Lina Ng On Getting Recognised In Public: "My Kids Would Say 'Wah, You Popular Meh?'"

If there’s something Lina Ng fears, it’s walking the flight of 50 steps at the Mediacorp atrium during the Star Awards. Fumbling around in her heels during our photoshoot, the 44-year-old actress psyches herself up for the big day by having a conversation with herself.

“I’m afraid that I would shake during the awards because I’m so nervous!”
“It’s been so long, all these things feel strange to me!”
“Walk up the stairs in my heels? My legs are wobbly!”
“What if I fall down? The other artistes are used to it lah, but we are first timers…. Okay, okay. I won’t think about it anymore.”

You get the point.
