Starting from October 2020, within a span of 6 months, I lost my cat and nearly lost my Dad to a heart attack, on top of all the Covid Chaos.
PHOTO: "Starting from October 2020, within a span of 6 months, I lost my cat and nearly lost my Dad to a heart attack, on top of all the Covid Chaos. I haven't lost my mind yet, though I came pretty near to it.

A long time ago, I was vehemently against the idea of having social media. I swore I would never start it for the sake of privacy. Then all the grief, loss and Covid happened, and I started thinking of mortality. I realized that if I looked back at the end of my life, a major regret would be having a platform but not using it to help others.

Perhaps for some, loss makes them more careful in their choices; for me it seems to be God's way of speaking to me.

Artiste Networks and I have amicably agreed to part ways. Am immensely grateful for the role Hype and Artiste Networks has played in my career. Hype discovered me, signed me and gave me opportunities. I will forever have gratitude for all that I've learnt and experienced during my time with them.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wilder seas
Where storms will show Your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.
-Sir Francis Drake 1577-

To wilder seas and finding stars.

After years of resistance, Rui En (瑞恩, Ruì ēn) has finally seen the light.

While other local — and older — celebrities have already moved on to TikTok, the 40-year-old local actress only set up her personal Instagram account at around noon today (Aug 5), and it looks like she's having way too much fun on the platform.

In the four hours since making her first post, she's dropped 14 Instagram Stories, with some of them showing her posing for the camera.

In her fourth Story, she said self-deprecatingly: "I obviously have no idea what I'm doing."

She then asked her supporters what they want to see in her Stories, and also shared a welcome video from local celebs Shaun Chen and Chantalle Ng.

In the short clip, Shaun, 42, teased her and laughingly said: "Wah this Rui En, you've finally arrived on social media and Instagram. Oh my god, this is wonderful! How old are you?"

Rui En added the caption: "Why this Shaun Chen so rude?! He older than me leh."

(By the way, Shaun is a pro at social media hor. It was previously reported that he engaged a content agency to plan and draft his social media posts.)

And two hours after her first post, Rui En posted a photo of a cat and added the caption: "Think I'm getting carried away by posting too many Stories. Someone may need to come physically remove my phone from me."

Her last Story was a photo of her looking unsmilingly at the camera. She captioned it: "Extra pic but this one very black face. Am gonna throw my phone into the toilet bowl now."

It's ok Rui En, we've looked at your 'black face' for years, no complaints.


I struggle SO much with living in the present, I basically just go straight to worst case scenario, and this has been an incredible reminder.

But jibes aside, her first post was on a sombre note. She started off by saying: "Starting from Oct 2020, within a span of six months, I lost my cat and nearly lost my Dad to a heart attack, on top of all the Covid chaos. I haven't lost my mind yet, though I came pretty near to it."

She added she used to be "vehemently against the idea" of being on social media, and would never start an account because she wanted to preserve her privacy. But she changed her mind.

"Then all the grief, loss and Covid happened, and I started thinking of mortality. I realised that if I looked back at the end of my life, a major regret would be having a platform but not using it to help others."

"I'll never forget meeting a Singaporean who had lived in the States for years, on our trip to NYC. She recognized my Gor and started chatting with us. Then because I was in a holiday mood, I offered to sing the National Anthem right there in Newark Airport for her (nobody know me there, can sing very loud). She said, 'Please don't, I'll cry.' She was already tearing. Then she said, 'Singapore will always be the best.'
You are. You truly are, Singapore.
I love you, always.

She didn't elaborate on how she intends to use her platform, which already has close to 17,000 followers within five hours.

She also dropped the bomb that she has left her talent management agency Artiste Networks — which she's been with since her showbiz debut at around 2001 — on amicable terms.

She ended the post with a quote from 16th century English explorer Sir Francis Drake about venturing on "wilder seas", which is also her Instagram handle.

Most of us would have learnt in school about what happened in Singapore during World War II, but with the devastating event happening more than a lifetime ago, it could feel too distant to relate.

For Rebecca Lim, starring in the new Channel 5 drama This Land Is Mine — set in 1940s post-war Singapore — meant tapping into childhood memories of the stories her late grandfather shared.

In an interview with AsiaOne during the press event for the show, the 34-year-old actress said she was brought up by her maternal grandparents, and they would pick her and her cousins up from primary school every day to bring them to their home.

They would play Chinese chess together, and while grandpa was usually a man of few words, he would occasionally recount his memories and experiences of the war.

"One of the stories he shared was that he was hit with the barrel of a gun by a Japanese soldier, which caused him to be deaf in one ear. What I learnt from his stories are not only of the misfortunes that happened to Singaporeans and our ancestors at that point in time, but also the victories and the strength they had, which are very inspiring for the people now," Rebecca said.

Rebecca's grandfather also told the young children stories about his family, how he was temporarily separated from them, how he had to survive, the unfortunate passing of his friends and neighbours, and having to scrimp on food.

He talked about the importance of food to the grandchildren, and Rebecca added she has never wasted food because of the values he instilled.

Grandma didn't speak much of the war to the kids as the horrors were probably still raw for her at that time, Rebecca added, although she talked about the racial riots that happened in Malaysia and Indonesia in the 1960s.

That period of time was also when Channel 8 telecast the drama The Price of Peace, set in Japanese-occupied Singapore during World War II, and the grandchildren watched the show together with the grandparents.

"There were quite a number of disturbing images and young kids probably didn't understand them. That was when my grandparents came in to share about their experiences and to put the images into reality," Rebecca said.

"I think the purpose of him sharing was so that we would appreciate what we have now, because it was so not easy for them during war-time."

She also explained that her perceptions of that dark period as a child and now are different.

"As a kid, I thought it was interesting, like, they really ate tapioca without sugar and coconut milk like we do now. But now, as I recall the stories my grandfather shared, I'm very grateful that he told us because this is his legacy, and these are stories that I would tell my children and grandchildren so that they will understand everything didn't come easy,
" said Rebecca.

"Singapore is a strong nation not because it just happened, it is like that because of the sacrifices of so many people. It's definitely something I will pass on to future generations, if I do have a kid, and to my niece. Sometimes, we take peace for granted."
