  • Where was I?

    Wednesday, Aug 27, 2008 8:09AM / Members only

    Yes I know. Very sloppy with my blogs.

    I was in Oh! by Elangovan which was wonderful. I performed an original song, and have been hosting at a few special events.

    I have also been rehearsing for I Theatre's Rainbow Fish, a fun musical for kids and the young at heart. It's sold out every year and this year is no different. Before the 60 shows begin, the tickets are already sold out!

    Thanks to all who've visited recently. I apologise for the absence. I have been tired and a little down. But everything's good. I'm just making sure I don't forget to enjoy the journey. :-)

    Take care!
    Jilly
  • Please come watch "Tuesday Afternoon" this Saturday!

    Tuesday, Jul 1, 2008 2:19PM / Members only

    Ok, did that sound confusing?

    I'm sorry. It's just that I am prudent yet quietly proud that I finally wrote my first theatre piece. Not for a corporate event, not for kids, not for any monetary benefit. Now why did I write it? I don't know. I just had to tell the story of... Zelda and Susan. Yes but not quite.

    Growth, changes, choices and sacrifices. It's only 30 minutes and will be staged at the Substation (Armenian St, Singapore) at 8pm on Saturday July 5th (just a couple days away!). I am honoured that the Substation has selected it to be part of their Test Tube event, a free works-in-progress showing, so it'll probably be a read rather than a performance.

    Ok, I admit I find it daunting.

    After much thought, I've decided to title this short piece "Tuesday Afternoon". This is the write-up I sent to Substation:

    "A long overdue visit from a friend brings back happy memories from the past. Yet it also reveals the inevitable and impending future she has to face. The gravities of time and life refuse to be ignored, in what would have otherwise been a regular afternoon."

    Ok, did that sound tacky?
  • An update ... finally!

    Friday, Jun 20, 2008 1:33AM / Members only

    Hi all, thank you for our kind patience. I apologize for the inactivity. So what's new with me? I am flattered if you'd really like to know, but it's not much really. Just the regular work.

    I was recently on an episode of Sayang Sayang (Channel 5). When my character said the line: "and I love to cook...", my brothers burst out laughing, "Yeah right!"

    I've been busy working on some stage work and enjoying the process. Also filming an episode of Moonface for Kids Central. I had to turn down some hosting jobs because I hate having to cancel on anyone. So that's affected my income slightly. But as an actor I am always learning and growing so I feel rich and blessed in that department. :-)

    I will be leading the 5th episode of Incredible Tales (Channel 5) one of these Sundays. I've also been trying to catch myself in the Starhub TVC on television. I need to thank Andrew Lua for that.

    I've been singing. Thank you so much to all of came to hear humble little me and my awesome band! I'm writing a small play to be staged at the Substation. I've been in plays written by my friends, one of which was staged in contribution to NAC's Singapore Arts Fest. As a matter of fact, I have to be in one in a few hours... So I have to go get some sleep now.

    That's kinda all folks. For now. I will write more soon!


  • Hi There

    Saturday, Apr 5, 2008 6:32PM / Members only

    Hi there.
    Eat up.

    It’s getting cold if you let it.
    What’s good about it, you ask.
    Guess we’ll guess but never know.

    Watch it.
    Pick up.

    Pieces of your yesterday.
    Where do you belong, you ask.
    Well who’s to really tell you so.

    Hold it.
    Look up.

    The sky has fallen before today.
    Why should we see this, you ask.
    Yet we survive with scars to show.

    Hi there.
    Stand up.

    The sun is new and so are you.
    Why don’t you open the door, I ask.
    To where only love and truth will grow.
