The Kitchen Musical Interview Part 2

Now on to another cast from The Kitchen Musical--Maddie's best friend Daniel!

Daniel is played by Christian Bautista, another singer-actor from the Philippines. Christian and Karylle have worked together numerous times before and they're good friends in real life, just like Maddie and Daniel. Unlike his more serious character in The Kitchen Musical though, Christian is a very funny guy. When asked what the biggest challenge for him was filming this series, he admitted it was the dancing. Thankfully though, he had Jason Coleman (dance consultant for "Happy Feet" and judge on the TV series "So You Think You Can Dance Australia") on board to teach the entire cast how to move and groove to the music.

Speaking about music, Christian Bautista is familiar with Malaysia and has worked with various Malaysian artists before! His had a duet with Noryn Aziz entitled "Anugerah Cinta" that was released last year, and he's even worked with Malaysian beauty Carmen Soo in his "Afraid For Love To Fade" music video and other projects.

The other interesting part about being in the series for Christian was the bootcamp the cast was put through. It was then he learnt proper chopping skills, cooking techniques, and how the chefs move in an actual restaurant kitchen. He even got to explaining how different chefs are situated in different parts of the kitchen and they have to move in sync with one another if they were going to get the dishes out in time. Interesting indeed.

Then there's the man himself, Stephen Rahman-Hughes who needs no introduction.

Having been in the theater and performing arts industry for a long time, Stephen had no problem singing, acting, and dancing in The Kitchen Musical. Cooking however proved to be a bit of a challenge for him. As Alex the Head Chef in The Kitchen Musical, Stephen had to be the one to know it all. He had to act like a real head chef, knowing the actual ins and outs to make his kitchen function. Having gone through the bootcamp, Stephen was amazed at how each of the cast fell into their roles easily, all thanks to the careful detail creator Cheek put in in picking out the right person for each role. Even he himself started shouting around in the kitchen, just like Alex would.

One of the best parts for Stephen was he felt everyone had creative ownership of The Kitchen Musical--like when he suggested certain choreography moves in certain scenes, Jason would take in the ideas and incorporate them. Overall, everyone was easy to work with and they felt like family to him.

Listening to them talk about their roles and their lives, it really showed how much dedication they had towards the production of this series. Christian Bautista even said he was ready to take time out to film a second season if there was going to be one! With so much effort put into The Kitchen Musical, it definitely reflected itself and I can't wait for you guys to see the full episode!

The Kitchen Musical Interview Part 1

The thing I love about this job is being able to meet people, watch TV shows and write! More so when I get to TRAVEL and write...

L-R: Rosemary Vandenbroucke, Christian Bautista, Stephen Rahman-Hughes, Karylle Tatlonghari, Arthur Acuna

Don't know if you guys have heard but ntv7 will be airing a new TV series called The Kitchen Musical that features Stephen Rahman-Hughes, Karylle Tatlonghari, Christian Bautista, Rosemary Vandenbroucke, and Arthur Acuna.

You guys might be scratching your heads and going like "Oh I know Stephen Rahman-Hughes, but who are the rest?"

Well let's start with the leading lady Karylle shall we?

Karylle (pronounced Ker-rell) is a well known singer-actress back in her home country the Philippines. She has released 4 studio albums, with the latest one "Road Trip" telling the story of her life through her own compositions. Karylle is an amazing singer and she's really sweet, the kind of person who is just so sincere that everyone feels at ease when talking to her.

During the interview, she talked about a few things: like how she was quite similar to her character Maddie in The Kitchen Musical. Maddie is the kind of person who wants to get her ideas through to the Head Chef, Alex ( played by Stephen Rahman-Hughes), more so in an environment where she's being told to stay in her place and only do what she's being told. Personally, Karylle feels she's pretty much like that too. When she couldn't find someone to put her "Road Trip" album out for her, she financed it and put it out on her own.

Like Maddie, Karylle has a passion for food. The irony of it though is that being around food, researching food, and watching cooking shows all the time kinda made her gain weight. Nonetheless, she enjoyed working with Stephen, whom she says is very down to earth and easy to work with, and Christian whom she's known for a long time.

ntv7 Feel Good Run

I still remember the Feel Good Run committee starting out and planning the Feel Good Run waaaaaay back in Jan/Feb of this year. It felt a bit far then, like we couldn't plan most things because we weren't sure of the number of participants who would want to run with us. Now, we have maxed out on our participation and people are still asking us how they can join!

