A cohort of celebrated Hong Kong actresses and personalities, known for their deep bond as the collective “SÏXTERS,” recently converged for a lively celebration, marking the 37th birthday of singer and actress Cheronna Ng. The gathering saw five of the six core members—Sisley Choi, Anjaylia Chan, Jeannie Chan, Ng, and Winki Lai—reunite for the festive occasion, which Chan documented on social media, offering a glimpse into the group’s enduring camaraderie despite individual demanding careers.
The close-knit group, comprised of prominent figures in film, television, and music, frequently finds themselves navigating conflicting schedules, making such reunions particularly meaningful. However, the celebrated singer Joyce Ho was noticeably absent due to ongoing professional commitments, underscoring the challenges of aligning the schedules of six high-profile individuals.
SÏXTERS Document Playful Birthday Gathering
Anjaylia Chan shared several candid photographs and short videos capturing the spirit of the event, most notably a session where the friends recreated classic photo booth-style images, embracing playfully and engaging in mock conversations for the camera. Chan’s accompanying caption humorously narrated their attempts to capture “natural” moments during the structured photoshoot.
“Someone suggested we just pretend to talk naturally for the picture—a suggestion I always hear when shooting with this group, yet one I simply cannot master,” Chan wrote, adding that her initial struggle with appearing spontaneous led her friends, specifically Lai and Choi, to playfully intervene to help her look more engaged. She lightheartedly admitted that attempts by her friends to physically prompt her enthusiasm initially felt like “a subtle arm squeeze,” but ultimately underscored the group’s affectionate dynamic.
Enduring Friendships Amid Stardom
The interaction highlights the unique pressure celebrities face in projecting authenticity, even among friends, but ultimately emphasizes the sincerity of their relationships away from the television screen. The core message of the event, however, was encapsulated in Chan’s closing birthday wish: “Most importantly, wishing Cheronna a very happy birthday and eternal youth.”
Lai and Choi, both award-winning dramatic performers, bring a significant level of professional experience to the non-acting members of the group, which also includes models and singers. This varied professional background is often cited by the members as a key element contributing to the robustness of their private support system, offering diverse perspectives on the often-challenging entertainment industry.
These genuine bonds among peers stand as a testament to the importance of maintaining supportive friendships regardless of professional demands. The SÏXTERS’ occasional public gatherings offer fans and industry observers a visible example of sustained personal relationships in an environment often characterized by intense competition and fleeting connections. The photos not only celebrated Ng’s transition into her late-thirties but also affirmed the strength of their collective sisterhood as they continue to navigate their respective successful careers within the demanding Asian entertainment landscape.
