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

Congratulations are in order for the former Mediacorp actor and his wife Sally Pan, who announced on Friday that she has given birth to the couple’s second child, a daughter nicknamed Nuan Nuan. Yup, their son Miro, who turned one in March, is now a big brother.

Elvin Ng hosted a slightly belated birthday gathering for James, who turned 31 on August 27, in his house with their The Heartland Hero co-stars Paige Chua, Bonnie Loo, Ian Fang, and Shane, who recently finished serving his five-week jail term for his second drink driving conviction.

Who said we still can’t have themed birthday parties in the time of COVID? The Noose star certainly proved that wrong with these photos of her and her friends dressed up as students for what looks like a school-themed bash. How cute!

The pandemic also wasn’t gonna get in the way of the wushu star’s intimate birthday celebration for his adorable little boy Zander, who turned three last Monday. Look at all those cupcakes!

One slightly unusual birthday post — ‘cos posting pics of yourself making a wish in front of a cake is too mainstream — came from Suhaimi, who shared his birth cert, some childhood pics of him growing up in a kampong, and some musings about how he knows what it felt “to live life without wifi”.

Looks like if you want a chance of running into the Mandopop superstar while he’s back on our sunny shores, your best bet is to go cycling around the Marina Bay area ‘cos that’s also what he did the last time he was home earlier this year.

After fracturing her collarbone in a fall while cycling last month, Jaime has had to rely a lot more on food delivery services as she heals. And she wanted to do something to show her appreciation for the riders.

“Was sharing with Renee that some of our frontliners get treated badly and that’s just not right,” she wrote, adding that when she asked her daughter if she would like to write a thank you note for the next person delivering their meal, the very talented and creative 11-year-old produced this lovely drawing instead.

Parenting — Jaime’s doing it right.

After spending almost three months back home in Singapore, Sharon is now back in France and the first photos the doting paw-rent posted were of — what else? — her beloved kitty Rudon. She also made us envious with a later post in which she revealed that she was “back to 24 deg cel (sic)” weather.

Sharing a three-year-old photo that her “lover” took of her during a trip to Trastevere in Rome, Jade revealed that she will be flying to Italy next month, an announcement that no doubt struck envy into the hearts of everyone who misses overseas holidays.

When 8days.sg caught up with Yvonne a couple of weeks back, she mentioned that she has plans to send her two children, six-year-old AJ and four-year-old Alexa, for skateboarding lessons.

They had their first session earlier this week, and according to the proud mama, she was “pretty impressed by AJ’s performance and perseverance on his first lesson”. We must say that the kids are looking really cool in their gear, too.

Looks like no one can call the I Not Stupid actor “fat” now that he is trying to “get back in shape” and has already successfully gotten his weight down from 83kg to 75kg.

Chris is up for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film at this year’s Golden Bell Awards for his role in Workers and wife Fann is certainly beaming with pride.

In an Instagram post on Thursday, Fann shared several selfies of herself with their son Zed to congratulate her hubby on his achievement. As for why the boy is wearing a patch, Fann explained through her manager that the seven-year-old has a lazy eye and wears it to correct his vision.

We’ve seen a lot of celeb home makeovers lately, but come to think of it, we don’t recall anyone renovating just the bathroom. Until Fauzie here, that is.

According to the actor, the toilet is his “safe haven” as it’s where he usually gathers his thoughts and makes “clear and good life decisions”, especially when he’s doing his, um, “business”. Well, now he’ll get to do it in a super stylish WC that looks like it could belong in a boutique hotel room.

If anyone’s looking for “cafe-standard food” at “a very economical price” (that’s how the very entrepreneurial Ben, who also runs a curtains and blinds biz, put it in his IG post), head down to Chef Bui Bui at Enterprise One in Kaki Bukit, which serves up a wide variety of dishes from fried chicken (their signature) to pasta to rice bowls.

P/S: If you show them the interview 8days.sg did with Ben (click here), you’ll get a free side of fries with your purchase of any main dish. Don’t say we never jio.
