String Magazine: Editorial Covergirl

Friday, May 25, 2012 8:18AM / Standard Entry

Yay! It’s out!! I wrote a blog about my fabulous experience working with a great, talented team out in Vancouver – Princess at Rosewood Hotel- a few months ago and it just got published in String Magazine’s First Issue – SS12. They took one of our photos and made it into a wonderful illustration and I absolutely love it.

Predominantly shot in natural light, the photographer kept everything so simple and barely did photoshop work. You can see the imperfections but that’s how I like them. Nowadays its so easy to get carried away with the wonders of technology (I’ll admit I get a bit crazy sometimes) but I think its important to preserve as much as possible.

Sometimes I think we can’t live up to the Photoshopped arms, pore-less skin and deepened cleavage. It’s not real (at least not me) and the younger generation idolizes something that they cannot achieve alone. I’m not trying to rant, just trying to appreciate what God has given me and I am humbled by it.

Have a great weekend!

Hello Obama-land (Washington DC)

Sunday, May 20, 2012 9:32AM / Standard Entry

Teja and I arrived in Washington DC after President Obama proclaimed that he supported gay marriage. But it didn’t seem like it was big news over there but I’m glad he did it. On that note, here’s a little trip that I enjoyed very much, even if it was just a couple of days.

Visiting Georgetown University and checking out their campus. It looks so familiar that I’m sure its been used by so many films out there. We had a lovely afternoon walking along M street and getting lost hahahah.

We took a Segway tour called Segs in the City and rode along the street in the bike lanes. I tried my best to keep up but luckily I was the last so I wasn’t keeping anyone behind. The image above is the building that promotes (correct use of verb) Free Press.

Safety first! I’m in the middle of the street!

Here’s the stunning US Capitol!

T and I on our segways infront of the Washington Monument. Tallest in USA! (and world too?)

The White House. Didn’t see the Obamas but it was so cute and quaint!

After we finished our wonderful tour, we all got licenses. I highly recommend Segs in the City. We were in a small group of 6 and our tour guide Nate was incredibly knowledgeable, throwing trivia questions at us. I tried my best to answer but my American History knowledge is limited to the first three presidents and the last five.

Going up the steep escalator from Metro – Dupont Circle. I never realized the Metro was buried so deep.

T and I enjoying a day out in the circle fountain after celebrating with my birthday cupcake at Hello Cupcakes nearby.

Getting ready for dinner at St. Regis Hotel.

Bon Appetit! We selected a tasting menu with wine pairings and we got drunk quickly by the time it hit 10:30pm. Friends called to say hi but I was already fast asleep, sorry!!

I had a fantastic trip and although DC was never one of the cities on my list to visit, I still had an amazing time and I got to catch up with my bff. We haven’t seen each other since Malaysia but we always pick up where we left off.

Moms for life.

News Update – The Star Malaysia

Saturday, May 19, 2012 8:42AM / Standard Entry

I sent a long overdue email to Daily Chilli editor last week after I promised him an update 6 months ago when I saw him at the LiTV Link Launch in October. He got a great scoop and timed perfectly as the online article was published on my birthday – a little gift of sorts!

The article was later printed on Monday and thanks to buddy Razman who sent this copy over for me! Thanks Man!

Sarah Lian joins Cybergeddon cast

Thursday, May 17, 2012 9:53AM / Standard Entry

This month has been great for me so far. I auditioned for a couple roles on a film project. After visiting the casting room more than 4x in two weeks, I felt like I was hitting a wall and then suddenly, my agent gave me the best news – I booked a role!

The film, Cybergeddon.

It is one of the first films acquired by Yahoo! and is created by CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.

The online effort, described as a “motion picture event,” will debut in the fall on Yahoo as a series of installments that marks the Internet portal’s latest endeavor in the original scrīpted content space. Zuiker dubbed Cybergeddon — which will be written by Miles Chapman (The Tomb) — as the latest “evolution” of the crime genre. The drama will explore the growing threat of cyber crimes, with Norton by Symantec attached as an adviser.

Directed by Diego Velasco, the stellar cast includes Olivier Martinez (Unfaithful), Missy Peregrym (Rookie Blue), Aussie-actor Kick Gurry and Manny Montana (Breakout Kings). I have a smaller role in the film as a character named Blue among a few other supporting cast members.

I didn’t want to reveal too much about the project but it has been a great experience so far. Although this is filming predominantly in Toronto, my scene was mostly at Mohawk College in Hamilton. It drew quite a crowd with some of the local media and its always exciting when we’ve got a few more eyes watching this show. I still have another scene to shoot at the end of the month and I’m pumped to see the awesome team again.

I snapped a pic when I got home after i took off my hair pieces and piercing off but decided to leave my faux tattoo for keeps. Will update more when we’re wrapped!

