I’ve followed this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-setup-postfix-on-ubuntu-14-04 step by step and tested sending my email from my gmail to both hello@getjio.sg and felix@getjio.sg. But the emails could not be delivered.
I have added hello@getjio.sg felix in sudo /etc/postfix/virtual step.
Could it be because I did not add any MX records?

yup. You need to add MX records. Probably works if you send it via a local account to hello@localhost
A protip is to also add rDNS for your server. That reduces the risk to your emails being marked as spam by other servers (like Gmail for example)
