Thai-born TV host Pornsak Prajakwit, reputed for his cheery grin, admits: "I do cry a lot."
He's worked his way from a new migrant as a 10-year-old, not knowing a word of English and Mandarin.
As a Primary 4 pupil, he could not even recognise his own name when the teacher called it, as he only spoke Thai and Teochew then.
He started learning by lip-reading when his teachers spoke, and trying to reproduce the sounds on his own.
Through sheer hard work, he became effectively bilingual. After being talent-spotted by a senior MediaCorp executive, he went on to become a TV personality, before starting his own chain of Thai restaurants and a childhood education centre.
