Throwback Thursday with Zoe Tay in Melbourne

Toggle was part of the entourage from start to finish: we got to breathe the same air, sleep under the same roof, and had equally early call times too – but that’s another story for another day.

For this week’s special ‘Dream Makers 2’ #throwbackthursday series, the spotlight is on two esteemed veterans in the TV industry – Zoe Tay and Li Nanxing, who despite their seniority, are the jovial “mood makers” on set in Melbourne.

There’s never a dull moment with them around. Nanxing’s a walking jukebox, who, when not crooning random Mandopop songs of yore – replete with cheesy dance moves from the 80s and 90s, is busy pranking on his co-stars. Zoe, on the other hand, displayed paparazzo-behaviour unseen and unheard of, as she hawks around the set with mobile phone in hand, ready to pounce on any photo and video opportunity of her co-stars.

Case in point: when poor ol’ Romeo was doused in iced water for a scene in the drama, guess who was standing directly opposite him, waiting to film the one-take-only scene on her phone? Answer: Zoe.

We also accidentally overheard Ah Jie nagging at her co-stars to “Snapchat as much as possible” to maximise their data bundle. True story.

on a business trip with Jeanette and I learned that she’s actually quite a foodie! I’m also quite a foodie so we have similar interests. We ordered up a storm [in Beijing] and we love to try different kinds of cuisines.

Ah Jie attempts to draw Singapore's city skyline (including the Merlion). Check out her doodle on the next page!
