One of the perks of being an actor is that we are constantly living and reanacting lives. I learned to be more contented and appreciative on what I have and been given. I'm currently working on my next role, a character who's diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, a neurological disorder characterised by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalisations called tics. I'm thankful to be given a chance to meet up with Jeremy Goh and be inspired by his willpower of not giving up as a person with Tourette Syndrome. #tourettesyndrome #RomeoTan #快乐王子8 #王子乐

Since @katepang311 is in Taiwan, I am on sleep duty with the kids. I think it's really sweet that they wanna cuddle all night, but this is how I feel every morning.⁠⠀ #daddyneedshissleep⁠⠀

Jamie Yeo shares a throwback photo of her family back when she was just a teenager living in America, and revealed how tough it was dealing with bullies for being different.

Living in America when I was a teenager did me a lot of good. It made me strong. The first year was the toughest. I was a skinny, nerdy and bespectacled 13 yr old with a foreign accent. Starting school as the new kid in a public school (free school) was an experience. The racism was real. It might not seem like much now but to have kids make karate noises and speak in heavily Chinesey accents everyday or have bullies snatch your bag and then say "Give me some eggrolls and you'll have your bag back!" hurt like hell. (Eggrolls are basically springrolls. They're served in all Chinese restaurants there so it's like your typical Chinese food to them.) Life only got better when my parents put me in a private school where the kids were more open-minded and welcoming, and I got contact lens. The thing about Racism is that it's hard to imagine how painful it can be when you're the majority race. It's also easy to dismiss it as "no big deal". But when racist remarks are directed at you by a group of people who easily outnumber you, even a "no big deal" matter of someone mockingly imitating your supposed accent can hurt a lot. It was a little different for me. America wasn't my home country. I wasn't its citizen. I can't quite imagine having to deal with that same bullying I went through that 13th year of my life every single day for years in a country I was born in. Can you? 😌♥️

It's a wrap! ❤️🎬 #CLIF5 ranks as one of my most challenging undertakings to date. The fickle elements of Mother Nature out at sea and the exacting physical demands made for an exhausting daily grind. Respect to our passion-filled production crew for your hard work over the past 4 months and the dedicated folks of the Singapore Police Coast Guard @singaporepoliceforce who toil thanklessly in protecting our maritime waters. In retrospect, I was a liability out at sea with my lifelong fear of the sea in part due to unmanageable seasickness. To everyone on set, thank you for your kind patience and understanding 🙏🏻 I would never have survived the filming if not for your collective encouragement and laughter. #seasickpills #sourplums #medicatedoil Thank you Siewps! Best PA! Can't wait for you to catch us in action this September! Till then!✌🏻 #警徽天职5
