Happy Chinese New Year!

28 January 2017 in DIARY, HONG KONG

With Christmas just wrapping up in December, it’s now time for the next festive season: Chinese New Year! In Hong Kong, this is the biggest event of the year and after spending a couple of Chinese New Years here, I’m still amazed to witness the entire bustling city slow down and take a break.

Hong Kong is incredible in its boundless energy and speed, so it’s quite fascinating to me when plenty of shops close and everyone takes a break from work, school and life in general and the festive spirit is just everywhere.

Before I continue with this post, I wanted to wish everyone who celebrates this season a happy Chinese New Year! May the year of the Rooster bring you much happiness, good health and prosperity! :) 新年快樂!祝大家身體健康,心想事成,笑口常開!:)

I’ve captured some fun snapshots of Chinese New Year decorations in Hong Kong and I really liked them, so I wanted to share! Hope you enjoy. :)

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! 💫 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. 😊

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. 😊 It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. 🌻

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. 💖
🍀 February 2022 🌻 *Feb was such a full month 🍀 February 2022 🌻
*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. 😊 Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 🌟
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies 💗
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! 😄 Ending the month with a thankful heart.
