1st Preview:Together 当我们同在一起 video here on this 60th Countdown Day
The video you have been so ‘kan-cheong’ to catch a glimpse is finally here at last! Be the first to watch it before millions of viewers get to see it on TV now.
Oh…and a special ‘当我们同在一起Together’ jotter book gift was specially created for the top advertisers and clients at the trade show today looking just like this:
This video was edited off whatever footages were made available to us (excluding scenes now being filmed in Malacca). You will see Dai Yang Tian, Elvin Ng, Jeanette Aw, Zhang Zhen Huan and Kola Zhou’s dramatic transformation, including Constance Song, Wang Yu Qing and Hong Hui Fang. It is quite a dramatic and intense video clip. Here’s the video link to watch it now: http://www.xin.sg/article.php?article=32419&st=dtl

The photo on the left is just a quick composite of the cast for the booklet distributed at the trade show today.
This was the ‘controversial’ photo which ‘inspired’ i-Weekly to make the claim that 欧萱 Jeanette Aw and 黄俊雄 Elvin Ng are ’downgraded’ to ‘supporting’ stars as they were seen positioned at the sides with Dai Yang Tian in the center.
Haha…this is taken too literally lah… 戴阳天 Dai Yang Tian is no doubt the drama’s 灵魂人物 but his story would only come through well involving and evolving with the others stars.
As you can see from the 1st video, every star is just as important to the success of a drama (even with a supporting role played by Constance Song). The real mega TV and Print campaign will roll out soon and you will see many different versions featuring all the stars.
Today marks ’Together’ 60th Countdown Day and 郭蕙雯 Eelyn Kok is the big star.
There will be 2 popular stars/singers chosen to sing the theme song and sub-theme song). Both songs are written by music guru 梁文福. The main theme is an emotional piece demanding a singer capable of evoking deep emotional depth in the vocal (guess which singer can make you cry simply by listening to the voice?) while the sub-theme is a ‘love-till-it-hurts’ ballad (guess which singer can make you feel the gentleness in the voice?). Both songs will most certainly shoot up on the 933 醉心龙虎榜 chart. I will blog about them in my next post tomorrow…
And of course, I will be blogging about the mega-all-star trade show event with photos and videos soon (gotta spend some time upload them lah…you think very easy ah…hehe)…

wow..GOSH..what a nice trailer..love it so much and is so looking forward to this drama..
btw, is there a spelling error for the little nyonya? it should be ‘nyonya’ instead of ‘nonya’?
(Paul: I prefer to spell it as Nyonya but some pple spell as Nonya)

Thanks Paul, the preview looks beautiful… I like the way this show was shot… The lightning…
The casts seem to be putting up a fine show. I feel very relieved now. I am looking forward to your post tomorrow.
Jiayou, Together!

Dear Paul
Thanks for the update.
I saw the clip, can’t wait the show to air.
anollec on 01 Oct 2009 at 12:32 pm #
Hi Paul
Wow! I was absolutely impressed by your Station’s ‘dramatic & intense’ video clip! It looked like a movie-trailer. I like the background music very much! After all the 60s Chinese music in all your past ‘Together’ countdown clips, this was indeed a refreshing change!
Thanks for sharing the jotter-book cover & the poster!
Looking forward to 30 Nov!
aha on 01 Oct 2009 at 12:37 pm #

oh btw, the link u provided doesn’t lead me to any video, paul. how?
Spicymac on 01 Oct 2009 at 2:05 pm #
If it’s local singers, the main theme would be sung by Weilian and the sub-theme by Joi Chua.
If it’s overseas singers, main theme would be by Aska Yang (OMS 1) and sub-theme by Fish Leong.
Just wild guesses, hope to see some surprises =D
yahooo on 01 Oct 2009 at 2:14 pm #
From the video, the dramatic transformation should be JA & ZZH in hostess & transvestite role respectively.
Kola Zhou very sweet looking.
Eelyn Kok look “too old” among the young casts, her smile is too exaggerating in the countdown video, can’t see her eyes only wrinkles & lines around her eyes.
joel on 01 Oct 2009 at 2:19 pm #
i hope Kit Chan is the singer. Liang Wen Fu + Kit Chan = smashing hit theme song!!!!
^^ on 01 Oct 2009 at 3:13 pm #
thank u, Paul! =)
and, the preview is really good! i do like the background music!
looking forward to TOGETHER!! =)

