SINGAPORE: To everyone who has been speculating whether the rumours about MediaCorp actress Felicia Chin going under the knife are true, she only has one thing to say, “I have nothing to hide.”
Dispelling an unfounded remark made by fellow colleague, television host Dasmond Koh, who recently mentioned in an interview with a Chinese daily that she is “fake from waist up”, the slender and doe-eyed actress was adamant in maintaining her stand against the accusations.
“I don’t know whether people would want me to produce a doctor’s document to prove anything, but I think there’s no need for that,” refuted the 24 year-old.
“I have answered this question many times before and I don’t think I want to answer it anymore.”
Chin’s recent blog entry titled ‘Thankfulness’ expressed her gratitude to her fans who have stood by her while the gossip was spreading like wild fire.
In her entry, the good-natured actress noted that while “it is hurtful to be criticised and to remain under the constant scrutiny and attention of others”; she recognises the importance of letting the issue go.
“Since it has already happened, we should let it go. No point getting upset over the issue, and I will look forward,” she wrote.
Despite her tight schedule, the actress who was filming upcoming Channel 8 drama “Baby Bonus” at a McDonald’s outlet at Serangoon Central last week, exuded a sense of cordiality and patience when I approached and interrupted her during her long-awaited breather from filming.
In the show, which also stars Tay Ping Hui and Jesseca Liu, Chin plays Huang Li Ping, a single mother from a dysfunctional family who bears a son out of wedlock.
On her thoughts about how society can help young, single mothers in the same predicament, she cites the urgency to “get to the root of the problem”.
Listing several factors such as the “lack of education” and “negligence from the family”, she observes that a lot more needs to be done before we can find “a sure-proof way of helping these people out”.
But the actress was quick to point out that familial love plays an important role.
“Just like in ‘Baby Bonus’, it is only through the family’s love and care that made my character wake up to her senses and become a better mother,” said Chin.
So what were some of her fondest memories as a child?
“I am someone who suffers from a short-term memory so I don’t have many memories about my childhood,” she said sheepishly. “At least the lucky thing is that the memories that I actually remember are happy situations!”
She recalls a simple outing with her family to the Singapore Botanic Gardens as one of her unforgettable childhood memories.
“Every one of us was feeling laid-back and feeding the swans… it’s really the most simple things that we remember from our childhood. Looking and thinking back, it still gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling,” she shared.
And to all the guys out there who are charmed by this pretty and talented actress, listen up! When asked what makes her Mr Right ‘right’, the actress adopts a realistic, if not seemingly cynical mindset.
“I can say a lot of traits that I want in the guy that I love but most likely you’ll never find them in the guy you finally choose.
“If a guy has the ability to make you feel protected and truly loved, that is the most important thing,” she said.
In addition, Chin is magnanimous when it comes to accepting pet peeves about guys.
“Up till now, I am still pretty okay. I believe everyone will have their own little quirks!” she said with a laugh.
