Singapore — Christmas is the perfect time to express gratitude to the people in our lives, from exchanging greetings and gifts to hosting lavish dinners. Even if you are not a traditionalist.
More than sequins and sparkles, it’s also about spending time with loved ones, welcoming new members of the family, becoming “pawrents,” and contributing to the community. Even if you’re a celebrity.
See what Fann Wong, Rui En, and Cheryl Wee got up to on Christmas Day!
Azura Goh
Ria 89.7 radio DJ Azura shared a medley of popular Christmas carols on Instagram, with friends and fellow DJs Hazelle Teo and Germaine Tan singing along against a backdrop of the trio’s travels sparking fond memories of road trips with friends.
Chantalle Ng
The actor celebrated the holiday season with a new hairstyle. She showed it off in an Instagram video of herself singing Christmas Time Is Here.
Chantalle, whose role as My Vietnamese Bride on Channel 8 is still being talked about, is the daughter of veteran Channel 8 actress Lin Meijiao and former actor Huang Yiliang.
On the same post, her mother writes: “Please sing more, love to hear you sing.”
Charlotte Mei
Charlotte’s Christmas post on Instagram welcomes a new member into her family, this adorable feline, Loki.
A trained nutritionist, the French-Chinese media personality is both host and resident nutritionist with the Asian Food Channel.
Her website, where she is described as “currently based in Singapore” shows the varied spread of her services as a nutritionist and actor-host-presenter-producer. Whew! She must be awfully busy this season.
Chen Yixin
On Instagram, Yixin and her cats Miwa and Mugi cuddle with Gavin Chong (notice the matching Christmas T-shirts?). Yixin, daughter of Mediacorp veteran actors Edmund Chen and Xiang Yun. Back in August, Yixin had told 8 Days that she and singer-actor Gavin had been dating “quite a while already”.
Cheryl Wee
It was a busy and exciting Christmas for actor-turned-entrepreneur Cheryl, husband Roy Fong and family, as they hopped on and off buses in Singapore to visit Christmas Wonderland and Universal Studios.
It’s extra special this year because they’ve welcomed Elly into their family. Take a look at their sweet smiles and adorable PJs on her Instagram post!
Daughter of Jean Yip of the well-known beauty and wellness group, Cheryl runs her own wellness business.
Constance Lau
Constance revealed a hidden talent for lipsyncing while holding a remote control and a Dyson hairdryer in her other hand on one of her Instagram videos. An amusing and dramatic video of the Crazy Rich Asians actress singing Celine Dion’s It’s all coming back to me now has been posted online, complete with the wind-in-the-hair moment.
Elvin Ng
Not quite in his birthday suit, Elvin is seen here in singlet and shorts for a double celebration of his birthday (Dec 23) and Christmas. The relaxed smile he wears in his Instagram post telegraphs that the Mediacorp artiste is having a swell “me time”. No script needed.
Fann Wong
Fann Wong’s Instagram post was all about spending quality time with her son Zed, seven, while her husband, award-winning actor-singer-host Christopher Lee was in Taiwan filming (he’s going to be gone for nine months!).
This mother-son duo shared Christmas cake and cuddles. Fann is still a working actor but has scaled back her acting for a much more important role as Mom.
Rui En
On Instagram, multiple award-winning actress Rui En looks forward to gifting care packages to 400 beneficiaries from her and her fan club, RBKD. They worked with Beyond Social Services, a non-profit group that aids needy households in Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Ho Swee, Bukit Merah, Ghim Moh, Henderson, Lengkok Bahru, Stirling Road Whampoa.
Rui En and her fans clearly care about the children who received their gifts, and we’re sure they felt it!
Tabitha Nauser
This picture on an Instagram post captures the close bonds of singer Tabitha, boyfriend Louie, and their furkids. If you think that it’s a cinch to take this shot, you try coaxing multiple pets to take part in a group photoshoot.
We wish you all a happy and SAFE new year!
