Ruby Lin strikes touristy Merlion pose in Singapore at Vivian Hsu's 'recommendation', Entertainment News
When in Singapore, do as the tourists do.
That seems to be the cue taken by Ruby Lin when the actress was in town recently.
The 49-year-old may be a star in Taiwan and beyond, but a recent Instagram post showed how in Singapore, she can be just like any other merry holidaymaker.
But unlike other regular tourists, however, Ruby had the privilege of having fellow celeb Vivian Hsu, 50, as her "tour guide".
Vivian, who split from her Singaporean husband Sean Lee in 2023, reportedly lives in Singapore with her only son, but travels to Taiwan frequently for work.
In a post published on Saturday (June 7), Ruby wrote about taking the series of "tourist photos" at the encouragement of her "dear sister", Vivian.
"Under the strong recommendation of my tour guide, companion cum photographer and dear sister, I've taken this photo which she said I'll thank her for in 10 years' time," wrote Ruby, referring to a picture of herself striking the iconic 'Merlion pose'.
"I've therefore taken this series of touristy photos," she joked, alongside a laughing emoji.
She also wrote in a series of hashtags, "As long as you're not embarrassed, others will be the ones who are embarrassed" as well as another hashtag stating that the 'photographer' was very responsible and took such photos for the entire group.

For those unacquainted with said pose, it involves people tilting their heads backward, mouths agape, to "catch" the stream of water from the Merlion's mouth.
Other photos taken by a third person showed Vivian snapping a photo of Ruby in said pose, though it's not clear if Ruby's actor husband Wallace Huo had joined her on the trip.
In an Instagram Story on June 7, Vivian too, reposted the photo, stating: "It's a photo worth remembering", calling herself "the best photographer".
On another day, Ruby and Vivian, both wearing masks, stopped for a photo-op outside the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands.
However, Ruby's little sojourn to our sunny island might not have been all that recent.
Her post a week ago showed both her and Vivian posing against the backdrop of a visual installation, which the latter indicated in a comment to be the teamLab Future World exhibit at the ArtScience Museum.

In the caption, Ruby expressed her well-wishes to followers for the Dragon Boat Festival.
