Mint's FIRST Gor-Dai Style Hosting Show at Whampoa Market

The Whampoa Show was a HUGE SUCCESS!

I should've taken the crowd watching our show that day - stretched out of the tentage with more onlookers trying to squeeze in closer to catch a glimpse of what's going on.

Were all the Whampoa residents present that day?
It's highly possible.

FUN. FUN. FUN. FUN. FUN.
Hot. Unpredictable, LOL and just plain enjoying myself up there on stage!

This is my first getai-style hosting show which also required me to do role-playing.
Everything here was my first try and I'd definitely want to do it again!

First of all,
Thank you Gim Goh, my forever LupUDipDip Bro for tying up this special chance for me to take part in the co-hosting of this Whampoa Show.

Come, show you our camwhore pictures first:

The story of the Whampoa show
I played the daughter of the Main host, Lee Jian Han, who was trying to find me a husband. Gim played the role of my boyfriend (Ah Bean) and he was to seek my father's approval to marry me.  With the support from his 'friends' and 'family' (the performers) through singing and dancing, he finally got my father's approval and there was a happy ending to the show.

The entire 1.5hours of show was really funny, super singlish, engaging and there were plenty of bloopers to laugh about. I couldn't stop myself from laughing!


Prior to our actual show, we had our fair share of rehearsals at the Whampoa CC.

Thank you #ZeDreamGuy aka Minutemansg who turns up to watch ALL MY SHOWS/gigs/performances. It's the greatest support any girlfriend can get; your screaming, your love, your presence makes A LOT OF DIFFERENCE. *Much better than those who only know how to wait somewhere and sleep in his car. Uh-hem*

Never once have I regretted choosing to work for passion.
Work becomes fun, enjoyable, entertaining and worthwhile.

Doing what I love to do;
It starts with believing that I can.

Happy Monday!