paul thanks soooooo much for the video!
it was amazing to say the least! not sure whether i’m being biased, but i totally love jeanette’s acting! her emoting, to me, is undoubtedly among the best in mediacorp! i really really hope that her talent and hard work gets recognised at the star awards next year
kudos as well to the rest of the cast!
from what i saw in the video, everyone has really put up a wonderful performance
that was really the driving force behind the little nyonya’s success – the hard work put in by everyone involved in the production, all working towards a common goal, namely, to make the show a success and as enjoyable as possible for the viewers
it may still be too early to speculate anything, but the early signs certainly point towards the right direction
Is ‘Together’ destined for greatness?
true on 01 Oct 2009 at 5:33 pm #
When will you be updating about the trade show. Hope to see a video of JA dance. And, together video looks awesome

Watch it already, YES it’s goin to be the big one.
Just dont like the arrangement of the actor/s on the picture, don’t feel something special.

Zenia on 01 Oct 2009 at 8:13 pm #
Fantastic show put up by 6. If I were to range the 6 just by this video, here goes..
1. Jeanette
2. Elvin
3. Zhang Zhen Huan
4. Kola
5. Dai Yang Tian
6. Eelyn totally fell flat.
That’s all. Fascinating video. Constance Song looked like how she was supposed to look like and she brought out a very evil sight which I think is going to earn her the Best Supporting Actress Award unless veteran Hong Hui Fang takes the baton at the last minute. Way to go people!

the video is really nice!
it loos like a movie trailer… cool
from the video, looks like everyone acting as improved… cant wait for the entire series to be shown =)

hmm maybe chen wei lian?
hahaa
Ron on 01 Oct 2009 at 9:21 pm #
ecstatc for dawn yeoh. she is making her way back on screen. together with pat mok, they were both “jie mei” for fann&chris wedding. now dawn will be performing in star charity. she is actually a very gorgeous lady. when i first saw her as the blind girl acting with pierre png, i thought she has a very very clear voice. she has the youth, bubbly and likeable smile. put her next to felicia chin, dawn yeoh will definitely outshine the former. if i’m not wrong, dawn can marginally make it into Top 10 female artiste in sa2010. keep giving her more and more exposure, especially dramas, if possible.
May on 01 Oct 2009 at 9:53 pm #
Nice video…storyline seem nice.
I feel touched when Ah Du, Joi Chua, Chen Wei lian and Teresa Tseng sing. So hope will be one of them.
ah B on 01 Oct 2009 at 10:36 pm #
I only heard Jeanette spoke one line.. I don’t know why, but I already look forward to watching her in Together. HMM. Not bad.
Shall not give negative comments until the show starts!
hehe on 01 Oct 2009 at 11:07 pm #
paul, so u will be sharing with us who will be singing for the theme and sub-theme song for ‘Together’ tomorrow? and do you know what show will be re-running at the weekend 7am timeslot? hope it will be a show that have the lovely onscreen couple 715 & JA…can answer my questions? thanks=)

