You’ve just celebrated your second anniversary with a romantic Phuket getaway. What are the best moments of married life so far?
The best moments are not about grand gestures. They’re about having a thoughtful husband who puts my needs before his own, and could be as simple and wonderfully heartwarming as being welcomed home by Jeremy. He also looks after all the daily necessities so I don’t have to.
And the most frustrating, funniest or memorable bits?
Learning patience and understanding in order to accommodate each other’s needs and habits. For example, while I can’t wait to use a new product before the old one is finished, my husband will use it to the very end before discarding it.
The funniest moments?
They’re hard to pick out. There’s always something entertaining and funny everyday. Most memorable: when Jeremy won Best Comedy Performance at the 2018 Asian Academy Creative Awards. I remember being so excited, and proud of him.
How do you manage disagreements?
As long as the husband apologises first, everything is resolved! Haha. But, seriously, Jeremy always apologises first while I often forget why we disagreed in the first place.

TREASURE ISLAND
When plans to demolish the Merlion Tower on Sentosa were announced in 2019, some Singaporeans were sad to see one of the island's most iconic attractions go. After all, the quirky creature â with the head of a lion and the body of a fish â had been a significant part of their memories of Sentosa.The 37m-tall, 12-storey structure, completed in 1996 and designed by Australian sculptor James Martin, was a focal point for laser light shows and projections that transformed its ivory facade into a vibrant display of colours.The Merlion Tower was a popular attraction for families. Singaporean couple Anand and Vrunda Patel would often take their children there for outings. Vrunda, now 50, fondly recalls climbing the structure and admiring the views of Sentosa from the Merlion's mouth. âOutside the Merlion, there was a beautiful step garden with flowing water. I used to love walking there,â she shares.Years later, the statue, covered in dirt and grime, required a refresh. The demolition was not only part of a larger vision to connect Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) in the north to the three beaches (Palawan, Tanjong and Siloso) on the island's south, it was also the start of a massive rebranding project to transform Sentosa from a recreational family destination to a premier lifestyle attraction.Today, Sentosa Sensoryscape stands in its place. Set within a lush landscape, the 30,000 sqm attraction features a 350m-long connector that leads visitors to six sensory gardens â where they can explore the gardensâ massive vessel-like sculptures, observe the various flora and fauna inhabiting the space, and interact with Instagrammable light displays through an augmented reality app after nightfall.âTo attract younger visitors, our additional focus is on creating more authentic and immersive experiences, recognising that this demographic seeks deeper, more engaging interactions with the places they visit,â says Thien Kwee Eng, CEO, Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC).Just as Sensoryscape is designed to create an otherworldly atmosphere after dark, the Sentosa Night Mode campaign, launched in August, aims to introduce the island as a day-to-night destination for both locals and tourists, who would typically only make day trips to Sentosa. In addition to more nightlife events â such as the recent Waterbomb Festival, which saw about 10,000 revellers partying to a live K-pop line-up â the initiative includes extended operating hours at key attractions, along with street performances and dining promotions.Itâs a move that has boosted visitorship to the island, with total numbers reaching 16 million this year.âThis is a 20 per cent increase in the number of visitors as compared to the same period last year,â reveals Kwee Eng.
TAKING THE LEAP
Itâs 10 am on a Monday, and Gan Guoyi, 40, walks into Jigger & Pony with a set of dry-cleaned clothes â a picture of calm amid the aftermath of last nightâs chaos. The Singapore bar recently secured a spot in the Top 5 of The Worldâs 50 Best Bars 2024 list, announced in Madrid on Oct 23. To celebrate, she threw a three-night promotion from Nov 10, where customers enjoyed five premium cocktails for just $5 each at select bars like Gibson, Live Twice, Sugarhall, Como Pony Jakarta, and Jigger & Pony.Naturally, the event was a hit, and Guoyi, who was manning the guest list at Sugarhall, only managed a few hours of sleep the night before. Still, she arrives promptly to our photo shoot without complaints.
