Everything was as normal except this was the first show I was going to film. I felt butterflies in my stomach as I walked towards the biulding, named 'Mediacorp'. I had watched breath-taking shows aired by Mediacorp Studoius but never imagined that it was going to be my turn on television. I straightened my poisture and continued walking.
Not long after, I saw a mini-bus, with crews, photographer, hair-dresser. The director waved and instructed me to come over quickly for the making-up. "Give a good impression." I kept reminding myself. Soon, I was setteled doen after changing into a set of sponsored clothes for the make-up. I smiled into the 'attracting' mirror before imaginning myself on television.

Both of us, actors were relieved as we need not replay the scene. Tourists, locals and passres-by stopped their paces and stared at us during the filming and chatted among themselves.
All of the crew, including the director rested for a while before unpacking and moving onto the other location. I was again ushered out into the 'hell'. which is the putside of Changi Airport and to our van. Soon, the fast-handed crews had finished their 'tasks' and climbed onto the van for another upcoming 'task'.
