This year, it’s all about red, red and more reds! *curtsies*
If you’re wondering what’s the crimson brouhaha about, please allow me to explain.
The Chinese believe that red symbolizes good fortune and joy. This is why you see red hues everywhere during Chinese festivals. My mom always says it’s a very auspicious color and if I wear red on the first few days of the Lunar New Year, I’ll “huat” (prosper) all year round.
Even though we barely scratched the surface of 2016, it has already been a very rewarding year with our Disney-themed wedding being featured in major news outlets such as Refinery29, Metro, The Knot and many more.
Not to forget my Creme Simon interview on Channel 8 (which you can watch here). I can’t thank everyone enough for the amazing opportunities.
And of course, I would definitely love to extend the lifespan of my good fortune. 😛
So to amp up the ‘huat’ factor in the Year of the Fire Monkey, I wore wine red dresses, scarlet lips and even donned cherry lashes for our holiday gatherings! Haha!
Click to revel in the good fortune too! 😀

Chinese New Year Eve – Reunion Dinner
What’s your favourite CNY delicacy? Mine’s indisputably – Bak Kwa!
The generous folks at Blackbox.sg sent this delicious bak kwa over and even went the extra mile by printing my name on the box!
What better way to celebrate the Spring Festival than with a personalised box of bak kwa?
