In a recent Facebook post, 35-year-old Taiwanese actress-model Sonia
Sui shared that she had received a message from a new father, whose wife
had wondered what a day in the life of celebrity mum Sonia was like. So
she decided to write a post detailing a day in her life.
On
Saturday, Sonia and her businessman husband, Tony, had brought their
son out to the doctors’. However, instead of wearing the branded clothes
that many people expect celebrities to wear constantly, Sonia was
actually dressed in “yesterday’s clothes, which smelled like grease from
the kitchen”.
Sonia then explained that on Friday evening, the
family of three reached home only after nightfall, so she had to rush to
prepare dinner for her son and husband, leaving her with no time to
dress up.
Once dinner was cooked, Sonia then had to do the dishes
and feed her son Max. After that, she washed Max, who is always covered
in food after eating.
Sonia’s tasks were not done even after Max had finally gone to sleep.
She then had to clean up the food that Max had thrown onto the floor
before grabbing a few spoons of rice for dinner. After that, Sonia was
so tired, she dozed off until the next morning, leaving her with no time
to change out of her greasy clothes before bringing her son out to see
the doctor. Sonia, her husband, and Max then had lunch at a nearby
noodle store.
But Sonia’s struggles weren’t over. At that time,
some of the customers in the shop started trying to take pictures of the
family secretly, leaving Sonia to juggle coaxing Max, who had woken up
crying from the noise, and gesturing to ask the customers to stop taking
pictures.
Sonia’s gestures were “ignored by them”, leaving her
mind “filled with thoughts of leaving as soon as possible”, making it
hard for her to eat comfortably.
After sharing about her hectic
daily life, Sonia then ended her post by sharing that while she didn’t
know how other people envisioned her daily life to be like, she finds
greater satisfaction in her unglamourous daily life, as compared to her
life as a celebrity.
