Birthplace:
Singapore
Xixi debuted at the age of seven after she emerged as winner from a Children Singing Competition hosted by Mediacorp TV Singapore. She released two solo albums in 1996 & 1998, thereafter she took a break from the entertainment scene to focus on her studies. In 2011, Xixi nailed her first television drama role on Mediacorp Channel 8 Mandarin drama “The Oath”, kickstarting her full-time acting career. With her positive and enthusiastic character, she has earned herself various roles in Mediacorp’s Channel 8 and Toggle original series drama. XiXi is very versatile and can play many different roles and characters with broad age range – from a Grandmother role in Okto’s Children Sitcom “Upside Down Café” to a Mukbang host in the recent Channel 8’s mandarin drama “My One in a Million”. In 2018, Xixi filmed for Singapore movie “Fat Hope”, where she acted alongside with Taiwan Singer-Actor, Alien Huang, as siblings. Later that year, she clinched her first English Web-series, Girl Band Called Girl Band, produced by Clicknetwork. She was then spotted by celebrity model and artiste management Basic Models Management, and since then have been groomed to become the new plus-size female personality. In 2019, Xixi was awarded with her first commercial for Bifesta, featuring together with celebrity model Fiona Fussi. She is now a regular face spotted in the local media and fashion scene.
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:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
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.