(Paul: Everywhere lah)
leon on 02 Oct 2009 at 3:00 pm #
looking forward to the show, because of jeanette! I hope this show is just as nice, if not better than the little nyonya.
I wished fiona xie didn’t quit this show though… That role is SO suitable for her. Eelyn just has no appeal for me…
Anyway, I like the feel of the show. & I definitely think this show will propel zhang zhen huan and the other girl (the one besides eelyn and jeanette) to stardom. Elvin looks extremely good in this show too. But obviously jeanette aw remains as the star and the highlight, her acting just keeps getting better!
Go jeanette, supporting you (:
Gig on 02 Oct 2009 at 3:22 pm #
can’t wait to watch this drama,Jeanette the best
Callista on 02 Oct 2009 at 9:40 pm #
Let me touch on the bad ones first before I proceed on with the good ones. I will start off with Dai Yang Tian. Being the lead of leads, I think he is under-performing. Probably a role like that is too heavy and pressurizing for him. Should have awarded this role to Qi Yu Wu. When he shouted at Desmond Tan in the short clip, I cannot feel the anger in him. He just acted without expressing the expressions that he should express. He merely shouted the lines out. Horrible! Next is Elvin Ng. I think Mediacorp should give Qi Yu Wu or Tay Ping Hui his role. Elvin Ng cannot act, period. I think its extremely obvious and visible to everyone. I don’t know why but he just don’t have the punch of an artiste. When I look at him, yes, indeed he is hot. But he just don’t have give the viewers a feel that he should. Despite giving plenty of chances to shine, he fell flat and short. Totally no point intended but still.. you know. I can tell that he is trying his very best to improve though. I mean, this is a heavy role so I hope Mediacorp won’t gamble on such a risk in the upcoming produces which has not decided on the casts. Last but not least, Eelyn Kok. She looked horrendous. Her smile was out of place and all. She did not produce a very materialistic and seductive look which I believe she should have did so. Sometimes I wished Fiona had not pull out of the show because I believe she could have did ten times better than Eelyn. Eelyn is an artiste who is neither here nor there. Not too good and not too bad. So how? Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste, no for me. That’s all for the bad ones. The good ones now. I can see that Kola has tried her very best and she has seized this great opportunity given to her to shine. She’s gonna’ be the next big thing indeed, Paul. I hope the viewers will give her such a confirmation that she will need to pull this off well. Zhang Zhen Huan now. In The Ultimatum, his performance was extremely dull. But this time round having given a second chance, he has pulled up his socks and worked towards success. At first when I was informed by my friends that he was chosen, I wasn’t so happy because I thought he might have spoiled the entire show. But he just flipped the table around and thrashed the rest of the them in the show and live the show up like Kola and Jeanette. Well done! Last but not least for the good ones, Jeanette. She has been showing us that she has got what it takes since Holland Village. She was given a second chance to shine further more in The Little Nyonya and she has succeeded shone brightly. And after such a huge comeback from the danger zone, she is given a role in Together. Jeanette Aw is just becoming better and better. She is impressing the viewers. My mum did not like her initially but now, she loves her! She feels that she has got so much of potential like Fann. (My mother prefers Fann to Zoe that’s why I did not mention Zoe.) Jeanette Aw is trying her best to stay and the top and shine at the brightest by not falling. Well done Jeanette. The expression that she carried out at towards the end of the clip was very very i-m-p-r-e-s-s-i-v-e. If you have missed that out, check it out! Touching on the veterans now. Constance has definitely pulled this role out extremely well. I agree with Zenia above that she is going to earn herself the Best Supporting Actress Award. However, what’s yielding her is the strong and serious contender in Best Supporting Actress category, Hong Hui Fang and Xiang Yun. Hong Hui Fang was given a lot of chances to shine this year and I believe that if she shines in this role, she’s gonna’ make a huge comeback in her career. In terms of popularity. Xiang Yun is showing her capabilities now on Baby Bonus and she kind of carried it out well too. Most probably catching the last baton to the Best Supporting Actress is Hong Hui Fang. Such an aggressive competition going on between them. Best Actress Award, I’m going all out for Jeanette Aw this time. Serious contender of that category is Felicia Chin. Also representing Baby Bonus like Xiang Yun. Extremely exciting challenge next April, gotta’ tune in to the Star Award 2010 BIG TIME! Love you Mediacorp! <3

