Chew Chor Meng: Life is more than just awards

With the drama The Golden Path, Chew Chor Meng has proved himself to be more than an on-screen comedian, being nominated in the Best Male supporting actor in Star awards this year. Although his muscle ailment has gained him much attention, Chew tries hard to stave off the limelight. After what he had been through, it is no surprise to see Chew no longer his jovial self on camera, instead, his inner sorrow reveals itself unwittingly. He claims that he does not see any need to find solace in awards as he steps into the next stage of his life.

Life is never a bed of roses, some may grow stronger as they brave storms, but some may collapse in the raving weather. As for Chew, who was confirmed to be suffering from muscle dystrophy a few months back, the blow has enabled him to see things in a different light. As Chew puts it, the illness has brought him to the next stage of his life. "In the first half of my life, I've been leading a real fruitful one. I didn't have much experience in acting to start with and was not highly educated, but I was still able to make it big in my 10 years of showbiz career. Now that I'm into the second half of my life, I'm sure it will surpass the first, and this is no longer something that can be measured by the awards," Chew said.


In the process of filming The Golden Path, Chew already felt unwell. However, bearing in mind his motto in life, "Forget the past, surge forwards towards the finishing line", Chew gritted his teeth and continued on. From a comedian who never fails to bring on laughter, to a character full of burdened emotions in the drama, Chew definitely has put in tonnes of effort in the change. Being asked his "recipe" for handling a character with such complex negativities, Chew responded, "You will have different perspectives of viewing things around when you reach a certain age. The life experiences gained will in turn contribute to how you sculpt your character in the drama." With that, Chew added that the reason for his nomination in this year's Star awards is most probably due to his sudden change in persona in the drama, from someone who brings joy to someone who evokes tears of the audience.

One would think that going from a being lead actor to being nominated as a supporting actor today must have had another impact on Chew. However, Chew took it with a wider heart. "This is already the truth presented in front of you, you just have to accept it. I will let nature take its course, I see no problem with that," Chew said.

During the interview, Chew tried hard to divert the focus away from his illness, he was obviously a little defensive when tackling with questions related to his dystrophy. When complimented for taking things rather optimistically, Chew disagreed and retorted, "Many may see me as a jovial person on screen, and when they see me quiet off screen, they will start to feel that I'm being aloof. I'm naturally quiet, in fact I don't like to speak much. This has never changed throughout the years, my expression still remains the same."

Chew's original plan to announce his illness during this year's Star Awards has been disrupted as the news broke out unexpectedly a few months ago. Nevertheless, Chew will still be attending this year's Star Awards event. And after all that had happened, he will probably be the most emotional actor around at the ceremony this year.

Angeline: I agree...tough times/critical stage either makes u stronger or makes u collapse. I remember mentioning here...its the matter of choice. You can chose to become stronger or collapse. Its alright to fall...but, after the fall you must stand up again so that you can become stronger. A loser is not one who fall but rather one who after falling refuse to stand up again.
Think about it! You can't lose to anyone but yourself, since the actual challange is to become a better you. Cuz men made each one diff and unique.
So..Be strong! Its your choice!!!

Cats Musical

Went to watch Cats Musical with May, David, Rongfa, Wanyin, her hubby and May's cousin and cousin's bf last nite at Esplanade last nite.

Have been wanting to watch this musical since long ago...
finally got a chance to watch...
The setting is impressive I must say...

David was having fever yesterday...so was his son and May wasn't well too..
We managed to take some snapshot before we enter for the Musical..






Guess what...as we were waiting for the rest to arrive...I bumped into one of my classmate Joyce and her hubby...they were there to watch the Musical too...

Finally the Musical started....
The setting was impressive........
Dance...was a little disappointed...hee..perhaps we hold too much hope and had too high expectation for them..since they are such wel-known musical group...

But the singing was impressive....
Here are some snapshots of this musical...(of cuz not by me..its taken from their website...)hee....
