Insta-Buzz: What The Stars Were Up To This Week

"It has been a rollercoaster experience, from the tireless days and nights of preparations to the actual show, we pulled through on our end, despite facing challenges and unforeseen circumstances. Sad to have learnt that so many didn’t manage to experience the show as it was intended, but I truly appreciate all the love, support and understanding from all of you!" JJ wrote on Instagram after the concert.

According to reports, some viewers experienced severe lag during the broadcast, with many complaining about the black screens and perpetually buffering video feeds.

Organiser SISTIC has said in a statement that those who experienced the streaming issues will be offered full refunds. They will be also given an opportunity to view the concert at a later date.

And comes out of the slightly embarrassing incident with a very poignant life lesson.

"Haven’t bowled for ages (which is clearly obvious), but it’s always good to remind myself that even when we do fall, we should get right back up, laugh it off, and keep moving forward cuz life’s too short to just lie there and feel sorry for ourselves!" he wrote.

And Thomas readily agreed, save for one condition — no night cycling ' cos it's " too dark" at night, according to the actor.

Will we be seeing Zoe start her own celeb biking club, after roping in a number of her celeb friends to join her for her weekly hikes? Only time will tell.

"I won't divulge much about why I was in the hospital except that it was a wake-up call and a curveball.

It was a timely reminder not to sweat the small stuff and that I'm not invincible (and sadly can't eat EVERYTHING anytime, anymore).

I have much to be thankful for — my rock of a husband, a supportive family, and, yes, healthcare insurance! Work continued and I’ve been working a lot since that day (Thank God for a quick recovery) although I’m sorry for delaying a few projects and email replies." Jamie wrote. Thankfully, it seems like Jamie has been discharged, and is up and about again.

She also added: "One day I might share more, but for now, I just want to live a good clean and full life".

Take care, Jamie!

Okay, so technically, Chen Xiuhuan's eldest daughter Shanisse, graduated from university in April, but her graduation ceremony was delayed till now 'cos of COVID-19.

Since Shanisse was still unable to have a full-fledged, in-person graduation ceremony, Xiuhuan pulled out all the stops to create a IG-worthy graduation ceremony at home, complete with customised food and decor. Definitely A for effort.

Doesn't AJ look dapper in his suit? What a cute idea to have a photoshoot to commemorate his graduation! Like Xiuhuan, Yvonne, who is based in Taipei, also threw a mini-graduation celebration at home to celebrate AJ's achievement, since Taiwan has tightened their COVID-19 safe distancing guidelines.

Of course, Jeremy had the most ingenious way to announce the good news.

"The moment I woke up, I had good news to tell everyone. I've joined Mediacorp. [After] three years of drifting, I've finally settled down." he wrote, posting this very apt picture of him asleep in bed.
