ben is no project superstar

i know the film may not be everyone's cup of tea.

i am kinda worried abt the feedbacks.

but pls cut me some slack alright?

its afterall the director's first feature film

its also my first time acting in one(yes i still got lotsa first times)

its not easy makin a movie in singapore especially with the tight budget,so it'll be nice if u guys can give us some credit for e hardwork at least?

its only a simple local film....watch with a open mind and u might just see the magic in it:)

meanwhile i was also asked to sing the theme song for e movie.

for those who already know....singing has never been my forte.

but since is for e movie,i thought i'll just do it.

i am pretty embarrassed abt my own singing and i do cringe when i listened to it at first,but hey...since the producer has put the video on youtube....why not on my blog no?

so yup...here's the

youtube of me singing the theme song.





the director also uploaded another strange video of me eating hotdog buns.

its actually me testing out the candle look-alike hot-dog sausages(seen in e movie for e dead).





i think i do look a lil different watching the video clips.

my hair was black and short and i look scrawny somehow in e first video(months ago).Not that i am some muscle shit now..but its just somewhat diff(second video-now)

anyhow...since we dont exactly have a extravagant budget,i have to do my part in promoting e movie in my blog.ha.

we are opening new halls @ cathay (cine's cathay too)on further dates....but i 'll update u guys where to book the tix from in my later entries.

enough of shameless publicity...

i need to hit the sheets real soon.

meanwhile....pls cut me some slack on e singing!pretty pls!nice comments are sincerely appreciated, nasty comments will of cus be deleted :P



p.s
-my frds claim that i sound better in ktv :P
- oh it also takes awhile for e song to grow in u.so listen to it a few more times.haha

rex>its just me testing out the hotdog buns that we gave out during the blog conference...cus there was a scene in e movie where mike ate a bun-only to realise its a candle as he has become a spirit.thus...i was asked to test these hotdog buns that are made to look like candles.and somehow they record it into a video.pretty dumb actually.

duncan>thank dx miu!!!

Haha... It's always weird to hear songs the first time la... Esp when you're singing it... Cos I do have this kind of experience too... I actually help out a radio station in a song recording for the Sichuan earthquake months ago.. =)

Anyway... Good effort made! I'm sure you're also working hard to improve yourself ya? Jia you! =)

There will definitely be criticism. Even your favourite Britney and Madonna also get their fair share. So either you live with it, or just suck your thumb. If not, guess you can't really be in the show business. This is reality, babe.
See you around and good luck.
