Eastciti brings you the exclusive details of her shooting experience in Hong Kong, as well as takes a peek at what else is boiling in her broth. [eastciti.com, October 17] My impression of Kit as a cool and composed cat dissipated almost immediately like dew at the break of dawn when she broke into uncontrollable fits of girlish giggles and kiddy-like laughter at the start of my interview. In fact, she laughed so much (and so hard) that tears welled up in her mascara-laced eyes. What happened to the poised and collected lady I've thought I knew? Apparently, she never existed. Little did we know, there's a kid in Kit and she really loves to just kid around胀o kidding! To tickle the lass's funny bone, all you have to do is talk about 'her dog'. And it must not just be an ordinary one at that. Firstly, it must look grouchy and grumpy and secondly, it must bear a melancholic and hopelessly disdained look on its heavily wrinkled and prune-like face in order to set her cackling juices flowing. Kit has since started her shooting stint in the Pearl of the East a couple of weeks ago. Initially, she was a little apprehensive about late nights and held qualms about her command of Cantonese. But these worries soon became a thing of the past as she found herself fitting in and adapting well into her hectic but fresh working environment. Welcome to her hypothetical world of Healing Hands II (TVB's popular sequel of the oriental version of ER) where cold operating theatres and professional surgery rule. And who should be more appropriate than a 'serious-looking' Kit who plays the role of a doctor in the production? When asked about her most memorable experience on the set, she burst into loud chortles as she recounted about the weary-looking dog shared between her co-stars Lam Bouyi, Flora Chan and herself in the drama. Kit said, "Zai-Zai (the dog) is really smelly! In fact, we think the reason behind his odour is due to his drool because it is collected and trapped under those massive folds of skin. And boy do the 2 girls (Flora and Bouyi) really dread hugging it although they were supposed to be affectionately attached to it in the show. Everyone is very happy when the dog disappears! Hey, but mind you, the dog's not cheap. While the extras are paid only $200/day, it costs $3,000 to 'hire' Zai-Zai per day! "That's not all. I remember once when we went out to sea on an outdoor shoot, we almost could not recognize Zai-Zai on the boat at the end of the day because he looked so disheveled and scruffy. In fact, it became so 'tanned' and worn-out that its tongue almost touched the floor and its face turned hilariously crinkly and puckered! It was so funny that we just could not stop laughing!" quipped Kit. Yes, Kit. Boy, can we tell, just from your hysterical reactions and vivid descriptions alone. Fun aside, there were rumors about her bad blood and sour relationship with colleague, Flora when the press ran a story of how the 2 could not see eye to eye with each other because Kit had her managing agent following her on the set while the former had none. To this, Kit expressed that the rumors were "totally unfounded". She added, "In fact, we are closer than anyone on the set because I can converse in English with her and we have common interests and topics of communication. The crew even labeled us 'guai mui' (loosely translated as ghost girls, a local slang for Caucasian women)!" Till we see Kit again in November when her shoot is stipulated to end, here's wishing her all the best贸n her dealings with the dog, that is! --
