Hari Raya Celebrations To Maternity Shoots: What Local Celebs Did This Week
And a happy birthday to Joanne Peh!
It was the Hari Raya Aidilfitri weekend and the celebs (including Nadiah M. Din and Nurul Aini) had been posting photos of family get-togethers. Spending time with the family was also on the top of the minds of Pan Ling Ling, Sheila Sim and Carla Dunareanu. Scroll down to see more of what other local celebs did this week.
Actress and entrepreneur Nadiah M. Din and her family were all smiles for a Raya family photo; swipe through the carousel post to see how she “struggled for a decent photo with four kids [who are] under 5.” We had a good laugh because it’s too real!
Also celebrating Raya 2023 was Nurul Aini and her family who were all clad in blue Baju Melayu and Baju Kurung in different shades and prints.
Ling Ling and her hubby Shinan were invited to a private dining experience at Little Social. According to the actress, the dress code was “dress to impress”, and boy did she deliver a beautiful look, donning a traditional Peranakan kebaya that totally reminded us of her role in Channel 8 drama The Little Nyonya.
What a sweet mum! Sheila shared in her Instagram caption that her first-born Layla Woo asked to go to the beach, and voila - “she gets the beach”. The family of four spent some time on the shores of East Coast Beach, with Layla having fun with the sand, and baby Skyla, well, having a blissful nap.
Also bringing the young one out was Carla who brought her six-week-old son (whom she affectionately calls “bubs”) to the waterfall at Jewel. Instead of admiring the magnificent view, the baby drifted to slumberland. Totally normal!
TV host and screen personality Amanda posted some photos from her maternity shoot which showed off her beautiful baby bump. She and musician Jonathan Chua are set to welcome their firstborn in June.
Yvonne had a get-together with her industry pals including Zheng Geping, Hong Hui Fang, Chen Hanwei, and Mark Lee to throw Mark’s wife’s a belated birthday celebration.
The birthday girl (25 April) had an early celebration with fellow actor Elvin Ng, and she “forced” the latter to sing her a birthday song. Elvin happily obliged and sang her a short version softly.
