Felicia Chin & Nat Ho : Best friends forever?
Best friends forever?
Ex-MediaCorp artistes Felicia Chin and Nat Ho talk about how they came to be good friends
September 28, 2010
THEY are such good friends that when Felicia Chin and Nat Ho left MediaCorp after their contracts ended in June, people were speculating that they had planned their departures together.
Chin is pursuing her studies while Ho is set on a singing career.
How did you become friends?
CHIN: If you ask me about the details, I don't know where to start. All I can say is that our friendship is a natural progression.
HO: What I remember most is that about two years ago, after filming the Chinese New Year's Eve variety show, both of us, together with (fellow actors) Elvin Ng and Dawn Yeoh, went to Chinatown to join in the celebrations.
We partied till 2am. We then bought sparklers and continued partying in MediaCorp's carpark.
CHIN: Our behaviour was childish yet we were reminded of our childhood.
HO: This is one of the memories that I treasure. It is very hard to find real friends in this line.
CHIN: Can you imagine four adults playing with sparklers in a big carpark? We even made videos of our playing around.
HO: Around that time, Edison Chen's sex photo scandal broke. When Felicia told me the following afternoon that she lost her camera, I went: 'Oh my God!'
CHIN: I was very worried because our behaviour was unbecoming for artistes. Then again, I also thought that if the videos were posted on YouTube, we would be famous!
Is it easy to make friends in showbiz?
HO: It's tough. Many artistes look out only for themselves. That's why people say artistes can only be colleagues but not friends. It's sad.
CHIN: A lot depends on affinity. I think I have few friends from MediaCorp as I'm not an expressive person. That is why I treasure my friendships with Nat and a few other colleagues.
HO: Felicia is like an onion with many protective layers that must be peeled off for anyone to understand her well.
She is always sensitive to other people's feelings and often ends up being easily influenced by others.
As her friend, I feel the need to protect her.
Is it possible for platonic friendships to exist between men and women?
CHIN: With Nat, it's possible. Although, personally, I think it's not possible with other men. I have male friends outside showbiz and sometimes, I have the feeling they're looking to be more than just friends with me.
HO: I have close friendships with women outside showbiz.
How many relationships have you had after joining MediaCorp?
HO: I've been attracted to a few women but it's difficult to start serious relationships because I don't know if the women are interested in me or if they just fancy being with a celebrity.
CHIN: That person is definitely not me!
What are your best memories of life in MediaCorp?
HO: There are ups and downs in an artiste's life. My career highpoint was winning Favourite Male Character at this year's Star Awards.
My low point came when I left MediaCorp. Some people said I left because I wanted more money. I don't like this sort of speculation.
CHIN: I was very touched when my mother, older sister and friends cheered me on when I took part in Star Search.
And when I left MediaCorp, my colleagues and even other staff who did not know me well came to wish me well.
I thought they were very warm-hearted.

Felicia Chin's "new beau" is Kingone Wang?
Looks like Felicia Chin can't get enough of TV.
After a short hiatus from acting, the former-actress-now-student will be back on our goggle boxes this September. But hang on, she's not giving up her books just yet.
The pretty actress last exited our TV sets and embarked on some much-delayed tertiary education in June, bidding local audience farewell with her swansong performance in sports-music drama No Limits.
The starlet will return for a short one week plus acting stint in the upcoming Channel U feature film, Love, 50%, before hitting the books again.
Present at Channel U's beach event, Hey Gorgeous on The Beach, with co-star Taiwanese Kingone Wang last Saturday, Felicia spoke to xinmsn about her upcoming acting project and her school life.
In the film, she plays a free-spirited girl who bumps into Kingone Wang's insurance agent character. Drama ensues and the pair's meeting soon spirals into a day of fun, adventure and romance.

Felicia praised her foreign co-star for his natural acting and friendly nature.
"I used to watch his idol drama, Why Why Love, and always thought him to be a serious person. Turns out he's nothing like that," she said.
While Felicia had come to know Kingone through his drama, the lad on the other hand was clueless about Felicia until their meeting a few days before this interview.
"I only knew about Felicia being one of MediaCorp's "Seven Princesses" yesterday!" the actor admitted bashfully.
He explained: "Working in Taiwan gives me little opportunity to know about Singapore's entertainment scene. The few that I know of are Fann Wong and director Jack Neo's film I Not Stupid."
Felicia talks about life as a student
Having only started university as a freshman last month, can Felicia cope with her studies while juggling acting commitments?
Felicia clarified that she had only accepted the role because the filming period had coincided with her one-week school break.
"I don't think that there's such thing as me "leaving" or "returning" back to showbiz. Because acting is something I'd always like to do, as long my schedule allows it, I will continue to act," the NUS business student explained.
The visibly happy schoolgirl gushed while talking about her school life, repeatedly saying that life has been "very great!"
"Everyone has been really nice to me in school. When I lose my way in campus - which I still do even after one month - people would take the initiative to show me the way."
However, Felicia still has her fair share of worries.
The 25-year-old VJC alum admits to taking a longer time in learning, attributing the cause to be her long absence from books while pursuing her acting career.
"I'm always bugging my classmates when I don't understand something. I just hope they don't find me a bother!"
She added that while mathematics is her weakest subject, she's more confident when it comes to creative ideas, and is always providing interesting ideas during projects.
Love, 50%, is slated to air on 19 December, 9pm on Channel U.

