A job well done for the hosts of NDP 2020

Fauzie Laily summed up the whole experience best in his Instagram post, where he penned a super thoughtful and sweet message for his fellow co-hosts Hossan Leong, Joakim Gomez, Suthasini Rajenderan, and Rebecca Lim, as well as his NSF chaperone.
Great job, everyone!

When the dust settles and there's too many people to thank, I thought I'd start with the ones I spent the most time with, week in, week out, till the big day on August 9th. @hossanleong through all the jokes and laughter, you'll always be one I look up to for your passion and professionalism. Every project with you is a valuable lesson for me in my bid to become a better all-round performer. Sifu. 🙏🏻 @joakimgomez JG, the OG of NDP. Watching him go through the rehearsals and show day with calm and clarity, this dude is born to be a presenter. Super proud to see his growth as a respected host. Definitely no longer the geek in the pink. Whoever gets the chance to work with Joakim, trust him to have your back. @suthasini0_0 my first time working with this sweetheart and definitely won't be the last time. Such a happy and positive soul and never fails to come in to work with a smile and spring in her step. Your vibe is infectious Su. The first out of many more I'm sure! @limrebecca I've known this lady for a long time and she has not changed one bit. Always graceful, always down to earth and super sweet and VERY deserving of her Ah Jie status now. She can do no wrong. And last but not least, my chaperone and shadow for 5 weeks, my man @junhaoo__ . Thank you bro for being so hardworking and always looking out for me. The army is definitely lucky to have such a great NSF in their ranks. No matter what you pursue in the future, you'll only achieve great things with your attitude. All 5 of us are very lucky to have five on point chaperones throughout the weeks. Awesome guys! Every single one of you, thank YOU for making my past weekends an awesome and fun affair. My first time as a host and third time as a performer, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I've learnt so much from all of you. ❤️ #NDP2020 #StrongerTogether @ndpeeps 📸: @adisatryajohari

Here's how some of our Taiwan-based local celebs celebrated National Day

"Every year, Taiwan’s Fathers Day and Singapore’s National day falls just a day apart! This year it also happens to be a long weekend which is icing on the cake! Yeah! Happy National Day and Taiwan’s Fathers Day!" wrote Leon Jay Williams, who also posted the sweetest collage of him and his five-year-old daughter, Harper Ann.
Meanwhile, Yvonne got busy in her kitchen again, days after whipping up these adorable Singa the Courtesy Lion pork floss buns. This time, she made a special ondeh-ondeh cake, paying homage to the local sweet treat.

While the Mind Jumper castmates Joanne Peh and James Seah were all matchy-matchy in red and white outfits, the cast of Mr Flower opted for a more colourful theme, as they all hunkered down for a busy day of filming.

Paige Chua got in touch with her artistic side

Earlier this week, the actress started a separate IG account @ourcreativehut, to act as "a virtual hut where art, in all forms is celebrated".
In her caption, she shared that "pottery has been a great addition to my life for the past few years. Its meditative qualities and the creative processes allow me full immersion in the moment", and we're absolutely floored by the gorgeous pottery pieces that she has been sharing on IG so far.

Oh, Momo

What'll we do without the cheeky antics of Shen Momo to brighten up our day? Mama Tay Kewei's video documenting their efforts to get Momo to pose nicely with his younger brother, Xiao Pian Pian, is just plain adorable.

Jaspers Lai diagnosed Kai Ko with a case of the sniffles

In case you haven't heard, this 2014 Kai Ko film was finally released in cinemas last month, after being put in cold storage for six years following the actor's drug scandal. And yes, it's currently showing in local cinemas too. So, to promote the film's local release, Kai sat down with local actor Jaspers Lai for this hilarious mock-interview, where the bewildered Taiwanese actor gamely coughed and sniffled along with "Dr.KEAUK". We love.

Zed Zed's all better now!

It looks like the six-year-old has recovered from his ear infection, which landed him in the hospital earlier this week. In fact, Fann Wong uploaded a video of the determined Zed making his own toy from scratch, following the instructions that came with the materials a few days later.

A blast from the past with Myolie Wu and Linda Chung

The two Hongkong actresses met up for a quick karaoke session recently, reminiscing about their time together in TVB.
"I’m so glad that [2011 drama House of Harmony and Vengeance] brought us together, you are such a sweet, loving kind hearted girl, you deserve everything you have now. Now that we are older and past our crazy working hours back in the days, and you living half way across the world, we still got to sing our first songs together, it’s definitely a moment to remember and we would like to share them with our fans, hope you like them as much as we do," Myolie wrote in her post.
Linda added in her caption: "We were newbies in the the singing industry. Her first song was 'Fortunately' while mine was 'Swear' in the album Lady in Red. 'Fortunately' is my favourite song out of the entire album by the way. After, in 2008 we really became singers and then collaborated in House of Harmony and Vengeance in 2011, which kickstarted our friendship. Here’s a little something for you guys. It feels really cool for me to be in HK again singing my good friends song with her. Memories flow and I’m thankful for the relationship we still have."
Aww... watch the full video below:

Jay Chou pulled out all the stops for Hannah Quinlivan's 27th birthday party.

Remember when Jay gifted Hannah a customised Hermes bag cake (and sent all their celeb pals into a frenzy with their online PDA) for her birthday last year?
Well, he just upped the ante for Hannah's 27th birthday. Since the celeb couple couldn't exactly jet off to another country for a celebration like last year (damn you, COVID-19), Jay threw a "special retro party this time, going back to two different periods — a 60s/70s for the day and a 20s/30s twist for the evening".
A+ for effort.

Yet again, more scammers

When will these scammers quit impersonating celebs? Less than a day after celebs like Jesseca Liu, Dennis Chew and Michelle Chong took to their socials to warn fans of scammers impersonating them online, Rui En's record label and fanclub posted a series of notices urging fans of the actress to beware of a number of fake Facebook accounts. Be careful, everyone!
