THE RISE OF A STAR- JACELYN TAY  

First 2 paras of info are adapted from "www.mediacity.com.sg"( The present Eastciti ) and translated into English. 

GROWING UP:

Jacelyn is pictured here on her Mom's lap together with her sisters. Some interesting excerpts............She loved to hide under the bed and in cupboards......a brave little girl yah? not afraid of the dark...........And when other tots were all crying for their Mom on their first day in pre-school, Jacelyn thought" Why are they crying? Isn't school an interesting place?" An adventurous little girl, she was always delighted when the light bulb she was holding lit up brightly in those dark places that she was hiding in. Well, not only did she hide in cupboards, she climb onto them as well.......Out of mischief? Nah, to take a peep at a neighbour who was moving house. Guess what.....she fell from the bed and hurt her forehead..........Poor thing!

In Primary school, Jacelyn was a prefect. There was once when she and a fellow prefect played a prank on another prefect. Urm just now did I mention "non-mischief"? I guess you can't blame her for that coz that prefect deserves it for bossing around. I'm sure you'd done a lot of these things as well at that age...Or perhaps you're still doing it now! ( The prank- Hiding that girl's bag in a cupboard. To think that the principal was informed.......Finally all was resolved through the help of another prefect who "found" the bag)

SCHOOLDAYS:

Was a Rugby player at Cedar

2 Years as a CJCian, thereafter to NUS Arts Faculty.............

However she gave up her University studies coz of Star Search.............

And was crowned the winner!

 

AFTER STAR SEARCH........

Wasn't too smooth since she was always given "cool"/forgettable  roles because of her cool looks............The turn came later when she was given the role of "HE XIAN GU" in the "Legend of the Eight Immortals". She won the hearts of audience! More roles in shows  like " Are you my Brother?" , "Coup de Scorpion", "Voices Within" featured her as a bubbly, lively, easy-going.....gal. That perhaps shed her "Ice Queen image". RECENTLY, she played the role of "Invincible East" in "The Legendary Swordsman" as someone who lost his manhood for the sake of mastering a skill. Again she captivated the hearts of more audience as a cross-dresser. After all not many could bring out the "taste" in such a role. In this year's Star Awards, she is nominated as Best Actress for her role in The Legendary Swordsman.

RECENT YEARS ('98-'01)

Recent years saw her increase in popularity. She was voted one of the top 10 most popular actresses in the Yr2000 Star Awards. In her upcoming serial "Love me, Love me not", which will debut on 17 May 7pm, she will be singing the songs in it. (a solo one titled "Xiang Ta Bu Xiang Ta" and a duet with her co-star Chen Hanwei) Perhaps an album could be on the way.....
