Writing about acting
Fri, 27 April 2007 1:43 pmThe life of a freelancer is immensely exciting because you never know where your next pay cheque will be coming from.
Of all the places, I never expected to be invited to write for an actors’ resource website based in the USA.
But it happened, and I wrote, and I got published today.
Am now working on my next piece.
I usually tolerate my writing jobs as purely a means to earn a living. But this is one writing job I can dig into with relish because I get to write about acting. Coolness!
Thank you for the job, BackStage.com!

You know that could be an interesting side-job. :)
The article is here.
Bravo!!!! Girl,
that is definitely an article worth writing….but i can’t personally relate to it cos…ain’t nobody’s ever recognised ME on the streets LMAO….*sign*…says as much about my “career” huh?
OK…so i’ve had some “looks” thrown my way once in a while, but one never knows if it’s “recognition” or “something-directly-behind-me”…and lest i’m looking for a fight, i hardly “look” back.
Anyways, keep up the good work…ie, acting, blogging AND writing! :)
A good read if I may say so.
Thanks. I enjoyed the piece.
gratz! :D
just read the article… lol, u know what, I think I “enjoy” my sightings more than you… at least when I get recognised, pple can tell me which show they saw me lol.
On another note, when I’m recognised, I never deny it. I just make sure its really me they saw, and not someone who looks like me lol.
Mooiness: Yeah, it is. I quite enjoyed writing the article! :)
Fish: But you know what, EVERYONE in the industry knows you. :P Maybe you’re less known in the streets because you do more indies and short films which never get shown to the general public, but you’re definitely well-known in the circle. ;)
JayWalk: Thanks for reading!
Ruok: Haha… maybe people tend to remember “bad guy” faces more so they can watch out and beware? lol…
I loved your article! Illustrates the situation of all struggling actors very well, I must say.
GANBATTE NE! I believe one day you’ll land a high-profile role in a high-profile production. Perseverence is key! I’m rooting for you. :)
actually, I only get recognised for my good guy roles. Hur hur.
Shelly: Thanks, dear! :)
Ruok: Ok, fine. lol. So signed any autographs yet?
Yeah, the banks love my autograph… they keep asking for it on a regular basis …
Girl,
you are too kind…a simple paragraph from you puts HOPE back in my heart….Dang! no wonder you’re a writer! :D
Sis: awesome article, best one you wrote in years! (oops not that many years, you’re still 18!)
Ruok: ruoky, actually, I always recognise you as “the rapist”…..not that being that is a bad guy in my books!
Woohoo! Congrats on going international, gal! :P
And you just became the only Singaporean actress to appear on the big screen in the Golden Horse Awards (screening on Ch U now! :P)
But hor, I almost couldn’t recognise you (oops!) cos of your specky aunty look… Now maybe THAT is the root of the problem that led to your above article… Hehehe! :P

Ruok: Haha. I give out my autographs to cashiers the most. lol.
Fish: I wasn’t being kind, just telling the truth. ;)
Chong: Thanks, sis!
Edric: Haha, thanks. So did INS2 win any awards? Anyway, don’t think I’m the only. Didn’t Megan Zheng win an award for Homerun few years back?
bother doesn’t it guess me. I ,
