Hong Kong Cinema Lives.

The pre-show.

Remember I told you how the film Gallants that I was in got nominated for Best Film at the 30th Hong Kong Golden Film Awards?

Guess what.

It won.

It’s quite surreal to go from having never attended such an event before to standing on stage during the moment when one of the most prestigious awards is being presented for the evening.

Especially when the award is presented by the legends such as Ms. Lau Kar Ling (Winner of Best Female Lead) and none other than Detective Lee from Rush Hour himself. lol

For all my non-Cantonese speakers, the first 4-5 minutes or so of the clip is standard pre-award announcement banter..

As if that wasn’t epic enough, I also got to meet a true Hong Kong cinema O.G. in the flesh..

Time flies.

Much love to @phantastikorean. I am humbled and honored.

The last 10 years have been eventful to say the least.

Inspired.

I was pretty blown away by this.

All I sent them was a simple video clip greeting. Whoever edited this did a great job.

Vancity, here I come.

Undercover.

Record breaking.

3 in one day. #AIYA

#100factsaboutme.

This was epic.

It actually makes more sense to start from 100 and work your way up.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Reflection.

Recap.

Heading back to HK in less than 48 hours.

Definitely made the most of my time stateside these past two weeks. . .

Tied the knot.

Flew out to LA where I started and finished working on my first English album in 5 years.

Birthed the AIYA Movement.

Recorded a song w/ Mr. Traphik & DFD then shot the video for it subsequently.

Shot a video for the first single off my upcoming Cantonese album release in August.

Flew back to NY.

Shot another video for another song off the upcoming Cantonese album.

Only one word to summarize the whole experience: AIYA.

 

Gone.

Good times.

Oh yeah.

I’ll be releasing my 2nd Cantonese album in Hong Kong sometime later this year.

Figured I’d shoot a music video for the first single the day before I left LA.

Young Sam and the Drop Dead Inc. crew.

Straight adventures.
