Our favourite local celeb ice bucket challenge videos

SINGAPORE – If you haven’t heard of the ice bucket challenge by now, you are probably either living in a bat cave, or are blissfully spared from the banal humdrum of the interwebs.

SINGAPORE – If you haven’t heard of the ice bucket challenge by now, you are probably either living in a bat cave, or are blissfully spared from the banal humdrum of the interwebs.

It’s a fairly simple idea. The ice bucket challenge aims to raise funds for research into Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and requires participants to film themselves pouring a bucket of ice over their heads or donate $100 – although many do both – and then dare three friends to do the same. The challenge has gone viral all around the world, with big-name entrepreneurs and celebrities like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Anna Wintour, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, Andy Lau, Wang Leehom and Jay Chou taking up the challenge, and nominating their equally big-name celebrity friends to do the same, while the rest of us sit back and laugh at them.

Of course, our local celebrities are getting in on the action too. Here are some of our favourites:

Now here’s a class act. Rebecca Lim didn’t just get someone to throw ice over her head, she also gamely donated S$1,310 to the Singapore Cancer Society – although it is, ahem, not quite related to ALS – after pledging to donate 10 cents for every ‘like’ she got on her Instagram post. Besides, who doesn’t like to hear a pretty girl squeal?

Ooh la la, someone’s been working out! Charity and good causes aside, we now know what Bryan Wong has been hiding under his shirt. Tee hee hee.

Who says the ice bucket challenge has to be completed kicking and screaming? Just look how suave Thomas Ong is as he dunks a bucket of ice water over his head and then casually sweeps his damp hair aside. And, erm, is he wearing just his undies?

 

Priscelia Chan: http://iconosquare.com/p/791182190758528423_218294544 (Part One); http://iconosquare.com/p/791190079069947469_218294544 (Part Two)

We liked watching that first bucket of ice and water go over Priscelia Chan’s head. But we loved that second bucket more.

 

Ian Fang: http://iconosquare.com/p/791001830291106824_1048034

Ian Fang may be the dunkee, but it’s really ice-bucket-dunker Cavin Soh who should receive a round of applause – for cheekily stuffing the bucket over Fang’s head after the deed. Nice one, Cavin.

Who knew we could love Xiang Yun more than we already do?
