   There’s always a person who looks & pretend he or she is fine but is dying inside.
   There’s always a person who’s always posting sad messages claiming all is fine.
   There’s also always this person who look as if the whole world is oweing he/she everything when they themselves didn’t seize their day when they could.

   I realized we all become very good actors without realizing it, and actors without wanting to.

   To pretend or not to, is a choice. The more it is practiced, it becomes a character flaw. The world may seem like a stage to many, but is it really worth it at the end of the day? To face the ultimate judgment?

   Both are equally good actors. To try to act as an extreme is difficult.
   The one who puts everything on his face is a dramatic person, who exaggerates his emotions to try to be in control of the situation, or merely just for the sake of the attention. However, this could be essentially part of the personality, and there is nothing to act upon.
   The one who puts nothing on his face, is numb, and cold. Afraid of everything, who had gone through multiple trauma that one could never imagined. Pained to the slightest disapproval. Emotions that are very subtle, never fully surfaced. How is that possible? Emotions are innate, are usually felt and perceived instantaneously, even before “displaying on one’s face”. The environment shaped the person to become “odd”, there wasn’t anything much to act upon, unless the person seeks attention.
   High self monitoring people are more capable in hiding emotions and thoughts when appropriate. Tend to monitor surroundings and change behavior to fit in. Low self monitoring people do not conceal their emotions and thoughts. Tend to use inner beliefs and values in deciding how to behave. You are either more HSM or LSM. It can be measured like a scale. http://www.outofservice.com/self-monitor-censor-test/
   This is from a psychological point of view. (what I am majoring now).

   Whether someone is acting or not, it is subjective. Everyone has their own life story.
   Sometimes the world judge more, and listen less. It’s better not to judge.

   hi elvin..this has nothing to do with your post… Saw you at orchard the other day.. and you look different from the screen..
   Found you familiar and was wondering who you are… Thought you’re a friend of mine as I was away for about 8 years.. but it turns out that you’re an actor and not my friend.. :)

   Everyone is an actor.
   Either they do not want their love ones to worry about them by putting up a strong front or simply cant be bothered with the surrounding.
   I think it depends on how each individual interpret it.

   I think the one who puts everything on the face is the scariest of all,since they have puts everything on the face means they are wearing masks on it,you should stay away from them.

   For the one who puts nothing on the face,if you really know the person,i am sure you will know if they are good or not?But if you don”t know the person,then you have to trust your own instincts.

   I don”t pretend to be someone i am not,no matter what,i will always be myself,do the right things,and make the right choices.

   I agree with Aud & Yvonne. 但面具若是 ‘正派’ 的，OK吧？

   只有在自己觉得舒服，可以信赖的朋友面前，我才会赤裸裸地，放心地，把面具拿掉，放声大哭、大吃大喝、不顾形象、把封闭的自己释放出来。但其实以前的我，不会把不开心跟他人分享，因为不想他们因为我的事而不开心！人很难做eh!

   每个人都有另一面吧？但是好是坏，就看个人咯！也没必要解释吧？因为，人家也不一定认同。解释多了，还真累。

   我已慢慢学习，不那么在乎他人眼光，不把他人的accusations 放在心里, because those who mind dont matter, and those who matter dont mind :-) 只要问心无愧，就够了吧？难受，会很快过吧？找朋友聊一聊，哭一哭，喝一喝，心里就不会想着那些人了吧。

   Elvin, we love you just the way you are ;p

    As long as you know what you are doing, when to enter and when to exit, it is fairly good and enough. Reason: Every one in this world has many roles to play. Just do your best in evey role you need to be in.

    =D
    Jia you, Elvin!

    the one who put everything on his face but not real with it. rather people who dont put anything on their face are people refuse to be fake but hide away from their true emotion. where it a choice and not a fake.

    When the camera is rolling, the one who puts everything on his face is the better actor.

    In real life, the one who puts nothing on his face is the better actor.

    Really love reading your blog because it always is so inspirational. Not as in the way it inspires me to do something but to think about something which it never crossed my mind that I should even spare a thought for it.

    Hahaha can’t tell you whether who is the better actor, the one who puts everything on the face or doesn’t put anything on his face. It’s so hard a question. :(

    Whatever it is, I believe in inner peace because for that, nobody can disrupt your peace of mind, whether is it “hypocrisy and lies, masks and facades, necessary editions and pretences, or is it of rawness and realness, or a relative lack of control and edition”

    Jiayou elvin! (:

    Hi Elvin

    It has been almost half a year since I wrote here. I have been so busy, in work and at home. But now, everything has been more or less settle down so I’m here again

    Oh yes! Code of honour debut in ch8 le. Very impressive on those stunts and strokes or whatever martial arts that u ‘perform’ in this drama. U might think that u have not done so well in it but it really came out to be very good. Others might give negative comments but jus bear in mind u hv already done your very best. 毕竟吊钢线，在半空中旋转，踢腿，出拳，是不容易的

    I retype my post 3 times le cos it keeps on truncating if I leave a line for paragraphing. Izzit my problem or your blog page problem? So now i dun wan to leave line le. Anyway, to answer who is the best actor ? When we are happy, we will smile. When we are sad, we will cry. When we are separated, we will miss each other. When we are in pain, we will groan. For those who don’t know how to react the above is the BEST actor. And for those who know how to react accordingly to their feelings is a REAL person :) BTW, has your back recovered ?

    SEE U SOON

    This is nothing related to your post. Just wanted to say I have always been a Mediacorp skeptic but you managed to keep my eyes glued to Channel 8 for an hour tonight. Keep up the good work :)
