i don't usually blog about personal stuff. it's all about work. but PINK DOT http://www.pinkdot.sg means a lot to me. it's also something which i can use my position to campaign for something that is close to my heart.
Pink Dot Sg is a non-profit movement that cares deeply about the place that Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Transgender Singaporeans call home. It is a group for everyone, straight and gay, who support the belief that everyone deserves the freedom to love. With openness and acceptance, we hope to bring LGBT Singaporeans closer to their family and friends.
yesterday we brought together more than 15 000 people in a beautiful, glowing celebration of the freedom to love, in a society not usually associated with liberty. it's a small step, but we believe that it brings us one day closer to Someday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qpf6EVEOXg&feature=youtu.be when we will all be free to love whomever we want to, and how we want to. i was one of this year's Pink Dot Ambassadors, and i hope you'll take a minute, whatever your stand, to read and watch, and think and feel.

next week some friends are putting up a concert which we call WE "HEART" EMMA. emma yong was a dear friend to us, a shining star in the singapore musical theatre scene, a beautiful, strong, fiesty and brave woman. she was an inspiration to us when she lived, and still is today. we are mounting this concert to raise funds for the EMMA YONG FUND The fund gives aid to theatre practitioners in Singapore suffering from cancer and/or other critical illnesses. The fund is administered with the assistance of the Community Foundation of Singapore as well as the Singapore Cancer Society. please check out www.emmayongfund.org for details. all proceeds go only to the fund. we loved her, and we in the theatre community take care of our own.
so if you are in singapore on the 15th, please come! the concert will be a night of song, fun and laughter. (emma would have been very annoyed if we didn't make it funny!) her best friends will be singing her favorite songs, i'll be lighting it, and we'll have a good time.

i have been so busy, my show's opened and i haven't even told anybody about it!
romeo and juliet opened on the 12th of april. this poster came out on the 10th, we were already 80% sold! so it's a hit as far as numbers go. i have just loved being on this show! i play friar laurence (NOT friar tuck, that's way off you guys!), but a great kick has come as a bonus to me by being the fight choreographer! here's a link to an article that came out about that.

and awww hell, the rehearsal and performance pictures are better than me talking about it, so here's some of the fun and games we had along the way. enjoy!
oh and yeah, i'm the "fall guy" tumbling in these shots!

had a blast filming this yesterday. here's a still from "east of Aden", or at least a trailer for the movie, which is being offered to investors everywhere to source funds to make the thing. i sure hope it happens! always loved this kind of action thriller.
thanks to militancy filmed entertainment, and director marcus lim, producer lim jen nee, DP lim teck siang and sfx makeup wyntrice lim for a great day. you guys rock! and before all of you out there start wondering if we're all related, no we're not! it's just that "lim" is the second most common surname in singapore after "tan". you know we just had a presidential election where all 4 candidates were named "tan"?
and now, i really need a shower....
here's to "east of aden" and let's make it happen!

haha the new show i'm working on is really funny! written by dick lee (the composer) it's a dark comedy set in a male beauty pageant, and it cracks me up! plus i get to play the sleazy organizer so it's even more fun haha! directed by jonathan lim (not the film maker) and with hilarious karen tan and judee tan, plus the broodingly handsome rodney oliviero, it's got something for everyone. oh, and of course since it's all happening in a male pageant, there's be pecs and abs galore (not mine this time thankfully)! so if you're in singapore 6th through 17th july, swing by! especially if there's a male ego (yours or someone else's) you have an opinion on, haha!
