He came to pick us up from our house and it was so nice to see him after so long! I barely see him at all and today must be about the third time I met him. He is really easygoing though. We reached their office at Setia Walk and then he brought us up a few floors to their show room.
Piccas in the hallway.
This is my first time wearing something so mature. People really can change their looks by changing the way they dress.
Trying the protruding butt pose.

(So maaaany mirrors at the show room.)
It was quite spacious and cool. After he gave us a tour of the unit, we sat down at the living room to discuss about our plot and also to decide on how to shoot the scenes. We had decided to use an 'agent' character and so Yau requested the help of some of the employees downstairs in the office since they look mature enough.

Which is also a room in the original unit. They modified the area.

Quite some time passed, they came up along with a friend, so there were a total of three of them. After knowing that it was a video, they freaked out and said they didn't wanna do it. "I thought it was just for a picture!" We actually asked Yau to do it but since they came (and one of them walked all the way from Tesco), it might as well be one of them. They called another friend and placed their hope on him.
He finally arrived and luckily he decided to do it. He was quite young, probably younger than 30 years old. After he changed into his 'agent' outfit, Yau gave him a briefing on what to do. We tweaked some stuff along the way in order for it to look better. It felt nice discussing the plot as I felt more involved and were able to do better.
The 'agent' guy was very natural at acting lol. He had questions to ask and things to say about the unit every take so that we would look like we are convincingly chatting. It wasn't really awkward even from the start. Yau said our acting is very natural haha. It's my first time in a video so I'm thankful for this opportunity! Sis acted for her English assignment and she said it was fun so I was hoping to try it too.
The other three guys that were there were a bit scary though. Not only did they keep looking at us, but they also were a bit rude. They laughed a lot and hung around not really doing anything. Towards the end, one of them even took out his phone and tried to take pictures of us with his friend, the 'agent', while we were filming. One other guy was a little cocky; strong in talking but not strong in action.
All of this I still can take it but I didn't like it when they started to belittle Yau, bullying him in a way. Maybe they thought it was funny, but to me, it was cruel. I didn't even try to smile. I helped Yau as much as I could and thought of how useless these men are, and it's bad enough they are all older than us. It pains me to see Yau being treated like that.
"Are you sure you know how to use the camera? You look like you don't!"
"Are you doing the shooting?" *laughs*
Etc, etc.
It's bad enough that Yau kept answering politely which actually fuels their words.
One thing for sure; if you are a pretty girl, things are definitely easier for you. At least they didn't prey on us and I am grateful the 'agent' guy is actually sane.
Yau wanted to treat us to food as a thank you but we said it was OK. I quite enjoyed the day. He said that his birthday is coming and asked us if we want to go karaoke. Of course! He knew our uni is starting very soon too so he arranged for it to be the beginning of the sem when we have some spare time. And so next week, we are going singing!!
I look forward to meeting again with Yau. I told him that whenever he have free time, he can call us out to meet and we will be there. Just hope that we can offer some support and friendship as he has already graduated and is having some shitty time at the part time job in which he will be working for three months. Thankfully. He will be working full time in TM once this duration is over. Unfortunately he graduated already so I didn't get to meet him much. My first sem was his last sem. :(
Good luck, Yau! Thank you SO MUCH for this opportunity. ^v^
