So many CNY-related posts this week! Looks like we're kicking off the Year of the Tiger with a roar indeed. Read on to find out what our celebs got up to apart from CNY visiting.

Suhaimi Yusof wants everyone to… grab the tiger by its ears this year?

Forget about grabbing the bull by its horns (that’s so last year), this year’s all about… grabbing the tiger by its ears, okay?

Thomas Ong turned 53… and got a little pensive about it

“I remember when I first entered showbiz, a magazine asked: “After you turn 50, what do you hope to see yourself doing at that age? How much money would you have?”

If my memory serves me right, the Little Ong at that time [answered]: “Haha, I probably won’t be around anymore after I turn 50! Why would I think about something that’s so far off?”

As confused and muddleheaded as I was, unknowingly, I’m now 53 years old.

I’ve spent more time in Singapore these few years, and I’ve been lucky to have known many benefactors and friends in this period, I’m truly grateful. If all goes well, even my last wish will be fulfilled in the next few months, and by then, I’ll truly become carefree and worry-free,” he wrote in his caption.

Hmm… wonder what his last wish is.

Chantalle Ng joined the original singer, Jocie Guo, to cover the theme song for My Star Bride

As Chantalle shared in her caption on IG, the collaboration came about after she reached out to Jocie to check if the singer "was open to cover the theme song for [My Star Bride] together".

"A huge thanks to [Jocie] for being such a sport. When I saw you in real life, I couldn't believe I actually found the courage to reach out. I've listened to all your music and I'm a great fan. To be able to sing with you is an absolute honour," Chantalle wrote in her caption.

Ase Wang perfectly illustrated the struggles of trying to take a picture with a baby

"Ok, I think every family can relate to these series of pics. Family pics are the hardest to get with with the classic arch back move we all dread so much," the actress-model wrote in her caption.

But hey, at least the final picture looks really good, right?

Kelly Latimer's five-year-old daughter Sienna got her COVID jab

"Dose 1 done. Cried a little bit, but the staff and volunteers at Marine Parade CC vaccination centre were BRILLIANT - quickly whipped out some gummies and patiently reassured her," Kelly wrote.

She added: "I know some parents are hesitating to vaxx their kids, but we plan to travel and we felt we ought to give her some protection. Luca got antibodies through my breastmilk, so Sienna was the only one without any protection. To vaxx your kids or not is a huge talking point, and this is our decision."

Little Sienna sure is one brave girl!
