Award-winning actress Emily Chan reveals the complex love and hate relationship she has with her chosen career. — Sunpix by Masry Che AniAward-winning actress Emily Chan reveals the complex love and hate relationship she has with her chosen career.“I had my first [taste of acting] at the age of 19 when I was cast as an extra, and at that time, I hadn’t the slightest clue of what acting really is about,” the 28-year-old lass recalls.

Call it beginner’s luck, but her efforts struck a chord with TV directors, who recognised her talent and burning passion. “In this industry, your talent will decide your fate, then comes ‘how hard are you going to work for it’. However, it also comes with a little bit of a gamble with luck, which I think includes how lovable and how presentable you are to the audience.”“I’ve never participated in a period drama prior to this.is set in the 1940s, so I had to learn how to talk using certain words that are from that time. To essentially put myself in that situation, and think how would a woman act.

“There is a stark contrast [in how I am today] to how I was when I first started; the realisation that my dream of becoming an actress finally came true, in which I really enjoyed every single aspect of it. But somehow along the way, I realised my life revolves mostly around my occupation. I hardly have spare time for myself.
