Yvonne Lim’s Taiwan Bound Backpack
Picture this: a former Mediacorp star, her boyfriend‑turned‑rockstar husband, and two little “mini‑adventurers” marching out of Changi Airport, dressed head‑to‑toe in white gear that screams “We’re ready for quarantine.” No drama, just a family practice of the 20‑minute handshake GIF.
Who’s Coming Back?
- Yvonne Lim, 45, the woman who can juggle a script and a tiny crib.
- Alex Tien, 41, once a B.A.D. boy‑band superstar, now a “businessman” in the truest sense.
- AJ, 6, the junior “in‑vitro” student who’s already a master of online scrolling.
- Alexa, 4, who probably only knows one word—“Cough. Mask.”
They’d been sipping Singapore sunshine for two months, catching up with the local celebrity crew: Hong Huifang, Zheng Geping, Dennis Chew, Chen Hanwei, and the ever‑flawless Huang Biren. When the free‑time cap hit, they posted a friendly “group selfie” that turned into a full PPE photo‑shoot. Everyone look—each one wearing a visor, a mask, and a sincere “we’re ready” smile.
Big‑Ticket Quarantine Plan
Fast‑forward: they’re in a 14‑day hotel quarantine, followed by a mandatory seven‑day at‑home stop. Personally, the grand plan is simple: “Alex, you go back to Mars (aka the office). Kids, school starts—online style. Yvonne, you will be the TikTok commentator for the entire saga.”
Bonus Gift from Taiwan
How about a surprise from Taiwanese pop superstar Vivian Hsu? The 46‑year‑old sent a gift basket that could have doubled as a “post‑quarantine spa kit.” Think Lao Xie Zhen chicken essence and a bouquet that practically feels like a hug from the heavens.
Vivian’s message: “Miss you guys so much. Have a good rest. Waiting for you.” That line alone makes even the most stoic quarantine rules feel like a heartfelt sigh.
Bottom Line: Home Sweet Home
As Yvonne told her followers on Instagram Stories, her heart was full—she wrote, “Honestly it really feels great to be back home where I am most comfortable.” It’s the familiar rhythm of a family that knows the rhythms of the city, the taste of coffee, and the sound of a school bell. And no matter how many masks they wear, no one can mask the joy of going back home.
