Even as she is trying to lose her post-baby weight and prepare for her wedding, billionaire heiress and social media star Kim Lim has set her sights on having four kids.
She wants to be a hands-on mum
Kim, who says she registered her marriage in February 2017, declines to reveal her husband’s name, except that it starts with a K.
He has “his own businesses”, she says, adding that she wishes to respect his privacy. However, she has posted photos of him on Instagram with their baby.
Her wedding was originally scheduled for March this year, but she has tentatively postponed the banquet to October, as she “felt fat and not good enough”.
“My wedding has to be ‘bamz ’,” she says in the interview. “I don’t know how to explain. It’s just, like, a mixture of everything. Bamz.”
“I planned all of my dream (wedding) decor and gave it to my baby’s birthday celebrations,” Kim adds.
It appears that she is putting more effort into planning her baby’s first-year birthday party in July than organising her wedding. She hopes the birthday will be “another statement party” in the vein of the 99-day celebration she threw for him at The RitzCarlton, Millenia Singapore in October.
That extravagant event was attended by Singapore celebrities such as actor Desmond Tan and hair stylist David Gan. It boasted stylish white decor, balloons and carnival game booths.
Kim is determined to be an actively involved mum. “Everyone always thinks that I would have many helpers or something, but I am actually very hands-on. Even when I go overseas on holiday, I don’t take the helper with me. “I think that’s so important because kids grow up so fast. He is only at this age right now and the moment will pass by very quickly,” she tells ST.
She adds that she has only one helper who takes over baby duties at home in the morning from 5am. Night feeding and diaper changes are handled by herself or her husband, she says.
“This is all a learning phase for me. You ask me what challenges I’m facing, but I don’t see any of it as a challenge yet. I just really enjoy the process.”
She adds: “I used to party a lot. Recently, I’ve started to go out again, but that usually means family karaoke or dinners.”
Kim shares that she has been popping into her father’s office recently to “learn about the business”.
“I have to take care of myself for my son, you know? I have to be more responsible,” she says. “The baby comes before everything, so I want to do things for him.”
