Yvonne Lim and Family Return to Singapore After 10 Years in Taipei
After a decade in Taiwan, actress Yvonne Lim is starting a new chapter back in Singapore with her family. Last year, the 48-year-old Singaporean announced her plans to return in a video titled “I’m Back” released on Nov 21, expressing her mixed emotions about leaving Taipei after ten years.
Reflections on Departure
In her most recent YouTube video, titled “Thanks for the memories!” and published on Jan 12, Yvonne documented the day of her return, bidding farewell to Taipei and reminiscing about her time there. She expressed feeling a mix of emotions, from reluctance to anticipation, as she prepared to return to her hometown.
Yvonne shared how departing from Taoyuan Airport always meant embarking on a trip, but this time, it was different – they were going home. She admitted feeling nervous without a clear reason, highlighting the emotional complexity of leaving behind a place that had become a significant part of her life.
Embracing Homecoming
Yvonne had relocated to Taipei in 2015 to support her husband, Alex Tien, in managing his family business. The couple has two children, a 10-year-old son, Alex Junior, and an eight-year-old daughter, Alexa. While her children expressed happiness about returning to Singapore, Alex Junior admitted missing his friends in Taipei, showcasing the bittersweet nature of the transition.
Upon arriving at Changi Airport, Yvonne was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome from friends, including fellow actress Hong Huifang and her son, Calvert Tay. Seeing familiar faces and feeling the embrace of her community, Yvonne realized how much she had missed the sense of belonging and camaraderie in Singapore.
In an Instagram post on Jan 12, Yvonne expressed her joy at being back in Singapore, emphasizing her excitement for the future and the opportunities that awaited her. She acknowledged the support and love she received from her friends and followers, underscoring the importance of connections and relationships in feeling at home.
Through her journey of returning to Singapore, Yvonne’s experience reflects the universal longing for a place to call home and the power of community in easing transitions. As she navigates this new chapter in her life, her story resonates with anyone who has felt the tug of nostalgia and the promise of new beginnings.
