Sora Ma’s New Home Is Filled With Memories Of Her Late Husband, Including A Gold Basin He Loved

In the latest #JustSwipeLah episode, host Jernelle Oh visits former Mediacorp actress Sora Ma’s new home, where she lives with her five-month-old son, Skye.

Sora’s husband died unexpectedly last year, two months before their son was born.

Memories of the 41-year-old's late husband can be found around the home, and his hobbies and design preferences serve as a reminder of the time they spent together.

It wasn't revealed if Sora stays in a condo or an HDB. 

The vinyl record collection which sat on an exposed shelf caught Jernelle’s attention. 

Sora shared: “Actually I still have many more [records]. This is my husband’s collection."

She added that there were about 1000 more of these records, a number that shocked Jernelle.

“He loved buying records since he was a teenager. Although he has passed on, I will still keep the things that should be kept for him. Maybe when my child is older, I can tell him about the things his daddy used to like.”

The impressive vinyl collection isn’t the only thing that has a story Sora can tell Skye in the future.

She then pointed to a large painting, which she created with her husband. 

“In the beginning, I knew how to colour, but I didn’t know he could paint. He kept praising me, saying that I’m very good at painting. After being together for some time, he painted something, and after seeing it, I realised that he was a genius [at art],” said Sora. 

“We decided to do a painting together, but when I was halfway through the colouring, we moved. I’m not done with my part yet, but he has already completed his part. So this painting is called ‘An Unfinished Painting’. I still have a lot of unfinished business, and this is one of them.”

​Another eye-catching feature of Sora’s house are the gold appliances in her master bedroom toilet. 

“Actually everything here was designed to complement the golden basin,” said Sora. 

“My husband was the one who took a liking to this basin. I still want to keep the things he liked, and I spent a lot of time buying things to match the basin,” added Sora, who said she spent “around two to three weeks” to find a gold toilet-roll holder, rain shower, and tap.
