The film was later screened at the Singapore Short Film Festival '06.

Following her stint as lunchtime Producer/Presenter for a local station in '05, she moved to London and worked as a freelance researcher for the British Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) World Service Radio. With a deep passion for traveling, she went to Bandar Aceh for a volunteering project and produced a radio program about Boxing Day Tsunami. More recently in '09, she helped led a team of students from Positive Psychology Center to a Tsunami affected orphanage in Phuket, Thailand for a volunteering project.

A co-founder of World Harmony Day movement in '02, an event that calls for peace and gathering likeminded people together in the wake of September, G contributed to Beyond Social Services and co-directed the musical “Children for Cirque du Monde”. Whilst she was in the London, she helped out the event’s department at The Prince's Trust, a UK based charity own by the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles. Her community involvement efforts include being a show producer in a fund raising project for children's leprosy education fund from Tala, Philippines to getting a van for a leprosy colony in Kunming, China.

G enjoys playing the ukulele, tap dancing and doing Yoga in a 42 degree Celsius hot room sweating the stress out. She is thrilled to be part of the Travelogue team and hopes to stretch her appetite for adventure and exploration in China.