Needless to say, it was all thanks to every one of you out there who, through word of mouth, spread the news about this run and registered to support! Even the artists spread the news among themselves, and the turnout? Well look at the list of participating artists HERE and you'll see how supportive they are! (Shoutout to famous blogger Niki Cheong for running with us too!)

So back to the Feel Good Run, the committee believed that our aim was to live up to the name "Feel Good Run" so there were loads of considerations as to what performances there should be, what events should we have and what other feel good experiences could we give the participants out there. So from there we had the idea of having free carnival games--for kids and people who would bring their families to the run; then there would be some performances by artists like John (Project Superstar), Dina (Malaysian Idol), and freebies from sponsors. (Sure hope it's happening enough for ya!)

Also, boxes and boxes of items have started to fill the office cause we've started receiving the goodie bag items from our sponsors! Can't reveal what the items in the goodie bags are yet, so you have to finish the run in order to find out... but promise it's good stuff! And we want to pack them all up with love so everyone in the ntv7 family is going to help out and pack your goodie bags! That way you'll really know we love you :)

So guys, we're excited about the event and we know you are too. Let's all anticipate this coming Sunday, the 3rd of July! But before you my little blog, here are the 7 running funfacts and some Feel Good Run videos to cheer your day up.

Feel Good Run Running Funfacts:



Feel Good Run Videos:

Will Fabes really run during the Feel Good Run?



Naz and Nadia needing support from you and your families!



Baki and Nicholas, who do you think has more fans who'll come and support them? (Chinese version)

Will Grey Be Okay?

Let's recap on Season 6's finale:

The husband of a patient is angered by the death of his wife because he was promised that she would live. He carried a gun and he walked into Grace Mercy West, shooting 18 people including Derek Shepherd (Patrick Damsey).

Following the traumatic incident, the doctors are back to work in this season's opening. Although they seem ready to jump back into being a surgeon again, they have to go through a counselor who will need to assess each one's mental state. Only one rule applies here, get the green light and you'll get to operate.

You can never get enough of Grey's Anatomy, cause there's so much to expect from this new season. Cristina and Owen's relationship take a big change (this one's interesting to watch), Derek's a changed man after getting shot, Lexie suffers a nervous breakdown from the incident (another interesting one to look for) and April goes back to her perk-annoying self, being cast as a regular on the show now.

Slowly bringing the cast out of the seriousness of Season 6's finale, Season 7's opening was very well woven together. The writer tells you the questions you've been dying to know, like what happened Meridith's baby in a very subtle and simple way, while mapping out the new storyline in store for Season 7.

So if you missed the team then you better tune in this Saturday (21/5) at 10pm cause Grey's Anatomy is back!

The Royal Wedding

Twenty-nineth of April, Twenty-eleven,

Catch the procession of this match made in heaven.

A live coverage that's not to be missed,

Join in the moment that's hard to resist.

The Royal Wedding is just 3 days away, and the whole world is anticipating the  moment His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales receives his bride Miss Catherine Middleton at the Westminster Abbey.

After dating for more than 6 years, Prince William finally popped the question to his brunette beauty Kate on a romantic trip in Kenya. He proposed with his late mother Princess Diana's engagement ring--a pretty sapphire and diamond ring, as seen on the royal couple's official engagement picture.

I for one am a fan of Kate. Her fun-loving, sporty personality paired with her uniquely elegant sense of style earned her the approval to be the bride of an equally fun-loving yet humble, and grounded Prince of Wales.

Hmm I wonder what the bride-to-be will wear for the Royal Wedding... But here I am in a gown, inspired by Rosa Clara, especially for the wedding.

While things like the procession and ceremony are left to tradition, the Royal Wedding this time will be taking an unconventional approach where there'll be LIVE tweets from Westminster Abbey, the Clarence House and everyone in the world watching the wedding!

If tweets are not enough to satisfy that craving to see Kate Middleton walk down the aisle to meet her Prince, you can join me in tuning in to the LIVE coverage on TV from 3pm when Kate will travel from the Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, the wedding service, and the trip back to the Buckingham Palace where the Royal Couple will greet the people on Friday (29/4), on ntv7 your home of feel good.

The Perfect Gentleman 《魅力型男》

So there's been some talk over this new program we're having called The Perfect Gentleman. Cause of one reason, well there is one only--the ladies in the office get to see hunks!

I'm imagining people like Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Henney, Hyun Bin or even local celebs like Melvin Sia come out from this program. Too ambitious perhaps?