aiya, zenia or is it ah B or is it callista, all in one person? see through you, no need to write such a long story just to bring down eelyn and promote your felicia lah. pissed off!
may on 03 Oct 2009 at 7:18 am #
paul,
any up coming show the next for DYT…
(Paul: No…not yet…maybe 2nd half of 2010)
tanol on 04 Oct 2009 at 12:05 am #
callista,
it’s so obvious u r biased towards eelyn. very one-sided towards felicia. it won’t work.
anyway, the biggest judge is the audience, they will invest their money to call for their favourite artiste, as to who can make it to top 10 sa2010.
well, am saving $ for ann, dasmond, eelyn, jeannette and rui en. but i think jeannette and rui en have a bigger fan base. and ann and dasmond have been missing for a while. will try to invest 10% each for jeannette and rui en, followed by 25% each for ann and dasmond. 30% will be for eelyn, 1st-timer.
Callista on 04 Oct 2009 at 12:17 am #
I only stand for myself. Your imagination is really fertile, Ron. What I am stating down here are just facts. I am not going all out to promote Felicia alright? If you are pissed about me, passing such bad remarks at Eelyn, then just vote for her and make her go into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes next year! She will get the recognition that she “deserves” then. The problem over here is, she is not even in the nomination list! So how are you going to vote for her? How much are you going to go to show Singapore that Eelyn is such a wonderful actress? Tell me! Well, you just showed your true colours. If you hate Felicia, then jolly well don’t come to this blog. I am not the writer of this blog but still, she is popular. She is recognised by the people. Hate her for all you want because there is nothing you can do. She is famous, period. Go all the way you want to defame her, loser.
Jen on 04 Oct 2009 at 12:17 pm #
I’m agree with Callista about Jeanette’s part. Even my niece and nephew which is 6 and 4 year old also like Jeanette very much. They always call jeanette Yue Niang
. Still can’t pull of frm TLN,hahaha.
Ron on 04 Oct 2009 at 10:30 pm #
felicia famous? even dawn yeoh is more glamorous than her. let’s wait and see lor, if people are prepared to vote eelyn in, then let’s see who mdc will decide to nominate lor. btw, feli is not that good lah. looks plain jane. u can try to take a pic of jeannette, dawn yeoh, eelyn and her. see the effect. who will stand out who will not. am quite sure ja, dy and ek didn’t do anything to their eyes….not every 1st price winner of star search make it big time – look at ix shen, and the taiwanese guy who recently recorded an album. it’s people like ann kok, phyllis quek, christopher lee, chen hanwei, zhang yao dong, priscelia chan, yao wenlong etc, non-1st price winner who are doing so much better than their counterparts who are 1st price winner. so your felicia, who used to be 1st price winner in star search is no big deal, u got it? in terms of acting, she’s quite ahem…BAD.
Ron on 04 Oct 2009 at 10:35 pm #
basing on the shots, constance’s “huo gai” expression should be enough to win her the best supporting actress. keep up the good work cons!
goodness on 05 Oct 2009 at 7:15 am #
can tell the 2 female leads are older than the 2 male leads.
ah B on 05 Oct 2009 at 1:15 pm #
Callista, ignore Ron.
Ron, ignore Callista.
Resolved.
ah B on 05 Oct 2009 at 1:25 pm #
@ Ron
Make me laugh only. What’s your definition of doing nothing to your eyes?
Jean puts double eyelid tape and Eelyn wears pupil enlarging contact lenses.
If that’s fine with you, then you just gave yourself a slap in the face because the only thing that Fel did to her eyes is putting on double eyelid tape.
If Fel’s a plain jane, what’s left of the Eelyn Kok you so admire?
You seriously think Eelyn is famous right now? I mean, i have nothing against her. But you just irk me with your childish comments because it’s darn obvious that she’s not even close to popular now.
She will get her chance if she does well this end of year. So just stop your nonsensical bullshit about her being Ah-Jie and whatever delusional stuff you have been saying, all the while condemning Fel and Fiona.
Fel’s probably a million times for popular than Eelyn. But that is not because Eelyn isn’t popular. Only due to the fact that it’s not her time yet. Your jealousy for Fel’s popularity is so ridiculous it’s as though she offended you or what-not.
Just be realistic la. Do you even know that Eelyn didn’t make it for Top 20 ever?
To ah B (13:25:29) on 05 Oct 2009 at 3:41 pm #
How do you know that JA put double eyelid tape? You follow her?????????
Ron on 05 Oct 2009 at 6:10 pm #
haha, callista or is it ah B? good try. u r just so one-sided. without further ado, felicia is only 24 and eelyn is 30 what do u mean not her time yet. btw, it is not for you to say – have u got that much money to support felicia all the way to top 10? i’ll like to know. basically, u r just too naive. the real world is all about dollar and sense, your terminology of felicia’s popularity is perhaps totally so limited. i categorise her together with joanne peh, who are attention-seeking on stage with the press blah blah blah people i think including u get pissed off by people who are dying to snatch the attention from the other artiste it’s obvious, joanne peh is not the star in the yhim, but she is so kiasu..check out the video…i like chen lipin, i like yvonne lim, peixuan, pat mok etc, who do not “monopolize” the microphone. basically no matter what jp does, nobody is gonna be impressed. fiona is very much a princess, as what pornsak says, she saves her dignity. she leaves elegantly and at a climax. young punks like joanne peh and felicia chin got to learn from her. leave now before they are booo—-ed out. btw, spread out your vision, look at dawn yeoh, in so many photos of fann and chris wedding she is simply gorgeous. very much a star. jesseca although casually dressed exudes nonchalance. jeannette in a snake dance – so seductive yet so proper. eelyn in the trailer – seductive yet not unlikeable. rui en is elusive, she’s got class. ann is experienced and comfortable to watch. constance is great on screen, a veteran by now. pat mok so adorable, so close to heart. so, is there any more space for your felicia chin??? my dear? haha…keep trying…don’t give up. ..otherwise who will speak for her, dear?
