Dentist? Singer? A dual role

Since Alfred completed his undergraduate dental studies, he has been trying to strike a balance between singing and dental practice. Alfred always has to struggle between a hectic schedule of singing jobs and the stringent demands of dentistry. On one hand, Alfred hopes to serve his patients well; on the other hand, he hopes to fully exploit his talent in singing.

A qualified dentist cum artiste as he is, Alfred has no airs and graces. “I like to go shopping”, he says. “I have no hard feelings travelling on buses or the MTR. I also enjoy getting together with classmates and friends for dinner parties, just like everybody else does.”.

Eat right and exercise to maintain a balanced life

To keep his body in good shape, Alfred has given up snacking. He says, “Too much snacking would give me excess weight. Snacks would also give me acne and dry up my voice.” In this photo session, he sips at a bottle of luohanguo (grosvenor momordicae) tea throughout. What a smart idea it is, to soothe one's throat with a natural beverage instead of sugary soft drinks!

Alfred is a “sunshine boy” and is very fond of football and badminton. He still plays badminton occasionally with his friends from showbiz. When he is too busy to play badminton, he works out on his personal treadmill at home.
