MISSING LOVED ONES
Mr Law and Ms Ng said they miss family gatherings and traditions the most during the holiday marked by reunions.
“It was an activity for (my) family to basically, after our morning visiting with relatives, go down to a hotel and watch the lion dance display,” said Ms Ng, recalling a typical celebration with her loved ones back in Singapore.
Mr Law said: “We take it for granted when we are in the same country for too long. We take it for granted like, ‘Oh, this guy is going to (always) be there, I can always meet this person’.
“But when you are so far away, when you are on the other side of the world, it hits a bit harder than at home.”
The two said while that they miss their loved ones and familiar activities back home, they are grateful to celebrate Chinese New Year festivities with each other and Ms Joy.
They added there will also be lots of video calls with family and friends back home in the days ahead.
