After conquering it, Png, 52, challenged De Cruz to take on the Giant Swing at Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett with him \u2013 a challenge she agreed to.<\/p>\n
“Having Pierre by my side is everything. The courage always comes from him,” said DeCruz. “If this were my last day and he asked me to do something extreme, I would do it with him because I have him to hang on to for dear life.”<\/p>\n
Recalling the life-threatening moment from years ago, DeCruz shared in the episode: “I had been filming a lot, I thought all I was feeling was just exhaustion. I didn’t know I was ill until my sister, who used to work for the National Kidney Foundation, looked at me. She said: ‘You need to go and see your doctor.’ I said, ‘Why?’ She said: ‘Your whites are very yellow.’<\/p>\n
“So I went to see the doctor. She pressed on my tummy and she said, ‘Your liver is inflamed.’ From then on, everything just went downhill.”<\/p>\n
She added: “I was probably admitted on Apr 11 and by May 7, I needed the transplant. There was a priest who came to visit me just before the transplant. I told him that if God takes me, I\u2019m ready because I\u2019ve lived a fulfilling life.”<\/p>\n
Png also shared his own thoughts: \u201cI remember during the transplant, Andrea and I had no blood relation. They wanted to\u00a0establish\u00a0that there was an\u00a0emotional\u00a0tie between Andrea and me. I’m her boyfriend and I proposed to her. She’s now my fiancee.\u201d<\/p>\n
The episode also saw the couple looking back on their 23-year-long marriage, while eating durian.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were married 16 to 17 months after the transplant,\u201d said Png. \u201cWe had just gone through something very life-changing. Andrea had a transplant the year before. The transplant was a success. Her body accepted the liver, we got married as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked by Png if she thought they “would last this long”, DeCruz replied before breaking down in tears: “Honestly, I never really gave it any thought. When we got married, I definitely hoped that we would last a lifetime until our last day on earth. Like I always mention to you, that if I go, I hope it will be going with you too, right?”<\/p>\n
DeCruz later added that when she was ill, she “put a lot of faith” in Png “because he’s the best person to have around when the storm hits”.<\/p>\n
“When he’s calm, I’m calm. I draw a lot of strength from him, and I think that helps in anyone’s recovery process,” she said.<\/p>\n
