Rehearsal vibes today, but my mind is completely occupied by the absolute chaos of the original Hokkien "Ti O O" lyrics. I'm heading to NDP training, but I just can't get past how unhinged this song is. Two adults shattering a wok over a fish? 🤯 Who let us sing this as kids?! Ste

5 NDPs across 3 decades! 🍋 The energy at last night's NDP Participants Meeting was amazing. ​It was a wild trip down memory lane seeing our past NDPs flash on the big screen! From my very first in 1991 (I still have that red star costume! 😆), to 2007 with an arrow pointing to me, and now an

Morning check-in! 🍋 Waking up for 7 AM Yoga right after surviving the hectic NE Show required pure willpower! ​Kept things 100% unscripted: stretches, friends joking off-camera, and then I just HAD to add a spontaneous dance to the beat. "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag? Up, up, up!"

POV: You are having the best, stress-free hike and decide to sing your favorite chorus! ✨ I was enjoying the fresh air so much today that I sang "Dear You" while walking. The tune was feeling good, but my brain decided to skip exactly two lines of the lyrics! Sometimes you just have to vibe

🔊 VOLUME UP! Now that the show has gone public, it's finally safe to reveal my FULL Chapter 3 costume! (Got to play by the rules! 😉) 👑 The Prep: Because the dance in Chapter 3 is quite vigorous, I took the initiative to do a 3-nod test to make sure my golden leaves were secure! 🤣 👗 The Re

First public preview for NDP 2026 at the National Stadium! 🇸🇬 The crowd was so huge the ushers kept asking for my seat sector—had to remind them countless times, "I'm a performer, not an audience!" 😂 ​Bumped into two sweet kawans I befriended from the NDP 2025 makeup team at our OCBC

My day in a nutshell: Yoga ➡️ Shower ➡️ Sudden change of plans! 🔄 Shifted my course instantly before running straight to the National Stadium for NDP.

Welcome to Part 1 of my movie review series! 🍿✨ Today, I caught the 11 am opening screening of the Teochew edition of Dear You. I walked in excited, making a Teochew pun about my white outfit (cheng beibei!) 🤍😂 But wow... I was not prepared. ​🌍 A Global Phenomenon: With CNA coverage and a mind-b
