Tatlergrams of the Week: #CNY2016

Happy Lunar New Year of the Fire Monkey, everyone!

A quick check on Instagram reveals that our socialites haven't wasted any time in maximising the festive occasion. Society sweethearts like Yap Po Leen and Yong Mei Fong looked the very vision of Oriental princesses dressed in traditional cheongsams. Others like Lim Ai San and Celest Thoi got their entire families to dress in matching outfits for the auspicious occasions. Similarly, Dr Nick Boden and Bryan Loo are also in on the festivities, sharing with us precious family photos from their respective celebrations laden with good wishes, angpaus and prosperous splashes of red.

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone from all of us here at Malaysia Tatler!
