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.
