Fortunately, she learned that very quickly. Esther disclosed that she had to obtain permission from her husband for time off before she agreed to work again. "I had to take time off from home and get Nick's permission to babysit as well. After this series, I don't think I can work for another series just yet. This is because my daughter is ready to enter kindergarten and they have given her 6 months probation period before accepting her as their pupil. It seemed that we are fighting a war at the moment." Esther went on to say that her 3 year old daughter has bonding with her mainly, and now, she has to get to know her father better. Esther added "Now my daughter always hangs on to her father. When I am free, I play the role as her mother. I now have more time to think about a lot of other things other than being a mother." Ten years ago, Esther and Roger worked together on "Life and Death of First Instance" (生死訟). It had a very bad rating, as a result, the film was cut short.
