What are you thoughts on open relationship?

I've mentioned before I have no issue with it as long as all parties are consensual and safe about it.
I wouldn't like to have one for mine though.

Do you feel that loop lighting is the best for your face?

Yes. Cause I have a flat round Asian face with soft features.

Don't mind me asking, but what camera did you guys used for the NYE Play event. Saw the photos on facebook, the quality awesome. Kinda wanting to get a new camera now. So yeah. Care to share? :)

I don't know what our photographer was using, to be honest, but I'd imagine it'd be at least of the medium-high range.
However, the camera I use to take PLAY photos back when I was shooting for them was a Canon 7D with 18-135mm kit lens and 580EXII flash.

Have you dated malay guys? You should try!

Never dated one before. Been interested in few. If the right one comes, he'll come, regardless of race.

Now that you have travelled more, would you still go to China to surprise a friend like you did last time?

Definitely. I would still travel halfway across the world even if at the end of the trip it was 'wasted effort'. Money and possessions can always be acquired (and lost). Time and experience, however, I find more valuable.
If someone gave me nothing else but a one-way plane ticket to New York now, with absolutely nothing else - no place to stay, no spending cash, I would take it. I would take it and fly. Then figure it out when I'm there.

Do you find it a tough responsibility that many gay teenage boys now idolize you ?

Sometimes. I've had to watch what I say. I know many people can't tell when I'm being tongue-in-cheek, that's a problem. It may seem like I condone certain behaviors when in actual fact it's the opposite.
On the other hand, I think 'idolize' is a huge exaggeration.

Have you been waiting for your ask.fm followers to ask you certain questions, but remain surprised that no one has asked them yet? If so, what questions, or types of questions would you like to be asked so that you have the opportunity to answer them.

Well where's the magic in that?
Haha, though nothing comes to my mind at the point of time.

Would you open a PO Box so your followers could send you stuff ? what do you think of bloggers/vloggers who do that ?

Why would I need to do that? I don't think I would even have the volume to justify having that.
As for the second part of the question, I think it makes sense. It's just privacy.

Has living and working overseas ever crossed your mind? If it has, where?

Many times. I had a very rough period where I was getting increasingly frustrated with the film industry as as freelancer. I closed my company, rejected clients, berated people on set, and lost all mood to continue filming. I wanted to tell stories, make films, but all it seemed I was doing was forgettable ineffective nonsense.
My voice and opinions were not given a chance to be heard but consumed by senior film executives and the ego that comes with age and experience on set. I did hard work for pitiful payment and most of my time was settling business matters rather than actually shooting. I was tired of "Hey listen to my idea!" and nothing happens because they don't realize you can't make a fucking movie for $300 without a LOT of favors. My rate at that point of time was already $600 per day just to hold a video camera. So much hot air, so little action.
I needed to escape, and I did think as far as Canada to start over, but I was urged many times to head back to Kuching before the industry matures there. I knew that was a long shot, but I did ask around and nobody had anything to offer me. They didn't need a Singaporean. I applied for a studio job in KL and pretty much almost begged them to take me over, citing I even had a house in KL and can leave Singapore any time. They didn't get back to me. It went even to the point I started looking for jobs at McDonald's or some data entry desk job.
Right when I was about to give up, PLAY came along. I was finally able to get back on my feet.

Have you watch the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"? Unlike movies like The Matrix which purposefully poked at our understanding of reality, a particular scene in the movie kick-started my own self-reflection process. It's a 3 hour+ movie though.

I've always wanted to watch it, but haven't been able to find the time (and relevant movie partner)
Tell me which scene caught your attention.

When you were 17, you used to imagine a lot... and imagine in some ways that your life could be anything. Do you still have that feeling now? Or have your dreams manifested themselves into something more realistic?

Yes I do. Although, you're right to say it's less idealistic than when I was 17. I still believe the world is huge enough with abundant opportunities for anything to happen. The 'realistic' part, however, kicks in when you start thinking of how you're gonna get from point A to point B.
It's easy to when you're 17 and full of fire to just barge in head on with utter disregard of collateral damage. at 26 now, you're a bit more sensitive to the environment around you.
In some, ways, being 'realistic' comes with a price. 'Realistic' means you start thinking about, say, the family, the house, the partner, whatever. The things that tie you down. I'm a person that prefers to be able to let things go at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I feel the obligations I have to certain things are hindering me from going out there and achieving what I want.
But I guess it's all about moderation.

