Eligible bachelorette CYNTHIA KOH on love, life and getting chatted up by married men.
In person, Cynthia Koh doesn’t look like she has aged a day since joining showbiz 25 years ago. When we meet the 43-year-old at the imaging session of the upcoming Ch 8 drama Life Less Ordinary (where she plays, gasp, Ian Fang’s single mother), the doe-eyed, fresh-faced Cynthia tells us, “My character goes through a lot of frustration in her marriage and falls to gambling addiction. She almost causes her son’s death and eventually runs away to Malaysia.” Okay, the actress has never been married — her last relationship was almost four years ago — but her love life is still full of ups and downs. “It’s not that I’m not ready [to settle down], but I have so many things on my plate now, it wouldn’t be fair to the person I date ’cos I don’t have time for him. It is really about time management, but I’m sure it will all fall into place eventually,” she explains. Hmm, true. After all, she is the towkay of gastrobar Mischief alongside fellow celebs Michelle Chong and Daniel Ong, and also runs other side businesses.
