Sheila Twang: From Swipe Right to “WooSims”
Picture a sunny Saturday in Tanjong Beach, a chic club called FOC Sentosa, and a woman who could give any super‑model a run‑around. That’s Sheila Twang, the 33‑year‑old who just tied the knot with banker Deon Woo. But hold on—she’s not letting the wedding jitters spoil her glam. I’ll keep rocking my first name, but we’re officially the WooSims now!
How the Woo Scene Started
- Swipe‑to‑date: The pair first brushed shoulders on a dating app. “We’re both pulled by the pictures—obviously,” Sheila admits.
- No‑nerd‑chat rule: Usually, Sheila delays dropping her number until after a couple of months of back‑and‑forth chats. That night? She defied the rule and shared her digits with Deon.
- Drunk‑dial drama: Her first phone call included a few… questionable comments. She laughed it off, saying, “I almost ruined it that day.”
- Giant phone marathons: The next day, they spent 4–5 hours talking, and by the end of week five they met face‑to‑face. Because both were between gigs, they buzzed each other daily—unless traveling abroad.
Crazy Yet Romantic Proposal in Hokkaido
Fast‑forward six months, and in a snow‑blanket wonderland, Deon surprised Sheila with a ring. “I didn’t realize he was planning this,” she chuckles. “It was both goofy and totally romantic.” She calls the engagement “mad” to outsiders, but to her, it was a perfect fit.
Minimoon Madness and a European Dream
Sheila and Deon caked their honeymoon into a mini‑trip across Japan: a three‑day foodie tour in Tokyo followed by a five‑day snowboarding spree in Nozawa Onsen. The wedding—a star‑filled affair at Andaz Singapore—was a hit, but it left them craving a proper honeymoon. “We’re en route to Europe later this year,” Sheila says, winking at the promise of adventure.
Future Plans: Baby‑making, Drama‑filming, and Freedom
- Baby goals: “Kids are on the agenda,” Sheila shares. “At our age, we want to start sooner rather than later.”
- Acting schedule: While filming the Channel 8 drama Reach For The Skies (premiered April 2), Sheila’s character isn’t allowed to get pregnant until filming wraps in September.
- Balancing act: She says she “inspired by veteran actresses who juggle careers and kids.” “A child won’t overhaul my life,” she confides.
Personal Growth: From “Perfect” to “Flowing” Relationship
Her parents split when she was 12, and that taught her to avoid “perfect” expectations. “I now live beyond the ‘what ifs,’” Sheila explains. She says the biggest catalyst for happiness was her husband’s acceptance and her family’s belief that Deon was the one.
Key Couple Tips (and a Little Humor)
- Honest chats: She recommends fighting objektively, focusing on the true issue instead of dredging up past baggage.
- Small surprise surfs: Deon’s birthday – an unexpected dinner at Restaurant Andre with the whole clan. This year, a yacht bash is in the works.
- Tolerance is power: Sheila says knowing when to hold your tongue keeps drama at bay.
- Feelings over faults: The love, “the world” to Sheila, is the ultimate answer—whether for friends, family, work, or partners.
So here’s to Sheila Twang and Deon Woo: A fresh new couple name, a Spanish sundrop wedding, dreamy Japanese snacks, and a future that’s all about love, laughter, and maybe a little drama—born & thrust. Cheers to the WooSims!
