 Wearing
a pair of blue jeans and a cutesy light-blue T-shirt, Yvonne strides into the
room carrying 2 huge plastic bags. After she flings the heavy-looking sacks onto
the sofa, she turns to greet me before plopping herself onto the couch as well.
She has
lugged half of her collection of over 40 bags, explaining, "I brought all these
so that you can pick and choose."
She pulls
out a few handbags and then claims that she doesn't like them in general. "Actually;
I prefer slingbags, but sometimes the handbags are so beautiful that I cannot
resist them," laughs the 24-year-old.
The pretty
actress who is a regular on TV every Sunday at 9.30 pm in the popular sitcom,
Don't
Worry, Be Happy, confesses to a tendency of buying bags when she is overseas.
"On average, I buy about 5 when I go overseas. Usually, those bags cannot be found
locally. I sometimes give some of the ones I bought to friends."
Given
her love of bags, does she have a favourite brand? "No, I have none. But I have
many denim bags which go well with jeans and a tee." Such is her impulsiveness
that "when I see things I like, I just buy".
"Sometimes, I will even go abroad to shop in neighbouring countries like Hong
Kong, Bangkok and Japan," she adds, laughing. "Free time during filming abroad
is also spent shopping. The other time I
went to Korea to film Don't Worry, Be Happy, I bought 20 brightly-coloured
T-shirts."
With a gleam
in her eye, she tells us about her shopping experiences in China. "You can find
all sorts of weird things in China. And they have these small shops where you
can actually find lots of goodies if you take the time and effort to look carefully.
Many things are actually made in China and they are such cheap buys."
