Shane Pow had a fanboy moment with Jay Chou

Shane, who shared in an earlier Instagram Story that he’s a die-hard fan of Jay since young (seriously, he’s in the top 3% of Jay Chou listeners on Spotify), gushed that his dream came true last weekend, after managing to score a “solo" picture with the superstar.

Speaking of celeb photo opportunities

Glenn Yong had the chance to take a picture with Jackson Wang, who’s in town for his Magic Man world tour.

But that’s not all. Glenn later shared that he was later invited to go backstage after Jackson’s concert 'cos Jackson wanted to meet him. Say what?!

"He told me he’s seen my stuff and he likes what I’m doing, so he wanted to meet to get to know each other and hang,” Glenn wrote in his caption, adding: "Jackson has always been my inspiration, so to hear this from him meant the world to me. I really hope that I can be a Singapore represent (sic) as an artiste and put us on the global stage one day.”

Desmond Tan had very iconic ice cream in Italy

"Bringing [cheese] to the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Cheesy tourist photo is a must here!” Desmond exclaimed in his caption.

Though cheesy, we have to credit Desmond for trying something different, instead of defaulting to the usual “I'm holding up the tower” pose everyone does.

Jack Neo, Mark Lee and Henry Thia flew in style

The trio were oh-so-comfy in their business class seats to neighbouring Malaysia, where they performed at a Christmas Eve Dinner over at Genting. Jack even called it a Comedy Nite reunion in his caption. Fancy.
