'It started off as more of a joke,' Wang shared. 'Then all of a sudden, all these developers started contacting me, and they actually want to pay me to review their developments.'

The 41-year-old, who burst onto the scene in the early noughties as a modelBut she’s still splitting her time between Singapore and Bangkok, where she and her husband, Chinese-American entrepreneur Jon Lor, 41, as well as their two-year-old daughter, Kaya, are based.

As she chows down on her lunch, Wang, whose family owns baking supply giant Phoon Huat, says: “I come back to Singapore quite a lot, I mean, my parents are here, I'm Singaporean, my daughter is Singaporean. I was just telling someone that sitting on the plane for two hours to come back to Singapore is like sitting in two hours of traffic in Bangkok. It’s so near, so I really don't feel like I've really moved that far away.

Speaking about her time in Hong Kong, Wang, who admits that her command of Mandarin and Cantonese is “not good enough”, shares that she was landing jobs starring in music videos alongside Heavenly Kings like Leon Lai and Aaron Kwok. I’m the kind of person who, if I do something, I want to be able to do it and give it my 100 per cent. And 'cos I've worked in this industry for so long, I've made the mistake of taking on things where I couldn't give my all, and it just makes me, and my management, feel bad.

Oh, you know who would be crazy to work with again? The cast from Spin, like EJ [Choi], Madeline [Tan, who is now known as Maddy Barber], Keagan Kang, and all, that would be a blast.Creating content for YouTube has been quite a new challenge, and I’m very intrigued by it. I get to create my own content, and I get to say what I want to put out. You become your own producer and director. I feel that as an artiste now, people want to know who you are, outside of the characters you play.
