I am a TV addict since young. And as I sit by the television set to watch my fave singers perform, I started to get addicted to performing.
Those who know me well will know that I adore this group of girls who are even younger than me since I was eight. They are known as 'M Girls' and 'Four Little Golden Princess'. Being artists of Wayang Tinggi Entertainment, they started out at an early age of 5-6 to sing. Therefore, I grew up with them over the years. Through familiar tunes that kids will hum, folk songs, Chinese new year, and now, their self-composed ballads. Many may not know them. And if you do, you might be puzzled as to why I am so supportive of them. Just one sentence to explain- I salute and am impressed by their spontaneity, hard work and preserver in the entertainment industry, still holding the torch which carries the flame of passion.
Can you imagine? Since such a tender age of 5 till now, your whole childhood is been given to the mass public. Everything you do is restricted. I doubt if they even know the 'freedom' which they have lost. And although they are now a household name in Malaysia (yes, they are girl groups from M'sia), they are still very humble and am still working very hard to promote their album to Asia.
We should be learning from them. To cherish all that they have had and opportunities that come knocking on their door. Not like celebrities these days, take the stage for granted and misuse it. You ought to go 'fan xing fan xing'.
And because of my adoration, I started to pick up singing. I like to sing. I like to entertain. I must have bored my family with all the performance which I have forced my sisters to learn and rehearse. But these are childhood memories which I will never forget. At least I have imparted laughter to my audience. Be it whether they are laughing at my stupidlity or my talent.

Years passed and I got on to watching drama serials. Hong Kong serials were very popular then, but I was not much of a fan until when they started to broadcast mystery detective-police casefiles. (I am a reader of romance and mystery novels. But shalln't speak of that now.) However, what got me really addicted was Taiwanese Drama Serials. Guess which show? You've got it- Meteor Garden aka 'Liu Xing Hua Yuan'.
This show is a history in making. Because of this show, many started to watch taiwan idol dramas and eversince then, the market have been expanding and blooming rapidly.
Shows which I will recommend are Meteor Garden, It all Started with a Kiss, Love Contract, Devil Besides you, Mars, The Rose, Tokyo Juliet and many more. I shall introduce each and every idol drama when I have the time. And among the actors are some which I really take my hat off. I can see that they have worked hard for the status they have achieved today.
I pray that I will one day, be as successful as them, regardless of which industry I head towards.
