The veteran actress has a not-so-secret side career, as she doubles as a very talented comic book artist. In 2014, she even released a comic book slash memoir titled “Girl Illustrated” that documented her childhood, work life and everything in between. These days, the actress has been spending a great deal of time passing down her love of the arts to her three-year-old son affectionately known as Zed Zed.

Fann posted a picture of a recent art project that she worked on together with her son and husband and captioned it, “Zed’s latest farm project. This time with baba (Christopher)’s love and help too, @aiainbaby baba’s involvements – the stable, the gate. Zed’s work – the tall fence which in my opinion is much nicer than my typical fence and he gets to decide what colour the fan mill( yes we have to redo cos the colours were not right) and where the well and the fan mill stand and also where the animals stay. He loves the farm too much and was crying when I brought it to school with him.”

The creative actress recently channeled her love for the arts into a business, “The Dimple Loft”, an enrichment programme that “focuses on storytelling through the filmic arts.”

It’s easy to believe that one person’s efforts don’t matter when it comes to protecting the environment, but if we all made small tweaks and changes to our lifestyle, we could make a huge difference. One small switch we can make is to follow Malaysian singer Fish Leong’s lead and cook at home instead of eating out. In this picture, the singer who is based in Taiwan is making a batch of cookies from scratch with her three-year old son.

According to a study by Cornell University, while it takes seven kilocalories of energy to produce food, processing, packaging and transporting it takes another ten. Hence, if you want to do your part for the environment, you can start by cooking your own food rather than dining out.
