Aw gained recognition as an upcoming actress in the long running (125-episode) 2003 drama, ''Holland Village'', in which she portrayed Mo Jing Jing, a simple, slightly absent-minded but kind-hearted girl. Recognition Aw's meteoric rise was evident in her reception of the Best Newcomer Award in 2002, and Best Actress nominations in the 2003 and 2004 Star Awards for her roles in ''Holland Village'' and ''A Child's Hope 2'' respectively.
