75-year-old TVB actress Nancy Sit opens up on love and 17-year gap with younger partner
The 75-year-old actress once had doubts about their age gap, which eventually led them to split, according to Lianhe Zaobao. Reignited their romance
The TVB actress and her partner, Andy, have reignited their May-December romance, suggesting their romance isn't over yet. Just recently, Sit had a chat with Hong Kong media figure Stephen Chan, and during their conversation, she sent a sweet message to Andy, saying something like, 'I really hope our love lasts forever.'
Sit also mentioned that she was hesitant when Andy first showed his feelings for her. She was worried that maybe his feelings wouldn't last.
She went on to say how she feels cherished by Andy. She pointed out that he could probably be with many other people, but he's chosen to treat her incredibly well for all this time they've been together.
She also got a bit more serious, admitting that the age difference weighs on her mind. She said it makes her think about the fact that she might pass away before him. She even talked to her oldest daughter about it, who gave her some comforting advice, basically telling her not to worry so much and to just enjoy the happiness they have right now. No intention of marriage
Sit, who is well-known for her parts in dramas like A Kindred Spirit (1999), Return of the Cuckoo (2000), and Virtues of Harmony (2001), has no intention of getting married again despite her affections for Andy since she does not want to deal with the hassles of another divorce.
She also shared a bit about her history, explaining that her marriage to the rich businessman Shek Bo Hing ended quite a while ago, back in 1995, and that she has two daughters and a son from that time. She happily shared that her kids have already welcomed Andy into the family, and he even joins them when they go on trips together.
Expressing her deep appreciation for Andy's devotion, Sit remarked that finding such a sweet and loving connection at this stage of her life felt like a truly rare and special gift. Wonderful gift
She also said to Andy, 'Whenever things get tough for me, you're always right there by my side, sharing the load. Meeting you has been such a wonderful gift in my life. I really hope we can keep our love as strong and happy as it is now.'
Nancy Sit Ka-yin, whose Chinese name is 薛家燕, was born in Hong Kong on March 30, 1950. She's a respected actress and singer who's been in the business for many years.

‘Going out with my father is embarrassing': Teen opens up about strained relationship with parent
SINGAPORE: For most people, spending time with a parent might be comforting or fun, but for one teenager, it's the exact opposite. Posting on the r/SGexams subreddit on Sunday (Jul 27), the teen shared that being alone with her father is often an uncomfortable experience. 'Going out with my father is embarrassing,' she wrote. 'Like, let's say we are going to get something, and then he sees the price and gets mad that it's expensive and talks loudly. Of course, that attracts people's attention to look at us, right? Like, if it's only us, we don't talk one sia, legit silent.' She also mentioned that her father sometimes shouts at her without any clear reason. In one case, she said he scolded her over the phone just because she took a bit longer than expected to return home after buying food. Moreover, she added that her relationship with her father is quite distant. They hardly speak unless her mother and brother are around, and she doesn't usually approach him for help. 'I don't look for him when I need help. Like, whenever I want to buy something, I either send it in the group chat and ask my mum, because if I ask him, he would say he has 'no money.' Like, I really don't get why he can't just talk nicely. Even my grandma doesn't like talking to him. I swear, he's only okay when I'm with my mum and brother,' she wrote. 'Count yourself lucky that he is not the kind that demands money or borrows money.' In the comments, one Singaporean Redditor shared that he was going through a similar experience. 'Wah a lot of stuff that you mentioned, like how you and he are silent when you guys are together, or when asking him to do something, you don't ask him to do it directly. Same for me also lol,' he wrote. 'My dad also has a really bad temper, and I can't stand it also. To the point that now I'm older, I don't even talk to him unless I really need to.' Another commented, 'Same. At this point, I ain't talking to him. He is abusive and mean. Like, literally, you want me to do well for exams and be a good child when bro is like this.' A third remarked, 'Well, count yourself lucky that he is not the kind that demands money or borrows money from family without returning it.' In other news, a young lad recently confessed on social media that he struggles to understand why his girlfriend, who is rich, beautiful, and academically brilliant, has never walked away from him despite his flaws. In a lengthy post on Reddit's SGexams forum, he shared that he and his girlfriend come from completely different worlds. 'I'm from a single-parent, low-income household, currently studying in a mid-tier JC (junior college). I wear thick glasses, look pretty average at best, and spend most of my time buried in books trying to survive A-levels and break my poverty cycle,' he wrote. 'She, on the other hand, is rich and hot. Her GPA (grade point average) in poly is a perfect 4.0.'

Danish lifestyle brand Flying Tiger Copenhagen opens first Singapore store at Bugis+
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The 157 sq m space is packed with toys, games and gadgets, as well as leisure, home and kitchen products. SINGAPORE – Danish lifestyle brand Flying Tiger Copenhagen, known for its colourful and affordable products for the home and office, has opened its first Singapore store at Bugis+ on July 28. Packed with toys, games and gadgets, as well as leisure, home and kitchen products, the 157 sq m space sits on the mall's second floor. It is similar in spirit to lifestyle retailers such as Australian brand Typo and Chinese label Miniso. A cross between Swedish home retailer Ikea and Japanese consumer store Daiso comes to mind, as Flying Tiger Copenhagen showcases a Scandinavian design sensibility in its everyday products. Most items in the Singapore store are priced under $20. The most expensive is a $45 skateboard, while foam water guns are priced at $2. To celebrate the opening, the brand is hosting an interactive pop-up at the Bugis+ atrium from Aug 1 to 3, featuring mini games, a spin-the-wheel station and prizes up for grabs. The Singapore store is the brand's latest step in its Asia-Pacific expansion, which kicked off with Indonesia and the Philippines in 2023, followed by Australia and Vietnam in 2024. Concurrently, the brand's first Malaysian store opened its doors in Johor Bahru's Aeon Mall Tebrau City on July 28. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

The store's range draws from the same product catalogue of its home stores in Denmark, and are made by the same factories, mostly in China. Mr Martin Jermiin, chief executive of Flying Tiger Copenhagen, tells The Straits Times: 'Since joining Flying Tiger Copenhagen as CEO in 2019, I've had the privilege of leading the brand through a transformational phase of global expansion. Singapore represents a pivotal market in our Asian expansion strategy.' The Singapore store is the brand's latest step in its Asia-Pacific expansion. ST PHOTO: GIN TAY 'Our mission is 'a richer life doesn't cost a fortune'. We strive to bring a sense of surprise and joy into every store visit by providing our customers with a broad, compelling assortment of everyday essentials combined with ever-evolving, inspirational new offerings,' he adds. The brand began as a flea market stall in the late 1980s, with the first bricks-and-mortar store opening in Copenhagen in 1995, where every item was priced at 10 Danish kroner (S$2). A 10 kroner coin is known as a 'tier' in Denmark – which is similar to the Danish pronunciation of 'tiger'. In this light, the first store took the moniker of 'Tiger', and subsequent stores continued to be known as 'Tiger' until 2016. The name was then officially changed to Flying Tiger Copenhagen, as the Tiger name had not been usable in certain markets. As at 2025, it has more than 1,000 stores in 39 markets. ST highlights selected products that shoppers can find at its Singapore store.