The recipe for a rising star seems to be natural good looks with a bubbly personality and infectious laughter. Sanguine and vivacious Sarah Lian etches a scintillating impression on everyone who knows her. Popularly acclaimed in various platforms of film, television, radio, and new media, her high energy and dedication to work has yielded an unprecedented growth in the Malaysian entertainment industry. Undoubtedly she is one of the most sought-after artistes in Malaysia. Yet, never settling for complacency, she continues to re-invent herself, striving for the best in delivering top-notch performances in both acting and hosting.

Sarah shot to fame as FHM’s Most Wanted Woman in Malaysia. Since then, she keeps winning more accolades: as cover-girl in numerous magazines, viz. Men’s Health Malaysia, Shape, Clive, New Man, FHM, Kunang-Kunang; and being featured in Sisters, New Tide, Women’s Weekly, KLue, and other printed media.

This Taiping-born lass acquired her Canadian accent while growing up in the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver and attending university in Toronto. Back in multi-cultural Malaysia, she had to re-hone her basic skills in Bahasa, to add to her repertoire of Mandarin, French and Japanese languages.

A celebrated host and a real pro in front of the camera, Sarah’s presence exudes sublime confidence with a brilliant wit. She has been outstanding in hosting Astro Hitz Radar, the first music talk show on the newly branded music channel Astro Hitz. Besides presenting television debuts for upcoming artists, this programme is breeding new subcultures in the Malaysian youth scene. So tremendously successful is the show, the audiences, the artists and the producers are clamouring for more of it the next season!

Currently, Sarah is involved in the shooting of MYeG Xtra Time on ESPN. The programme highlights sports, entertainment, and news along with a bevy of hosts being put through challenging antics. Sarah’s fun-loving and sporting nature resonates very well with her audience. Her quirks and witticisms will sure get you laughing on the couch, making it a sheer joy to watch.

On reality programmes, Sarah judiciously leverages the chances of success for her participants. As evident in the Ultimate Prom Nite event, she perspicaciously steered the nationwide search for the inter-college prom’s King and Queen, and the final award of RM 10 000 Grand Prize to each winner. In “Maybelline’s Simply Fabulous” which was also the network’s first online reality show, she conferred ten girls the opportunity to kick start their dreams by winning front row tickets to New York Fashion Week. Such a positive role model can only inspire her contestants to empower themselves in these reality shows.

Sarah proves her larger-than-life personality in the ability to work up a crowd of thousands. She was co-host for the 2010 Shout! Awards, Malaysia’s first urban award show that recognizes the best in film/TV/radio/music. She has also hosted big parties and concerts such as the Hennessy Artistry KL where international artists from East and West, like Fatman Scoop, Ying Yang Twins, Kardinall Offishall, Da Mouth among others, performed on the same stage. More recently, she emcee’d Astro Hitz’s first ever private K-POP Hitz TV Recording with G-NA, 4Minute, and B2ST, all Korean’s Cube Entertainment artists. Sarah is glad to play a role in the inevitable K-POP invasion.

Without any question, Sarah has successfully taken the entertainment industry by storm, from television to radio airwaves. Her sexy, sultry voice is now distinctively recognized as Hitz.FM’s station voice. In time to come, you may be hearing about Sarah’s very own radio show!

In addition to radio and TV mass media entertainment, Sarah has quickly embraced the world of new media. Progressing from online programmes to mobile content, innovative projects in the new media has expanded her the international recognition and exposure. Thanks to early beginnings on Media Prima’s online channel Gua.com.my, her role play as The Gua Centre’s sexy weather girl Fanny Golightly, and her hosting Randommania, she continually attracts new fans and a loyal following.

Indeed, Sarah’s cameos and appearances in commercials are hot topics of social discussion. Her cameo as "Miss Chic-Kut-Teh" in award-winning director Liew Seng Tat's short film 'Halal' for 15Malaysia also caught the attention of many. Being featured in Malaysian rapper Joe Flizzow's music video "Do It, Duit", was an appearance that was duly noted by blogs everywhere. While her latest cast as “Ah Moi” in MYeG’s Internet Ah Moi commercial was so popular in the newspapers, it was even made into a comic strip. Other local commercials are those made for Hong Leong Bank, Celcom Euro 2008, Cadbury Soft Centres, and Whisper; and commercials made overseas are: Tic Tac, Standard Chartered, McCafe, Schroders, Adidas FIFA World Cup, Kraft Pourables and Budweiser Camp Bud.

Being a multi-faceted artist, Sarah lends her name and expertise to various judging panels, passion and charity events. Sarah has developed a great relationship with brands like Nike Malaysia, being considered as one of their Non-Athlete Influencers; and skincare/make-up giants Shu Uemura as one of Malaysia’s 7th Heaven faces. Devoted to her passion projects, a recent one was the AIDS Awareness: Be the Message campaign. She and other celebrities were involved in a photo-shoot which conveyed a perceptive personal message to the public regarding AIDS, which was later to be sold as calendars in various outlets.

In less than three years, Sarah Lian has blazed an explosive trial that is unprecedented in the entertainment industry of Malaysia. Her meteoric rise owes much to the simple fact: she always delivers.