Callista on 05 Oct 2009 at 7:19 pm #
Ron, you got to be kidding me man! Felicia, a plain jane? If you say that Felicia is a plain jane, what is Eelyn? Felicia is so much more popular than Eelyn. What does this goes to show? Who do the audiences like more? No doubts, Felicia. If you would like to do a reality check, ask yourself, who has been making it into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes and who has been the one that is not even nominated for it? You talk like you are the one who decides who makes it into the nomination list. You wanna’ see who Mediacorp nominates? We shall see at the end of this year. You just go around promoting Eelyn because you like her. Please, if she is famous, she won’t need this promotion from you. You say that I go all out to pull Eelyn’s popularity down. Do you have any evidence to back up your words? If no, you can jolly well shut your trap. I don’t even have the compare Dawn, Eelyn, Felicia and Jeanette because it has been clearly shown and it is recognised by the audiences the only Eelyn is not in our dear “7-Princesses”. Is there even a room for competition? Is there even a need to compare them furthermore? Is there? Ask yourself what are you talking about before you actually speak up. Because what you have been saying all this while is nothing but a whole load of crap! If you wanna’ be the one who lives up Eelyn, you might want to also consider slapping yourself in the face because you have just defamed her indirectly. Eelyn is a nice girl, no doubts about that too. I don’t think she is short of having such a barbaric fan like you. Did I even make a comparison of Felicia and Eelyn in the first place? I know that not every winner of Star Search will make it big. I don’t need you to remind me on that, mind you! I think no matter how much we debate over here, it is not going to help the person that we like to go into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes. If you want a competition, by all means. We will see whether the public is prepared to vote for Felicia or Eelyn. Let’s see by April next year, who makes it one hell for the other. WE SHALL SEE.
Callista on 05 Oct 2009 at 7:38 pm #
Ron, let me tell you. I’m not giving up. Neither do I see the need in giving up because there is no competition going on over here. You categorise Felicia and Joanne together-Attention seeking on stage. Do you have any idea that you have now offended not only Felicia’s fans but also Joanne’s fans? Your forte is to talk big. If you have no idea what your forte is, it is talking big. Yes, talking BIG! You can save crapping over here. I repeat, we shall see who the public is prepared to vote for into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes. Your dear Eelyn is going to suffer a glorious defeat because Felicia is going to get a hell lot of votes in next April. Why is there no space for Felicia when she is one of the “7-Princesses” when Eelyn is not? Look, Eelyn is 30 and Jeanette is also 30. Is there a good reason why Mediacorp did not promote Eelyn to be one of the “7-Princesses”? Well, clearly, it is not because of her age. Mediacorp nurtures actors and actresses with a lot of potential in terms of their acting skills and popularity. By all means, doubt Felicia’s. We will see, we will see who goes home with the awards next April. Mind you, you are giving Eelyn undue pressure by doing such a foolish thing-Initiating a fight on who is better, Eelyn or Felicia. Go on yakking all you want because we will see who gets the last laugh.
Ron on 05 Oct 2009 at 10:01 pm #
haha!!
Callista or is it zenia or is it ah B?? u all sound so alike. yes, i’m game for it. we shall see. felicia or eelyn. let mdc and the viewers decide. which star can get the audience to draw deep down into their pockets? we shall see, yah. u better keep your fingers crossed, lor…haha…thanks for the challenge! i’m ecstatic!! besides eelyn, ann kok and dawn yeoh should be in there too..hah..think u better go and “chong bia” – “knock your head against the wall”…haha..it’s getting really fun and i’m enjoying it…thanks paul for your blog. so, callista, zenia or is it ah B, which name will u use to reply this time??? one thing is for sure – u don’t feel “malu” but i do – for both u and felicia. that’s why she’s really boh liao one. maybe she go back the zoo, the animals there miss her liao! then u can write using the giraffe, the horse and the buffalo, won’t that be even more exciting, dear? three names by the same person? hahaha….. thanks for that joke, MAN!! cheerios!!
ah B on 06 Oct 2009 at 12:05 am #
@ Ron
I did not post as Callista nor did I post as Zenia. In fact, why is that even an argument? LOL?
I won’t stoop down to your level and post with different IGNs, i’m confident of getting my message across using just my own online name.
It’s so sad that you’re talking about dollars now. It’s like saying you’re the only supporter calling in for your idol. So you’re telling me your Eelyn isn’t popular but because you are willing to call for her that supports your delusional thinking that she will manage to get in by erm.. calls?
Looks like you don’t really know how SA works ^^
TO TO on 06 Oct 2009 at 4:29 pm #
Don’t misunderstand. I am not Callista or Ah B. I am just a passer by who read with glee more and more people’s comments who are turned off by Eelyn and her crazed fan.
I am not the only one who think they are nuts!
From the way they talk, Eeyln is like the Queen of Singapore, but really, right now, she is nothing much… Yawn. Yay!

