寫開有條路，one thing
leads to another，那就也來記錄這個昨天我本來就想這麼做的。照片中的人名叫Vale
Wong。( *題外話：OMG 上一帖的照片是John TAN Kathy TAN 而現在竟然是Douglas
WONG Vale WONG )
我跟他是在劇場認識的。如果你有看ONS的話，他就是在一開場幫塔塔羅塔塔唱 “Hello～it’s me …” 的那把好聲音。他也在ONS負責演員的歌唱訓練、編舞和現場演奏。那三位在劇中讓人無法忽視、不能不愛的Sexy、Happy & Easy 就是在他的調教之下，才會有了讓人眼前一亮的精彩表現的。
對上一次跟他頻繁互動是因為我在做《傻孩子》歌曲時出了狀況，在大半夜臨時請他出手幫忙，他還很天才那樣在兩小時內搞定給我。而過去兩天我跟他忽然又有了頻繁互動。
對於這一次的互動，我深感自己是幸運的，我更由衷珍惜Vale對我的有心表達。至於我自己對上一次有雷同舉動是在看了Ola Bola電影後，因為覺得自己很有衝動想把想法表達給Chiu導和編劇陳鈺瑩知道，所以貿貿然給二位傳的簡訊。
以下是我在這美麗的星期六必須藉機記錄的生命之美好邂逅。

“Hey, I can't believe you didn't get nominated for anything.
Ma not be appropriate for me to say this, but I saw you work your magic every
single show, and am sure that there isn't a person in the industry more
deserving of a nomination than you, especially in ONS. Just a quick note to say
that you're truly incredible in that role and I… Love, Vale”
我回應 ：
“appreciate your message very much my dear Vale”

“… Lastly, I don't know in what universe Douglas Wong
doesn't get nominated for 6 show stealing completely sold out performances in
O.N.S. as Tataluotata, but you're already a star-lit winner in my eyes. No one
can do the magic you do!
And to everyone else who didn't make the nomination list,
know that the shows could not have shined without you! Let's continue trying to
put up good shows that make a difference. After all, isn't that what truly
matters? ”
我回應：
“Hey Vale,
Thank you for your love and trust, and always
enthusiastically tell me how much you appreciated my performance after every
single show u watched me in, ONS or others.
As an actor, I am truly lucky and humbled to have been able
to be indulged in this undoubtedly support coming from an outstanding young
actor, in this case, you, my dear Vale.
Talking abt me as an actor onstage, most of the time I am
described as “the diva” by almost everybody. Never once I didn’t roll eyes in
my heart and said thank you very much with a professional smile.
However, you - the kurang ajar fearless in expressions
talking with an accent either love u or hate u budak sial, is the first and
only person up to date who described me as “the beast”, and OMG I love it so
much.
And now, pay your attention to me, bitch. I m going to tell
you something. You can be sure that this is coming from someone who has been a
proud and still going strong theatre actor in Malaysia for 2 decades now ;
someone who is / has been lucky enough to have the privilege to act in at least
2 if not 3 or 4 or 5 considerably well received if not good productions every
year in 1998-2006 and 2010-2016 ; and on top of that, someone who not only just
never won but has never been nominated for in the now 15yo ADA awards (*except
for the 1st year in 2001 in which everyone got nominated for every category).
As much as I enjoyed being “the beast” onstage, I know that
I m in no need to search for “the beauty”. Simply bcoz every time when I am up
there having a great time with my beloved fellow actors, I found both “the
beauty and the beast” in me, again and again, without failed.
Although this might sound like a tale as old as time but I
know it is as true as it can be. Continue to have fun acting and I look forward
to share the same stage with you again.
oh and we all know how much a musical bitch u are, let's
enjoy the song.
Love & Hugs, DW”

“God I love you hahahaha...
Trust Douglas Wong to use Disney to explain something profound
to a music theatre actor. "A
Beast" is pretty much reserved for someone who exceeds human capabilities
as an actor, pulling out monstrous reservoirs of strength and power on stage,
and impacting every single seat in the room. So you kan? Wonder if it's an
Aussie slang...
Had forgotten I said that actually lol.
And on that note, your advice on finding both the beauty and
the beast within our selves, the gentle and the strong, that's just perfect
Lol, teaching even when you're not on stage. So you la.”

雖然上一帖的凱蒂陳留言告訴我說她其實不記得甄嬛傳一事，而這個帖的Vale也說他其實不記得 “the
beast” 一事，但我並沒有因此而對自己的情感記憶有絲毫懷疑。我只是更肯定了自己所相信的
- 我們在生命中所留得下來的記印，往往都是與人或與事毫不刻意但卻深刻的互動。反之亦然。
越是刻意地想要影響生命，越是做作地想要為生命留下什麼，自己或其他人，都只讓我們離真實的生命與生命的真實，越來越遠。
只要一直只做自己相信的事，生命竟毫不費力地有了值得感到驕傲的真實記印。
我才不管Vale所說的是事實，抑或只是我的一廂情願，我只是知道當一個人覺得他必須把話說給另外一個人聽而又真的這麼做時，那是一種生命中難得的美好經歷。
事實是，生命在你我都還沒察覺的情況下，老早就已經有了最值得驕傲的價值了。
