This post is not for the easily queasy or faint-hearted.
Another day, another bad landing, another swollen and blue toe, many ice packs.
But the interesting part of this experience was the “fang xue” that the zhong yi I went to do for me for the first time in my life.
The closest english interpretation I can come up with is bloodletting. Which of course brings up images in my mind of medieval England and their so-called medical practices, which almost invariably ended up with the demise of the patient.
The good news is that after the so-called bad blood or blood clot was squeezed out, the blue toe has turned various shades of brown and yellow. Which I suppose warrants a hurrah.
Next stunt scene is on Monday, any prayers would be appreciated.

Code of Honour 正义武馆 debuts on Channel 8 at 7pm from 5 December 2011.
Categorised in Bridge, Code of Honour 正义武馆.
A couple days I did my first fight scene for Code Of Honor. First time wearing harness wire, the kind that lets you film flying, somersaults, etc. Just think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. My very first shot filmed was a backwards mid air somersault. I love it.
I was having so much fun flying around until of course, I slammed chest-first into a wooden pillar while attempting to do a spinning kick around the pillar. Turns out I kicked the martial arts director in the head and he couldn’t catch me in time.
Luckily that happened two days before I was scheduled to fly back, so because I was in pain, the minute I touched down I went for a x ray and ECG.
No fracture and no signs of internal bleeding from the ECG so thank god. Resting now and monitoring for internal bleeding, will be flying back soon.
Unfortunately this is price to be paid for doing action scenes, but have way too much fun doing them.
This will be first of many, especially since the next one is U2, but it’s all good, please don’t worry.

I really don’t know sometimes.
Why would these people keep voting for me?
Then it dawns upon me
They must be the angels sent from above
Put on earth
To show me the meaning of love
(Yes, it might be a lousy cheesy poem but I mean it just like my stick man, whose name happens to be Mr Man)
And henceforth the “Dang-ers” shall be known as the “Rangels”. (Is that at least a slight improvement over the much-disliked Dang-ers?)

Both the TNP reporter + Min were sooo impressed with the initiative and helpfulness shown by the 10 RBKD-ers during the old folks’ event.
What meant the world to me was that I could tell you guys were genuinely enjoying yourself.
How much you guys have grown after all this while.
Now I can say with certainty that this is more than just a fan club. I’m really so proud of you guys.
Happy new year.
Filming has wrapped and I have just 2-3 weeks break before starting the new show. Right now I’m wound so tightly and have no idea how to unwind my mind.
Next year will be the year I learn how to pace myself. And how to Just. Breathe. (BTW some of the info you guys got about next yr is not right)
Part 2 of “Things I’m Loving Now”
Modern Family – HILARIOUS. I adore Phil, Gloria and the gay couple.
Japanese film Confessions was amazing. I’m so proud that Asian cinema is starting to catch up and even surpass Hollywood.
Dying, dying, dying to catch Black Swan.
BTW, for my birthday next year, I’m serious about not wanting a single gift or card. Instead, I would rather you make those things or put that effort into volunteering even if it’s for one day. How happy would those things make a lonely child?
And, yes indeed, he is still the object of my obsession

Strange how of all the things I wrote, the one-liner K-Pop bit got the most attention. I’m not sure it’s a good thing that you guys see me as so………..one-track?
Isn’t it then even more of a contradiction that an “ang mo pai” is acting in Channel 8?
Being an artiste means learning and being aware about all forms of art, popular and not popular. After taking my entire career thus far to get to the point where I’m only JUST BEGINNING to understand acting, I have learnt never ever to dismiss or brush aside any form of art. Something that’s popular does not mean it’s any less difficult to attain, or that dues have not been paid (this is a highly flawed viewpoint that I also used to embrace). As an actress, I’m beginning to see how very dangerous and wrong it is to label and pigeonhole. And realizing all this has set me free to embrace new things.
It would be a travesty and very tragic to insist on being the frog in the well, simply for the sake of it.

Just realized I haven’t done a “Things I Am Loving” post for awhile, here goes. Those having exams please wait till after to explore these.
1. Best. Show. On. Television. (but strictly for those above 18, and I mean it.) : FX’s Sons Of Anarchy
Definitey not everyone will appreciate this one, but once you get past the graphic violence, leather cuts, occasional nudity, sex and coarse language, there is solid, solid acting and direction and wonderful writing with a very real emotional core. It helps to watch the show from the beginning (Season 1). It intrigued me that this is positioned as Hamlet-on-wheels, and is written as a homage to Hamlet (I’ve always had a soft spot for the lad). The fact that when I first watched this show I assumed the characters were acted by real bikers and not actors, speaks for itself. I really like how it seems more like a documentary than a drama.
Hal Holbrook (guest star) brought me to tears in 30 seconds in a single shot in Season 3. Easily one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen. Katey Sagal is completely authentic and multi-layered.
In the interests of full disclosure, I have the biggest crush on Charlie Hunnam (Jax), but beyond the way he looks, the guy has some serious acting chops. It’s beyond me why he isn’t on the big screen yet. Scorcese should look beyond his DiCaprio blinders, Hunnam is perfect for him.
2. Sara Bareilles Kaleidoscope Heart and 2ne1 To Anyone
Kaleidoscope Heart : simply beautiful. Fav track : “Breathe Again”
And yes, I have to admit that I am a 2ne1 and G Dragon fangirl. Love “Clap Your Hands” and “Go Away”.
There are a couple others, but I’ll save them for the next post.
Until then, study hard and always be taking baby steps towards the truth.

Was a little worried for your safety when I heard from Min that a bunch of you guys were coming, especially after seeing how ulu the road to the location was, should have told Min to tell you guys not to come. Really hope everyone got back safe and sound? I guess we can add another life skill that being in RBKD inculcates : navigation and street smarts. BTW, hopefully we can do a group photo at the next one, she saw the sms too late.
Filming starts next next Monday.
Hi, my name is Rui En and I am an addict. AA. Addicted to acting.
I loved all the reactions of shock, surprise AND pure dumbfoundedness that the imaging photos induced. Believe me, no one is more shellshocked by this role than me
