#lovethyneighbour Felicia gets personal!

Photobucket

Feli gets personal about juggling school work and acting. Being away from acting for a while, she shares what it’s like coming back to do what she does best.

School has already started for me! Looking back(although I don’t have the habit to do that), I had quite a fulfilling 3-month-long holidays! Though it was jam-packed with activites, after going through these hectic 3 months, I find it rather amazing and fun!

I had my 2-weeks exchange programme in Beijing where I met up and worked with students from the States and Peking University. A short period of time, but I made new friends from different countries and cultures.

Right before filming started, I had the chance to participate in Stars for a Cause, which brought me to the world’s first Elephant Hospital in Chiangmai. My heart went out to them when I saw several elephants that were injured by the land mines, and the impact simply blew off the soles of their feet and several were amputated. It’s really heartbreaking. But I was very touched when these elephants actually recognised me when I went back to visit them on the following days:) it really warmed my heart.

The people there are also very creative, they use elephant dung to make a lot of other stuff like papers, envelopes, containers etc to raise funds for the elephants. I bought a fan that is made of dung!!!

Photobucket

It really served me well when I was getting too hot during the filming of Love Thy Neighbour! Not to worry, it doesn’t smell at all.

Photobucket

And I like to have a piece of tissue stick to my forehead when I’m perspiring… Haha…little secret, it serves its purpose yet does not mess up the hair.

Photobucket

It wasn’t too difficult for me to juggle school and acting this time round, as filming occured during my vacation. But it feels kind of strange after being in a study mode for almost a year. Waking up as early as 5 plus in the morning getting my butt to Mediacorp E5 (our make up unit) was new but also familiar. -_-’Getting to see the familiar faces of our make up artistes, wardrobe coordinator, directors, assistant directors, production assistants and the crew etc does really feel like home again!

Frankly, the first few weeks of filming did leave me with a tinge of, “ Am I back in front of the camera portraying another role??”

Photobucket

It’s like making friends with the camera once again! Rather then having my usual thick textbook and tons of notes on hand, I’m having the feel of the scripts on my hand once again……

Photobucket

Photobucket

Another difference is that everything’s in chinese and I have to memorise all my scripts! (Time to brush up on my Mandarin! :p)

I also had to get used to my new role Wang Tian Hu. She’s someone who likes rock music but personally, I’m not really a rock person. So I had rock music downloaded and I will listen to it whenever I’m free, so as to get into the mood, haha.. I even chanced upon a rock music book so I bought it! Just knowing more about rock musicians and music will help build up the character I was playing. Also, watching videos of how all those rock musicians perform is a must, so that I can pick up a few points from them.

Photobucket

If you guys realise, I have this BRIGHT ORANGE headset which I love so much!!

Photobucket

I bought it the minute I set my eyes on it and decided to use it as one of my “accessories” for Wang Tianhu who loves music so much! So as to bring out the character more distinctly:)

Photobucket

Alright! It’s time for me to go back to my books! So long guys… I will be back!

#lovethyneighbour Felicia the blogger writes about playing 王天胡!


Straight from the horse’s mouth! In her very first post, Felicia Chin writes about her character 王天胡!
Or is it 王天胡 writing about Felicia Chin…?


Hi everyone! I am Wang Tian Hu(王天胡); I like to say I am Wang Tian Gu Yue(王天古月)because I have a love-hate relationship with my name. (It’s so girly!)

It is really interesting because there is this certain student actress Felicia Chin acting as me in a recent Channel 8 production called Love Thy Neighbour based on my life story! Hope she portrays me well….I am definitely no girl next door ok! I would like to believe that I am smart, very street wise, outgoing with a ….deep longing for a perfect family I guess.


I love rock music, play the electric guitar and drums and am a professional cheat 24/7=) I am uneducated and I feel that there is no wrong in cheating the rich to feed myself and also the poor.



Check out my outfits when I am out cheating! I am normally not that prim and proper=p Yep, that is exactly how I look when I am scowling..I do not have a good temper that’s the truth.


That is my dad!(acted by Hongkong veteran artiste XiaYu in the show). He taught me all the ropes to the trade( being a cheat!) but I always believe that I am much better at choosing my targets…He always gets into trouble=xxx


This is the beautiful Lucy!( played by veteran Aileen Tan); I love her to death; she is like a 2nd mother to me and hmm.. sometimes I think she deserves someone much better than my dad. Hehe..kidding! I hope they get married soon.

