Kevin Kwan\u2019s novel-turned-film, Crazy Rich Asians, is now in our local cinemas and the lifestyle of the rich characters is one of the most lavish and decadent is one of the most stunning parts of the film. It\u2019s the kind of life that most of us would dream of, or at the very least, play it out in The Sims series of video games.<\/p>\n
The story and set-pieces laid out in the film isn\u2019t constructed from the author\u2019s figment of imagination or dreams, though. The characters, lifestyle, and even the houses are all inspired from the author\u2019s own personal experiences. Being one of the great-grandsons of the founder of the OCBC Bank, Kevin Kwan\u2019s had his fair share of the extremely lavish lifestyle in Singapore \u2013 only until he moved away to the United States at 12, where he would write his book.<\/p>\n
However, I\u2019m writing this not to tell you about the movie \u2013 you should watch it in the cinemas, no doubt, but I\u2019m writing this to tell you of the real <\/em>crazy-rich Asians around these parts.<\/p>\n A moment with @dior at the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris. This stunning fresco mural behind me is Raoul Dufy\u2019s \u2018The Electricity Fairy\u2019, 600m wide and high. It depicts a mix of mythological and historical figures in electricity and science\u26a1????????????\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/a><\/p>\n A post shared by Rachel Yeoh<\/a> (@rachel_yeoh) on Rachel & Michelle Yeoh<\/h2>\n
