Filming of The Ultimatum
Posted in Acting, Food, tagged Felicia Chin, The Ultimatum, Zhang Zheng Huan on April 19, 2009| 14 Comments »
Hello!
This was one of the outdoor shoots for The Ultimatum, where I’m acting as a master pastry chef! It’s so fun being this character as I really do love baking and it’s a passion that I’ve developed since I was in secondary school.
Never did I imagine that I could don a chef’s uniform one day and be a “master chef”! 😛

Voice Over Recording for When Night Fa11s
Posted in Acting on March 29, 2009| 2 Comments »
Hello!!!
This is the 1st time doing a narration style voice recording, and it’s something I’ve never done before. And neither has Desmond. We had to speak with emotions spewing out from our voice so when the audience hears it and watch the silent film, U can know exactly how we’re feeling. Like the thoughts in our head are given a voice.
It was fun, emotional and definitely a fresh experience for me!
Here’s some behind the scenes shots of the recording.

When Night Fa11s
Posted in Acting on January 9, 2009| 6 Comments »
These are some of the film stills from the short film I just shot with hunky Desmond Tan – When Night Fa11s by Derrick Lui.
The shooting process was a real experience I will never forget! And the whole cast & crew bonded like a family! The most challenging part of this film was that it was shot without any dialogue so it really depended on us drawing our inner emotions and expressing it through our facial and body language. Crying without any speech and just gazing at an object sure isn’t easy! Thank you everyone in the team for making this such a great work experience!
XOXO

Planting a Tree in Chung Cheng High (Main)
Posted in Acting, Community Work on May 10, 2008| 2 Comments »
I finally embarked on planting my trees or “Plant-a Tree” as promised during my MSU 07 crowning! After one year and nearing the end of my reign, I managed to fulfill my goal and dream in doing so with the students in Singapore!!! 🙂
This is done in conjuction with NEA’s latest Energy Efficient Singapore Programme and launch of a short film called “Super Saver” where a Sec 1 Chung Cheng High boy is the main lead. I’m also starring in it as his teacher and “fairy of the forest”! Hee hee… Here’s a banner on it!
Catch the official launch of the short film on 23 May 2008 at Y2Y Network.
This morning I planted another tree but this time in Johor Bahru at Sungei Tebrau as part of the “Preserve Planet Earth” project as the Rotary Club Youth Ambassador. (More on this later)
Here’s the photos of the events that happened on 9 May, Friday.
Sitting amongst the students, waiting to go on stage to introduce our short film.
Talking about my experience acting with the Sec 1 boys and being their teacher!
Telling everyone about my latest article in Citta Bella May issue (Jacelyn Tay on cover) about saving the environment. Go get it!!!!
Now, moving on to planting a Honey Star Fruit tree with Super Saver! (Don’t U think he looks like Superhero Robin?)
Pouring in the soil and officially planting it in!
Now, to give it some water and spark of life!
And finally placing in the plaque in front of the tree… Let’s see how long it will take to grow up! 🙂 I shall visit it again in a few months time!
Zaki the photographer who helped me get some wonderful shots!
Hope U enjoyed the pics as much as I had fun there!

Had a Busy Week!
Posted in Acting, Fashion on May 2, 2008| Leave a Comment »
Hello!!!
I’ve not updated my blog for some days now… had a busy week and was very tired from the dance rehearsals for Fei Teng Bing Dian, to photoshoot for a fashion feature in I Weekly, to filming, to auditions, celebrating my birthday and organising stuff for my new home! *pant pant*
Dance rehearsals had been a little tough on me as we are required to learn the dance in a short time and I’m not a very experienced dancer as some – the last time I was officially trained in dance was in primary school for Chinese dance and it’s very different from Ballet! Which is the main foundation of the dance I’m learning now! So crash course in Ballet for me! Did Indian dance for President Star Charity last year but that is easy compared to what I’m learning now!!! Hee hee… I’ve accumulated quite a number of “blue-blacks” on my knee due to the floor work in the dance routine!!! But all in all I actually do enjoy the dance training lessons though I struggle at times but its a great workout and an art I’ve always loved! (I regretted not taking up ballet when I was younger!)
Here’s some photos taken during our rehearsals with Jeanette and the dancers who are really coaching us well!!!
Notice the knee guards I’m wearing!!! Hee that’s to prevent more bruises from forming! My knees look “dirty” now cos of it and can’t wear my fav short skirts n shorts esp. when the weather’s been blazing hot lately!
Speaking of weather…. was filming for a couple of hours with Jeanette the other day in the hot afternoon sun around 1pm outdoors and I was burnt tho’ I had sunblock on! Got myself some funky tan lines on my body and arms!! *haha* and today I realised I was actually burnt as my forehead started peeling!!! For a moment I was wondering what’s wrong with my skin then I remembered my days in the sun… 😛
That’s all for now… time to Zzzzz….
Till we meet again!
XOXO
Jess
P.S. I’m in the showdown “Sin City” trailer kicking some ass with the DOND babes!

Dance Training and NEA Short Film Shoot
Posted in Acting, Community Work on April 21, 2008| 3 Comments »
Just came back from my dance training with Jeanette for our dance scene together and it’s very “hot”! Don’t know how it’ll come across on camera but I like how it looks in the mirror! But comparing me with Jeanette who has 10 years of dance background I feel pressured and look not as experienced as her dancing! Hee…. *stress*
More training sessions is yet to come and hope it’ll look better and better!!!
Did a short film shoot for NEA to promote saving the environment and saving electricity and planting more trees! I’m supposed to be a teacher cum “Guardian of the Forest!”
Here’s my “Guardian” outfit during our photoshoot with Ralph the superhero that saves our Earth!!!
Do I look like a fairy???
Wish I could keep the wings tho!! 😦
Ralph the Superboy!!! I love my face paint and twigs “growing” in my hair! 😛
After the shoot I was really hungry! Had a nice dinner at Ichiban! But the highlight was really the White Sesame pudding dessert I ended my meal with!
Okie, that’s all for now… I’ll upload the pics taken during the publicity shoot soon! (when I get them from Desmond)
XOXO
Jess
Keeping Fit!
Posted in Acting, Food on April 10, 2008| 4 Comments »
I’ve been exercising everyday now from going for yoga, running, skipping rope and going to the gym and maintaining a much healthier diet – taking plenty of fruits/vegetables and drinking only juices, green tea and water – in bid to stay healthy and also prepare myself for the Chinese drama role. I’m playing a dancer hence trying my best to get a more dancer-like physique.
Also, this gives me more motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle!
I feel a lot more energetic with constant exercise and skin glows now!
Want to see me really sweat it out??? Look out for this new Ch5 variety show called Showdown (airing in May) where I really work it out and get all sweaty and muddy!!! (no pun intended!)
XOXO
