The 56-year-old actress, who moved to Panama with her diplomat husband in the late ‘90s, stars in new Mediacorp drama Home Again. Here, she opens up about her health problems and why she decided to move back to Singapore.

Her character grapples with the guilt of losing her oldest son when he was eight and his subsequent return, as well as her prickly relationship with her daughter because of the latter's choice in men.

I’m a very happy, easygoing person but there were times when I felt so moody that I didn’t even want to get out of my bed. My head was spinning because of my low blood count. My doctor told me that she didn’t want to remove my uterus because it’s better to retain your body parts. However, I was mentally prepared to be on hormone pills for the rest of my life in case she had to do it.On to happier things. We hear you love cooking a lot. Have you ever thought of starting a food business?

My spouse was the head of mission for the country so I had to entertain and meet a lot of important people. People think that being an ambassador’s wife means you have a lot of time on your hands and that there are helpers waiting on you hand and foot in your big house. Please don’t have the wrong idea. There are many things that we have to be very cautious about. I can say what I want now and laugh whenever I want, but not back then. I had an image to upkeep.

Now, she’s working as a graphic designer. So far so good — she’s like me and very easygoing. We don’t pretend to be people who we are not.She had to decide before she turned 21 and I was surprised that she wanted to be Singaporean because I thought she wouldn’t be able to get used to the lifestyle here. That was about a year ago — she’s 22 now.

Here, I take public transport and I see a lot of interesting things. For example, I saw a mother with her two kindergarten-aged children taking the bus, and both could manage to board and find a seat on their own. I was very impressed.I haven’t been working for more than 20 years. I bought this flat [I'm living in] in 1997, before I left the country. All the neighbours here are new, except for one auntie who has lived here the longest.
