My weekends usually start with a slow morning coffee, before I switch on music and pet my cats. I will then run some errands, have a nice dinner or maybe hang out with friends. Hong Ling enjoys having long meals together with her husband, actor Nick Teo, over the weekends. PHOTO: HONGLINGG_/INSTAGRAM I recently spent the whole day with Nic k. W e woke up around 11am and went for a walk around the neighbourhood. We are moving soon, and were talking about how it had been a long time since we took a walk around. We looked for a place that sells Vietnamese coffee and headed there, and had a very long lunch, chatting for about two hours. I've also picked up a new hobby – pickleball. I love it and have been arranging to play with my friends over the weekends. These meet-ups are quite memorable as it has been a long time since I have gone out because of my busy filming schedule.
