Cold Rock Ice Creamery


A good friend of mine, May Wern, recently opened up an Australian franchise in Singapore. It's located at Holland Village. I've known her for about 2 years now and she's really an inspiration to me. Like me, she's someone who belives in her dream and making it come true! (However, I think she's that teeny weeny bit more capable than me! =))When she was a kid, she dreamt of having her own ice cream parlour someday. She would create her own menu and make her parents & sibling place orders. She was the cashier, the order taker and the chef in her own little dream world.

Maybe a little introduction to what Cold Rock is about. It's the first ever concept in Singapore whereby you can actually mix your "mix-ins" into your ice cream. They actually mix and smash up your own flavourful creation on a frozen granite slab that is frozen to -20 degree celcius.
With the ability to create over 10 million combinations of ice cream by mixing chocolates, candies, cakes, fruits and nuts into your choice of super premium ice cream, Cold Rock has definitely taken ice cream to a new level.
My favourite combination is their Mango and Lemon Sorbet with Strawberries and Mangoes.
Here's a photograph of me in their Press kit! Head down there to catch them in action. Basically, "If you can Dream it, they can Ice Cream it!"

Ever since I was a kid, I have always been fascinated with Chinese opera. I remember I was only two years old when my grandma carried me in her arms and brought me to watch my first Teochew opera performance. I called it "Tok tok cheng" at that time cause that was usually the basic beat of the drums and gong.
My childhood dream was to be an opera actor. Although my parents opposed of it, that didn't stop me from persuing my dream. When I was 13, I even ran away from home during the school holidays to join an opera troupe in their performances. We travelled from places to places in Singapore and although living conditions was cramp and bad, that was actually one of the best experiences in my life.
Even till this day, I'm still someone who believes in having dreams. "Turning fantasy into reality". That's my motto in life!
If you want to know more about me & my opera experiences, do visit my website!

The photographs you see here were taken recently when a Thailand Teochew opera troupe performed in Singapore. It was like relishing my childhood once again. 画上脸谱, 穿上戏服, 仿佛回到了童年。

<<宝贝父女兵>> Wrap Party


These are some photographs taken during our wrap BBQ party! We hardly have wrap parties for Channel 8 dramas these days. So, this was a really rare ocassion. Most of the producers, directors, assistant producers, production crew and actors were at a chalet and we had a whale of a time! Hope that the show (which will be shown some time in August on channel 8) will be a great success and we'll be able to rise to the occasion. Yeah!!!