Well to be fair I think there are hunks in Malaysia, otherwise Cleo won't have their 50 most eligible bachelors every year right? Only here's the twist, these hunks not only have to look good, they have to be talented and I do mean singing / dancing / composing / writing / hosting / acting / etc. talented.

Like how 8TV had their Hot Chef, now is the time to find The Perfect Gentleman--the one guy who would open the door for a lady, hold the lift and let everyone in before hopping on, a guy who would sing to impress a girl, a guys who charms with his good looks, and so much more.

Perfect is a hard word to live up to, and most people would tell you that there are no perfect guys anyway but here we are ready to brave it all and hope for the best. *fingers crossed*

Now, hot hunk recommendations anyone?

p/s: Miss feelgoody2shoes's personal preferences for hunks are the likes of Jay Park, Taecyeon (2PM), Nickhun (2PM), Jinwoon (2AM). Yes, I do realize that they are mostly Korean :)

Dance like Nobody's Watching - Dansa II

Eeek, did the blog grow a little moss while I was away? Sorry about the lack of updates since the last post, I've been busy with a lot of stuff, not involving picking out a favourite shoe in case you were wondering...

But I'm back and I'm going to bring you behind the scenes of our latest Press Conference for Dansa II!

So the PR team was all over the place before the press conference, as usual they had to make sure everything was running fine before we introduced the Season 2 of this well loved Dance/Travel Program.

The moment I reached Full House in Sunway Giza, one of the PR peeps was in a full decked baju melayu! Turns out, he was going to host the press conference and had to dress to suit the cultural themed event.

All over the stage were mannequins in respective cultural costumes featured in Dansa II. I can't name you each one but what I can name you are some of the places the Dansa crew went to film--Thailand, Taiwan and Macau! *envy*

These beautiful portraits were lined all around the otherwise plain room, kinda reminds you of an art gallery doesn't it? Made me feel like standing and admiring each portrait while wondering what went on in that particular scene.

You know, during the press conference, Dansa II's host Sasha Bashir was actually having a fever. But because of her passion for dance and culture, she pressed on a gave a wonderful opening performance. It is with this sort of commitment that the tagline for Dansa shines even more: Dance like nobody's watching.

She's not the kind to fall back or give up; but chooses to press on and learn a new dance despite the difficulties. It's that realism and determination in her that makes me want to watch as she travels and makes the most of it. Well, it's also cause she visits the nicest places like Macau!

Dansa II will be aired every Thursday at 7.30pm, from the 10th of March 2011!

The Seeds of Life《渔米人家》

You might know him as the Golden Awards Best Actor, Ah Pao (The Superb Match Maker) or even Zi Cheng (Tribulations of Life). Regardless of what character he is, I'm sure you're familiar with Melvin Sia one way or another.

Then there's the unmistakable Shaun Chen, who from the time ntv7 started production of it's first ever local drama "The Beginning", he's always been the antagonist, the bad guy that everyone doesn't like but can't bear to hate cause of his good acting.

And Eelyn Kok, who needs no introduction for her works in Together and Little Nyonya, is such a great actress she makes the characters come alive whether the bubbly girl with big dreams or the selfish sister.

I'm sure some of you are wondering by now what the point of this post is, well it's about a new series called The Seeds of Life 《渔米人家》 (Yu Mi Ren Jia).

The name of this drama which translates roughly into "The Village of Fish and Rice" was inspired very much by Sekinchan, a fishing and rice producing village located in Selangor.

I was never from a small town or village so I can't vouch to say that I understand the feeling of wanting to break away from the humbleness of a small place to make it big in the city. But these are the struggles of the characters in The Seeds of Life--growing up in a small but close-knit community, there are those who love their home and would do anything for it, and yet there are those who want more than just a simple life.

Two brothers Shi Chong (Shaun Chen) and Shi Jie (Melvin Sia) are sons of the Luo family who run a rice milling business in their village. Although younger, Shi Jie is the one who responsibly carries out his duties towards the family business while his brother tries to impress but always fails cause he's over-ambitious.

In comes Xiao Yu (Eelyn Kok), a simple and contented girl, the kind who's willing to sacrifice anything for her family. Now Shi Jie, Xiao Yu, Zheng Shun (Cheng Zhi Wei) and De Jun (Ken Tan) are best buddies, while Xiao Yu and Zheng Shun are the village's model couple (the ones who should get married and live happily ever after). But what happens when the whole village expects you to do something and you don't? Pressure mounts, stares and glares are thrown at you, and you're left feeling guilty.

