Keeping it Real!

Did you get a copy of 8 days this week? Thanks Wang for her encouragement. Thank you for writing this letter. Truly; I was just trying to be myself.

My manger called me when my cover story for 8 days came out last week. "My sister said that you looked great on the cover but you came across stupid in the interview." I read and was sad how the story was presented but I realized that every journo has a right to form his/her perception but I do think the media plays a very important role to form that perception.

I don’t not know how to put it in simpler term. Sometime it takes just an interview to put an aspiring artiste down. Think of the effort of the many people and money put together in a movie or just a music CD/album

It just take a stroke of words – bad production, thrash it , don’t watch it, etc ….. these words may cause many readers or listerners to not go watch the movie or buy the CD.

Maybe it’s just not the genre or style that journo hence it doesn’t mean it’s no good enough for others.

Like my mum always say – “if you don’t have anything nice to say; don’t say. Then again...who am I to say. I am just a newbie :)

The Beginning ...

I have decided to start blogging because I really want to do justice to Rose Chan the role I will be taking on when Film maker Eric Khoo starts filming "Chinese Rose"

For a start; I am definitely overwhelmed by the fact I am on the covers of 3 top entertainment magazines here in Singapore. Loved the covers. I wanna thank all the crew behind the covers for making me look so beautiful.

I know it's unusual for a newcomer like me to be on the covers of all 3 magazines; let alone 3 top local entertainment magazines. I want to start counting my blessing. Thanks to "Rose Chan" and Eric Khoo for believing in me.

One of the main reasons why I want to start blogging because I want those who care about Rose Chan to be assured that I do take this seriously. Being new comer I am expecting criticism to come my way.

One of my friend called me this morning to say - "Hey ... you looked fabulous on the covers!" ... but you sounded bimbo tic and dumb. Not very flattering indeed. Rose Chan is definitely not dumb. She is the smartest woman I know. I am not saying I am Rose Chan. I can never be her but I want to get into character.

The medias have been very kind (so far) to me but the recent interviews seem to do otherwise. I sounded almost retard in the interview or rather how the writer wanted me to sound.

I was just trying to be myself for every interview. Instead I am called "unglamourous and unsexy" and I am definitely not an angel. Well .. that's his "superficial" observation I must say.

For all these ... I am going to prove him wrong.
