Lust, Caution

I went to see the filming of the new Ang Lee movie, Lust, Caution in Penang on Sunday. Only saw Ang Lee with his crews. They were surveying the filming location. No signs of Lee Hom or the lead lady, Tang Wei. Then I heard some girls beside me saying that filming will only take place the next day(Monday) from 6am-10pm. Damn, I had tuition on Mondays. Decided to go after tuition instead. Besides, I don't have to brave the heat in the afternoon. I went to Church Street together with my two brothers. They hired so many extras. How come I didn't know about it? Even ang mos, aunties and kids knew about it. We were not allowed to go near. It was very quiet. Maybe it is because my friend said that they chased people away in the afternoon because it was too noisy. So we went looking around the newly built Church Street Pier.

After around 20minutes, we went back to the main road. Still very quiet. I thought the filming was over as the extras were leaving in vans. However the lights were still on. So I continued waiting. Then we went to stand at the guard house. There were 2 other girls there. Then suddenly they started snapping photos. I looked. It was Lee Hom(at last..haha), together with Ang Lee and Tang Wei. They were having their break. They had 'fan hap' for dinner. Such a pity as Penang is famous for its food and they had to consume 'fan hap'. I talked to the girls. Found out that one had been there since 2pm! The other came right after work.
Then we moved nearer. We stood in the middle of the road to take picture but we were warned not to take pics with flash. Then Tang Wei stood up and went to the ladies' escorted by an assistant. I didn't know that it was Tang Wei until when she came back from toilet and the reporters started to chase after her for pics. Then the crews got angry and asked everyone to stand back at the opposite road. So we went back to the guard house. I was talking with the 2 girls when I saw 3 guys walking towards our direction. Then I said Lee Hom. The 2 girls were shocked and asked WHERE?!. THERE!! Then 2 guys escorting him said Don't Take Pics! Then the 2 girls shouted LEE HOM! He slowed down, turned and smiled and waved at us!!!!(he was good looking even in the costume and hair down. I thought he looked kinda nerdy when I read and saw his pic in the newspaper) There were only the 5 of us there!! Then he quickly went to the men's. I was ecstatic! Then when he was walking back, he walked faster as everyone now knows that he is there and they started to walk towards our place. I was so happy! It was worth waiting eventhough I didn't get to see the filming process.

no pics now. having problems uploading them. will load soon
