The Chinese New Year is a Spring Festival 春节, a new year to invite new beginnings and start another year with a new slate. It’s a chance to spring clean the house (and mentally), declutter the mess and sweep away the all the negative energy and welcome good luck, good health and prosperity into your home and your life.

The Chinese New Year festivity calls a lot of house visits and feasting. Many would opt for soft drinks when entertaining your guests at your home during the Chinese New Year. In view of PM Lee’s National Day 2017 speech, we should refrain from drinking drinks that highly intoxicated with a huge amount of sugar!
