今天，收到我渴望已久的DVD.  去年，我曾经帮过一个non-profit organization 做过义务化妆师。去过片场两日。之后就是无止境的等待。等后期制作，等发行，等有份参与的人士终于得到自己的免费copy. 足足等了我至少半年的时间。今天终于收到我的copy. 急不及待地打开观看。DVD很短，只有24分钟。时间太久了，我都忘记当时自己化过谁。就是记得那些cast个个都熟口熟面。有些scene是我化的，有些又不是。Anyway, 个妆都算自然。话晒个故事是讲high school girls， 不过有些pimples还是hide 不住。很明显！算是败笔吧！不过第一次的片场实践经验，我给自己70分吧。成个DVD, 令人最激动就是看到戏尾，演员与工作人员的介绍表。不知道为什么，突然觉得很紧张。不知道会不会见到自己个名？会不会后期制作的人忘记放我这个微不足道的人呢？如果没有看见自己的名字，会不会很失望呢？看见一个一个的名字出现了，又消失了，还是没有看见自己的名字，那种不安感，有如坐针毡。然后见到屏幕上出现了“Key Makeup Artist……,”  那个人，不知道是谁。再之后，看见 “makeup artist,” 后面跟着Lander Cai! 那一刻，突然觉得很有成就感！原来平时自己根本不会去留意的东西，在这一霎那，代表一种肯定，一种尊敬。实在太开心了！开心得难以用笔墨去形容！

虽然只DVD,名不见经传，但有着属于自己的一部分，也算是成功的开始吧。期待有一天，在真正剧院上映的戏尾能看见属于自己的名字！ 

DVD的名字是Adina's Desk( http://www.adinasdeck.com/，) 我有份参与的是episode 2 & 3.

I never felt really intimate with my family. My parents divorced when I was young. I was then sent to a boarding school since nobody had the time to take care of me.

Isolation is the best punishment. Boarding school is a small community, and karma has a fast turn around there. Do bad and you will be boycotted. When you are alone, you are forced to think.

Power is addictive. I was a bully at school and I slapped my classmates or stole their boyfriends whenever I felt like it.

Anything pink, with lace or stuck with a butterfly knot is disgusting.

Children from a broken family have a signature sad look. I can tell when I see one. Children from a healthy family are happier and more family-oriented.

Who wants to be a career woman? Definitely not me.

With our maternal instincts, I think it is natural for women to prioritize family first and take care of their kids.

It’s sad when some single women have to work non-stop to earn enough to com- pensate for their sense of insecurity.

Women depreciate with age; men appreciate with age.

It is only natural that career women are single. Many career women find it hard to get a husband because they have put work before anything else. Worse still, they are only attracted to work-oriented men who are even busier.

Everyone says they hate politics, but they inevitably become part of it.

I worked as a management trainee at a big local corporation. I hated it. I didn’t want to end up with a fat ass and swollen feet, complaining about the freezing temperature every day.

“Being diplomatic” is a very nice way to say ass kissing. It is human nature twisted.

People are easily offended when they have big egos. A blunt person like me can hurt people unknowingly.

I can’t stand it when people spend their time pleasing their boss rather than working on their jobs. But that’s the Chinese for you – relationships are everything.

Female bosses are jealousy-prone. Their judgment is colored by emotions all of the time. If you are young, beautiful and capable, you are dead.

I would rather earn the respect from a few brilliant individuals than from the masses, which are usually wrong and shallow

There is no depth in our “instant culture.” We want instant gratification in everything we do. We want tabloid news, dramatic pictures with exposed nipples. The local magazines satisfy all these.

I feel naked in the public eye. I got wasted for two weeks after intimate pictures of me and Terence Lam Ching-tai made covers of the tabloid magazines. But after that, everyone started talking about Lydia Shum and forgot the whole thing

Reality is unforgiving. You get fat, you lose your job.

I would rather die than become the kind of woman who only visits foreign shopping malls while traveling. No sophisticated man would enjoy being with a culture-illiterate.

I like younger guys not because I like toyboys. Younger people are more flexible and willing to change.

Torture is my specialty. I love making emotional attacks. I once yelled at my boyfriend for 10 minutes for misplacing his toothbrush. That was fun... I was such a bitch.

Power is much more tempting than wealth. I want to influence society... Not sure how to get there, though.

But I like her attitude! 我buy佢！因為佢寸得起！
