AS a kid, all I wanted to do was perform. I loved singing and dancing and one of my favourite TV programs was a variety show called Donny and Marie. Airing from 1976 to 1979, the show was hosted by siblings Donny and Marie Osmond. You’d have had to grow up in the mid-’70s to know why I was obsessed with the show.
I grew up in Johor Baru and back then if you lived in the southern part of Johor, you could get access to Singapore TV channels. As a kid this made a huge difference to my entertainment and social life! Local TV did not offer some of the programs I could enjoy on Singapore channels, back when the Internet, YouTube and Satellite TV were unheard of!
