The Bub in the Belly

Ryan spent two days last week on set for his latest project - a television commercial. That's one of his co-stars, Cana, who is supposed to be his sister in the commercial. They look alike, don't they? We are pretty excited about this project and are eagerly anticipating seeing it on air!

Interestingly, Ryan's screen daddy (Hoong) and screen mummy (Shu Qian) were the same actors who played his parents in a print commercial that he did about two years ago. What an unexpected reunion!

Another wholly unexpected encounter was when, Randall, the representative from the ad agency recognised Ryan as Ryan from this blog! It was a very happy moment for me, especially when he told me that he/his wife have been reading our blog for years and that he/his wife have found inspiration in our posts. That is amazingly awesome and I don't know what to say except thank you, thank you. I feel so grateful.

When I spoke to him, I had not posted for two weeks but our conversation inspired and motivated me to get back to blogging! Haha! There has been quite a lot happening in our household recently, which is why the blog has been on the backburner. I'll update you as we go along, yeah?

We're back! We spent last week in KL - both father and son had business there. Richard had a few meetings and Ryan was filming an advertisement. Filming took 3 days and each day he was on set for 15-18 hours!

Ryan was a champ - he delivered all his scenes efficiently and perfectly. He impressed everyone so much that the director invited him to audition for a role in the next ad and the executive producer told him, "Ryan, you are AMAZING... we want to work with you again!" I think that must be the ultimate test in this industry - whether directors and producers want you on their next project. I'm really proud of him - his discipline, his work ethic and his social skills.

As usual, can't say/show much about the ad until it goes on air (hopefully in September).

Just sharing a couple of photos for now. For the first two days of filming, we were in Putrajaya. Beautiful place. We were there during Hari Raya (1st and 2nd days of Eid), so the place was deserted. On the third day, we were at KRU Studios at Cyberjaya.


Ryan had his own trailer! Inside there are two beds, a small pantry, a TV and a restroom. Our little star!


We spent the rest of last week catching up with family and friends and flew home on Sunday night. While we were having dinner at the airport, we received an invitation for Ryan to a playdate the next day! Hahaha - he is a busy busy boy!