paul, understand that people from the zoo are barbaric. why do fans of felicia seem so barbaric? beats me. looks like they spitting sputter when they couldn’t stand being embarrassed. actually, they should just let the rating decide lor. like nyonya did well, jeannette played a key role. housewives holiday did well, ann played a key role and my buddy did well, eelyn played a key role. it is a very objective measurement. why is this a firing squad or battleground?

It is difficult to describe eelyn’s smile in the trailer, especially when she tries to break into a smile. she looks a tad innocent and sweetly vain to seduce – don’t know if this is what the producer require her to do. saw in a trailer on youtube. she was holding dyt’s hand and running, hong huifang chasing. she really looks like an innocent young girl being led off to escape from her irate mum. the trailer which shows her spraying perfume on her neck with dyt behind her shows that she has a “nuaghty” smile but she has to exude some vanity. don’t know if this is the impact the producer is communicating. basing on the trailer, i think her character is a bit naughty, cheeky, vain but sweet and gullable at times. will have to watch it to find out more.

when are there coming to ipoh? where is their filming take place?
(Paul: You will hear about them when they go there lah…I also not sure as their schedules could change)

i feel amazed at how different eelyn has evolved yet again. from women of times to the shining star to love blossoms 1 to the peak to rhapsody in blue to the little nyonya to my school daze to my buddy. she seems to be ever changing in style and expressions. how does she manage the different feelings? studying? practisin? role-playing? i see a very different eelyn this time in together – is she that one lucky girl?
hi people on 09 Oct 2009 at 10:26 am #
I LIKE EELYN KOK VERY MUCH – she seems to be a very simple gal, unassuming – non-attention-grabbing sort but the attention just graciously lands on her. she seems to focus very much on her job so that feelings of the character overflows forth from her basing on how she interprets the role. it’s about interpretation. i like her because she is unassuming. not a “hyper” person or something who tries too hard – just honestly honing her skills. i don’t think anyone should be jealous of her growing popularity. she is 30, a prime age for a lady. in terms of thinking, acting and working attitude, human relationships, emotions, she should be at a very mature point. she rises slow and steady. when she accumulates experience and exposure this way, from supporting to lead, like xie shao guang in the past, it is actually appropriately healthy for her. she reaches a point which people can accept her well and people feel comfortable with her, whether she is acting good or villian roles, so she has so-called past the test of being liked even after repeatedly being villians. this is impressive. SO, FINAL ANALYSIS, EELYN CAN BE A LEAD ACTRESS FOR A LONG LONG TIME TO COME, not just three years. even when she reaches 36 or 37, she should still be very beautiful, in fact beautifully matured. the other 2 actresses worth mentioning are constance song and ong ai leng – their acting is fantastic – the only problem they are older and mdc may have to tailor-make certain lead roles for them separately.

the lady in the picture who is eelyn kok is very sweet-looking. i hope her acting is equally riveting. await the best results from her. hope to see more of her.
Callista on 09 Oct 2009 at 6:42 pm #
Wow, Eelyn is so popular in this blog! She must be really good huh?
April is the month where everyone of you who supports her in this blog will open your mouths wide and wait for a fly to fly into it because she has a very low chance of making it into the Top 10 Best Popular Female Artistes unlike Felicia. As usual, most of the princesses will get a place in it. Eelyn as Top 10 material? Maybe two years down the road when she really proves to everyone that she is a good actress and win the hearts of the people. This coming April, it’s a no-no.

Hello, which episode will Eelyn Kok appear? Is it episode 6 or starting from 11 onwards then she appear? Am I right? it seems that her role looks interesting:) She is a third lead in together:) Am I right?
(Paul: Eelyn is 2nd lead)
angie on 09 Oct 2009 at 11:22 pm #
it’s a pity so little is written about eelyn kok. she’s gorgeous. i hope she gets to appear often in the show, something like dyt and jeannette. i kept replaying her shots, those found on the you tube. really can’t seem to get enough of her. hi paul, do you have any idea what is her next show after together? would i be able to buy some sort of CDs by her?

