Local drama Come Closer starts with a chase scene. You see actress Lim Shi-An breathlessly running through the forest, with actor-director T. Suriavelan in hot pursuit, a car abandoned on the road, before it cuts to the sombre opening credits. The thriller, directed by K. Rajagopal (A Yellow Bird), is set in the 1980s and follows Siva (Suriavelan), the chauffeur.
She's an actress, a film producer and runs her own patisserie but there's a similarity between all these roles to Jeanette Aw. In a recent interview with AsiaOne, the 44-year-old said: "They share something in common creating a story. It's an extension of myself, expressing a different aspect of myself in different ways.

A gorilla sat on a blanket on a secluded grassy patch in an enclosure at the Los Angeles Zoo and calmly munched lettuce leaves. It appeared to be a perfect socially distanced activity for a bright and sunny Tuesday afternoon.
Onlookers gathered for their own pandemic-friendly excursions. The zoo had re-reopened that morning after shuttering Dec. 7 for the second time amid the COVID-19 pandemic and attendees were eager to see the animals. Many were eager just to be doing something, anything, outside their homes.
The gorilla paused his picnic to look back at the small crowd, the first “fans” he’d seen in just over two months. From the other side of the enclosure, Riley Hampsten, 5, of Lancaster, exclaimed, “Hey, I’m looking at you, and you’re looking at me, and you’re funny.”
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park gorillas who tested positive for COVID-19 in January have now fully recovered from the virus, officials said. Some of our spaces are closed, like our indoor lair building, the carousel, our play park, spaces that are difficult to keep safe and sanitary and then our outdoor dining is limited, 25% capacity and then indoor retail also has limited capacity, said Denise Verret, the zoo s CEO and director .
Although it s not the same experience, guests are happy to be one step closer to some kind of normalcy. As long as everybody s smart and follows the CDC rules for health you know, get through it, said Brian Kernan, a Burbank resident.
