Michelle Chong walks down the aisle of a chapel but jilts bridegroom Seow Ee Meng at the altar!

Sunrays shine through stained glass windows in a cosy chapel. Beautiful bride Michelle Chong walks down the aisle in a gorgeous wedding dress, her groom Seow Ee Meng waiting for her at the altar, brimming with happiness and gasp, she throws up!

Fear and reluctance overwhelms the commitment-phobic bride and she runs out of the chapel, and the director yells ‘Cut!’

All in a day’s work for new drama The Tai-Chi Lass (Qing Lai Yun Zhuan), where Michelle plays Mei Ya, the runaway bride and Ee Meng as Paul, the jilted fiancé.

Joining them at the chapel are Jeanette Aw, who plays Mei Ya’s good friend Li Xiang, and Allan Wu, who plays Paul’s friend, the celebrity chef JK Ma.

Every little girl’s dream is to one day put on a beautiful wedding gown. What about models and actresses? We speak to Michelle and Jeanette about THE white dress and getting hitched.

Michelle Chong

Mei Ya is the head chef in a high-class restaurant. Animosity brews between Mei Ya and JK Ma when the latter is invited to the restaurant to work as a guest head chef. From enemies, JK Ma slowly falls in love with her. But will Mei Ya agree to walk down the aisle the second time?

Why does Mei Ya have the wedding jitters? Let’s have Michelle tell you that and more!

Expect more than acting from the versatile Michelle though. When the soundman needs more whispering from the extras for particular scenes, the playful Michelle gamely steps in with different accents!

Jeanette Aw

Jeanette Aw is Li Xiang, a young tai-chi master with the unfortunate problem of body odour. The man of her dreams is JK Ma (Allan Wu) whom she saves from some unruly rascals with her tai-chi.

Youthful Jeanette has played swinging singles in Beautiful Connection, A Child’s Hope II, Spice Siblings and The Champion, with the exception of Holland V where her character Jingjing was married to Ah Ming.

The Tai-Chi Lass will continue filming till Mid November. Watch for it next year!
