Have a Super Merry Christmas and an Awesomely Happy New Year!
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Wednesday, Dec 24, 2008 4:40PM / Members only
Hello everyone and thank you for all of your warm holiday well-wishes. I'm currently in the good ol' US of A enjoying the holiday season with my family for the first time in over 5 years. I've been back to visit within those 5 years, but never during the winter. So this will be the first white Christmas that I'll be celebrating since a long while ago.
Cool Stuff 01 – Going to da Bears game with my pops.
Herding towards Soldier Field...
The winning field goal!!! Go Bears!!!
Cool Stuff 02 – Going the da Bulls game with my pops.
Greats seats, woohoo!!
Cool Stuff 03 – Kicking face with the boys.
And no visit back to Chi-town would be complete if I didn't spend half my time at my family's martial arts studio. Check out the following clip of one my boys, Big Al working the mitts during one of our workouts. I've been training this kung fu brother since he was in high-school, now he’s whooping face in the ring along with the rest of the NFCMAA full-contact fighters (more clips online). Represent!

Have a super Merry Christmas, an awesomely Happy New Year, and God bless everybody!!!

there's no time like tea time...
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Thursday, Nov 27, 2008 12:59AM / Members only
Rarely are we afforded a day of complete chillness. But one fine day we found ourselves blessed with that exact chillness!
"Gimme a break, a six-year-old shaolin disciple child could've caught this!"
The flying chopstick was apparently a distraction... in the attosecond (or the approximate time that it takes for light to travel the length of three hydrogen atoms) it took for my fingers to scissor the airborne chopstick, the lightning that was Vanness had already managed to liberate the final cha-siu-baau from its steamer-basket prison. Witness his glee.
Soon after the food and tea was cleared from the table and transferred into our guts, we took our time in traversing back to the Hotel Philifornia for a screening of the latest DVD copy of Kung Fu Panda.
Lesson of the Day
Peace, quiet, and the temporary lack of all discernible responsibility are all great concepts in and of itself, but every once in a while these concepts will merge together and form something called, "pure awesomeness".

a few days in the life of yours truly...
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Sunday, Nov 9, 2008 4:36PM / Members only
Thank you everyone for the love and patience, it’s been pretty hectic around here. But if hectic means working, and working means paycheck, and paycheck means Gears of War 2, then being hectic sure is good.
In addition to the non-stop statically-progressive background preparation for a certain upcoming project, I have also been occupied with a few outside endeavors as well. I’ll let the following images and words acquaint everyone with the current happenings in the life of yours truly.
Nike Sportswear Store Grand Opening
A press-photo of me and my super-friends at the Nike Sportswear Store Grand Opening celebration.
A photograph of us after the Onimal and I found and ravaged the open bar...
Miss Asia 2008
A press-photo of our attendance at the 2008 Miss Asia pageant to support V.Dubb’s little sister who’s competing this year.
(left 2 rite) Daphinator, Gabster, V.Mommy, V. Dubb, and Yours Truly.
There’s Van’s little sis, standing on stage. Last time I saw her she was only a few feet tall, now she’s taller than me with heels on.
After the show, we left the TV station with this paparazzi car tailing us all the way back to the Hotel Philafornia. They even drove into the residential parking lot to point a handy-cam in our direction as we exited our vehicle.
Here, I'll save the paparazzi the trouble of fabricating a story. This is exactly what happened after we entered the building. Van gave me a book that he wrote (I think it's about some guy named Vanness Wu), then we watched several episodes of "Married With Children" before we all decided to take a nap. We woke up a short time later and headed out to dinner. Very news-worthy indeed.
A New Cure For Momentary Insanity
This particular issue of "Beauty Pro" drove Sammy to the brink. Since I still need his wits intact for my upcoming project, I decide to save his sanity.
Faster than Billy Batson can utter the word "SHAZAM", putting on the Ng Family Chinese Martial Arts tee-shirt immediately punted Sammy's mind back to reality.
Having discovered Sammy's new found tee-shirt-given-ability to repeatedly execute the Dempsey Roll, the Onimal found it fit to challenge Sammy to a friendly sparring match that wasn't so friendly to my living room...
Philip Ng x jhde
I was recently asked to model some clothes for my good friend, Bill Tam (who just so happens to be the designer behind jhde). I was very happy to lend my support. The following are a few of the pictures we took for this endeavor (photographs by
New Monday Magazine Vol.420
Kicking.
Sitting (read it again and notice the lack of the letter "h").
Jumping.
and "posing" with the designer, Bill Tam.
Somebody To Love (and to kick in the face)
Just wrapped on an independent-romantic-kungfu-comedic-film (tentatively titled, "Somebody To Love") by the up and coming Irish director Seamus Walsh. Working on this film had me engulfed by the professionalism I had come to expect from having work on larger-scale projects, while simultaneously, the independent nature of this production gave the cast and crew very little restriction to create freely.
It was a tough shoot, but it was one of the most enjoyable projects that I had been involved with in quite a while. Seamus came up with a very clever scrīpt that drove the action quite well, and his unique sense of humor shines through in his direction. Our award-winning DP, Henry Chung pointed his new RED camera in all the right places and the image on the screen is pretty awesome. The fight sequences were placed together very well by action-director, Jude Poyer (who has done quite a bit of stunt work in

Once again, thanks for all the love and support! In the meantime, I'll be busy fighting off the Locust Horde for next couple of days ;)
Until next time!

September 16, 2008 in words and pictures...
( 繁 | 简 | 日 )Thursday, Sep 18, 2008 4:05AM / Members only
Though my birthday is on the 16th, my dear friends decided to start the celebrations a couple of days early and threw me a much appreciated and merry get-together on the Sunday before.
It was only after looking at this photo that I finally realized that our friend Raffi is a Terminator (a Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 102, I think...)
Professional singers in every corner of the room!!!
Notice Raffi attempting to hide his glowing Terminator eyes with his "seeing glasses"...
The awesome thing about having professional singers as your buddies is that during your birthday party (that happens to take place at a karaoke) you can force them to sing their own songs for your own personal amusement. It’s a like a free concert. Example one - 2R
Example two - Alive
"Oh my gosh! Aren't you the guy from that Wing Chun television series?"
Nic cheated, he had the distinctive advantage of having a "Bruce Lee" track-top on.
Getting my picture taken with my favorite two-sister-girl-band...
Absolutely no caption needed for this one.
Singing makes Race feel strong (kinda like how anger makes Bruce Banner turn green and muscular...)
Though their work schedules prevented my brothers Andy and Van from attending the party physically, the magic of modern karaoke technology was easily able to create both a virtual Onimal and a virtual V.Dubb to sing me familiar songs...
Then on the 16th, my super-duper awesome supporters and good friends threw me a party and spoiled me with awesome gifts. A big thank you to Michelle for setting this up! (
And what a coincidence! My old pal Ella was doing a photo-shoot/interview at the same restaurant that Michelle picked for my afternoon birthday party
I'm a nerd and my parents know it. Look at some of the stuff they sent me to commemorate my birth. I've got some much anticipated reading and watching to do this week.
A Big Thank You
A big thank you to all of my awesome friends who arranged and attended these two wonderfully memorable birthday celebrations for me this week. I’ve had some pretty memorably happy birthdays in the years that I have been on God’s green earth, but this is one of the best birthdays that I can remember having in a long while (sure beats playing WoW alone in my house like I did last year, lol!)
Also, a super big thank you is due to all of the kind people (you know who you are) who left me a happy birthday message in my guestbook, forum, or even in your own blogs. I read and appreciate every single message.