Go Eelyn! You are gorgeous-looking and I believe that as long as your have tried your best, you will shine in the role given to you. Rock on Eelyn! You’re pretty. I will burn a hole in my pocket, JUST to make you get into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes. Will be hoping for a Best Actress Award from you next year too! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, J-O-K-E!

I AM ROOTING FOR EELYN KOK!!
Ray on 12 Oct 2009 at 5:15 pm #
may i send a message to all EPs?
dear EPs: do we feel a little unfair towards eelyn kok?
just a little bit of opinion, humbly. please receive it openly.
she’s kinda of poor gal, i personally feel she has the looks, height and persona to carry off a 1st lead non-villian role beautifully. but somehow, except for the one in my buddy, she always ended up being a villian. i like to see her move on from villian to something better. she has trully proven herself to deliver villian roles although it is never easy to do so. the chances are she will be “unliked”. despite this, she is still very much liked by many. but truly, if she has progressed and we all can see the improvement, isn’t it time and fair to render her something better? although i have no doubt she will again excel in playing this villianess role in together, can we have her play a heavier role of a person with better character in her next drama, which i hope to follow soon after the broadcast of together?
thanks..
TO TO on 13 Oct 2009 at 10:15 am #
Yeah, Paul, from the comments of the many “supporters” of Eelyn, suggest that you step down from your position and let Eelyn Kok take over ‘cos she is much, much better than you!
Hah hah

hi eelyn,
i really admire you for your courage to take on repeatedly without complaint villian after villian roles. your attitude is truly remarkable. i can see that you are happy in whatever role you are given, even one that is “left behind” by another person. yet, no matter what sort of ugly roles or characters you take on, you have touched the viewers’ heartS. that through the villian’s wrongdoings, we viewers learnt a lesson. thank you, eelyn that you are who you are and i truly love to watch all your shows, whether you are an angel or a devil in the show, because you help to portray precious lessons from it and teach one and all who watch not to do what the villians do. thanks thanks thanks for taking on those roles,,,,,,,,,,,EELYN KOK:)

hi eelyn,
u know i have something to tell u too. i know some artiste will receive birthday gifts etc, but my gift to u are words of encouragement..and i’ll be saving up about 20% of my savings to vote u in to Top 10 most popular female actress. is it ok with you? i hope u will appreciate my gifts of efforts for u more than if i give u actual little gifts that u have to find a place to put.
whether u r villian or not, you have an important place in my heart. of course, i will also plead with mediacorp to give u a 1st lead role of angelic character in your next show after together, which i hope mediacorp will not let me wait for too long.
cyc on 14 Oct 2009 at 6:17 pm #
oops..isn’t this guo hui wen? wow….she changes..metaphormosis…must be quite an exciting show, can see from the video…doesn’t she look so different from ruyi in “my buddy”? wow…so interesting to see what will happen to her character. heard she is acting as a villian again in this show? never mind, her sacrifice is noticeable. i really appreciate her willingness to act this sort of role. if everyone is an angel who will be the bad guy to create the excitement? 3 cheers for you, guo hui wen:)

hi eelyn,
since you seem to have gained much popularity over time, would you consider rejecting “nasty” roles or will you stick to be very “accepting” of “wicked” roles and assert yourself more to get “more favourable” roles like some others? is work attitude more important to you than getting favourable roles? personally i think you have the calibre to 1st lead a favourable role and even be an ah Jie. you are quite pretty like jeannette.
Dots on 16 Oct 2009 at 2:07 pm #
PLEASE LAH NN, DON’T ANYHOW LUMP JEANETTE AND EELYN TOGETHER. THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT ACTRESSES! COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN FACT! JEANETTE AW IS 10 TIMES BETTER! You are willing to spend 20% of you savings to vote Eelyn into the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes but its down to Mediacorp ultimately whether she will be even nominated for that Award anot. Haha, the minority acting like the majority. -Laughs
alice on 18 Oct 2009 at 9:50 pm #
i am definitely looking forward to this show. what a refreshing image eelyn kok is having here. i don’t understand why but even though she has acted in many many “bad” roles, i have developed a liking for her and her acting. just want to encourage her to keep up her good work. quite confident she will again live up to expectation.
