Local celebrities ushering in Year of the Ox with ox-picious greetings
The Year of the Ox is ushered in relatively quietly due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, we are still blessed with various Instagram updates from local celebrities sharing ox-picious well-wishes with their fans and a peek into their Chinese New Year outfits.

Still dressed in his pyjamas, Elvin Ng made sure to remind everyone to keep to eight per household as he jokingly shared that he had unfortunately not made “the #privilegedlist of #8 for any household!

Sharing a family photo with actor husband Edmund Chen, son Chen Yi Xi, and daughter Chen Yi Xin, Xiang Yun wishes everyone a happy and healthy Chinese New Year ahead, ending the caption with an auspicious “Huat ah”.
