While preparing for her graduation production in her final year at university ( before receiving an offer for the Honours Degree program ) , Aw and her friends also auditioned at theater companies . A friend told her that a company was looking for actors , and Aw only learnt that it was a television station after submitting her application . Joining '' Route to Glamour '' , a talent search organised in Singapore and Malaysia by the now defunct television network SPH MediaWorks in 2000 , Aw beat over 5000 applicants to emerge champion and signed on with the network . In her debut year , she was awarded " Best Performer " and " Best Newcomer " and co-starred in a Taiwanese television drama . Aw left SPH MediaWorks in early 2002 to complete her studies , joined Hype Records and then officially signed on as a Mediacorp artiste in May 2002 . She starred as Fan Keke in '' Beautiful Connection '' , the highest-rated Singapore drama in 2002 , and won the Best Newcomer award at Star Awards 2002 .
