Lawrence Wong couldn't pay respects to his late mother because of the lockdown

Because of Malaysia's nationwide lockdown, the China-based, Malaysian-born actor, who is in Singapore now, was unable to return home to pay respects to his late mother on her birthday. And he could only sing her a birthday song "while looking up at the sky". At the end of his post, Lawrence, who also prepared a cake for his mum, wrote, "Happy birthday mum. I miss you."

The Internet was blessed with a rare photo of Jeremy Chan and Jesseca Liu together

The couple rarely uploads photos together, but when they do, they're always adorable. Guess that's another good thing to come out of everyone spending more time home these days.

Jolin Tsai returned to the kitchen

In case you didn't know, the Taiwanese pop diva is serious about baking. In 2016, she entered an international cake design competition and was awarded Gold for her elaborate Marilyn Monroe design.
While this chocolate cake doesn't look as fancy as that, we would gladly stuff our faces silly with it.