As a self-professed introvert, when you are in your room by yourself, what are your quieter moments really about? What really goes through your head - what kind of mental chatter would we hear if we could just 'tune in' and listen?

Something very few people actually know is the fact that, given my own space and privacy, I start talking to myself. This would have been relatively normal, if it wasn't for the fact that I speak in many voices with different accents and characters all naturally flowing out from this zen center deep in my brain. I create stories out of nowhere with these characters bantering at each other. I think they're pretty funny. They're rarely ever touching on anything serious - an old English butler having a debate with a deranged squealing mad man about... whether the latter wants a cup of coffee.
Two of my dates have seen my fall into this creative trance; I pick up stuffed toys, give them voices, make stupid jokes and start laughing myself all across the floor.
On days where melancholy weighs heavily in the air, I think about my past, the people I've lost. I think about what am I, who I am. I think about all the successes I have made, and whether or not they mean anything to me. Occasionally I'll dream up a scene with a moral dilemma and have two characters argue their points out. It's basically me arguing with myself and my differing opinions, while at the same time I observe what's happening as a third person. "Where do I stand on this?"
I guess they're mostly reflective. I think rarely of material wants or possessions. My head has many voices, actors, personalities. In it also exists whole worlds of vast open fields that these characters traverse through as they speak. Nothing is organized. Everything is organic and random.

In your past posts related to financial advise, you mentioned that 'you got rid of lots of stuff.' Are you still a hoarder? What advise would you give someone who's trying to reform their hoarding habits?

In some ways I'm still a hoarder. I've gotten into the habit of throwing receipts away. I've a huge trashbag that I leave in my room so it's really easy to throw a lot of stuff when I feel like it.
I hoard one thing now: coins. At the end of each day, I take whatever coins I find in my pocket and throw them into a plastic bag. I don't think of that as 'savings', but just something I like to see accumulate. I don't like carrying coins, so it's a win win for me.
I guess one trick to get one to kick the hoarding habits is to reflect, accept and understand that whatever sentimental feelings you have for some random item is nonsense. You didn't even think about that item the past 7 months you had it chucked under a pile of crap, you won't miss it 5 years later after you throw it away.
If you really want to keep some sort of memory of it, then take a nice picture of it. And throw the item/s away. I'm gonna bet even you aren't going to look at that picture for a very long time.

Is the proper gay friend in army well known in the scene?

He's got his own name now doing his own thing. That's about as much as I will reveal.

So when did you know you were gay?

I've always been in denial right up till the point I was 21. I even had a boyfriend when I was 17. Even then I was in denial.
I've always sort of knew I was gay ever since I was a child. I had a certain unique fondness for my male friends, had crushes on some of them. I've even had a crush on one of my sister's dates when I was 11 years old. But it never really seem to cross my mind that I was gay. It just felt like.... it couldn't happen to me. My childhood had little to no reference to what homosexuality was, so I was ignorant about it. It was something very foreign.
I think it was pretty obvious to other people, though. All my life it was an eventuality that someone in class would call me gay, and my cousins or same-age relatives will mock me for being 'soft' or 'gay' when I was playing with them.
In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I guess I've always sort of known.

When did you come out?

I was 21 years old, still in the Army. I met my first 'proper' gay friend during BMT. He brought me out. That's when I realized we had such a vibrant gay community.

Do you consider yourself an exhibitionist?

I do have an inclination every now and then. So, mildly exhibitionistic I guess.

Do you think ask.fm needs a tagging structure to help organize your posts, or do you think leaving it as a single stream is best? How would improve ask.fm's search functions and make locating past posts more efficient?

Definitely. I've answered hundreds of questions already in a few months. I think tagging would help a LOT. It's a shame because newer followers wouldn't be able to see the better answers when I first started this account... at least not without dedicated effort.

Why do you think people 'stuff' their life with things they don't really need? Why do people have consumptions habits that aren't maximizing their personal happiness and pleasure?

Because we're human beings and not robots. It isn't always black and white, either or.

How does 'straight privilege' affect your life as a gay man?

Personally, I don't think it has affected me in any way. At least not my life, per se.

Hello Handsome (; I keep bumping to you on the streets these days but I really wanted to say hi to you. Just afraid I might go freaky and fan-boy or what not :/

Haha that's cute. :)
