Headshots by Norm Yip

Had the chance to work with renowned Hong Kong photographer Norm Yip when he came to Singapore in July.
Here are some of the headshots he took of me.

Yaya Pattaya!!

Visited Pattaya for the first time in September. Not as bustling as Bangkok, but easier to get around than Phuket....A city with reasonably beautiful beaches.....No wonder it has always been a fairly popular holiday destination.
What I like most about this place?? Hmmm..I'll have to say....the 99 baht buffets, the cheap Songtaew(baht bus) rides, the laid-back vibe and of course, my friend's beautiful villa!!

Happy Birthday Mummy!!

一转眼, 我妈已经XX岁了..... haha....还是不要透露她的年龄比较好..... 毕竟年龄是女人的秘密.

其实这些照片是上个月在 "聚聚" 拍的..... But I've been too lazy to upload them

People say I look like my mum, but I guess the resemblance between me and my mum is not merely physical... 我们一样固执, 爱干净, 爱美, 爱吃, 爱唱歌!!

I read the script....

and I thought to myself, "Wow! This part was written for me!! Identical characteristics.....similiar experiences....What did you say his name was??" Haha
I memorised the script...I analysed....I practised....There was no way I was going to give a lacklustre performance.....
The day came...I went in, and gave a satisfactory performance......UNTIL I was asked to sing...
Sing? Ha! I get paid to sing! Chicken feet....... and then I opened my mouth....
Die!! Shit!!! Was it because I didn't do vocal warm-up exercises? Was it because I was unprepared (I wasn't told I had to sing)? Was it...?? All I know is...I didnt sing well at all!! I even went flat in parts... It was a disaster!! I don't think anyone in the right mind would pay me a single cent to hear me sing, if that was the way I normally sound....
I'm angry...and fed-up with myself.
Seriously, I don't mind it so much if I did my best and didn't get a role...because there was probably nothing else I could have done to change the director's/producer's mind. However, it does get to me when I don't get a role because I didn't perform as well as I'm capable of performing!!
So ya, I'm damn pissed with myself!
The verdict is not out yet!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
And if indeed, I did screw it up.....
I shall punish myself by not drinking Big Gulp for 5 days!! Err...3 days...Ok la, 2 days!!!
GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

东区糕点比赛2009??

Haha..... 这只是我客串演出的儿童剧中的一场戏!

虽然只是一场戏....却因为是"大"场面, 参与的人多....所以必许用3天的时间来拍!!

10 mins on screen.....3 days of hard work.....Kudos to the cast and crew!

Actually I had fun la.... Not only did I get to catch up with my good friend Aileng (one of the directors); I also spent waiting time playing with my pet lovebirds, as well as engage in silly games with the some of the cast and crew!!

The only complaint? DAMN FAR LO!!! Haha.....Filming was done in Joo Chiat CC.....which is like, at the other end of Singapore!! GGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Glow in Pink!!

Who "glowed" most brilliantly?? Who put up the most outstanding performance??? Well...I certainly had a hard time deciding when I was one the judges of YEO's Miss Glow In Pink! Contest....

Do I enjoy being a judge?? Hmmm....NOT really.....The mere thought of being in the position to decide a person's success and/or failure is enough to give me a headache! Am I making the right decision? Am I being fair? Am I observant enough? Did I miss anything? Worrying too much?? Maybe....But then again...I've been a contestant myself on more than one occasion, and I know how important it is for all the hard work and dedication to recieve due recognition......

So ya....I much prefer to just perform on stage....and I had a blast singing 2 of the songs from my debut album on that day!! And I think I was glowing in pink too....or was I???? Hahaha

Disclaimer: I wasn't the only judge.....so if u didnt win....it MAY not be my fault!!! Hahaha....
