Romeo Tan celebrated his 35th birthday at home

The circuit breaker month is shaping up to be a bummer for April babies hoping for a big bash but Romeo Tan, who turned 35 on Thursday (Apr 9), made the best out of his special day with a Crash Landing On You-inspired cake.
“Happy birthday to myself. This year, I'm enjoying the simplest things in life, just staying at home with my loved ones and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. My wish for this year is for all of us to be healthy and we will get through this difficult period slowly but surely,” he wrote on IG.

Jade Seah went wakeboarding on her birthday

Unlike Romeo, this other April baby managed to squeeze in a session of wakeboarding, surfing and cable skiing to celebrate her 37th birthday just one day before the circuit breaker measures kicked in. But don’t worry, she was “socially responsible” and only jio-ed a couple of friends along.

Jaime Teo demonstrated how to pose to look like you have abs… with a plot twist

We almost cheered out loud when we came across Jaime Teo’s “hack” after watching Sora’s fitness routine. Just as we were about to position ourselves in the mirror to try out the trick, the 42-year-old hot mama told her followers to do a workout instead by flipping her camera to show a YouTube exercise video. Bye, gurl.

Namewee sent medical supplies to hospitals across Malaysia

Controversial Malaysian singer-rapper Namewee proved once again that he has a heart of gold. Apart from donating all profits from his #DLLM concert to charity last month, he also ordered medical supplies to be distributed to 10 hospitals in Malaysia this week.
“We bought gowns, face masks, goggles and other supplies,” the 36-year-old wrote on IG. “We will be sending them to 10 hospitals across Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak. My purpose of posting this pic is to raise awareness that hospitals in Malaysia are now lacking such supplies to fight COVID-19. I hope more people will pay attention to this issue. I am not a rich man, and this small contribution from me is not enough.”

Fann Wong’s 5-year-old son chopped onions while wearing swimming goggles

Swimming pools may be closed now but that doesn't mean your new pair of swimming goals will be rendered useless. Just do what Fann Wong and Christopher Lee's son Zed did and make like a junior Masterchef.
“Zed’s knife skills are not bad, he cuts just like his dad! [We had a] fun time cooking and baking! [It’s] super tasty as well!” wrote Fann.