How will Xiao Yu face the people around her if and when she finally decides her one true love isn't Zheng Shun? How will Shi Jie explain himself when he's being named the person who betrayed his friend and ruined a fine couple? I'd love to tell you the story but I haven't gotten there yet, so you've got to watch to find out!

Starting tonight, 24th of February, Seeds of Life airs every Monday to Thursday at 10pm!

Happy Wabbity New Year

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Well it's a little late but hey, Chinese New Year spans 15 days right? So that's 15 days of celebrations, 15 days to collect Ang Paos and 15 days of cookies, snacks, and good food! No complaints there :)

But this year's Chinese New Year is one of my favourites, I mean look at the cute bunnies all over the malls as deco! Besides, my lil pet rabbit Grey gets to appear as part of the celebrations too!

Well the other special thing about this year's Chinese New Year was that ntv7 had it's very first CNY telemovie called "The Superb Match Maker". When I watched it for the first time on the first day of CNY, I was really blown away by the beauty of the scenes and the simple yet funny storyline.

I remember watching Pei Xuan talking about her involvement in one of the behind the scenes clips and something she said stuck to my mind. It was this:"Being able to act in this movie leaves me with no regrets for my entire life". I guess she wasn't kidding cause the movie really is something to remember.

The other amazing thing about this movie is the distinct styles of each character and how each has a storyline. I for one am a person who is particular when it comes to the side characters in the movie, and I'd always wish the directors would give the side characters a little more room for development. Well this movie did just that, and it makes me smile to think of the happy endings for each couple.

I know a lot of people have given good reviews to the movie, but if you haven't watched it, don't take our word for it but check it out for yourself HERE. It's going to be on tonton for a limited time until the 25th of Feb so if you're wanting to watch then do it quick!

The DVD version of the movie is going to be out today, so when the rain stops, I'm going out to get it!

Scrape that, just found out the DVD is only coming out on the 17th of Feb *sigh* 3 days to go!

《十分红演唱会》 网络竞赛 Star Live Be A Star Contest

让我们一起来“疯音乐”！Let's all go crazy about music!

《诡雾山城》 Mystique Valley

(Top L-R): Hishiko Woo, Alice Yap, Executive Producer Stanley Law, ntv7 Chinese Brand Manager Lai Cheah Yee, Jess Teong, Susan Leong, Ng Kim Ying, Mandy Chong. (Bottom L-R): Eric Chen, Elvis Chin, Jordan Voon

It was 10.30am in the morning and I was headed over to Full House at Sunway Giza for a press conference. As I walked up, it felt surreal to see these veteran actors lounging around the little made-up garden area outside Full House, all part of the cast of "Mystique Valley", whose story revolves around a family who runs a timber business.

Susan Leong (one of the Best Supporting Actress nominees in the Golden Awards) plays the hard and strong old lady of the He (pronounced Her) family, and her preference for her son over her daughter has created much tension among her children. Being the only son, He ZhongXiong (played by Eric Chen ) is made the head of the family, however he struggles to keep up with expectations and is seen as a pushover by his power-hungry uncle He XinJin (played by Best Supporting Actor nominee Jordan Voon).


He XinJin would do anything to fulfil his greed for power, and when ZhongXiong's elder sister CanQing (played by Jess Teong) comes back after many years to help her brother with the family business, he feels that his place is threatened.

What will happen to the He family now that CanQing is back? Follow "Mystique Valley" as the story unfolds and brings to light all the dark hidden secrets of each family member.

Mystique Valley premieres on the 9th of November 2010 @ 10pm! You can also watch ntv7 on Astro Channel 107.

《大冒险家》 The Great Adventure

吴镇宇对我而言是个很有才华的的艺人，他无论是演好的或奸的角色都那么的投入。看到《大冒险家》里的主要演员有吳鎮宇（無間道II、衝上雲霄），陳慧珊（妙手仁心、衝上雲霄），和黃子华（棟篤神探），真的让我很期待！

范守望（吴镇宇饰）在广州出生，年龄十多岁就跟父亲搬到香港生活。身为中医的父亲对守望的影响很大，看见父亲乐于助人的一面让守望相信这世界是充满期望的。只要大家都守望互助，世界可以很美好的。守望长大后当上某家银行的办公室助理，过着平凡又美满的生活，一直到得知父亲年前曾替朋友担保借下巨款，可惜友人夹带私逃，身负欠债。守望为了解除困境，决定帮邻居办事，换取金钱。从此，守望的命运也有了转机。

