Chinese New Year without Hong Baos

January 30, 2012 dinner event

I miss a lot of things about Singapore, but one thing I’ve been missing, especially during this Chinese New Year season, is the hong baos.

January 19, 2012 dinner event

Some people caution parents of young kids never to waste time and money on exotic travels. I think there’s some truth in it.
