After experiencing the recent earthquake in Taiwan, actor Mark Lee plans to write his will
The actor went on to explain that as a Singaporean, he wasn’t aware of the SOP during an earthquake. For example, he and Catherine didn’t know they had to keep the doors open or they might end up trapped inside the room.
Mark, however, found a silver lining through the tragedy.
Admitting that it’s been a long time since Catherine cried in his arms, Mark shared that, at that very moment, he felt thankful to have gone through the ordeal with his wife by his side.
According to the actor, after the first wave of tremors, they thought the entire incident was over.
But when they heard the sirens from ambulances, Catherine started to cry again. They also continued feeling the aftershocks, which happened about five to six times.
A lot of things raced though Mark’s mind during this period. He said he thought about his kids and went on to joke that he didn’t need to worry about his mistress as his friends would help look after her.
The quake also made Mark plan to write a will when he returns to Singapore, in case he “suffers from dementia in the future”.
The actor, who said he’s worried his kids would “vie for (his) inheritance next time”, added: “My country used to encourage sea burial, but now they advocate green burial. There’s even a garden for it. But I’d still choose sea burial for myself.”
“But after the quake, I realised we should be willing to spend our money and live in the moment. Once we’re gone, we won’t have the chance to spend the money no matter how much we have,” he reflected.
