Vincent Lee : My Reelity

So after queuing for 2.75 hours on Saturday, I’ve finally gotten my hands on the spanking new iPhone 3GS, thereby finally upgrading my 2G (Phoebe) after 2.5 years.

Gisele, however is not taking too kindly to my restoring a backup of Phoebe into her. And boy, is she making a big deal out of it. My text messages will disappear after I exit the SMS application and I can’t save new notes, and have trouble opening the older ones as well.

If I however set up the phone as a new phone, she works like a charm and purrs with my every touch.

Is it me or is my iPhone behaving like a real lady?!!

Dear Shu Qi,

If by chance you don’t marry Mr Lucky-Bastard-Chang when you are 35, will you marry me instead?

Yours truly and hoping to be truly yours,

Vincent

Who would have thought that after 4 years, this is really the winning number.

Too bad we didn’t continue buying the number lol.

Most of the time, this question always leave me in a state of bemusement.

Let’s see what the basic definition is :

ac?tor
? ?/?ækt?r/ [ak-ter]
–noun
1. a person who acts in stage plays, motion pictures, television broadcasts, etc.
2. a person who does something; participant.

So going by the above definition, then I guess I am one.

But anyone can be an actor, you say. True, I mean its not like you need a Masters degree to be one. And wasn’t it Bill (William Shakespeare) who labeled everyone an actor?

I guess why people ask me the question is because I’m too obscure and/or haven’t been featured prominently in anything mainstream. I don’t fault them for that; heck if I’m in their shoes, I too, will have difficulty believing I’m an actor.

But I do get offended by people if their questioning goes along the lines of “Are you pretending to be an actor”. Please lah, I got nothing better to do meh? Why do I want to pretend to be something anyone can be?

And then there are those who differentiate between extras, bit players and main part actors. Most of us have to start somewhere and its just too bad that the industry here don’t really advocate working your way up. But that’s not a reason to condemn those who call themselves actors but have been only doing carelefare work (see definition above).

So am I really an actor? Well, you decide for yourself. But I do know I have a good body of work behind me, so if anyone’s asking, I’m an actor.

And a darn good one at that.

What’s with all these hoo ha about an association being set up man. I had no idea it would create such a commotion when I first read it in Today. I figured most people will read it, laugh it off and then turn their attention to something more worthwhile.

I know I did.

But I guess perhaps everyone is just plain bored and wanted something to break the doom and gloom around us these days.

With the rainy day Budget now catering to just a slight drizzle, I guess we do need all the distractions we can get just to stay sane.

And since we’re on the topic of distraction, I’m seizing this opportunity to announce a club I’m setting up.

Membership is FREE and for females only; just email me a photograph of yourself in bikini, along with your name and phone number.
