She's already played a mummy in Channel 8 drama Baby Bonus, so portraying a bride-to-be must have be a cinch for Felicia Chin.
Filming the local telemovie Seven Days, the actress looked every bit the ravishing bride on her 'wedding dinner'. The movie, which will debut on Channel 5 this Saturday, revolves around a 30-something couple who are planning to exchange their "I dos".
Now that she's tackling more roles dealing with marriage and motherhood, one wonders if Felicia, who will turn 26 in October, thinks it's too early to chime along to her ticking biological clock. Or maybe she's already warming up to her maternal instincts.
Well, the answer's no.
"Frankly speaking, I think it's still a very faraway thing for myself. Probably because I haven't found Mr. Right yet. Yes, I get older every year, but it hasn't really hit me yet. Sometimes you still think you are 21 (guffaws). It's good to always have a young heart, and look younger than your age as well, haha!"
Don't assume that this lass does not take the subject matter seriously. In fact, "marriage is something pretty sacred to me. I hope it's something that lasts rather than some part-time commitment."
Naturally no one hopes to get cold feet just before their big day, but the pragmatic one says "it's better to face it now rather than five years down when you're already married and you wonder whether he's the right person for you. Sometimes you must really trust your intuition."
Her dream wedding, she said, would be white, and a very private affair. However, the filial daughter added that she would probably "still go with a very traditional wedding because I think ultimately it's for my mother (her father passed away when she was in Junior College) and I think it'll be one night where she'll be pretty proud.
"Sometimes wedding banquets are for your parents."
She has plenty of time to stress over planning the dinner. After all, she's not set any by-when date set in stone when she plans to give up singlehood. A few years ago, however, "it was okay, by 27, 28, find yourself a boyfriend," she admitted.
Known for her cheerful, bubbly persona, budding suitors will be glad to know that Felicia is (a) currently single, and (b) not going to turn into a Bridezilla monster.
"I think it would be good to having a wedding planner or at least friends you can leave things to, like help you carry your dress (laughs), so you don't have to worry about everything. The bride just sits there, relax and enjoy."
But it's her next remark that truly takes the (wedding) cake.
While her onscreen boyfriend proposes to her in the "traditional way a la the HDB flat", Felicia proves to be even more laidback than that.
"Just as long we're in love and it's the right time, the right moment, I'll say yes, even if it's over a plate of char kway teow.
"But it'll be nice if he goes down on bended knee!"
