Back when I was a teenager, I loved acting. I was in the school's drama club doing mostly English plays. Then in 1997, after my O Levels examinations, I stumbled onto an opportunity to act for a TV show. I took that chance even though it was a role in a Chinese TV show and I was terrible in that language. It was a huge struggle. Acting on stage and in front of the camera were totally different. It wasn't as easy as I thought. And the worst part was me having to put on a hideous wig for most of the scenes!
And when the show was aired a year later, I was embarrassed. I wanted to hide from my new classmates in my new school. No thanks to my terrible acting skills and bad wig. I tried to put this whole nightmare behind me.
At 30 years old, looking back, everything seems different now. Yes, it wasn't a very glamorous role and yes, I might have made a fool out of myself, but still it was quite an interesting experience. Not many people can say they have done that before and to get the chance to be one of the leads.
So, when I found the script for the TV show in my cupboard while spring cleaning, I was delighted. I flipped through the script reminiscing my acting days.
