Happy New Year!

There aren't many more appropriate ways to welcome the New Year than to be at some place new. Many of our personalities took full use of the holiday season to travel to places familiar, as well as discover places anew. Thankfully,  none of them wasted the oppurtunity to grab stunning, and sometimes sombre photographs. Puan Sri Dato' Habibah Yusoff captured the spectacular fireworks display at the Burj Khalifa, while Tunku Khairul Naquiyuddin got funky in Las Vegas. Also on their travels were Bryan Loo and a big group of friends, who visited Japan, while Jovian Mandagie and his wife Nina Ismail Sabri took the oppurtunity to go on a pilgrimage.

Here is a compilation of some of their Instagrams posts.
