Welcoming The Year Of The Tiger!


So what have the lovely peepz at Kuok Foundation House been up to in welcoming the Lunar New Year of the Tiger?
The RAs and RAd @ Kuok had the pleasure of celebrating Chinese New Year (CNY) last Thursday, the 11th of February with the Kuok family. Thank you to all residents who made the evening a very memorable one! We discovered so many talents that night!

Well, we discovered talented dumpling chefs,

Hard at work, perfecting the skills of dumpling folding,
Needless to say some residents were already experts and taught us how to fold the dumplings nicely!


Our RAd Ms Geraldine Lee was handing out Lucky red packets with gold coins for all residents that evening! Gotten yours yet?
What's cooking @ the Dumpling station


We met new Mahjong Kakis (Singlish for buddies),

Level 6 RA Eunice, making sure that RAs were not bullying the newbies @ mahjong :)

We also watched Stephen Chow's fighting skills in Kung Fu hustle and munched on CNY goodies the night through.




Tan Jo must have been amazed at what he saw on Kung Fu Hustle while Liu Feng smiles for the camera :)
Residents were even invited to share their calligraphy prowess at the writing station :)
We had a wonderful time and fun memories of tossing Yu Sheng (Fish Salad) and basically just hanging out one last time before many of us set off on our little trips back for CNY celebrations with family and friends.
Do you know the significance of the Yu Sheng Salad dish & toss? From what I know, it's a practice of the Cantonese people (for more information on its significance, refer here - it was the website I was referring to in the video)
Thanks loves for a great time :)
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Have a wonderful time celebrating the year of the tiger! May the year bring you great fortune, good health and good luck!


With Love,
