The road to stardom

We are on national TV!

Yes I mean me and En Xi. For those who have not seen it, we have been appearing during the commercial breaks on Ch 5 & 8 since last week. It all started with the “Beautiful Babies” contest that was organized by Friso, where En Xi’s photo was one of the lucky few to be selected. 2 months later, I got a call from Mediacorp about whether we are interested to appear in an interstitial commissioned by Friso. In short, it’s a series of short clips throughout the year to chart the baby’s milestones. Before we knew it, we were told that we were selected, all thanks to En Xi’s captivating smile.

The shoot happened a week just before I returned to work, and thank god I have lost a bulk of my pregnancy mass. Thou the whole interstitial is merely 30s, but the shoot took us an entire day. The most challenging part was trying to capture the smiles of En Xi. From silly nursery songs to hilarious-looking faces, everyone in the crew was trying their best to tease her so that she can let out that precious smile of hers.

We are very happy that the final cut turned out very well, and En Xi looks soooo adorable! I’m somewhat a TV personality now..haha. For those who still want to catch it, here are the upcoming slots for the 1st series.

I tried to catch the segments and realised that the timings in the excel file is for the show that will be aired.

That means have to sit thru the programs and wait for the commericals.

I gotta catch the full show, she really smiled all the way!!
