8days
The glowing mum-to-be on life during the Circuit Breaker, mental wellness and how lucky her baby is.
Before Covid-19: Zoom was the sound a car made when it goes very fast. Post-Covid-19: Zoom is how you have team meetings with your colleagues, and how you have happy hour drinks with your pals. It’s how you have family birthday celebrations and celebrate festivals. And it’s how, if you’re working for 8days.sg, you have ‘face-to-face’ interviews with celebrities. While trying to eliminate unnecessary in-person meetings this virus season, we’re trying out a new thang — Celeb Zoom Meetings, where we catch up with stars at home, and chat about stuff.
We kick things off with Sheila Sim, rocking a five-month preggers glow, whose stay-home style is effortlessly chic (she throws on a big tee and a straw hat with barely any make-up and looks totally Zoom-ready). She’s speaking to us from the apartment she shares with her husband Deon Woo and their two cats, where they’ve been huddled since the start of the Circuit Breaker. Her baby girl’s nursery (she’s due in October) is in an unfinished state thanks to shops being closed, Sheila’s drama is on hiatus and she’s not sure if her growing tummy will interfere with filming continuity, and many things are still up in the air as Singapore enters Phase 1 post-CB, adding a little more stress to an expectant mother’s already-apprehensive state of mind. But Sheila is chill, ’cos she has ways of dealing with uncertainty, anxiety and stress, thanks to her lessons in Positive Psychology. And she’s here to share some well-being tips, her thoughts about the Circuit Breaker, and a quick video house tour (see the link at the end of this story). Let’s roll… we mean, let’s Zoom.
