The Cooking Toastmasters--Chapter Four

In Galaxy, every member is a star! ~~Pamela Yang, President of Galaxy Toastmasters Club

Upon the invitation of Incoming President Pamela Yang of Galaxy Toastmasters Club, I made up my mind to overcome the intimidating imaginary distance between her place and mine. With an aim to give Pamela a pat on her shoulder, I traveled afar to give her my heartfelt wishes and my full support of her presidency with two beautiful pumpkins freshly picked from the family farm in Chia-yi. I was eager to share with Pamela my newly developed recipes of pumpkin pies, pumpkin spaghetti, and pumpkin rice noodles.

I took the MRT Green Line from Hsin-tien to Taipei Main Station, transferred to the MRT Blue Line to Nankang, got on Bus 211. After I got off Bus 212 at the terminal stop—Old Village, I walked along a creek to a huge high-rise apartment complex at the foot of the mountain hills. It was an auspicious location of good fengsui in Chinese thinking, river in front and mountain at the back. Before long, I could smell the homemade food at the gate, 100 meters away from Pamela's door. Moses, the better half of Pamela, was greeting the guests at the door. I was the first one to arrive!

The moment I walked into the kitchen, I saw two lady Toastmasters working diligently, one was none other than the beautiful hostess Pamela, the other was Toastmaster YiHsin Tsai, Past President of Galaxy Toastmasters Club. YiHsin was busy looking after her patella on the stove. It was super yummy at the first sight! My mouth was watering! It was well worth the long journey from Hsin-tien to Nankang. How was I glad that I made it!

When Pamela called everybody à la table, we saw a magician unveil a full table of colorful European dishes, including assorted green salads, Italian appetizers, Mexican Salsa Source, Quiche Lorraine, Paella, homemade bread, and homemade thirst-quenching Summer punch, roselle lemon tea. Good cuisine went along with three bottles of good wine, Mythique, Jacob's Creek, and Pinot Noir. A homemade blueberry cheese cake was served after lunch with two kinds of coffee, first blue, followed by red. It was simply a feast of arts for olfactory and palate senses of delight and satisfaction.

Around the table, there were seven incoming officers from Galaxy. We were touched when Pamela told us she took one day off work Friday to prepare the materials for the luncheon this afternoon. It was not only the exquisitely selected and prepared food from the nature, but also the hearts of the chefs who engineered the products on the table.

After lunch, Pamela chaired the officers' meeting, every officer was eager to bring new members to the club, every officer was eager to upgrade the club quality. Even thought we didn't have time to read the article "A Quality Club Experience--Members thrive in clubs with high standards" written by Lance Miller, DTM, in the Toastmaster Magazine May issue. I'm sure I would see many rising Toastmasters stars at the best Toastmasters club--Galaxy in the future.

It was eight months ago, I wrote the Cooking Toastmasters—Chapter Three, and I hope I could soon write another chapter of the cooking Toastmasters on my blog! Many thanks to Pamela for being the fourth cooking Toastmaster and I look forward to meeting up with many more cooking Toastmasters in District 67 and beyond in the near future.

The Playback Theater "Let's Snuggle Together"

Toastmaster Piao came to the 7th Playback Theater workshop this morning. It's an open classroom for interested participants at the Wenshan PT last Saturday morning. It's also a stage for Wenshan PT members who missed the public performance last Saturday morning, May 26th.

At the PT "Let's snuggle together" this morning, I got a chance to serve as a teller to talk about my schizophrenic brother to share about the trust among sisters and brothers. It was an exciting experience sitting in the audience when the PT instructor used my story as a case study! I could learn the theater details when the instructor analyzed my story. It was encouraging! I was impressed by the PT instructor's coaching skills to catch the core of the story, to set up the scenario, to use the fabrics and chairs, and to playback the story on stage.

When another member volunteered to be a teller to talk about her new job struggle, I didn't hesitate to act on stage the three-sentence-story. As a new PT member, I still have a lot to learn, to catch the story, and to use the props. And I am determined to jump at every opportunity to act and to practice PT on stage. I shall go to 2012 TPG (Taiwan PT Gathering) in Huan-lien in August. And I plan to  participate in a 4-days PT workshop in Singapore in the near future.

