THE CANOEIST
Annabelle Ng 36, CoachSG Manager, SportSG
Same woman, same studio setting, but this time there's a baby bump as the former Southeast Asian (SEA) Games canoeist is partway through her second trimester with her first child. “Since taking part in that 2012 photoshoot, I have competed in the 2013 and 2015 SEA Games,” says Annabelle. “I was teaching as well but I’ve left that vocation completely and now work at Sport Singapore in coach development.” Retired as a competitive paddler after the Olympic qualifiers in 2015, Annabelle still keeps up an active lifestyle. “I still try to take a canoe out leisurely sometimes but these days I’ve taken to swimming, jogging and going to the gym more,” she shares. “Now it’s all about bringing up the next generation of paddlers!”
THE ACTRESS
Nurul Aini 37, Actress
The last time Lion Mums actress Nurul Aini took part in a photoshoot with us, she was a mother of two little children. “A lot has happened since then,” she says. “I filmed Lion Mums 2 and Lion Mums 3, I got pregnant again, had baby number three, moved to a new house and now I’ve got to lose weight.” A big advocate for taking care of oneself, Nurul also admits that time has been kind to her. “I’m very much proud of how far I’ve come over the past four years. I’ve been very blessed and I’m really happy where I am now,” says the celebrity mum. “I’m not that young anymore but I wanted to have another baby because in the past I’ve regretted not spending time with my children. I won’t be taking on any projects until next year when Lion Mums 4 starts filming!”
