Athena currently has 3 films in the works. Yesterday in the filming of one of the films, ( 午夜狼君 ) or Midnight Wolfman (literal translation), she was required to handle a real gun in one of the scenes. This is the first time that Athena has touched a real gun so she had some coaching from a professional on the techniques and the poses..and in the end, Athena looked really convincing with the gun. When she was young, Athena liked to play with guns and feel righteous. But she has never considered being a policewoman. Instead, she wanted to be a social worker. Athena feels overwhelmed by the killing power of a gun and even if it was used to kill a criminal, she still feels that there is something just not right. On why she did not realise her dream to be a social worker, Athena replied that she doesn't know but she does not eliminate the possibility of her becoming one in the future.

Athena still keeps in contact with many of her secondary school classmates, some of which are gangsters now. But Athena does not mind being friends with them because she feels that everybody has a right to choose their own path in life and furthermore, mixing with people from all walks of life will give Athena a chance to hone her acting skills. Athena is also involved in another film called ( 夜半無人私語時 ) or Speaking in the Dead of the Night (literal translation) in which she plays a female ghost and next week, she will be acting in another film which will bring the grand total to 3! Athena worries that she will get the roles mixed up and her role in Midnight Wolfman is also quite challenging and she has being borrowing LDs to observe how others handle such a role. On completion of the 3 films, Athena will be flying over to Taiwan to do the dubbing for ( 蒼天有淚 ) or Heaven May Cry (literal translation), a TV serial which she completed last year.
