20年前,我到了台灣,打算來這裡6個月。。。 剛來的那個時候也是剛剛9/11,美國被攻擊。不用說,從那以後發生了很多事情。20 years ago today, I arrived in Taiwan, expecting to stay here for 6 months…. It was also right when the World Trade Center was attacked. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then.
21歲的我,來台灣當實習醫生救護人員。 我在醫院跟消防隊實習,夢想是可以跟國際醫療團飛來飛去幫忙。 At 21 years old, I came to Taiwan to intern at the hospital and fire department, working as an EMT and getting ready for medical school. My dream was to work as a doctor with Doctors without Borders.
快要離開的時候,有人問我要不要拍一個內衣廣告。 我心理想了兩件事:“好cool喔!“ 跟 ”這個一定是詐騙吧!“ 沒想到,拍完這個廣告只是一個人生新的開始。一個有趣的新工作,包含了主持人,演員, 小提琴表演者,作家,製作人,演說家。 Just before I was to leave Taiwan, somebody asked me if I would be interested in auditioning for an underwear commercial. I thought “Oooh this could be fun!” and simultaneously, “I think I’m being scammed.” Turns out, it was the beginning of a very interesting new career as a travel show host, actor, professional violinist, writer, producer and motivational speaker.
20年在台灣, 我的人生的一半, 從在紅毯旁邊的醫療站救護人員到今年入圍最佳女配角,然後要走紅毯。我在這裡也剛好認識了我的好多的“老公”, 跟其中一位在台灣生了兩個兒子。20 years in Taiwan - I’ve gone from working the first aid station at the red carpet to now, this year, nominated for Best Supporting Actress and walking the red carpet. I met my many (on and off screen) husbands George, 黃尚禾,and 王識賢 and hopefully more (真可惜不是都是真真的老公哈哈) here. I started a family of two boys with one of them. 😂😂 @instageorgey
這幾年,我認識了好多好多影響,啟發、支持我的人。我也到處跟好多人拍了N張照片。 如果你剛好有, 可以跟我們分享嗎? Tag我,然後也分享這張照片哪裡拍的, 什麼狀況拍的。 我想跟大家回顧這些美好的回憶!Over the past 20 years, I have met countless people who have influenced me, inspired me and supported me. I have taken thousands of photos with people I’ve met along the way - if you have taken a photo with me, please share with me here!!! Post it, tag me, tell me about this photo, where it was taken, what happened when we took that photo, etc. I want to relive some of these awesome memories and moments of my time here so far!
THANK YOU and to many many many more years, experiences and friendships!

【被男客人逗笑記】
MY HUMOUROUS MALE CLIENTS
不知是不是物以類聚,人以群分的關係,原來我的客人也蠻幽默的。
事件一:
男客人:「老師!哇,你真人的臉比較小,在螢幕上看你的臉是比較大的!」
我抬頭看著男客人。
「你今天來,是幫我看相的嗎?」
•
事件二:
我:「X先生,之前我這樣對你,是因為⋯⋯」
男客人一臉殷勤的說:「沒事,師父!你不用解釋,我都明白!我見過很多高人,高人高人一等,所以性格上都是有點奇怪,有些怪癖的!」
欸,不對,這是對我的讚譽嗎?怎麼聽起來怪怪的?🤨
•
事件三:
我站在餐廳外,等老公結帳。
突然,一把聲音:「李老師!」
我轉過頭,欸,一家大小,是不熟悉的臉孔,應該是影片的觀眾吧!
帶著口罩都能被認出,對方真是好眼力。
我立刻現出「空姐式的微笑」,並打招呼。#反應快
男士告訴我,他很想請我到他家看風水。我點頭說,可以等報名表開放時報名。
之後⋯⋯
他眼睛就一直盯著我的雙眸看,再三的問:
「老師,你⋯⋯看得到,對嗎?」
我心裡的OS:我今天戴著隱形眼鏡,看你們一家人的樣子很清楚。我們第一次見面,我沒有認錯,我視力沒問題啊~
所以我很自然的點頭:「看到啊!」
男士保持著禮貌的距離,頭繼續往前,目不轉睛的研究著我的眼睛,喃喃自語:「我看老師的眼睛,是看得到的。」
然後,彷彿得到答案後,男士臉上才露出滿意的笑容。
看著他的表情,心裡覺得有點莫名其妙。
我只是因為以前用錯眼霜,眼袋那裡長了很多油泡而已,眼睛沒什麼問題啊~
告別後,我站在電動扶梯上,腦袋好像被五雷轟頂似後,我才猛然驚覺⋯⋯🤯
原來他剛才是在問,我到底是不是開了天眼,能否看到無形的朋友!

