Biography from TheMovieDB

Ya Hui was one of the hot favourites of Mediacorp’s talent scouting contest before winning the Miss Telegenic Award at Star Search 2007. She was offered a contract with Mediacorp and landed herself a prominent role in a long form drama “Love Blossoms” acting alongside Ivy Lee and Zheng Ge Ping, who were the winners for Best Actress and Best Actor at Mediacorp’s Star Awards. Her outstanding performance in the drama serial earned her nominations for the Newcomer Award of the Year in The New Paper Flame Awards 2008 and the Best Newcomer Award for Star Awards 2008.  Ya Hui’s passion for the performing arts started since she was young. Her love for dance saw her being in the Dance Team from Primary school all the way to Junior College. She was also involved in many volunteer work organized by her schools. One of the major projects was the Overseas Community Involvement Programme in Yunnan, China, in which she displayed not only a heart for service, but also the fortitude to undergo physical discomfort and manual labor.  Ya Hui did her first hosting in 2012 and was well liked by her young audience in a programme “Mat Yoyo”. In 2014, she was involved in a long form drama as a wanton mee seller, and was well received with viewers. This breakthrough landed herself with one of the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste Awards in Star Awards 2014.  A strong believer in giving back to society, Ya Hui has been actively supporting local charity organizations and she is the Singapore Red Cross Ambassador since 2017.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
