In a heartfelt farewell to a significant chapter of her life, actress Yvonne Lim has made her emotional return to Singapore after living in Taiwan for the past ten years. The star, who is now 48, had moved to Taiwan in 2014 to be with her husband, Taiwanese businessman Alex Tien, 45. Together, they have two children: a son named AJ, who is now 10, and an 8-year-old daughter named Alexa.

In a poignant social media post on January 12, Lim expressed mixed emotions as she boarded the plane back to Singapore. "Taipei wasn’t just a city to us – it was where memories were made, milestones were celebrated, and life unfolded in ways we never imagined," she shared. As the aircraft took off, she felt a whirlwind of excitement, nostalgia, and a tinge of nervousness. "Returning to Singapore feels like stepping into a new chapter, yet it’s also a homecoming to where it all began."

Renowned for her roles in classic Mediacorp dramas like "Stepping Out" (1999), "A New Life" (2005), and "Metamorphosis" (2007), Lim not only continues to win accolades but also made headlines recently for achieving her 10th Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste distinction at the 2024 Star Awards. With her exceptional career, she is set to receive the prestigious All-Time Favourite Artiste Award in 2025.

To commemorate this poignant transition, Lim released a nostalgic video titled "Thanks For The Memories!" on her YouTube channel, chronicling her family’s journey from Taiwan to Singapore. Throughout the video, she confided her mixed feelings. “I’m feeling a little conflicted, a little reluctant, but I’m looking forward to it too,” she narrated, reflecting on the surrealness of flying back—not for a holiday this time but to return home.

The emotional gravity of the flight was further highlighted when Lim inquired about her children’s feelings regarding the move. AJ expressed happiness tinged with sadness, noting he would miss his friends from Taiwan. Shortly after, the family arrived at the bustling Changi Airport, greeted warmly by friends, including fellow Singaporean actress Hong Huifang.

As the reunions unfolded, Lim felt a flood of nostalgia and warmth. "I suddenly realized how much I missed them," she shared with an emotional depth. "The warmth of Singapore, combined with good friends by my side – in that moment, I understood that this has always been my home."

As Yvonne Lim embarks on this new chapter, her fans are eagerly awaiting to see how this journey will unfold. Will the actress take on new roles? Will she return to local television? One thing is certain: her heart remains entwined with her roots, and her story will continue to inspire many.
