Ping Pong Playa Opened this past weekend

Hi Everyone

Ping Pong Playa opened this weekend in LA, NY and SF to warm reception. It was such joy to sit with a laughing audience. Even though I have watched the film many times, each time I will always be pleasantly surprised by a joke or a moment that cracks me up. Thumbs up to Jessica and Jimmy's wonderful collaboration.

If you have not seen this film, don't wait, run and grab a friend, we need your support. I guarantee you will catch a few good laughs!

talk soon

Happy April Fool's Day

   Is it April already? Didn't we just celebrated CNY? Time sure flies. Perhaps I am having too much fun. Have been teaching a lot lately. It was refreshing to see the passion and commitment of these young actors - so focus on their dreams. I feel like they are teaching me more than I am teaching them. Look forward to reuniting with a group of amazing childhood friends in Scotland in October -  my dear "HK lo yau gehs"  from MSS days. So it's only April... happy April fools day everyone!

HAPPY CNY

HI everyone,

Just as I am beginning to settle into 2008, CNY is knocking on my door tomorrow. Well for all those in HK and China, CNY is today. Have a happy healthy and beautiful Chinese New Year. Wishing you a year filled with dreams come true and exciting adventure...let's all be as resourceful, fun and creative as "Rat -a- touille"!

A Peaceful and Wonderful 2008

Just want to take this time to wish all of us to continue our efforts in creating world peace and  bringing  joy and happiness to our lives in 2008!

Thanksgiving in New York

    November was a great time to be in New York, especially upstate New York. I stayed with my sister and her family  for a few days in Westchester. I was truly mesmerized by the beautiful fall colors  -  the  breath taking collage of  red, brown, yellow and  pale green trees, just like a live Monet painting.  My nephews and nieces are all so tall and grown up. Where did time go?  It seemed they were just toddlers yesterday. I spent the rest of my visit with my husband's family in Redding Connecticut. Driving around the suburban ...Read more

Vision and Passion

Just saw Ang Lee's "Lust Caution". I was speechless. For those who have not seen this film, please go. It's great to see this Oscar winning director takes such risk in making movies that  he is so passionate about. His focus and dedication is pure inspiration. To me, just within this one film, in his masterful way, Ang has redefined Asian Cinema and Asian portrayal on screen. I am in awe...

I saw "Lust Caution" a second time this weekend. The experience was ev...Read more

My trip to SF

Last week, I flew to San Francisco to attend the cast party premiere screening of FALLING FOR GRACE at the Presidio Theater.  This party is thrown by the amazing theater owner, Frank Lin, who offers to screen Fay's film at 2 of his theaters after he read an article of how much Fay is pushing her film and finding screeners. The article told the story about Fay taking 8 years to have this project done. When the film screened at Kabuki Sunset, she was passing out fortune cookies outside to encourage people to come. Hence Frank Lin decided to t...Read more
