Yes people, Irene Ang = Rosie Phua in Singapore’s most watched local comedy Phua Chu Kang. And I am fortunate enough to be in her professional hosting class for the next ten Wednesdays. It feels good to be a student after so long.

For those of who you don’t know, Irene Ang started out as a host fifteen years ago. It was during one of her hosting gigs that she got discovered by MediaCorp. And not long after that, she clinched the leading role of Phua Chu Kang and became a local celebrity. Today, she is one of the most highly paid hosts in Singapore. She commands an hourly rate of minimum $2500/hr and very often, it goes as high as $10,000/hr. I know.. unbelievable!!!