守望经历了不少困境，发掘自己大爱冒险的一面。某日，他碰上一位数学天才白活（黃子华饰）, 而两人互补长短，在香港打下了属于自己的一片江山。

来自《创世纪》编剧邵丽琼创作，《大冒险家》会是一个很精彩的电视剧！10月7日起，《大冒险家》每逢星期一至五，中午2点半播出！

I've always loved Francis Ng, to me he's a really versatile actor who can act nice, evil, crazy, you name it! I was actually quite excited to see "The Great Adventure" feature familiar names like Francis Ng (Infernal Affairs 2, Triumph in the Skies), Flora Chan (Healing Hands, Triumph in the Skies), and Wong Chi Wah (To Catch The Uncatchable)--seriously, what are the odds?!

Fan Sau Mong (Francis Ng) grew up in Guang Zhou and moved to Hong Kong when he was younger. Greatly influenced by his father who's a Chinese Medicinal Doctor, he always believed that the world was full of hope. As long as everyone helped each other and looked out for one another, the world would be a better place.

Sau Mong grew up and lived a simple yet fulfilled life working as the assistant manager in a bank. All was fine until his father, after signing up as a guarantor for a friend that took off, was now in great debt. In order to settle his father's debts, Sau Mong agreed to help his neighbor in return for some money. From there, his simple fate changed.

As he went through various hardships, Sau Mong found the risk taker inside of him. One day, he meets Bak Woot (Wong Chi Wah), who is a genius mathematician and they soon realize that they complimented each other in terms of brains and guts, so they teamed up and started to build an empire of wealth.

Coming from the same writer who wrote "At The Threshold of an Era", "The Great Adventure" is definitely going to be an exciting drama to watch! It airs every Monday to Friday @ 2.30pm, from the 7th of October 2010.

After the much loved drama "Injustice", we're keeping the adrenaline rush with a crime investigation drama "Unriddle"!

On board "Unriddle" is 2010 Singapore Entertainment Awards' Most Popular TV Actress Rui En, and the all new edgy looking Chen Li Ping. Alongside these leading ladies are the charming actors Tay Ping Hui, Zheng Ge Ping, Rayson Tan and more, making the series all the more interesting to watch.

Rui En plays a serious, no-nonsense police detective called Xiaoman, who heads a police team of her own. While uncovering a case a human trafficking, she recognizes one of the suspects as Zhengyi (played by Chen Li Ping), but is unable to bring her to justice. Little did Xiaoman know that Zhengyi is actually an undercover policewoman, placed in the gang of human traffickers by fellow police detective Yuze (Tay Ping Hui).

As Xiaoman slowly delves into homicides, identity theft and missing peoples cases, she soon realizes that all these cases lead to an unsolved mystery dating back to 15 years. The unlikely pair Xiaoman and Zhengyi team up to unriddle the case involving Yuze, who seems to be the prime suspect of it all.

Garnering high ratings from Singapore viewers, "Unriddle" will be premiering in Malaysia for the first time on 5th October 2010. The series will be aired every Monday to Thursday at 10pm!

p/s: Rui En was said to have done the stunts on her own until her injury from one of the filmed scenes prohibited her from doing so. Chen Li Ping also manages to break away from her old image and does a great job playing the tough cookie Zhengyi.

Crossings The Series

It's been a while since there has been a locally produced English series, and the last one I remember is probably Ghost on 8TV. Well now, there's going to be a new dark comedy series called "Crossings"!

Now if you're wondering what Crossings is about, Crossings is about Bob Boroi, a loser in life who aspires to be something better (Gerard Butler perhaps, you'll understand why in the first episode). So one day, on the way home, Bob meets with a freak accident and wakes up to find that the person he sees in his reflection is not his own! These "people" he sees have unfinished business and Bob is given the responsibility to help them settle the unfinished business before they can move on.

Now, a little about the interesting characters in Crossings:

Bob Boroi (Zakizamani Osman)
A loser, Bob works in Merlin Advertising as a copywriter.

Katie short for Katijah (Dira Abu Zahar)
Not your average girl, Katie is a tomboyish filmmaker who helps Bob in his quest to help the dead.

Daniel / Danny Boy (Hansen Lee)
A geek who doesn't look like one, Danny loves inventing things and believes his ghost hunting contraptions can detect spirits and help Bob.

Anthony / Antoine (Xavier Fong)
The queen receptionist in Merlin Advertising, Antoine is Brenda's good friend and he might remind you of Marc from Ugly Betty.

