Final stop: Kedah. ❤️
Back to where the spirit of #MotherBhumi# began — meeting my ritual master, the father of director Chong Keat Aun, who guided me through the authentic chants and rituals behind the film. ✨
Third stop: Melaka!!! ❤️🇲🇾 Had to come back for my satay celup 😍
For everyone asking where: Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup (45-E, Jalan Ong Kim Wee, 75300 Melaka).
P/S: Don’t make it TOO famous ok… I still want my table next time 😀
A beautiful journey with you — thank you, Director Chong Keat Aun.
与你同行,是一段美好的旅程,谢谢你,张吉安导演。
Between light and shadow, stories find their way.
Udine feels like a beautiful scene I never want to leave. 🎞️ #FEFF28#
Thirty years in cinema. Still standing. Still learning.
Gratitude, always. For every fall, every rise.
For everyone who never gave up on me — thank you.
