Zoe Tay’s Star‑Rated Night In the Face of Brobdingnagian Dad Duty
Picture this: Zoe Tay, 54, struts across the floor of the Star Awards on April 24 like a runway queen, all that fortune‑star‑shine she could muster, even though she barely got a single wink of sleep in the week leading up to it. How does she pull that off? It’s all in the family drama.
The Little Storm
- Brayden – 17, her eldest, suddenly starts showing cheeky little rashes and a sneaky fever.
- Nathan – 11, her youngest, joins the saga with a rash on his arms and a sensitive throat.
- Ashton – 14, the middle child, gets a little attention from Zoe, especially since her husband Philip is overseas.
“We were clueless at first,” Zoe admits in an interview with 8days. “We thought it might be dengue, but when the doctors ran the blood tests, it turned out to be something else entirely.”
Doctor‑Hopping Adventure
Brigham and Nathan streamed in, feverish, vomiting, with a nosebleed that even the most seasoned ‘dragon breath’ fighter would find alarming. A quick round of diagnostics, a dash through the ER, and the verdict: a mix of antibiotics and painkillers to keep the plot moving.
Starry Duties &’Dark Angels’
While Zoe tangoed with the tiny tornado at home, her career was also riding a wave. She’s presently filming the Chinese drama Dark Angels, a role that demands an edge of mystery and class. Coincidentally, this is her only major assignment in the days after the awards, giving her a chance to grab a few extra hours of bed—but only as long as her husband’s return time permits.
Wrap‑Up: A One‑Man, One‑Woman Superpower Display
When the night ends, the little battleground at home dissolves. Zoe steps back, respires, and, with the inevitable effort only a real superstar can handle, the awards glitter on the night’s detour. And hey — even after all that chaos, there are whispers: “Ah Jie finally has a chance to catch up on some beauty sleep.” Whether that’s true or not, at least Zoe’s mom‑hood feels unbeatable.
