NTV7 Chinese Drama - My Destiny Episode 20, 21

190808 - yet another successful daily blog... lol... emm.. Im not playing any lead role here.. Just a small part... lol... Im just an extra in most of my Chinese Market venture. Mayb due to the fact that I don't win any idol competitions or sort... bt.. let me remind you.. winning those competitions doesn't make you a good actor... only makes u someone who is being viewed a lot on tv... lol anyways.. what I think the chinese market in malaysia lack of in the film industry.. are real dedicated actors who really act... "Not just another pretty face on the screen"

anyways... the effort I placed into my love of art... priceless... lol

Woke up at 4am today due to the fact that the agent told us to reach the location at 7:30am... and there ain't no bus from my place to the Train station that early.. usually will only come to my place at around 6:30am... and im really emphasising USUALLY!!! cause sometimes, it reaches at about 7am.. Three cheers for our ULTIMATELY EFFICIENT public transport... so i didn't wanna take the risk... and I decide to walk in the dark... all the way to the train station ... which took me an hour on face pace... luckily the sun is still sleeping... and I didn't sweat since its still very cold. from the Kelana Jaya, it took me half an hour to reach KL sentral.. which I have to walk to the monorail to hitch a ride to Imbi station... and I started walking to the place where they called the shaw Parade... well.. something funny happened.. I took a wrong turn and ended up at the other side.. and I mean.. the far side.. thinking I was on the right track... so.. my 6th sense was tingling.. and I stop a passing lady to asked for direction.. she was inching away when I asked her... I think I look like a punk.... or something dreadful.. lol... so she was kinda enough to walk me to the junction.. (she is going towards the same direction) and pointed me to the building.... so I found it in the end... yeah... !!!

So.. the shooting only started at about 8:30am or was it 9am... cant remember.. bt well... I reached at 7am... lol... now i know its possible... :P I was asked to dressed up as a waiter of the restaurant.. which is Purple Cane Tea Restaurant in real life.. Im not too sure what its called in the drama... (this restaurant serve everything in tea.. i so wanna give it a go sometime soon. bt the price is quite.. i mean quite competitive...... at a higher range.... lol) if you must know

I weren't the only extras for the day... I met this 2 gals from Tar college... they are actually the ambassadors for Nikon.. and well, I was looking for a compact camera... and they asked me to wait for the next fair... Its their 1st job.. and they managed to eat on set... lol... me on the other hand.. only had Protein drink for breakfast... lol... Im on training ok... :P not on a slimming diet...
