New Kids On The Block

I am not making reference to Marky Mark and the infamous boy-band NKOTB. The aforementioned rapper of the 1990’s pop band is, now, an Academy-award nominated actor. Mark Wahlberg has played the leading man in films like The Lovely Bones and Boogie Nights and is executive producer of the seven-season Entourage (which was based loosely on his early life as an actor in Hollywood).

Tonight on Channel U, 9.30pm, New Kids on The Block will feature a half-hour documentary and interview on professionals and their serious hobbies. Two hobbies will be featured on each episode. Joyce of the large and leading local cycling group, Joy Riders will be featured in the inaugural episode.

I will be interviewed and featured on Episode 2, on 21 July. Secondary school teacher, Soo Chan Hua will perform his card magic, while I will demonstrate sleight of hand magic with coins. Soo's students will also be featured for their ability to perform card magic, too. I hope that you will enjoy our short presentation of our passion – close-up magic. At the time of filming, I don't think the producers were aware of my pursuits in marathons and triathlons.

Triathlete S K Lim, a member of Triathlon Family Singapore who runs a few restaurants, was interviewed on Buffetlicious Episode 6 (Mediacorp 5). He owns and manages the Halal-certified Korean steamboat-BBQ buffet restaurant called Han River.
