The 45-year-old, who’s pregnant with her second child, took to her Instagram to document a sweet moment she shared with her firstborn, a three-year-old daughter named Olethea.

As it turns out, the mother-daughter duo had taken a trip to the zoo together for some bonding time, before Baby Number 2’s arrival in March.

“Just you and me today, my darling. Life has been so hectic in the past years, and it is not often that we take a breather to slow down to enjoy each other’s company.

Even though mama is often tired in my 3rd trimester, I always enjoy spending quality time with you, doing all the little things in our daily life. Showering you, feeding you, reading to you as you fall asleep every night, you have taught me that the joy of motherhood comes from bonding with your child.

Before your sister arrives in a few weeks, I want you to always remember that you were the first special blessing to arrive in my life. Thank you for being a good girl, and for all the love and support that you give to me everyday. I love you, my Baby O,” Constance wrote in her caption.

“Syiok and feeling good when family members share similar interest. Spending part of the weekend testing camera shots.

But it just doesn’t happen that way. Parents and kids must put in lots of effort over the years. Kids learn from parents and parents learn from kids. We’re not a perfect family but it’s worth trying towards perfection. Insya’ALLAH (sic),” wrote Suhaimi.

Everyone, we hope you’re taking notes!

The singer’s latest single, ‘I’m Fine’, which was released on February 19, has been doing very well. So well, in fact that it’s “performed best out of any of my previous releases”, as Nathan shared in a caption.

So what’s the song about?

“'I’m Fine' is my response to the question “How Are You?”. We answer it so simply, while an entire universe stirs within us. There’s always so much more to the story, but we rarely tell it,” Nathan went on to share.

News that the veteran actor had passed away on February 27 sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. The 70-year-old was reported to have had surgery recently after being diagnosed with liver cancer, and was also undergoing chemotherapy.

Soon enough, tributes from our local celebs began pouring in, including one from Apple Hong, who’d last met with the actor in 2019.

“I never expected that our chance reunion during Chinese New Year in 2019 would be our last meeting. That day, you came over to greet me, and I saw that you looked visibly thinner, and almost didn’t recognise you. I even said that you’ve become more handsome, and hoped to work with you again.

Uncle Tat, I’ll always remember the care you showed me, as a newcomer, when we were filming Zui Wu Di in Hengdian, China all those years ago. I’ll always remember how dedicated you were to your craft, and how willing you were to share your expertise with us while filming [SPH Mediawork’s sitcom] Money No Problem, and the happy times we shared when getting food and durian after filming had ended. I’ll always remember you, who was so good [to us], rest in peace,” she wrote.
