Cavin Soh Wondered What Happened To His Life When He Became A Dad… Then His Daughter Said Something That Changed Everything

Cavin Soh, 51, is one of those celebs who can do it all. He's an actor, singer, and host, and is also dad to two kids, Kayden, 11, and Bethany, nine.

Appearing as guests on the second episode of A Night Under The Stars, Cavin and Kayden joined host Darren Lim and his 12-year-old son Way on a two-day, one-night outdoor adventure.

It was Darren and Cavin's first-time reuniting on screen in a decade. They last acted opposite each other in 2011 drama The In-Laws before appearing together on info-ed show Daddy 101 in 2012. 

Of course, A Night Under The Stars saw Cavin and Darren sharing their experiences with fatherhood, and the challenges they faced in the process.

According to Cavin, when he first became a dad, he remembered listening to other people talk about how they would always forget how tired they were from work once they returned home to their kids.

However, Cavin did not have the same experience.

Some 10 years ago, he found himself thinking: "What has become of my life?" when he got home after a long day at work and heard his kid crying.

He admitted he had a tough time adjusting to fatherhood, but he slowly got the hang of it when his kids got older.

Once, when Cavin was leaving his house, his daughter Bethany told him: “Dad, be careful when you’re driving. If you’re drinking, don’t drive, and don’t drive if you drank.”

For Cavin, that moment made him feel that everything he had been through was worth it.

When Darren joked that Cavin now has one more person to keep him in check, the latter said: “That’s one more person who cares about me.”

“[Our] two kids are our teachers, they teach us to be good people, train my patience, and [teach] us how to look at things from different angles. I think having kids is pretty great,” said Cavin, who admitted he and his wife changed a lot after becoming parents.

The group visited Pulau Ubin, where they went cycling.

Besides trying out the professional bike path at the Ketam Mountain Bike Park, Way also challenged himself by riding over a single-plank bridge.

Although he kept falling, the determined teen didn’t give up.

Looking at his son, Darren revealed that of his four children, Way’s personality resembled his the most.

“He likes to take risks, loves getting his adrenaline pumping and loves trying out new things,” said the proud dad.

“Actually, one needs to learn how to fall. This is something all parents need to learn, [they need] to know when to let go, to let them experience things for themselves," said Darren.
