  Zoe is having a baby!
  
  Friday • August 27, 2004
  
  WITH perfect timing and wonderful dramatic flair, the Queen of Caldecott Hill yesterday announced her pregnancy.
  
  Zoe Tay (picture), 36, found out about her condition a month ago, but only made it public a day after the government announced its package of marriage and baby perks. She is now about two-and-a-half months pregnant.
  
  The MediaCorp actress married Air Force pilot Philip Chionh in September 2001. The couple said that when it came to children, they would let nature take its course.
  
  "I was expecting this for a while, so I'm really, really happy," said Zoe yesterday, looking tired as she answered media queries at Caldecott Broadcast Centre. "But we didn't force it. It had to come naturally.
  
  "About a month ago, I noticed that my taste buds and sense of smell had changed, so I went to the doctor for a check-up.
  
  "This came at the right time. I'm trying to get 12 weeks of maternity leave," she joked, referring to the just-announced increase of maternity leave from eight to 12 weeks. Another of the measures, the five-day week for civil servants, is also very welcome news for Zoe.
  
  "My husband is a military man so he'll get a five-day work week. That's important for a family to spend time together."
  
  While she says she isn't bothered about the sex of the child, she would prefer a girl because "girls are tamer". Having grown up in a big family, she would like to have more children.
  
  Though Zoe said her pants now feel tighter as she has gained weight around her hips, there was little visible yesterday of her new status.
  
  As for how her pregnancy will affect her career, Zoe seemed unsure.
  
  None of her colleagues had heard the good news yet. Only family and friends — three close ones, to be exact — were in the know before she told her boss and her manager.
  
  "(They) were very shocked and happy when I told them," said Zoe.
  
  "They're trying to put me in a job that won't compromise my comfort. I don't know when I'll stop working.
  
  "I don't feel any different now. I'm not sure how I'll feel when I get bigger and I don't want to inconvenience the crew."
  
  So, will fans be able to accept her new image as pregnant mother-to-be, instead of the svelte Queen of Caldecott Hill?
  
  "It's very hard to answer that. I'm not at that stage yet," she said. — Jeanine Tan

  She's milking publicity out of her baby. I think when the baby is born, she will probably get a few sponsors from diaper and milk companies.

  Zoe on time for baby goodies
  THE Queen of Caldecott Hill, Zoe Tay, is pregnant.
  
  According to a Channel News Asia report, she is two months along.
  
  The child, Zoe and her air force pilot husband Philip Chionh's first, will be a beneficiary of the pro-family baby goodies the Government is handing out.
  
  Zoe, 36, burst onto the local entertainment scene in 1988 when she won Star Search, organised by the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation.
  
  Since then, she has been consistently ranked among the top actresses at MediaCorp and has won over legions of fans.
  
  She has been fielding questions from the media about starting a family since she got married more than three years ago.
  
  The actress said that she is delighted about the impending arrival of their child.

  Plain food for pregnant Zoe
  By Lionel Seah
  
  
  NO SEAFOOD PLEASE: Zoe Tay, seen with her husband Philip Chionh, can't eat her favourite seafood because her tastebuds have changed.
  
  QUEEN of Caldecott Hill Zoe Tay is about three months into her pregnancy and a close friend reveals her tastebuds have changed.
  
  Fashion stylist Jeremy Tan says: 'She used to like seafood a lot. But now, she complains that seafood makes her want to throw up. She prefers plain food these days.'
  
  Tan has been friends with the 36-year-old MediaCorp artist for about 10 years. He last saw her when they shot a print and television commercial on Tuesday.
  
  Channel NewsAsia reported Tay's pregnancy on Thursday night, as did Channel 5.
  
  Tan, who is in his 30s, declines to elaborate further on the pregnancy or say when he first knew of the news. But he adds that the actress' face looks slightly slimmer than before.
  
  'Perhaps that's the reason most of the film crew for the commercial commented that her face looked much prettier on the TV monitors than normal.'
  
  Tay had commented during the Channel NewsAsia segment that she had shed some weight.
  
  The actress, last seen in the drama serial Man At Forty, which ended its run in June, was unavailable for comment yesterday.
  
  This will be the first child for the actress and her pilot husband of three years, Philip Chionh, also 36.
  
  A MediaCorp spokesman declined to say how the pregnancy will affect the career of one of its top stars, who currently endorses Olympus camera and Super Coffee Mix, among other products.
  
  However, a press reception has been scheduled for next Tuesday where Tay will speak about her pregnancy.
  
  Long-time friend and hairstylist to the stars, David Gan, 40, says he knew of the good news about three weeks ago.
  
  'She called me while I was in Paris and told me not to say a word back then. She's obviously very happy.'
  
  Gan has known her since 1988 when she was crowned the winner of the first Star Search, a talent quest organised by the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation.
  
  He also reveals that 'Zoe has talked a lot more about wanting babies in the past year'.
  
  Tan surmises one possible reason babies did not come into the picture until recently was Chionh's work schedule, which often requires overseas postings.
  
  Back in May, when asked about her baby plans at a press conference, Tay said: 'I shall let nature take its course. These things are God-given, you cannot force it to happen. Anyway, Philip is not around, how to have babies?'
  
  Gan and Tan say they do not know if the couple have decided on a baby name yet, or how many children they intend to have.
  
  Says Gan: 'I remember Zoe and Philip saying that it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. But I'd like them to have twins.'
  
  Tay was quoted in yesterday's Lianhe Wanbao as saying that she would like her first-born to be a girl 'because girls are more obedient'.
  
  She is the latest media personality to have a go at parenthood. She joins fellow MediaCorp artists Wong Li Lin and Allan Wu, whose baby is due in October.
  
  Over at SPH MediaWorks, another celebrity couple, Evelyn Tan and Darren Lim, are expecting their baby in January.

  She's 36.
  
  Women these days really know how to take care. Many of my guy friends like 30plus year old women because they find them gorgeous & they don't whine like small girls.
