AdvertorialTo start off with, I have a few admissions to make.While I did somewhat enjoy a couple of Batman films in the past, I’ve never been a fan.I saw photos of Christian Bale on the I …
More photos from behind the scenes of my short film, Beatnik Sweetheart.Well, it’s not technically my short film lah. I’m just the actress! ;)After receiving my scary ah lian makeup from the makeup artist, I had to stand around with the rest of the crew to wait for the pub owner to open his pub.Remember ...
Welcome to another edition of Gamer Girl Friday! To those of you who have been supporting this little project of mine (silently or vocally), thank you very much! The reason I’m still going strong is you!I haven’t had much of grand editorial plan for GGF so far. Like, I don’t plan my issues ahead and ...
I have been on media trips before. But never have I received such personalised, VIP treatment as the one I received from, jointly, Jetstar Asia, Tourism Malaysia and Sarawak Tourism Board, on my four-day media trip to Kuching.I didn’t even realise that our luggages had been tagged “VIP PTY” (which, I assume, stands for VIP ...
A few days ago, I received this SMS:From Diners Club: Pls confirm yr participation in AXS $20K draw & yr application for Diners Club Ace Card. Reply “DC Y” if Yes. “DC N” if No or “DC U” to Unsub.I didn’t remember taking part in any Diners Club promo or applying for a card, so ...

I hope y’all had a great Valentine’s Day.The Goonfather and I had a Non-Valentine’s Day, in keeping with tradition.We had more of a Geeks R’ Us day, in fact.I woke up bright and early and got dressed.To go to work.At a stuffy old office.In a sad lonely cubicle.(Where one can camwhore in relative privacy when ...
AdvertorialThanks to my hectic schedule, I’m always leaving present-shopping till too late! Well, I checked out vPOST’s Valentine’s Day promotion and am reminded that there are only four days left till Valentine’s Day.Ack!Actually, the Goonfather doesn’t expect Valentine’s Day presents from me, but I like buying him stuff.The problem is, …
I am currently mired in the deep funk that actors call post-production blues, even though production hasn’t technically ended because we still have scenes in Singapore.I wish I could describe what it feels like but it’s so complex that it would fill a book and I’m certainly not going to write a book right now ...
It’s a considerable challenge to make me go ballistic. Not because I’m mild-tempered, but because I dislike making a scene and because I’m non-confrontational by nature.I will seethe inside and give you the silent treatment. The only way to make me snap outwardly is to annoy me repeatedly for an extended period of time despite ...
Singapore is becoming a scary place to live in.Of course, never as scary as, say, Detroit or Johor Bahru, but it’s suddenly scarier than it used to be.When was the last time the police shot anyone in Singapore, never mind shot them dead?According to this news report, the correct answer is the year 2002.Pretty long ...
On my way to watch Jack Neo’s Money No Enough 2, I camwhored in the taxi.Sometimes, I wonder what taxi drivers think about my camwhoring activities. I camwhore a lot in taxis because firstly, there is nothing else to do in there and I hate sitting around having nothing to do.Secondly, I hardly have time ...
I don’t like resorts. I don’t like the sea. I don’t like massages. I don’t like getting wet. But I had such a grand time in Batam over the weekend, I think I could be persuaded to change my mind.It was a last-minute thing. We only decided on the trip two weeks before and managed ...
It’s Short & Sweet Day today at Gamer Girl Friday! (Okay maybe not that sweet, but definitely shortish, lol). I spent 41 hours in the last three days filming because the shoot overran by a total of 15 hours (for me), which ate into the time I had to work on GGF. Yeah, that happens ...
One night, The Goonfather was kept back in the office waiting for an important phone call. He had nothing to do, so he decided to take Mr Orange out for a romp around the office desk.Mr Orange wasn’t very happy about it because he had been happily snoozing in a basket together with other oranges.So ...
Once in a while, we hear that Singapore is in China. Or you get people mailing stuff to Singapore with R.O.C. at the end of the address. Yes, I have received such a package! And I have personally encountered people telling me that Singapore is in China. But that’s old news. What about Singapore ...
My friends and I, we were discussing ants.Minou had once discovered an ant nest in her VCR.I had ant nests in my bedroom wall and bathtub.The Goonfather had found a nest inside his toilet cistern lid. (I’m still trying to figure that one out.)He couldn’t see the ant nest because it was hiding inside the ...
While going through my old photos for my latest Star Blog entry, I turned up quite many possible photos but some didn’t make the list because I could only choose 10 memories.I’ll share some of them here!The Indian YearsOne year, my friends and I were quite into Indian culture and would visit Little India to ...

I’ll show you photos of celebrities and you guess what’s the one physical feature I admire about them most.(It know it’s hard cos celebrities tend to have more than one unique, admirable feature, but try, okay?)Jennifer AnistonThis probably isn’t the most flattering photo of Jennifer Aniston, but …
