Patricia Mok freaked out over a dead lizard in her home

Pat shared in a hilarious video how she accidentally killed a lizard when she rolled up her window blinds to set it free.

Instead of crawling out the window, the lizard found itself trapped in the blinds, eventually getting crushed to death.

A distraught Pat was too afraid to remove the carcass and said she decided to wait for her part-time helper to do it. Sadly, she slept too soundly and didn't hear her helper knocking on the door. The latter then left before Pat woke up. 

And that’s how Pat ended up having to live with the dead lizard for a night.

Desmond Tan bumped into Joanna Tseng in London

We guess it's fate that the actor, who has been holidaying in Europe, would chance upon his Taiwanese co-star in 2019 Mediacorp drama All Is Well all the way in the UK?
