20年前，我到了台灣，打算來這裡6個月。。。 剛來的那個時候也是剛剛9/11，美國被攻擊。不用說，從那以後發生了很多事情。20 years ago today, I arrived in Taiwan, expecting to stay here for 6 months…. It was also right when the World Trade Center was attacked. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then.

21歲的我，來台灣當實習醫生救護人員。 我在醫院跟消防隊實習，夢想是可以跟國際醫療團飛來飛去幫忙。 At 21 years old, I came to Taiwan to intern at the hospital and fire department, working as an EMT and getting ready for medical school. My dream was to work as a doctor with Doctors without Borders.

快要離開的時候，有人問我要不要拍一個內衣廣告。 我心理想了兩件事：“好cool喔！“ 跟 ”這個一定是詐騙吧！“ 沒想到，拍完這個廣告只是一個人生新的開始。一個有趣的新工作，包含了主持人，演員， 小提琴表演者，作家，製作人，演說家。 Just before I was to leave Taiwan, somebody asked me if I would be interested in auditioning for an underwear commercial. I thought “Oooh this could be fun!” and simultaneously, “I think I’m being scammed.” Turns out, it was the beginning of a very interesting new career as a travel show host, actor, professional violinist, writer, producer and motivational speaker.

20年在台灣， 我的人生的一半， 從在紅毯旁邊的醫療站救護人員到今年入圍最佳女配角，然後要走紅毯。我在這裡也剛好認識了我的好多的“老公”， 跟其中一位在台灣生了兩個兒子。20 years in Taiwan - I’ve gone from working the first aid station at the red carpet to now, this year, nominated for Best Supporting Actress and walking the red carpet. I met my many (on and off screen) husbands George, 黃尚禾，and 王識賢 and hopefully more (真可惜不是都是真真的老公哈哈) here. I started a family of two boys with one of them. 😂😂 @instageorgey

這幾年，我認識了好多好多影響，啟發、支持我的人。我也到處跟好多人拍了N張照片。 如果你剛好有， 可以跟我們分享嗎？ Tag我，然後也分享這張照片哪裡拍的， 什麼狀況拍的。 我想跟大家回顧這些美好的回憶！Over the past 20 years, I have met countless people who have influenced me, inspired me and supported me. I have taken thousands of photos with people I’ve met along the way - if you have taken a photo with me, please share with me here!!! Post it, tag me, tell me about this photo, where it was taken, what happened when we took that photo, etc. I want to relive some of these awesome memories and moments of my time here so far!

THANK YOU and to many many many more years, experiences and friendships!

@tiffinroomsg is rounding off a series of successful collaborations with an enchanting showcase of specially curated dishes and well-crafted cocktails from @elephantroomsg (4 courses + 4 cocktails - $118/guest). We definitely are no stranger to wine pairings but Indian cuisine paired with Indian-influenced cocktails? That might just be a first!

The first course sees a Crispy Fried Prawn with a sweet and spicy guava chutney and masala peanuts paired with “Buffalo Road” - a cocktail with Juniper spirit and pink guava. The cocktail was really good(my fave) and I absolutely enjoyed the textural contrast and explosion of flavours in the dish

The second course highlights an interesting ingredient - betel leaf. Expect the softest melt-in-your-mouth lamb kebab which has been minced 8 times over a span of 8-9 hours, on a delightfully crisp fried betel leaf, complemented by “Race Course Plantation” - a rum-based cocktail with sugar cane juice, coconut, and betel leaf. I’ve never been a fan of lamb but this was breathtakingly delicious! I don’t think I’ll ever find a lamb kebab this good!

Third course : Achari Murgh Curry, Madras Fish Curry, Dalcha Chop Masala, Paneer Pulao (in signature tiffin box) with plain, garlic and cheese naan. I’m a little sad that the Achari Murgh and Madras Fish Curry will not be available after this collaboration ends because they are insanely yummy. I rarely eat Indian food but I would kill for these two curries and the fragrant naan anyday! Will strongly urge you to give them a try before this menu runs its course (16 September). The accompanying cocktail “Mr Desker” (made with 2 Indian whiskies) was pretty strong when I first tried it but when I took sips of it in between bites of naan, rice, and curry, I realised that the cocktail actually tasted perfect. I was really surprised but I Guess that’s the beauty of food and alcohol pairing ! So much art and finesse!

And finally, a unique dessert of rice and milk dumplings cooked with Jaggery, paired with Sippin @ 78(Bru coffee rum, coconut kombucha & caramelised onions)

I don’t think you can get such an exclusive meal with 4 cocktails at just $118 anywhere else so make a reservation now!

KEEPING POLICIES ON RACE & RELIGION UP TO DATE

We need to keep our policies on race and religion up to date, because racial and religious harmony is not just delicate, but also dynamic.

Our values and beliefs as a society shift over time, and each new generation has its own perspective on racial issues.

Meanwhile, the world around us is changing. Singapore is highly exposed to external political developments, and we are influenced by external religious trends too.

Therefore, from time to time, we must adjust our policies on race and religion. But we should adjust based on our own needs, and we should do so with caution. We have to take the time to discuss respectfully, make sure everybody understands, and build a consensus before we make any move.

A blockbuster song from the early 70's with Japanese titles such as love, sadness, sorrow, romance, and Nagisa.
I played Michel Polnareff's holiday on a piano solo. Yumi Matsutoya who loved Procol Harum in the 1960s and Michelle Polnarev
It is famous that it was influenced and reflected in lyrics such as Hikouki Cloud.

日本語のタイトルに、愛、悲しき、哀しみの、あるいはロマンス、渚などがつけられた70年代前半の大ヒット曲。
ミッシェル・ポルナレフの放題"愛の"休日をピアノソロで弾いてみました。60年代のプロコルハルムや、このミシェル・ポルナレフなどが大好きだったという松任谷由美（ユーミン）が影響を受け、ひこうき雲などの歌詞に反映された事は有名です。