The PT at Wenshan Woman and Family Service Center will come to end Tuesday morning, June 2nd, it will be resumed after the summer vacation! I shall sign up for another PT to continue honing my PT skills. The Playback Theater is certainly the best and strongest stepping stone for my new career in Theater. My ultimate goal is to organize a PT for seniors in my community, so that I can listen to and see many interesting and touching living stories!

William Shakespeare@ Red Room

The month of May has been very Shakespearean. I'd never studied William Shakespeare's plays more diligently before in my whole life. It's been a fantastic experience to know more about Shakespeare, the greatest tycoon of English literature. It's been fun to read aloud the famous lines of Romeo & Juliet, The Tragedy of Hamlet, A Midsummer-Night's Dream, As You Like It, and The Tragedy of Macbeth on Sunday afternoons.

It was at the Stage Time and Wine@ Red Room where I read William Shakespeare with enthusiastic theater lovers twice in April and thrice in May. I was first invited to the Red Room by Ruth Giordano in March this year. Ruth and I met at a Toastmasters club meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in April 2011.

Being a Toastmaster, I'm fond of meeting up with people and giving speeches in public. When Ruth invited me to the Red Room, I was flattered. I remember the Saturday evening when I slided the heavy wooden door of the Red Room for the first time, I was impressed by the large living room furnished with all sorts of exquisite antique mirrors. It was a full house of passionate and energetic people lining up to read, to sing, but most importantly, to listen.

When Ruth asked me if I would be interested in joining the Shakespeare Reading Theater hosted by the Red Room at the Fringe Festival 2012 in September. Without second thought, I jumped at the opportunities. Ruth is the Director and her better half is the Playwright.

The Shakespeare Reading Theater is a two-part event featuring Shakespeare's greatest hits. The spoken word will be presented to stimulate the imagination. It is Shakespeare to See but, especially to be heard. Part One features scenes from Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo & Juliet, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Henry V, As You Like It. Part Two is a one-act adaptation of The Tragedy of Macbeth.

First Reading, April 15th, I did the "Taming of the Shrew" for the voice audition.
Second Reading, April 29th, I attempted various roles of Part One, including Nick Bottom in A Midsummer-Night's Dream.
Third Reading, May 13th, I read various roles in Part One and Part Two.
Fourth Reading, May 20th, I read different roles in Part One.
Fifth Reading, May 27th, I read as the Narrator in Part One. I was requested to study three roles of the Tragedy of Macbeth at home in advance, including Lady Macbeth, Lady MacDuff, and the second Witch. I studied line by line of the entire script and compared it with the translated version by Professor Liang Shih-chiu. It was fun to study the background of the Tragedy of Macbeth, and to know the history of the Scottish Play.  

It was a bon voyage reading party for Ruth this afternoon as she would be back to the US with her husband for summer vacation. We had beer, cheese, biscuits. I brought a half dozen of pastéis de Belémpies and a bag of dried mint leaves. We watched DVD of Shakespeare Monologues featuring Ian McKellen. It was inspiring and entertaining! I hope I can watch all Shakespearean plays on DVDs and as many books about the art of voice acting as possible this  Summer!

The Playback Theater "Gate" on Stage

My debut Playback Theater (PT) on stage took place at the Wenshan Woman and Family Service Center this morning, May 26th, with a dozen PT actors and actresses and 52 tellers. It was a two-hours theater full of laughter and tears. It was a powerful psycho-drama for tellers, for audiences, and for actors. Everyone was somehow transformed from adversities into inspiring life purposes one way or another. I saw the soothing and therapeutic effects of PT among tellers with my own eyes.

Talking about the Playback Theater, it's about improvisation on stage. I like improvisation on stage for several reasons. Firstly, the craft of improvisation started in Italy in the 16th century. And I used to live in Italy and I leaned the Italian Language. Secondly, I have many close Italian friends. We exchange emails regularly. Last but not least, I love Italian cuisine. I am fascinated by the passionate Italian ways of communication with facial expressions, hand gestures, and vocal varieties.

I like PT where I learn to observe people around me and I find the experience enrich my life journey. In the community living classroom, I open my eyes to many on-going comedies and tragedies on daily basis. While I learn to express emotions, I also let out the inner feelings of mine. It feels great!

