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

The past week was very important for Singaporeans as we took to the polls to cast our ballots for #GE2020. While most celebs were content with posting shots of themselves with their polling slips, Quan Yifeng (that's her looking a little like a beekeeper) went the extra mile by showing off her COVID-19 battle gear. Then there was Sharon Au who jetted back from Paris just in time to vote. Now that's what it means to be Singaporean.

Quan Yifeng geared up for #GE2020

"I heard that everyone was queuing to vote. I was really afraid, and wanted to ensure the safety of everyone at home," wrote Yifeng. "I prepared a pen, a hat, mask, [sun]glasses, earplugs, gloves [and] sanitiser. I planned to spray [sanitiser all over myself] from the moment I stepped out of the car [till] I got back home. Why do I feel like I was farming instead of voting?"
Better to be safe than to be sorry, we guess?

Sharon Au returned home just in time to vote

Looks like Paris-based Sharon is back in Singapore — though it's not sure if she's back just to vote or if she has work commitments.
She posted this snap from her hotel room, where she is currently undergoing her mandatory two-week SHN. The former host wrote: "The election team went from room to room for us under quarantine to vote. Proud to be a Singaporean."
Welcome home!

Ase Wang finally got hitched after COVID-19 delayed her big day

Phoon Huat scion and model-entrepreneur Ase Wang was supposed to register her marriage with Thailand-based entrepreneur Jon Lor on March 31, but their plans were waylaid because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On July 8, she finally became Mrs. Lor after the couple registered their marriage in Bangkok. She shared that their respective families were unable to make it to the event, but that there will be wedding ceremonies in Singapore and New York in the future.
Congratulations!

Edmund Chen and Xiang Yun have a new kid

Meet Miwa, the newest — and cutest — addition to the Chen family. Edmund Chen, Xiang Yun, Chen Yixi and Chen Yixin all took photos with the kitten which they recently adopted.
According to the kitten's Instagram account (yes, they've already started one for her), she's named Miwa because of the huge M on her forehead. Too cute.
