Before reuniting on the set of Jack’s The King of Musang King, which aired during Chinese New Year in January this year, it had been 13 years since the trio got together to work on a project.
However, when seated in the same room, it was clear as day that their bond remains as steadfast as ever. As Mark put it: “The chemistry is still there”.
We would be lying if we said we weren’t expecting something hilarious when we posed this question to the three of them: “If your ‘money no enough’, which of your other two cast mates would you approach to ask for a loan?”
Without missing a beat, Mark quipped: “No lah they very poor one. I won’t call them. But if I had to choose one, it’ll be Henry. Jack has lots of instalments to pay. Henry doesn’t, so of course I’ll call him lah.”
Henry immediately extended his arms dramatically and announced: “Welcome to my storeroom.”
See, they lived up to our expectations.
Mark continued: “He’s got a lot of extra money you know, he goes to Taobao to buy all the rubbish! He doesn’t even know what he buys. If he has a cash register in his storeroom, he can start a business there. Can you imagine he stays in a HDB flat, but he bought the kind of industrial saw people use to make furniture?”
As Henry started to tell us he “likes making things”, Mark interjected with: “He likes to make noise! (And) disturb his neighbours!”
Another of Henry’s impulse purchases? A small tabletop air conditioner which cost him “50 to 60 dollars”.
It was one of his most regrettable buys as it did not work as advertised.
According to Mark, “A fan is colder than the air-con”.
“I used to be an air-con (technician) leh. I still believed the air con could work (despite it being) so small. How stupid am I? I go and buy, I turn it on, it’s a heater,” Henry complained.
Despite being “scolded” by Mark for making the useless purchase, Henry revealed he still spends “S$1,000 a month buying things online”.
He then asked his assistant to bring him his latest gadget, a pen-sized acupoint massager, so he could show us how it worked.
“This is for massage. I see people using it so I bought it lor. My eyes kept twitching, so this is supposed to help with it,” said Henry, pressing the massage pen against his neck.
While we can see Henry’s head vibrating, Mark told us: “Actually his eyes are still twitching now, but his head is shaking, so you can’t tell.”
Jack added: “He’s easy to cheat, as long as you bring out the funny gadgets.”
And that was the hardest we ever laughed during an interview.
