Race Wong talks transformation from entertainer to entrepreneur with Lionnel Lim.
RACE WONG may be petite in proportions, but you feel her presence immediately as she strides into the room: Purposefully, yet elegant and almost cat-like with her delicate gait. Her long tresses are worn in a dishevelled knot, revealing an elegant neck and dazzling pebble-sized diamond solitaires on her earlobes.
With hardly a trace of make-up, Wong looks youthful in person. But her all-black (her favourite colour) ensemble of shift dress, boucle jacket, necklace, and spindly stilettos conveys that she is a businesswoman in charge. She is soft-spoken, and, boy, is she very sharp. Case in point: When our video crew discusses how best to mask the microphone, she chips in with a few excellent suggestions.
Wong, after all, was a singer and actress who made up the noughties Cantopop duo 2R with her elder sister Rosanne. Besides a string of music accolades, she also garnered nominations from the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, a rare feat for Singaporean artistes.
These days, the new wife and mother is better known as an entrepreneur. With younger sister Rhonda, she co-founded Anthill Corporation, which comprises Anthill Realtors (an investor-focused property agency), Anthill Global (development projects in Melbourne), and Ohmyhome (a mobile app and online portal that connects home owners and facilitate transactions).
One can be forgiven to assume that, with her entertainment pedigree, Wong will be guarded. Far from it. The 35-year-young mother of nine-month-old Cara banters easily, offers her views quickly, and shares openly about setting up her companies and coping as a mummypreneur.
