On the Aki Nabalu Shoot!

February 13, 2010

Kong Eu, the actor.
In 2008 I got bitten by the acting bug. This was of course started from my numerous castings for TVCs since 2007 (and the voice-over work which started earlier)  – which then led to reading scripts and castings for acting roles. In Jul 08, I was casted to play the lead in the pilot [...]

A client of Jojo’s saw us perform at Stand Up! and liked it so much that we were asked to do a set at the launch of Playboy fragrance at Heritage!

October 24, 2009

Day: Fri, Oct 16, 2009 (night).
They had a emcee (don’t know him but the kind that can rattle on non-stop and has that radio DJ style of speaking) to warm-up the crowd. He came out 2 times (the actual emcee was VJ Utt, who, to be honest, did a barebones, minimum job in introducing Carrie [...]
