First came allegations of Night Owl Cinematics’ (NOC) Sylvia Chan spewing vulgarities at her staff, followed by a whole exposé blog by former and current employees of NOC. But amidst all the negativity comes a happy piece of news - Samantha Tan, one of the ex-NOC talents said to be a victim of Sylvia’s alleged workplace bullying, has just gotten engaged.

Yesterday afternoon, on 25 October 2021, 27-year-old Samantha Tan took to Instagram to announce her engagement to her boyfriend Julius. The couple were first set up with each via mutual connections 5 years ago, and met up to have ramen for their first date.

The engagement announcement was kept short and sweet, with a one-liner caption stating, “I said okay! ?????.”

The photo carousel shows Samantha and Julius in what appears to be a hotel staycation setting. Surrounded by a flower garland and instant photo prints of the couple is a little message board on the bed, reading, “I LOVE YOU, WILL YOU MARRY ME?”

It is likely that this proposal setup was a DIY effort by Julius, which just makes everything all the more sweet.

While there’s no close-up photo of the ring on Sam’s finger, we do catch a glimpse of it in its box. The details aren’t clear but it is apparent that this is not the standard solitaire diamond ring. Instead, it seems to have an unorthodox asymmetrical design - somewhat resembling a crown of sorts - and what looks to be multiple gems as accents.

This milestone happened shortly before Jack Neo announced Samantha’s successful audition for a role in his upcoming “Ah Girls Go Army” film, a female-centric movie similar to that of his previous “Ah Boys To Men” series detailing the ups and downs of army life during National Service (NS) in Singapore. Talk about double happiness!
