"The best news anchor I've watched and listened to all these 50 years since Tan See Lai - Andy Young."
It was a chance meeting today encountering the sweetest lady from Singapore's top news channel. So it was a Hullo and, 'My wife and I watch you nightly on Channel 106 CNA's 10 pm news.'
Statuesque, Ms. Tan was in a resplendent red dress, one that suited her pleasant, strong but modest personality. She was looking lost and using her mobile phone but I couldn't help her to find her way since I was not familiar with Star Vista because the last time I visited the place it was to watch *Tony Bennett in 2013, about four years ago.
I met her outside the food court and we managed a Selfie together which she so willingly obliged. Yes, I was focusing at the control button of the iPhone rather than at the camera lens [image -right].
But she looks great don't you think?
Thank you, Ms. Tan.
The comment I made above on her Facebook on 2nd March 2017. This image is beautiful. The first thought that comes to mind, "Finally, the long-awaited side view of the Mona Lisa." And that's the truth.
Latest news from Dawn Tan:
"The main character of the documentary showed great courage agreeing to go on this journey to search for the truth with me about the collection of Chinese bronzes his father left to him. It remains my hope that in agreeing to tell the world, it has lightened his burden a little. I think we can all identify, even in a small way, with having a dream come true."
Bronze - A Forgotten Treasure.
According to Dawn, it's her first documentary as host, etc.
Congratulations.

...a nice shot Andy even though you appear to be a little nervous :)
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeleteYour comment on her pix is spot on.
ReplyDeleteWow you just conferred on her the title, "Mona Lisa of the East, Singapore." She must be very bewitchingly beautiful in your eyes... Intoxicated by her Mona Lisa smile??? How envious!

Hi Andy. Just notice that Dawn and yourself have knocked Peter Chua down to the second spot on TOP TEN POSTS OF THE WEEK. So in some ways, I wish you did not have the chance encounter... haha
ReplyDeleteCongrats Dawn and Andy !
All the best !
Cheers!
Yes it's true John. I was thinking about putting up the post on Dawn at a later date. Perhaps I should have done so. She is very very popular.
ReplyDeleteHer readers have amounted to nearly 600 in two days beating the whole month's top ten list by a wide margin.
Thanks to all readers on Facebook and blog who have written in.
Both John and I are glad everyone's reading about her.
Hello from Canada,
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely looking lady... Dawn TAN...
is she a Tan by birth or married to a Tan???
If the former, we could be related ..
after all, she's almost as lovely as I am !!!
(just kidding, Andy, a fine lady she is!!!)
NEARLY 1,000 VIEWERS IN A WEEK. THAT'S A RECORD.
ReplyDelete2,000 views already for this Dawn Tan Posting.
ReplyDeleteMan, she's a pop star, isn't she?
3,600 viewers to date. And the temperature's rising. And as I've explained on her Facebook post: "the only personality news piece that could beat Mahathir's."
ReplyDeleteCheers.
DAWN TAN carried off the TRUMP/KIM SUMMIT news announcements and interviews with the punch and panache nobody could have. Steve Lai was a great coordinator too during these sessions.
ReplyDeleteA truly dynamic duo.
Andy Young
ReplyDeleteYou and Simon Marks. Fantastic chemistry; truly admirable. And that red/black outfit, wifey says it just spells you - strong, charming, confident. All the best Dawn, keep warm and come home safe. If you see that Trump cap...😊Cheers.

Hi Dawn.
That's a great holiday you're having.
Enjoy.
I think we're missing you on CNA.
More fashion parade and hairdos than news nowadays but love Otelli E., Jill N. and Steve L. Cheers.

Andy Young hope you’re keeping well .
Covid situation improving in Singapore and a few other places.
Let’s hope for an accelerated global response so the world can put this pandemic behind us in a way that will likely mean globally being able to live with this and move on.
Andy Young
That's with the LORD's Blessings, Dawn.
Thanks for the chat.
Met a local university journalism student recently when she was interviewing me about this blog. She says that she wants to work at CNA and be like DAWN TAN.
