After the trip down memory lane, we ask Ann if she would choose to go back in time to do anything differently.
Her reply takes us by complete surprise.
“I wouldn’t be in the entertainment [industry],” she says with a laugh.
“I wouldn’t have become an actress at all. I’m not sure what I would’ve done instead, but I’m quite sure I wouldn’t be acting. I was never the person who had dreams of being a singer or actor, things just happened and I ended up in this line, that’s it,” she says.
She joined Star Search simply because she thought she would “maybe give it a try”. She didn’t expect to find success at all.
As for now, Ann, whose last Mediacorp drama was Healing Heroes (2022), is “taking one step at a time”, and not looking too far ahead. She will still take up a new role if she feels that it’s interesting and suitable for her.
