She first surprised everyone with her sudden decision to leave
showbiz for an undergrad’s life back in 2010. Three years after her
departure from MediaCorp as full-time artiste and in yet another
surprise and unprecedented move, Felicia Chin says she will be
shelving her books and Bachelor of Business Administration degree
aside for a full return to showbiz.
No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you: Felicia’s back for
good, 24/7, as a full-time actress.
This piece of news came to light following an interview the
28-year-old just did with xinmsn about her decision to resume the
use of her original Chinese name (‘Chen Feng Ling’ instead of ‘Chen
Jing Xuan’) and return to acting.
“I made the decision to stop my studies and I thought about it for
some time, especially after my stint in Shanghai where I did my
internship,” she said. “After studying and doing this internship,
it only further strengthened my thoughts of really following my
passion -- acting.”
Aware of the possible backlash that might ensue over her decision –
especially after this piece of news goes out – the 2003 Star Search
female champion maintains that at the end of the day, she just
wants to be true to herself.
“Everyone has different priorities at different ages in their
lives. This is not a shortcut for me or for anyone, if you are
wondering about this decision I made.”