The Playback Theater

It's been more than one month since I joined the Playback Theater (PT) at Taipei Wen-shan Woman and Family Service Center from Tuesday morning, April 10th. The two months PT is for free to the residents in Taipei. The participants only need to pay NT$1,000 as a deposit and have the money refund after the completion of the full course.

After 6 workshops of two and a half hours each, I'm about to act out the PT on stage this coming Saturday morning, May 26th. I'm excited about the new adventures in my life journey. I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet up with the community members and to listen to their living stories!

The Playback Theater (PT) is to improvise living stories. Based upon finding essences in small stories, PT enlightens fundamental aspect of the human condition in a more general way. It makes people feel connected to a larger whole and find a sense of community despite all differences.

The PT is without a script. The teller is a person in the audience. During a performance, different persons are tellers of stories, which are episodes from their life histories elicited by the conductor. From a living story, to a performed story, the teller has the chance to see himself or herself with the gaze of the other, to experience the moment emotionally with the actors and the audience, and to experience things anew and fresh.

The conductor makes an interview with the teller and chooses among available PT forms. The moment is played back from the teller's point of view. After the performance of story, the actors look at the teller, make a bow of respect. The conductor asks the teller if she or he recognizes the story as his or her story.

In PT, the actors think and act on feet. The performance is built upon improvisation. The improvisation takes place within the PT forms, to use sound, verbal language, music, movement, acting. Chairs and pieces of cloth are used to imply a cluster of expressions.

The PT forms basically work either in a story telling mode (Narrative V, three-sentence-story, tableau, long form story) or in a mood of being (fluid sculptures, pairs, chorus, dance). The most desired ability of the actors is to be able to empathize with the tellers. The skills of the actors, the musician and the conductor should be present and mindful.

PS: The fluid sculpture is a sculpture in motion. In a group of three, each actor responds to a word or phrase given from the story teller in the audience. The narrative V is where the actors stand in a V shape and the lead actor does expressive movements, along with some narration, while those upstage actors follow along with the leader. The long form story is the most complex. It requires a larger group of performers onstage.

District 67 Spring Conference

Tellus Theater 106 & 107

6th Class--April 15th--2nd Group Rehearsal
I dragged myself to the Tellus Theater this morning. I was 30 minutes late, but I was the second one to arrive next to Piao. It seemed that everybody had a good excuse to be late. Director Daniel couldn't make it a rule to start the rehearsal on time, he was afraid that nobody would show up if he insisted on punctuality.

Now I'm encountering a bottleneck in my pursuit of theater excitement. My enthusiasm is gone. My patience is running out. There is not a core at the Tellus Theater. Everyone is an amateur and acts like an amateur. Nobody respects the virtue of punctuality. There is no discipline among the members. I wonder how long I could sustain the desire in my heart about acting with a group of people short of teamwork spirit!

After lunch, I continued the group rehearsal for one hour. At 3PM, I left Tellus to join the rehearsal of the Shakespeare play at the Red Room. It was a good break for me. Maybe another theater will be a better one. Let's wait and see!

7th Class--April 22nd--3rd Group Rehearsal
It was the 2nd consecutive Sunday morning that I was late for the Tellus Theater. I was the third member to arrive next to Piao and Sophia. Nate called to be late for one hour because he caught a flu. Ibrahim was still in Australia. The 7th class started one hour late with four participants. After lunch, a Russian girl showed up for her role. We rehearsed twice her part and then she left for the day. Then Hanks showed up for his role and we rehearsed his part for a couple of times before he left.

At the end of the 7th class, I couldn't help but complaining about the management of the Tellus Theater. I felt like an idiot waiting for others to rehearse their roles. It's hard for me to continue the rehearsal with a bad attendance rate and no sufficient actors and actresses. With new people coming in and out, each rehearsal is forever a new rehearsal!

As much as I want to keep my commitment, I'm dropping out of Tellus Theater for several reasons. Firstly, I'm the oldest member in the group. It is hard for me to break the generation gap between me and the rest of the members. Secondly, I prefer a theater with organization and structure. I need a guideline to learn a new trick.

Last but not least, I'm not interested in a Poor Theater. Being a lady of vanity, I'm willing to pay for an impressive debut play with strong cast, outstanding music designer, stage designer, lighting designer, costume designer to create the theater effect, to add impact to the audience and to leave proud memories for ourselves!

