of lines and some screen time but I think I’m going to cringe when I see myself.
I look weird. As usual.
These two pics aren’t so bad, that’s why they’re here. The rest are career damning so I’m burning them.
It’s the makeup. The brown eyeshadow below my eyes makes me look like an insomniac. Which I am, truth be told, but the point is not to make me look like an insomniac. The point is to make me look glam, isn’t it?
Well, at least I think the hair is kind of cute.
But the problem is that the cute flyaways went limp after a while so I ended up looking like an insomniac who just woke up.
I didn’t get a pic of Adrian Pang because he was inside the bar the whole time and it was too dark inside to take pictures with my flashless phone. So I got a picture with another co-actor, instead.
Simon is from Denmark and he’s cool because he can speak Chinese. Kind of, at least. He just started learning at NUS, where he’s doing an exchange program.
He was supposed to say a Chinese phrase in the commercial and he can actually say it really well, sounding very Chinese. But the script called for him to do it with a typical ang moh accent, so he had to pretend he couldn’t speak Chinese well. Hah.
I wish I could do a bah kua commercial so I get to eat free bah kua during the shoot. Free beer is nice… but only for people who drink beer.
The Carlsberg tasted quite good, actually, but I have low beer tolerance. The first five sips or so are usually nice but after that, it will start to taste sour and then taking anymore will just gross me out. Come to think of it, wine is that way for me, too.
I prefer bah kua.
So, I’m going to start sending out psychic rays of subliminal suggestion to all the bah kua people in Singapore to cast me in their bah kua commerical.
Zzzzzzngggg…..
Okay, start planning to watch some movies during CNY so you can catch this commercial!
Hmmm… with those 2 shots of you side by side, I was strangely rminded of the Olsen twins…
Lots of updates from you recently, with so many interesting stuff! ^.^
I will always be your number one fan/obsessed stalker.
(But you have to tell me when you are going to appear on tv so I can make an effort to catch it coz i don’t really watch tv/movies in the first place. O.o)
Mince Pye: I don’t look anything like them. O_o
Minou: Yay!! Thanks!! But I thought the honour of my number one obsessed stalker already went to Susu… Hehe.
Ohhhh… Nice pictures. Too bad it isn’t a Heineken advertisement. I like their ads better; always good for a laugh. And no, in order to like beer, you have to start with the finest. Try some strawberry, peach or blackcurrant beer someday and you’ll love it :)
What can I say?
I love your blog… haha… no really, I like it! Its not because of the pretty pic of the author!
Next time got free beer, call me lah. Funny… tomorrow’s feed picked this up before your feedburner feed…
Susu got the honour of being the President and all time Kah Kia of Sheylara.
I am still the number one obsessed stalker. :p
boy is he cute.
gratz! Haha say hi to Adrian for me the next time ya see him ;)
Grats QY dear!!! Ok. I will plan for CNY movies so we can go watch..
Remember Indi style?
When their favourite actor/actress appear on screen, they stand up, cheer and clap loudly. Let’s do that when you appear on the big screen !!!!!
Minou.. let’s go get some ying2 guang1 bang4 ok!
P.S. Simon damn cute le~ ^_^ but no one beats my 伦哥哥 and Takeshi
Takeshi 哥哥 and ah pitt 哥哥 .. /drool
/dream mode on
woo….been to MIA a couple of times. Sat nights are special….I think cover is $15 or so for ladies and $20 for guys (all non-members, i might be slightly off on the prices so don’t quote me). They have live band performing and bar top dancing.
You get free flow of beer, vodka and whiskey.
Drink till u drop or puke all over the place…wooohoo!!
Eh…you really look like you just woke up in the pic with Simon.
By the way…
Zzzzzzngggg…
You are a cow.
:P
Alvin: Yeah, I’ve tried fruity beers at Brewerkz, but they’re all the same. They turn sour after a while. =P
Ghost: Thanks! So that means you’ll come and read it even if I never post a single picture, right?
Acroamatic: Ok, I’ll remember that! =P And, urgh, don’t talk to me about feeds. I hate it. It’s driving me nuts.
Minou: ERm… I don’t remember you guys making this distinction. Hahah… anyway, you are all in the same club so it doesn’t matter, kekeke.
Candy: Can I sell you his number? Hehehe. Kidding.
Ruok: Okay, but I think the chances of me having another shoot with him again are slim. =P
Wang wang: Gack!! You will all do no such thing!! OMG OMG don’t even think about it! LOL. Ack.
Moralis: Does that mean MIA Bar is worth the time going? Good, because they gave us free membership cards. =P
Swordplay: No I’m not!
Darn, I need to go level my subliminal powers.
HA! I just saw the ad today!! Sorry but what were you saying? =)
What, what? Is this another jibe at my crummy acting skills?! :P
