Re-employed by Mediacorp after the merger , he went on to appear in Chinese dramas on Mediacorp Channel 8 , such as the blockbuster drama '' Portrait of Home ( 同心圆 ) '' in 2005 . His portrayal of the eccentric Dadi earned him a Best Actor nomination in Star Awards 2005 . He achieved this accolade despite the fact that he is much more comfortable speaking in English than in Mandarin ( something many English-speaking Singaporeans can relate to ) . Indeed , he admitted he had much difficulty acting in the show . He even describes himself as a ' kentang ' , a Malay term , to describe someone who is very Westernised