Ye Meng is the centre of my universe*blush**( played by Shaun Chen below). He used to be an unfortunate victim of me and my dad but slowly, he worked his way into my heart. Hehe….that’s how all love stories go right?


Here’s Felicia Chin in Love Thy Neighbour- I would say, she got my swagger right, not too bad.





That’s all for now! Am excited to see the finished product of Love Thy Neighbour! It’s not every day that your life is played on screen right?=)For more juicy snippets of Love Thy Neighbour, wait up for my next blog entry!

Wang Tian Gu Yue signing off.

#lovethyneighbour 劲爆劲爆 Felicia injured after attack by pervert + Shaun takes pants off

Photobucket

组屋区出现变态狂,怎么办!Perv in the neighbourhood, what to do??

When we got to the set for Love Thy Neighbour last week, Felicia was in the middle of a huge tussle with the neighbourhood perv 白斩鸡 (White Chicken, played by Wu Luo Yi 伍洛毅)!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Tied up and thrown around, you wouldn’t know that she was just at the doctor’s an hour ago bandaging up deep abrasions on her knees! If you look carefully, you will see several skin-coloured plasters covering up her bandage. Up close though, we could still see angry red swelling around the edges, and the wounds looked like they were bleeding still. :S

Photobucket

Not knowing if this was part of the scene, we asked around and found out that Felicia had taken a bad fall earlier while filming a scene where she ran away from pervy 白斩鸡! (He was chasing her down a road, and when she turned back to look at him, she fell on her knees, also scratching her elbows in the process)

After cleaning up her wounds at the doctor’s, she was back on set again, kicking, running and jumping over ledges. When we asked her how she was, the ever-professional sweetie said matter-of-factly, “When I act, I don’t feel the pain.”

A+ for professionalism, Feli!

Another professional is Shaun, who also bared his precious parts to save her from the pervert! (Holding Felicia hostage, 白斩鸡 threatened to hurt her unless Shaun took off his pants!)

Photobucket

As tense as the scene was, the whole set erupted into laughter when the colourful animals on his boxers came out to play! (trivia: there were elephants, giraffes and eagles. Probably more, but we didn’t want to stare.)

Shaun: 看看我底裤上的动物园!
Director: 喂,不是说好了要露点吗?

Photobucket

“我们快要瞎了”

Photobucket

With several NGs takes, Shaun had his pants up and down and up and down so many times we had to leave! As we walked away, Shaun joked “喂,拍到你要的东西就走人,卑鄙!” (Leaving right after you’ve gotten what you wanted, despicable!) so we ran away laughing!

陈靓萱拍追逐戏 意外擦伤双膝

本地艺人陈靓萱日前(28日)为新剧拍摄追逐戏,虽然意外受伤,仍敬业地完成所有动作场面!

本地艺人陈靓萱日前(28日)为新剧拍摄追逐戏,虽然意外受伤,仍敬业地完成所有动作场面!

趁着大学假期过戏瘾的陈靓萱,拍摄8频道新剧《四个门牌一个梦》,灾难连连。

之前因为弹吉他太忘我,导致手指受伤流血;今次拍摄一场天胡(陈靓萱饰)对峙邻里变态白斩鸡(伍洛毅饰)的戏,竟让这位新传媒前公主跌伤双膝。

据悉,当时陈靓萱被'变态'伍洛毅在组屋楼下追逐,后来因为回头望,一不小心就跌倒了。

事发后,陈靓瑄和助理立刻去看医生,包扎了伤口。她的双膝擦损得相当严重,手肘也有轻伤。之后,制作组为了连戏,用肉色的胶布掩盖纱布。

陈靓萱在受伤后,仍亲自完成剩余的动作场面。工作人员上前关心,问她会不会痛时,陈靓萱说:"我开始演戏时,就感觉不到痛了。"

陈泓宇被逼脱裤子?!

另外,当天拍摄的戏还包括陈泓宇饰演的叶孟,为了救被白斩鸡挟持的天胡,惨遭被逼脱裤子,还被拍了脱裤照。




陈泓宇当时穿着特地为了这场戏准备的,印有可爱动物图案的四角内裤。拍摄那场戏时,因为必须一直把裤子拉上拉下,让陈泓宇好害羞,看的人反倒觉得好笑。

《四个门牌一个梦》从9月27日起,每逢星期一至五,晚上9点,通过8频道播出。