To be honest, I feel sorry that I quit Tellus. I really like "Six Characters in search of An Author" by Luigi Pirandello. It is his master piece of Commedia dell'Arte. The play was full of conflicts between the actors and character on stage, make-believes and real in life.

Tellus Theater 105

5th Class--April 8th--1st Group Rehearsal
On Easter Sunday, we had the fifth class with Daniel from dawn till dusk. I was the first to arrive as always, followed by Piao, and many others. Daniel must have arrived much earlier to clean up the O Space. He looked young and handsome with his newly cut short hair. When I complimented his new hair style, he told me he had a superb hair dresser!

At 9:20, Daniel began the workshop by introducing to us more warm up excises to relax our bodies and minds, including tube exercise, neck exercise, and body exercise. I found these corrective exercises useful and remedial to keep our postures right and straight.

After the warm up exercises, we attempted the trans gender game. I didn't find it hard to play a man, either with a female partner or by myself. As the color of the gender fades in modern society, everyone can be a man or a woman as he or she wishes. Then we took turns playing the sex providers. Female students were asked to play prostitutes, male students were asked to play gigolos and rent-boys. After the role plays, we agreed a field study in Wan-hua would be a must for us to have a better look at the real life of a prostitute on the street.

For lunch, Daniel took us to a Vietnamese restaurant in the neighborhood. The young couple (a Taiwanese man and a Vietnamese wife) owners have a son and a daughter. Many annual portraits of the daughter were hung on the wall behind the cash register. They reminded me of my childhood in a military community in Chia-yi, the struggle of the hard working parents to survive in a new world with the hope to see the children grow up each day.

In the afternoon, we resumed the group exercise, in a pair or a team of 3. Daniel handed each group a news clip and asked us to play it out. Ibrahim Uluca and I worked on the recent news of the Australian visa application in Hong Kong. Being an Australian, Ibrahim performed well as the immigration officer from Australia asking for a special favor in his office in Taipei from a Taiwanese woman wishing to go to Australia desperately.

Then we changed partners for the second group exercise. We were told to act out photo clips from the newspaper. Sophia and I gave a story about a knitted scarf. We played mother and daughter arguing about the relationship between the daughter and her boyfriend. Be a middle age woman, I have fewer roles to play, but the mother and the prostitute.

After the group exercise, Daniel announced the roles of "Six Characters in Search of an Author" for the first group voice rehearsal. I played the leading actress, I had only a few lines in the first Act. With an abridged script in Chinese in hand, I had time to ponder upon the lines written by Pirandello and to link to the Commedia dell'Arte. I wonder what it was like when "Six Characters in Search of an Author" was played in Tokyo in 1924.

At 6PM, Daniel gave us a break after the first Act. I didn't stay for dinner and the second Act in the evening. I was exhausted! It's been a long day for my mind and body!

PS:When was the last time you went to a theater? What is your most impressive play? If I'm asked with the above two questions, I shall say, I've seen so many movies and plays recently. I visit CKS Performing Arts Library regularly. I read a dozen books about drama and theater on weekly basis. I participate in theater workshops on weekends. I'm devouring ferociously the knowledge of drama and theater to the best of my ability.

Toastmaster Piao and I saw Nuovo cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore at CKS Performing Arts Library Wednesday, April 13th. The moment Piao played the film, I knew I saw it before. But, I didn't mind watching it again for the second time. It's about a filmmaker's childhood. Salvatore fell in love with the movies at his village's theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist Alfredo.

Taipei Exchanges

Monica likes Taiwan for many reasons, convenient transportation, delicious food, friendly people, most of all, her old friends at the Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto in 2000-2001.

It's been two years since her last visit during the Spring break in 2010. She and Mei stayed my brother Jimmy's place for three days. We had a small school reunion among us to celebrate our 10th anniversary. In the past two years, Monica has achieved a lot, being promoted in her company and purchasing her own house in Hong Kong.

Monica arrived in Taipei at noon on April fool's day. After lunch at Brother Jimmy's place, we headed for the Shilin Official Residence. We enjoyed a pleasant Sunday afternoon walk at the gardens of both Chinese and Western style horticulture before we visited the former home of Chiang Kai-Shek and Soong May-ling. The official residence house opened to the public from January 2, 2011.

