Renovation Rumble: The Yuwu‑Peh Home Get‑Together
It took them over a year to tame the construction chaos, but the pair’s dream nest is finally close to its final shape.
The Spark of a Story
- Rolling‑road journey: From holes in the roof to questionable paint choices, the duo lived through a full‑throttle remodel.
- Social‑media saga: Every progress pic made fans think they’d built a palace. “We’re basically on the building of the century,” Yuwu joked.
Joanne’s “Honesty” Outburst
In November, the 38‑year‑old actress blew a whistle on her contractors: “If the word starts with ‘con’, maybe that’s a sign… but why can’t we just have straight talk?” She even half‑joked, “Do I look like a carrot?”

Who’s at the Whack? – The Pandemic & Designers
- C‑19 chaos: COVID sputtered the schedule, adding delays to the already roller‑coaster plan.
- Designers vs. DIY: While most couples leave the interior design to the pros, Yuwu and Joanne insisted on hands‑on involvement.
- Problem‑solving grind: They encountered snags that demanded a patience test – “We didn’t compromise easily,” Yuwu admitted.
Why It’s All Worth It
Now that the work is nearly finished, Yuwu’s proud:
“I’m happy the house is close to what we envisioned. Joanne and I are persistent guns for exacting how we want our home.”
While the project took its toll, the couple’s strong spirit and mutual passion kept their dream on track.
Total Takeaway
- Renovation is a marathon, not sprint.
- Active participation beats “hand‑off” for those who want the exact look.
- Communication – no matter how foward‑looking, honesty still matters.
So there you have it: a story of challenges, patience, and a lot of second‑handed WeChat updates. Their home’s final look may soon be the “official” Instagram highlight reel that fans have been waiting for. Cheers to many more family moments in a home that everyone can brag about!
Yuwu’s dream kitchen
Yuwu Kicks Kitchen Dreams into High Gear
Yuwu, the local culinary enthusiast, just spilled the beans in an interview with The Business Times about his brand‑new, chef‑approved kitchen. He’s buzzing from the fresh prospects of whipping up Cantonese dishes like a pro in his own home.
Why this Kitchen is a Game Changer
- Learning to the Finish: He spent one‑and‑a‑half years mastering Cantonese cuisine at a renowned local restaurant before stealing the idea for his very own culinary station.
- Design Inspiration: “My kitchen’s vibe comes straight from the film Mr & Mrs Smith,” he chuckled. “I’m all about that stainless steel, hi‑tech feel—industrial chic with a cozy twist.”
- Design Team Work: The contrast between ‘industrial’ and ‘cozy’ seemed like a paradox at first, but the team pulled it off like a perfectly caramelized bun.
Reality Check: Renovation Timing
Despite his excitement, Yuwu is no stranger to renovation hiccups. He told Wanbao that the project hasn’t wrapped up by Christmas, which means no festive feast for Joanne and their two kiddos. “I can only hope we’ll move in before Chinese New Year,” he said, “so I can personally fire up the reunion dinner.”
And that’s the scoop—Yuwu is cooking up something pretty amazing, but the countdown to the ultimate family feast is still on the line.
