Derrick Hoh, Huang Jinglun and their families had a playdate.
As Derrick put it in his caption, Jinglun and his family, who are based in Taiwan, rarely return to Singapore, so the singers must definitely make use of the opportunity to catch up.
But of course, protective papa Derrick also made sure to add that this is "definitely not a match-making session" for his daughter Nori, and Jinglun's son, Little Lun.

Here's the first two celebs with June birthdays we spotted this week.
Did you know that everyone in the picture above was born on June 16?
Richie Koh, who turned the big 3-0 this year, did so with a huge smile on his face and some heart-shaped pastries. Meanwhile, celeb dad Andie Chen and his daughter Avery marked their 38th and 7th birthday respectively with one cake shared between the both of them.
An economical decision indeed, with Andie's wife, Kate Pang, sharing that the couple didn't place much importance on a cake for Andie, choosing to go for something that Avery would like instead. Too much cake's bad for your health anyway, right?

Chantalle Ng received a very heartwarming present this year.
Check out that gorgeous crocheted sweater the star's wearing on the left. Turns out, Chantalle's mum, actress Lin Meijiao spent one month to crochet the sweater as a birthday gift for her. Isn't that sweet?

Allan Wu turned 51.
But to be honest, we can't tell that he's 51 at all. Guess that's what a healthy lifestyle and loads of exercise gets you. Time to hit the gym, everyone.

Sheila Sim and her family enjoyed a sunset by the beach in Bali.
Getting holiday envy yet?
Sheila shared in her caption that her extended family, "including my parents, in-laws, and my sister-in-law's parents" all set off together on a trip every year. And this year, their destination is Bali, Indonesia.
"This year marks our fourth journey together, and its significance continues to grow with each passing year. As the elders age and the children grow older, the value of this annual trip becomes even more precious to all of us. Anticipation builds up, and we eagerly await its arrival," she wrote.
And though there may be setbacks and frustrations, Sheila wrote that it's all worth it in the end.
"The joy and love we experience as a family far outweigh any inconveniences or difficulties that may arise," she concluded.

"I actually can’t recall the title of the show…" Biren laughed in her caption, requesting for netizens to share their knowledge and post the name of the show in the comments section.
And of course, they delivered. That's 26-year-old Biren in the photo above, all dressed up in her outfit for the 1995 period drama, Strange Encounters III.