After a light dinner at the Shilin night market, we hurried back to Jimmy's place to watch "Taipei Exchanges", a movie features a lovely coffeehouse with side barter service in Taipei. Monica was eager to find the coffeehouse in the movie. I didn't know its existence till after Monica returned to Hong Kong.

The second evening at Jimmy's place, Monica and I watched "You Are the Apple of My Eye". In the morning, we went to Wu-lai for one day tour. We took the cable to Yun Hsien Resort in the mountains, enjoyed a lovely seasonal lunch at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor of the Yun Hsien Hotel. In the afternoon, we joined the crowd to find the hot spring along the river in the old aboriginal town of Wulai.

The third day, we went to the Calla Lily Festival at Yangmingshan National Park. It was when we saw the Taipei Exchanges Sunday evening, we made up our minds to see an ocean of blooming calla lily. On our way to the calla lily farm, it started raining. We took it easy to rest at a coffeehouse sipping latte by the farm. To my surprise, the sun came out in time for us to take a lot of beautiful photos of calla lily of 2012!

Monica caught the night bus to Taichung to visit Mei for two days, followed by a hanami at the Ali Mountain, and the Spring Scream 2012 at the Kenting National Park. From Monica's spring vacation, it's obvious Monica is a planner. I wish her luck to find Mr. Right in her life plan soon in the future.

Tellus Theater 104

4th Class--March 25th--2nd Group Reading of "Six Characters in search of An Author" by Pirandello
Upon my invitation, the 4th class fell on the last Sunday in March at Brother Jimmy's place. We had a big dinner after class. Brother Jimmy prepared a full table of authentic Chinese dishes. Eric brought the most famous Brownie from Piemonte in Yung-ho. Daniel brought a bottle of rum from Cuba. An ocean of thanks to them!

During the 4th class, we took turns reading ACT II of "Six Characters in Search of an Author". Everybody was eager into the performance when Daniel instructed us how to put feelings and emotions into the play. Sometimes we were instructed to speak in various dialects, sometimes we were instructed to play in various roles of people from all walks of life, especially those in the margins of the society, not to mention the flirtation, seduction, outrageous scenes.

After class, I have more to study on my desk. I feel like a Ph.D. Candidate in Drama. I need to know as much of the world of drama and theater as soon as possible. I want to be ready before the rehearsals. Whenever Daniel mentions a play, I want to know exactly what character he is talking about, and I can play the role to his satisfaction. Isn't it like the defense of a dissertation?

In order to know the spirit of Pirandelllo, I have the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri in my hand. It is time I finished reading the difficult to read book this week. Among the Italian literary works, I like the Decameron, the 14th-century medieval allegory by Giovanni Boccaccio the best. All 100 tales from the erotic to the tragic told by ten young people were inspiring and exciting.

PS:Daniel recommended the list of a dozen plays last Christmas. They are (1)A streetcar named desire by by Tennessee Williams, (2)The glass menagerie by Tennessee Williams, (3)Long day's journey into night by Eugene O'Neill, (4)Miss Julie by August Strindberg, (5)A doll's house by Henrik Ibsen, (6)Three sisters by Anton Chekhov, (7)Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen, (8)Salome, (9)The importance of being Earnest, (10)Ulysses, (11)The tricycle, (12)Picnic on the battlefield.

Daniel mentioned six plays during the 4th workshop. They are (1) What The Butler Saw by Joe Orton, (2) The Balcony by Jean Genet, (3)My Beautiful Laundrette by Stephen Frears from a screenplay by Hanif Kureishi, (4)Nuovo cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore, (5)Miss Julie by August Strindberg, (6)Decadence by Steven Berkoff, (7)A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick.

PS:Toastmaster Piao Lin called me in the pharmacy at noon Wednesday, March 28th. She asked me if I would be interested in a coffee gathering with her after work at the Bean Work recommended by Daniel. I was delighted that Piao asked, and I loved the Portuguese cheese cake Piao bought for me from Piemonte, upon my request.