Brenda (Ruzana Ibrahim)
The hot chick in the office, Brenda uses her looks to make people do things for her (by people I mean Bob).

Miss Merlin (Nina Sharil Khan)
Sharp with her words, Miss Merlin is the boss/owner of Merlin Advertising.

Sifu Chun (Yalal Chin)
A Chinese sinseh Bob consults, and surprisingly the father of Danny.

My take on Crossings is, it's a quirky series with a tinge of the supernatural--cue dark comedy. The angles in which the stories are told keeps you wondering in each episode. Plus, there's a lineup of amazing guests actors in the series! People like Craig Fong (Kopitiam), Indy Nadarajah (Setem), Yvonne Sim (FHM Girl Next Door Winner), and Alan Yun (Sepet).

Crossings premieres on 1st October 2010 (Friday) @ 8.30pm, on ntv7 your home of feel good. If you missed the series, you can watch it again on www.ntv7.com.my or www.tonton.com.my :)

p/s: you can get the latest updates from the official Crossings twitter or ntv7's twitter too!

《书包太重》 My School Daze

我还记得读书时代最想逃避的不是上课, 而是带过重的书包去上课! 《书包太重》其实探讨了一些当下的教育问题,听起来虽说很严肃，但其实跟大众喜爱的《小孩不笨》一样的精彩、现实、感人。

故事讲述了资深老师谭向春（陈汉玮饰）、太太康巧珍（郭舒贤饰）、和麻辣老师张洛芸（瑞恩饰）身为教育者个别的教育法。谭老师从没想过要为了出位省级而教书，只会按部就班的做好本分，把学生教好就是他最好的收获。太太巧珍是一位刚离职的课本写作者。为了能掌握自己的时间，她决定开一间补习中心来教学生们中文，可惜她却不被其他的补习老师和家长看好。张老师呢是一位青春美貌、大受学生欢迎的老师。她善用花招来获取学生欢心，跟谭老师的教育法完全相反。

在怀才不遇的状况下，谭老师黯然离开母语教师的岗位，加入太太巧珍的邻里补习中心。原本想在教育界平步青云的张老师也在伤害了师生关系和升迁无望的情况下离职，加入巧珍的补习中心。张老师鼓吹精英教育，谭老师却坚持有教无类，结果张老师另起炉灶，成立只限精英的高档补习中心...

这部剧除了有陈汉玮、郭舒贤及瑞恩，还有曹国辉饰演弟弟谭向风、林明伦与许美珍饰演一对夫妇、陈天文、林梅娇等人参演。

《书包太重》会在9约7日起，每逢星期一至五傍晚六点正在 ntv7 开播。 ntv7在 Astro 频道 107 也能收看！

I still remember how the thing I would love to avoid the most in my school days were not the classes but bringing too heavy a bag to school! "My School Daze" talks about various current Education problems, though it might sound a bit heavy, it's actually very much like "I'm Not Stupid", an interesting, realistic and touching favourite among all.

The story revolves around a serious schoolteacher Tham XiangChun (Chen HanWei), his wife Kang QiaoZhen (Ann Kok), and vivacious schoolteacher Zhang LuoYun (Rui En) who are educators with very different teaching styles. Mr. Tham is someone who has never thought about teaching for the sake of being promoted. He only teaches to his best ability, with the students succeeding being his reward. His wife QiaoZhen used to write textbooks, until she decided to open a tuition centre teaching Chinese so she could have more time to herself and her family. Miss Zhang is a young and beautiful teacher who is well loved by all her students. Her way of teaching is to reward the students with various gifts, the exact opposite of how Mr. Tham teaches his students.

Although he's really talented, Mr. Tham missed various opportunities to perform in his position in school and he decides to leave, joining his wife in her tuition centre. The well loved Miss Zhang also incidentally ruined her teacher-student ties in school and resigned to join QiaoZhen's tuition centre. While Miss Zhang insists on teaching elite students, Mr. Tham believes that everyone should have an equal chance to learn. Miss Zhang then decides to leave and open her own elite tuition centre...

Other than Chen WeiHan, Ann Kok & Rui En, this drama also has Terence Cao as younger brother Tham XiangFeng, Darren Lim & Cynthia Koh as a couple, Chen TianWen, Lin MeiJiao, etc.

My School Daze will be airing on ntv7 from the 7th of September, Every Mondays to Fridays at 6pm. You can also watch ntv7 on Astro Channel 107.