I wonder whether it’s because of the theory “Birds of the same feather flock together”. I realise a number of my clients do have a funny bone in them.
Incident 1:
Male client, “Wow, Teacher! Your face in person is smaller! Your face look bigger on screen!”
I raised my head to look at him.
Me, “Are you here today to do face reading for me?”
•
Incident 2:
Me, “Mr X, I treated you that way earlier on, because ⋯”
Male client earnestly chirped, “No worries, Master! You don’t have to explain. I totally understand. I have met many expert masters. Being superior experts, they are all eccentric in their own ways and all have some quirks!”
Erm, is this a compliment for me? Why does it sound weird somehow? 🤨
•
Incident 3:
I was waiting outside the restaurant for the husband to settle the bill.
Out of the blue, I heard a voice, “Teacher Lee!”
I turned my head around and saw a family of unfamiliar faces. They must be viewers of my videos, I thought.
I was mildly surprised to be recognized with my mask on. They sure have good eyesight.
I flashed my signature SQ smile at them and greeted them. #quickreaction
The man of the family told me that he wished to invite me to his home for a Feng Shui audit. I nodded my head and told him to register when my forms opened.
And then…
His eyes fixated on mine, and asked repeatedly,
“Teacher, you…can see, right?”
The OS inside my mind started racing. I was wearing contact lenses and I had no problem seeing your faces. I was pretty sure that today was our first time meeting. There was no issue with my eyes.
So I naturally nodded my head and replied, “Yes, I can see!”
He kept a polite distance but his head inched forward a teeny bit, with his eyes relentlessly exploring mine.
He then mumbled, “I see that Teacher’s eyes are able to see.”
His face began to smile, as if his exploration had gotten him a satisfactory answer.
Looking at his expression, I felt baffled.
I only had many milia seeds under my eyes due to using the wrong eye cream in my youth, but apart from that, my eyes are perfectly fine.
After bidding farewell, as I took the escalator, my brain lit up as if it was struck by the five thunders.
I suddenly realised…
The male viewer was asking if I had the clairvoyant eye and could see the invisible!

Ning Ning having some colouring fun, one of her favourite activities at the moment. 🖍
@joshandcheriebooks recently launched their Colouroo Search and Colour Mats. Thanks for sending these over for Ning Ning to try it out!
I love sustainable products like this, reusable and friendly for our environment and safe for our little ones as it’s FDA-approved. It’s pretty fuss free too.
Simply wipe it off with wet wipes or wet tissue papers, works well on both the mat and on Ning Ning’s hands too. Other than colouring, which is a great activity for recognising colours and using their creativity with the mix and match of colours, I also like the search and count concept. What a smart idea!!💡
This Coloroo mat is also good on the go. Simply roll it out and we can use this as a mat and can keep Ning Ning occupied during dining out. No need screen time while eating 👏🏻
Go check them out at @joshandcheriebooks, they are currently having a launch promo till 3 Sep with 15% off all Colouroo mats. Don’t miss it, Ning Ning is already eyeing the Under The Sea series as she likes the jelly fish. 😆

Using the special lure modules at a spot with 4 Pokestops, I wanted to see what I will get out of using each one of them for an entire day. This is the result after catching Pokemon using the lure modules for 24 hours straight.

After powering up some Pokemon to the max level of level 50, I decided to try them out in the Great League in Go Battle League as their CP still allows them to still compete in the Great League.

The M.E. Series (The Millennial Experience). Created all on Mobile with #iPhone12ProMax
Weekend. Raining. Work had been hectic. Needed to take some time off to recharge. Covid. WFH. Blurred lines between work and personal time. No time to shut off from work completely. Found myself working from screens to screen. Laptop to phone. Even leisure is watching videos online.
In need of time for a digital detox.
Found a bookstore that was opened in Feb this year, in the heart of Orchard Road, Wheelock Place. Where the Borders flagship used to be. If you know what I’m talking about, you’re from my time. I recall the times when I was still in secondary school, hanging at Borders with my friends who love reading, and I will be there checking out the CDs.
Heard that it has a 2 storey space with a cafe and gallery as well. Heard that the ones in China open 24hours, although it’s not happening in SG yet
——
Zall Bookstore, an outlet with more than 30,000 books mostly in Chinese, also has a cafe and art gallery
——
“Ms Laura Yan Ge, 24, who is general manager of the Singapore store, said at a media preview on Friday that while the company did not anticipate the coronavirus outbreak erupting amid its expansion, it believes bookstores are especially vital during a pandemic.
‘Because of Covid-19, there is a lot of distance between people nowadays," she said in Mandarin. "We believe books will help to close this gap. They provide food for thought and people can use them to widen their worlds.’”

As a creator myself, I need to constantly find inspiration.
While I can readily find all sorts of information online, sometimes I found my mind being constantly overloaded instead. We read. Socialise. We basically live most parts of our lives in the virtual world, and now we have lesser and lesser reasons to get out there anymore.
So, why a new book store? When was the last time you visited a book store?
Being here made me realised that it’s not about the books. It’s about the space. It’s about the experience. It’s about being here and being present. And what happens when you unplug from the internet and be present in the moment? You’ll get involuntarily intrigued by the surroundings, the people, the architecture, the noise, the beauty of it all. You’ll find headspace. You’ll find your inspiration. You’ll even find a new you.
When was the last time you stepped outside, set aside time just for yourself, and experience life beyond the screen?
