A time forgotten…

I was reading my old diary a few days ago and some articles I wrote a few years back. It felt like visiting an old friend. Familiar, yet distant.

I’ve always liked keeping a traditional diary. Yes, technology is helpful with the additional features, which does wonders to the aesthetic appeal. But I still love how a traditional diary reveals the tiny details about you, at the point of time when the article was penned.

The atrocious handwriting (still is now)… dog-eared pages, faded ink, gave so much character to the diary. Though it has been many years apart, I can still identify my character traits in the many entries throughout the years. How I smiled knowingly and surprisingly at the thoughts I once owned and still do.

People say you lose your innocence with u grow up. But I believe that we just forget what it feels like to be innocent. To be in the moment, when now is forever. The ideals once held, visions waiting to be rekindled, are all lying in the forgotten pages in the diary.

Try putting your feelings in black and white. Any kind of them… it’s a space where u can be honest to just you. No fear of scrutiny, or judgment. Those moments are invaluable. It tells you who you are when u feel like losing yourself, when u can hardly remember what it feels like 10 or 20 years ago. Especially those in your teens, this is the time when life feels like forever, and surging emotions are like daily bread.

Lock them in ink.

Keep the love alive

One of my best friends had asked me to forward this message to as many as possible. I obliged without hesitation. This is one of those times where borders, nationalities, geographical distances do not matter. Cos our hearts beat as one, we feel as one. And indeed… we are all human.

You are not alone

I hope u guys liked the mini story that started revealing itself in parts since 3rd August. I began my acting experience with short films and I am glad to relive that experience with the branding and promo team this time round.

Short film tells a story within minutes, yet encompassing the necessary elements to touch the audience. When I met the director for a brief on the project, I was thrilled with the storyline and the direction for shoot. I was also glad that the co-actor is none other than Zhen Huan, my “nerdy boyfriend” in Dream Catchers.

The story tells the tale of a girl growing up and being bullied due to her unusual behavior. Unknown to the rest, she is actually role-playing with the objects around her. She has great imagination and hopes to be an actor one day. During her childhood, there is this boy who never gave up on her. When she asked him “ 我是不是很怪?” He assured her caringly, ”你很特别 。”

We all need and long for someone to understand and be there for us when the going gets tough. I hope that this short heart warming story will remind us to show concern for the people around us and renew the belief that people do care.

Here are some pictures taken off the set. I had fun, hope u enjoy watching it.
