Wow, can't imagine how time flew by these past few weeks. I'd thought after "Das Experiment", I would be out of work for a bit, and could stretch my legs and spread my wings... so to speak... and just enjoy a good year-end break...

But apparently, Fate had other more exciting plans for me!

Besides my usual illustration gigs, I also got jobs for recording voiceovers for TV and cinema ads for the Science Centre Singapore as well as Snow City, and also got cast in a music video ad to teach school children about certain aspects of road safety! I even landed my first (minor) "recurring" role in a new English local drama series, "Red Thread"!

More about that in upcoming posts!

I'd also found time to catch a few movies, and would highly recommend everyone go watch the Malaysian film, "Muallaf", and the Taiwanese surprise hit movie, "Cape No. 7"!

I'd long wanted to visit Taiwan, especially after watch "Cape No. 7", but I had never yet found the opportunity to set foot there...

So imagine my surprise and amusement when my Taiwanese friend, Frank, called me the other day and asked me if I had been to Taipei recently...

Apparently, he saw my face on a bank billboard advertisement in Taipei!

Anyway, he took a few photos of that ad and emailed me, and here they are...

This image was taken off the bank's website

Well! To think that my photo visited Taiwan even before I did! LOL

Haha, it turned out the image that the bank had chosen for their ad was from one of my earlier stock images photo shoots with Asia Images studio, and taken by the photographer Cedric Lim...

Although the stock images shoot was fun and a rather good source of income, of course, I'd much rather have been cast for that ad and have it shot in Taiwan (and get due payment for that!)...

Anyway, I'll be back here posting more stuff and especially my back-log of tons of photos, so be warned!! :)

my upcoming tvcs...

It's been a crazy past few weeks, and most of my energy was spent on the play, "Das Experiment: Black Box"...

There are only two more shows left, that is, for tonight and tomorrow. So those who'd yet to catch our performance, please don't miss it!!!

Besides working on this highly intense play, I'd also made full use of my day time to be involved in two more upcoming television commercials this week...

The first TVC I did a couple of days ago was a voiceover recording for Science Centre Singapore, which will be aired on selected channels (like Kids Central, I think) very soon...

Here are a couple of photos I took at Caleb Wong Studio...
