Zoe Tay revisits almost 40 years of memories with Aileen Tan, from Star Search to mahjong
The veteran actress “travels” around Singapore via the MRT and bus to revisit memorable spots such as the old Caldecott Broadcast Centre and the previous World Trade Centre, where the first Star Search was held.
In an episode of CNA Insider's Meet Me There, veteran actress Zoe Tay set out on a journey to find her long-time friend Aileen Tan using public transportation. The former Star Search contestants had a friendship that spanned almost four decades, beginning in 1988. Tay, who had never used public transport before, took buses and the MRT to revisit meaningful places in Tan's life.
Despite her confidence that Tan would be at her home, where they often played mahjong, she was disappointed to find that she was not there. Other locations she visited included the former Caldecott Broadcast Centre, where they first met, and the HarbourFront Centre, where their 1988 Star Search finals took place. After nearly five hours of searching, Tay finally found Tan at the area around Ann Siang Hill, near Maxwell Road, where they had filmed Kid U Not together.
The actresses reminisced about their shared history and the memories they had created throughout the years.
