Local actress Pan Ling Ling's eldest son, Beckham Wee, is heading overseas to pursue his master's degree.
In a congratulatory note on Instagram, the 55-year-old shared photos of her family sending off her son at the airport on Aug. 24.
Pan reflected on the bittersweet mix of pride and emotions that comes with seeing her child take the next step in his journey.
She wrote:
"Seeing you and your father's retreating figures the other day, my heart was suddenly filled with a whirlwind of emotions. I felt so proud of you, yet I couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness. How time flies! It feels like just yesterday you were that little one needing to hold my hand on your way to kindergarten. In the blink of an eye, you've grown into an adult, ready to set out for broader horizons."
Wee recently graduated from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) earlier this year.
He was previously in South Korea as part of Yonsei University's summer programme.
