00:07The pineapple tarts are served but are your answers ready?
00:10It's CMY soon which means open season on your personal life
00:14We're asking Singaporeans what they love and what they're dodging this festive season
00:18Let's go!
00:20What's your favourite Chinese New Year snack?
00:22You know the green pea?
00:23Bapua?
00:24Pineapple tarts I guess
00:25Do you like the round one or the flat one?
00:27I think the round one
00:28Some people know
00:29Maybe there are priorities that are
00:30Are you getting married soon?
00:32That kind of thing
00:32Do you experience that?
00:33I think mama is just boyfriend
00:34Like eh you got boyfriend
00:35Yeah I feel stressed when I hear this kind of question
00:39I also don't know how they answer also
00:40There's a bit of like comparison between families
00:44I think that's like a bit unavoidable
00:45Actually I used to not really enjoy it
00:48Like I would be anxious
00:49I always thought that people like my sibling more
00:52Now I think I have grown and I'm excited to like really bond more
00:58Mostly the relatives will ask me like questions like
01:01Oh how's school?
01:02How's your education?
01:04What is going on in your life right now?
01:05Any boyfriend, new girlfriend or something?
01:07So it's quite pressuring to hear that from the adults mostly
01:10Do you have any advice if you have for anybody that's stressed about Chinese New Year?
01:14I feel like if something makes you happy
01:17You don't have to care if anyone doesn't agree
01:20Collect your empaos
01:21Try your best to enjoy the Chinese New Year
01:22Whoever is your friends, your family
01:24Whatever it is
01:25Eat good food
01:26Sing good Chinese music
01:28Oh yeah
01:28Answer everything truthfully
01:29So if they try and probe more
01:31Then you can also like kind of like play with them
01:33For example if they ask you like
01:34Why aren't you like taken?
01:36You can always ask them like
01:37Oh like do you have anyone to recommend?
01:39Don't take it too hard
01:40You know just take it at face value
01:42And just understand that ultimately
01:44They're just trying to chat with the intention of being like concerned
01:48So I guess we all have different ways
01:50To deal with the stress of big family gatherings
01:52How do you deal with the CNY scaries?
01:54Let us know in the comments below
01:56Bye!