After the afternoon coffee adventure, Piao and I headed for the Central Library Taiwan Branch across the street. Being a card holder of the old library in Taipei, I haven't used the card for more than 15 years. I was excited to know where the new library is in Yung-ho. The building is big and modern with a marvelous view of the Park No. 4. I plan to visit the library after work every Monday and Wednesday afternoon.

With Piao's library card, I borrowed two books, (1)Four Great Play (A Doll's House, The Wild Duck, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People) by Henrik Ibsen; (2)Plays (Ivanov, The Seagull, Uncle Vania, Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard, The Bear, The Proposal, A Jubilee) by Anton Chekhov.

In the evening, I watched the movie of "My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)" by Stephen Frears from a screenplay by Hanif Kureishi. It was an inspiring movie about the Pakistani immigrants from Karachi seeking their new lives in the city of London. It reminded me of my business trip to Lahor for a week in 1995.

Toastmaster Piao Lin will start her graduate school in Autumn. My best wishes to her admission to National Taiwan University. With her encouragement, I'm thinking seriously about going to the graduate school of drama and theater at National Taiwan University!

Tellus Theater 103

3rd Class--March 18th--1st Group Reading of "Six Characters in Search of An Author" by Pirandello
"After keeping a web diary for three years, I wish I could have a change, maybe a playwright if I know more about the theater" just when I thought to myself, I received an invitation from Toastmaster Bill Wan to join a new play of Tellus Theater.

Wow! what a serendipity! It would be a just-in-time learning experience to work on the script line by line by a famous playwright with the actors, actresses, and the Director. Yes, learning the secrets of a playwright by acting in a play! Isn't it a motto of the Toastmasters--Learning by Doing?

After two warm-up audition workshops at the O Space in the previous Sunday afternoons, we gathered at MRT Ximen Exit 1 at 2PM. Director Daniel couldn't wait to bring us to his favorite coffeehouse, the Sol Cafe', behind the Red Building this afternoon, March 18th. On a huge outdoor coffee plaza, there were only seven of us, six green hands and Director Daniel of Tellus Theater.

I was excited to know what we were about to read today. It was one of the master pieces of the Nobel Prize-winning dramatist Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936). While Daniel instructed us to take turns reading Act I of "Six Characters in Search of an Author", he told us stories of Pirandello and his ideas to change the theater form to intervene reality and illusion, to interplay the real and make believe, among actors and characters on stage.

It was the first time I visited the Sol Cafe'. Sol means sun in Spanish. It was the perfect place for us to study a play written by a Sicilian. I liked Sol's Okinawa Black Sugar Cappuccino recommended by Daniel, and I loved Sol's brownie with ice cream. It was another intellectual and theatrical Sunday afternoon with Gourmet Director Daniel and theater enthusiasts to satisfy our bodies and minds.

On my way home, I pondered upon my wishful thinking. I want to be an author, but I don't have a story in me. Funny and hilarious it was when I received "Six Characters in Search of An Author" by Pirandello from Director Daniel. In stead of an author creating the characters, it was the characters who looked for an author. It was an extraordinary experience to see the relationships between the author and the characters.

The moment I arrived home, I found the e-scrip of the play and an unabridged audio script in mp3 on the internet. As promised, I e-mailed them to my classmates. And I finished reading and listening to the "Six Characters in Search of an author" overnight.

PS: Toastmaster Piao Lin and I watched the DVD of "Six Characters in Search of an Author" (1976) adapted Paul Avila Mayer, directed by Stacy Keach at the CKS Arts Library Wednesday afternoon, March 21st. I borrowed the script by Rober Brustein of American Repertory Theater at 1995 Taipei International Festival of the Arts. I finished reading the Chinese script overnight.

How lucky I was to run into Pirandello, one of the most innovative playwrights of the twentieth century and also one of the most complex. Like many first-time audiences and readers, I was confronted and overwhelmed with the difficulty associated with such a radical and aesthetic experience.

When Daniel asked us what roles we would attempt at the Sol Cafe', I concluded that all characters and actors of Pirandello were hard to play. If I could change my mind, I thought it would be easier to be a playwright because those who can't play, write the play. Just like those who can't do it, teach it.

Who knows, maybe Daniel will give me the role as the Director! Ha! Ha! Ha! 不能寫作, 就寫劇本吧! 不能演戲, 那就導戲吧!
