SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

Bio
Shaun possesses extraordinary flair, evident even during his student times and was then already a model for various clothing brands. He graced the cover of countless magazines and was sought after by established brands like Colgate and SunSilk to be their advertisement spokesperson.

The year 2002 saw Maxis, the leading telco provider in Malaysia, handpicking him from hundreds of model hopefuls to be their sole product ambassador. Following the release of these mega scale Maxis advertisements, Shaun's popularity reached an all time high. He was the preferred choice for endorsement deals and everyone wanted to have a piece of this intriguing new star.

Mediacorp Singapore then took notice of this bright young man. Without any hesitation, they extended a warm invitation to Shaun, hoping to develop his acting career together. Shaun immediately accepted the offer, for he had a burning desire to be an actor since young.

The handsome looks and beguiling charm was an indicator - Audience will definitely fall in love with him! Producers noted that down and immediately found a minor role for him in True Heroes. Shaun plays a chauvinistic entrepreneur, Zhang HanLiang, sharing screen time with another MCS actress, Phyllis Quek.

He made a commendable effort despite being totally new to acting. The drama showcased Shaun's acting potential, something that would only improve even more in the days to come.

Besides acting, aspiring Shaun also hemmed the wildly popular City Beat together with Jeff Wang and Sharon Au, both heavyweight hosts in their own right. Not paling in comparison, he displayed amazing talent with his quick wit on the live show.

Shaun can sing and he has a good voice. Once again, cementing the fact that he is our new generation, all-rounded artiste.

Raised Any Temperatures Yet?
He spiced up MediaCorp's variety show City Beat with his verbal jousts and had several intimate scenes with Jeanette Aw's character in Holland V.

If You Ask Us
His star is on the rise. Now on a three-year contract with MediaWorks, he's set to star alongside Hong Kong actress Esther Kwan in the upcoming 40-episode serial Power Of Love, a collaboration between Channel U and Hong Kong's Chinese Entertainment International.

Verdict
With some grooming and increasing exposure, this former model should attract his fair share of admirers. Cultivating a wholesome appeal never did hurt anyone.

3. Interesting Quotes



Ann was commenting on Chen Hongyu, her co-star, on those scenes where they
Act as a couple. She find him a litte uptight during those scenes (becos Mr
Chen was rumoured to be accused of taking advantage of another actress when he was Filming Holland V, thats why.....) Asked if she did anything to help him relax, she said:"Yes I did, I kept telling him as long as it is within the director's request, it's not a problem." Ann also teased him about the lady luck he gets in the show, having "relations" with almost all the young actresses in the cast.
