Casting for TVC

I couldn't sleep last night, I don't know if it was because today I actually had my first real casting call or because I just haven't been sleeping properly in general. First off, this casting call really isn't anything, I'm a nobody. The role looks like a background role. I had recieved a call yesterday from Amy who works for Mastermind telling me about it. This is through my contact at Starryland. I ended up today at Quarry Bay. The company name is called Picture Industries.

I was suppose to find a "Betsy" when I got there, but she wasn't around. Another girl helped me fill out my form and gave me the script. Looks like my biggest problem will always be the fact that the scripts are written in Chinese. I don't know of these are typical scripts but it was a bit strange. I had to pretend to be a boy who likes being hit by a girl. I need to beg her to hit me harder and then I pretend that she just slugged me one across the face. Well I did my best, I have to admit though I felt strange doing it. Hopefully I will land a part in this TVC (TV commercial I think).

I headed over to Readership right after to teach an hour long conversational course. This is my first time back at readership in a while. I miss the kids actually. The place changed a bit. After teaching so many 3 hour classes, 1 hour seems to run by so quickly. My three kids are Timbo, whom I've had before, Thomas, and Vincent.

After my class was done I went to the computer centre in Wan Chai. I was waiting for Gloria. She took her sweet time, and I don't quite understand the story but she was left behind in some location by her co-workers so she had to take a taxi. Gloria has been really helpful to me, and often has gone out of her way to help me out. She's looking into a new notebook computer so we spent some time wandering around the computer centre looking at notebooks. The favourite so far is Fujitsu. Oh while I was waiting around for Gloria I ran into Johny. I pretended to steal something from his bag, his reaction time was so slow.

I headed back to Mong Kok afterwards and had drinks with Carman and Kammy. I guess Kammy will be at SME in Yau Ma Tei coming up this month and Joesphine will be at the other location. No more flirting around with Josephine this month.
