Hongkong actress Cecilia Yip, 59, has had to deal with lots of nasty, ageist comments in recent years.

The star, who is best known for her role as Xu Xian in the classic 1992 drama New Legend of Madame White Snake, has been described as looking “too thin” and “haggard”.

Even worse, she was criticised for having “clearly visible laugh lines and crow’s feet” as if aging is a crime.

Netizens are loving her new look

Well, it seems like the internet has finally gotten on board with Cecilia embracing her age.

She recently shared a clip of herself attempting to play the mini electric guitar on Douyin.

As expected, netizens were fixated on her head of grey hair. However, their reaction has been completely different.

Describing her tousled bob as “cool” and “stylish”, fans also compared her to another silver-haired star.

“[She's] just like Sally Yeh. [They] embrace ageing and face it calmly,” wrote one netizen.

Cecilia, who also appeared to not have a lick of make-up on in the video, went on to earn praise for "ageing naturally and gracefully".

About time.

Both Sally and Cecilia look fab

Can you get fined for not picking up your dog’s poo in Singapore? 💩🐶 Yes — and the rules depend on where your dog does its business. From HDB estates and public spaces to national and public parks, dog owners are required to clean up after their pets, with fines of up to S$1,000 in public places and up to S$2,000 in parks. But what about condos, where management can have their own rules too? We break down Singapore’s dog poo laws, the penalties for leaving it behind, and what dog owners should know before heading out for their next walk. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #dogpoop #dogowners #sgtiktok

Could you really pay off a bill with your hair? 💇‍♀️ A woman in Thailand was reportedly left with a shaved head after being unable to settle a 60,000-baht host bar bill, with an agreement made to exchange her hair for the debt. The bizarre incident raises an interesting question: what actually counts as “payment” when you can't pay a bill? Could someone in Singapore legally agree to work, provide a service — or even give up something valuable — in exchange for settling a debt? We look at what Singapore contract law says about alternative forms of payment, and whether the classic movie trope of “can't pay? Go wash the dishes” could actually happen in real life. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #bald #bills #sgtiktok
