you are not cool if you have not watched ‘the chicken rice mystery’
Remember this post?
Well it was actually preparation for my very short role in Swifty’s short movie, The Chicken Rice Mystery. You see, I’d bugged him to put me on a cameo role for a while now — you know, one of those keh leh fei walking in the background or one of those other dining patrons… you get what I mean.
But teh gr8 Swifty decided that I was worthy enough to make a longer appearance in his movie, and cast me in a minor role, complete with lines and shit. So one the day of the shooting, I popped by his house, was told by teh director what to say and how to act and that was it. Eunice put aplenty paint on me face…
Give it to me baby, aha ahah! Photo by Nikki Tok.
… I rehearsed a bit with my ‘brother’ Aron Koh and then the camera rolled!

Now that it’s over, I can say this with a straight face: FROM EXPERIENCE (ahem 
) acting isn’t easy. There’s the nerves and it gets in the way of trying to remember your lines along with the facial expressions and body gestures that go along with them. I guess it shouldn’t be a problem for professional actors. But you know the cliché of women being able to juggle a few things at one time? Well, I don’t fit into that.
(Though it doesn’t mean that local actors can get away with being so shitty.)
So it was fun and quite an experience. I do wish that I was not so nervous and scared, and of course now looking back, I could have done a lot more with the role. Oh wells. Swifty did some awesome editing with the movie so I didn’t come off looking too bad. My favourite characters in the movie are Lai Meng (grandmother) and Teck Lai (1st uncle). If you do not know wtf I am talking about, go watch The Chicken Rice Mystery at the BMW Shorties 2008 website!
