Lydia Lee - Senior HR Specialist
I love bakkwa and the round pineapple balls! I find the usual pineapple tart a bit too sweet (don’t come for me)
Welp I am clashing with the Tai Sui, so I just hope to get through the year safely!
This year, I plan to celebrate CNY with the usual visiting & running around relatives’ places!
Jean Ho - Talent & Operations Executive
My favourite CNY snack has to be pineapple tarts but without the jam. Don’t judge me!!
According to my Chinese zodiac readings, my health luck isn’t the best this year, so I’ll need to be extra mindful of my diet. But overall, it’s shaping up to be a good year!
As always, I’ll visit relatives, collect red packets, and enjoy some mahjong and card games. I’m also planning to visit more friends’ homes this year since a few of them got married and moved into new houses
Deeksha Bhatnagar - Finance Manager
This year, I’ll be celebrating CNY with my family and visiting friends for dinner gatherings, enjoying traditional foods and good company while soaking in the warmth and joy of the season. I absolutely love dumplings and pineapple tarts during CNY—dumplings symbolize wealth and prosperity, and the sweet, buttery tarts are simply irresistible!
As for the year ahead, I’m hoping for growth and new opportunities. I plan to embrace change, take on challenges, and make meaningful progress both personally and professionally.
Rocco Ahuja - Corporate Secretarial Consultant
My favourites are pineapple tarts & bak kwa.
My aspiration is to maintain & focus on mental, physical & emotional well-being.
I may spend some days in Malaysia driving checking out the countryside, visiting a spa & enjoying some yummy local food.
Lou Yilin - Finance Associate
One of the dishes I love most is Yu Sheng, it's a vibrant and flavourful dish typically enjoyed during Chinese New Year celebrations. The combination of fresh ingredients and the act of tossing the salad together symbolizes good fortune and prosperity for the year ahead.
Based on my zodiac predictions, Rabbits can expect steady progress and growth in 2025. While challenges may arise, they will be faced with ease and handled effortlessly.
Lots of house visits! Hanging out with family, friends and indulging in a feast.