陈靓瑄"新欢"是台湾帅哥王传一
新传媒前公主陈靓瑄校园生活愉快，本月接演新作品, 搭上台湾偶像王传一演出爱情喜剧片，乘短暂学校假期过足戏瘾！
新传媒U频道本年度全新原创影片《爱情折扣》（暂名）今天开拍，主角由陈靓瑄和台湾偶像男艺人王传一担任。
日前两人为宣传电影亮相于圣淘沙Siloso Beach，出席U频道活动"型男美媚沙滩乐"。
该片讲述两个陌生人在情人节相遇，发生在一天内的爱情故事。穿着轻便的靓瑄和传一心情漂亮，谈起首次合作拍戏，两人表示非常期待。
陈靓瑄接受xinmsn专访时透露，之前曾看过王传一的偶像剧《换换爱》，起初以为他是个严肃的人，没想到见面后才发现本尊友善又健谈。
王传一则笑说："昨天才知道她（靓瑄）是新加坡有名的七公主之一耶！哈哈！"
原来，身为台湾的他并不太了解本地娱乐圈，知道的仅包括范文芳和梁智强电影《小孩不笨》。
王传一：阳光男孩但怕晒黑
受邀参与本地戏剧作品的王传一近日来都忙着海外演出，在抵新之前才刚结束一部中国剧的拍摄。
工作忙碌的他，相隔3年再度访圣淘沙，让他不禁想起以前坐缆车游览的时光，直呼："圣淘沙比以前更漂亮了！"
自认是阳光男孩的传一在海边受访时显得格外轻松，笑说："今天要不是有工作，不然我就穿拖鞋，等一下跑下去（指大海）游泳！"
可，虽爱户外运动，但他却怕晒黑。
传一解释："如果可以放纵晒黑的话，那我拍电影刚开始很白，之后晒太阳变黑了，观众朋友看了会觉得很奇怪吧？"
陈靓瑄课业需帮忙 希望同学不嫌烦
陈靓瑄今年6月宣布暂别娱乐圈重回校园念大学。目前的她就读新加坡国立大学商科，开学至今已一个多月。
记者问靓瑄，那么快就接演新戏，学业方面是否能应付？
靓瑄表示，由于该片拍摄时间刚好碰上学校假期，所以才决定接演。她也强调，自己并没有所谓的"离开"或"回来"娱乐圈，因为演戏是她很喜欢做的事，只要有机会，她仍会继续演下去。
谈起校园生活，靓瑄满脸笑容，频频赞学校生活"很棒！很棒！"。
靓瑄说，开学至今仍会在校园内迷路，还好同学都很热心主动帮忙。而因离校多年的关系，靓瑄在学习上常需要同班同学帮忙，让她感到有点不好意思。
靓瑄笑说："可能我脑袋多年没用（来读书）了，所以不懂时就会一直问身边的同学。希望他们不要觉得我烦就好！哈哈！"
陈靓瑄：同学找合照 老师不认识
问起学业，靓瑄无奈表示，初中时期学过的东西很多都忘记了，而最伤脑筋的科目莫过于数学方面的功课。不过，至于自己的强项，靓瑄倒是非常有自信！
她说："我发觉我一点点的强项是在creative ideas（创艺），所以做projects时我有很多古灵精的想法！"
陈靓瑄和台湾偶像男艺人王传一合作演出U频道全新原创影片《爱情折扣》。
毕竟是艺人身份入学，靓瑄在校园活动时也必定更受注目。她透露，有同学会在下课后要求合照。但对于这些举动，她并不会感到困扰，反而觉得同学们可爱。
靓瑄与记者分享上课趣事，说学校的老师大多是外国人，所以都不知道她是艺人，而靓瑄也没刻意提起。
但有一次，老师听说班上有位艺人，非常惊喜，在上课时便问起靓瑄身份，又询问起班上同学是否认识她。
这时，同学们都不约而同地回答："对，她是...（艺人）"，引起轰堂大笑。
原创影片《爱情折扣》(Love, 50%) 将于12月19日（星期日）晚上9点，通过U频道播出。

Felicia Chin & Dai Yang Tian @ Style Weddings September 2010
LOVE HAPPENS
Felicia Chin and MediaCorp Artiste Dai Yang Tian may have a sizzling romance in the drama series, No Limits, but in real life, they are both enjoying their freedom as singletons.
Finding Time For Love
When it comes to love, Dai Yang Tian and Felicia Chin prefer to let it run its course.
"Romance is always round the corner, but it is not something I’m actively looking for," chirps Felicia. "I would rather it come as a surprise rather than plan for it."
In fact, she has no qualms about being single. "I haven’t been attached for the longest time. It is just difficult to go dating. The nature of my job does not allow me the space and time to get to know a person better," she claims.
Yang Tian, too, has been single for the past three years. "I’ve just been so busy working," he explains. In his two years in Singapore, he has worked, on average, between 16 to 18 hours a day. "With my hectic schedule, it’s hard to get into a relationship. We do not even have enough time to sleep," he protests.
Read the full interview with Felicia Chin and Dai Yang Tian in the latest issue of Styleweddings (Sept 10 - Feb 11). Out now on newsstands now!
