Not long ago, we celebrated Deepavali and Christmas, and now, Chinese New Year and Hari Raya are on the horizon. While these festivities are typically joyous occasions, some individuals express hesitation about reuniting with family and relatives due to internal conflicts. In situations where negativity implies the need to sever ties, family relationships challenge this notion. With Chinese New Year coinciding with the start of the new year, does it offer an opportunity to foster peace amid familial conflicts? Or do people persist in gathering despite underlying problems? In this episode, the Hush girls delve into navigating family reunions amidst ongoing conflicts. They share personal experiences dealing with such situations and explore strategies for a drama-free new year.

When it comes to housing, most of us Singaporeans naturally consider HDB flats as one of our top choices for a future home.
