Social Media & the restless me.

Now with the advent of social media, I find I have a multitude of social media accounts, and no idea what to do with them. How do I become a social media star (assuming I'd even want to be one)?    I guess I should resume my sparse Vlogging - I only seem to do it when I'm overseas i.e. Hong Kong & Australia, because really, how interesting could life be here? And I can't videotape stuff when I'm on set, as tempted as I am to do so. I may be tackled by security...Read more

Grateful for September.

I haven't updated in over a month! September has been exceptionally exciting & fruitful, and I'm so grateful for many people & many things in my life.  Firstly, the InHerShoes 2011 - Art & Music Against Cancer event went on smoothly. We put together the entire event in just 5 weeks - including the entire venue setup, a 4-hour concert lineup, as well as arts & holistic health stalls - thanks to the help of many volunteers & our partners, National Cancer Centre (NCC) & National Parks (NParks).Read more

Keepin' Busy.

Look at the state of my Organizer after just 2 months or so. The poor thing is falling apart. It's been a trusty companion thus far, and I love how I can keep track of everything happening in my career.
This week, I've just been to an audition for a  "Nerdy Girl" character, and I'm really hoping I'll nail it - with my nerdy spectacles complete with braces - the one time my...Read more

and then, there is me.

I am an empty pitcher, waiting to be filled with words, with a character's history, with the presence of people around me. This is not meant to be a poetic metaphor. Rather, this is who I am, and this is something I must embrace in life.This thought was birthed out of a conversation with a new actor-director friend I have had many conversations with recently. He asked a few actor friends & me this question: " Do you act in real life?" I answered, &...Read more

The human need for love. ♥

        Pink Dot marked its third year today, and it was the first time I joined in this event to support the Freedom to Love. From a turnout of 2,500 in 2009, to a crowd of 4,000 last year, it more than doubled to 10,000 this year. And that means a lot for the LGBTQ community here.Everyone deserves the freedom to love. Everyone. And there was so much love & acceptance present there today. “That which makes you different is what makes you strong. Whether y...Read more

Acting Workshop with Jeanne Hartman

I just came back from a whirlwind trip to Hong Kong - mainly to attend a workshop with one of my acting mentors, Jeanne Hartman. She was conducting a two-day workshop, but due to filming commitments, I could only make it for the second day.It was a great experience nonetheless. I haven’t attended an acting class since January when I was in Sydney, Australia, for a month to take summer classes at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), so this was a wonderful time to refresh myself & work with other like-minded p...Read more

something i wanted to share.

This is a short film I did a while back (beginning of 2010), and it’s something I wanted to share with all of you. It has a message at the end of the film, something which is very pertinent in today’s world.Video:

Hollywood or Asia?

Coming back to blog after a long hiatus, with a heavy heart, wondering if I’ll ever get whatever I dream for in my life. As everyday goes by, somehow, instead of feeling closer to my dream, I feel like I’m getting further & further away. Oh, don't get me wrong - I've been completing 2 short films, a few events, and involved in a bit of TV, as well as completing a few auditions. I haven't been twiddling my thumbs.

It’s very difficult for me to admit this. Because I’ve always tried to be an inspiration – the encouragi...Read more
