January - February 2025
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR
As we ushered in the Year of the Snake, we extended our warmest wishes to all our colleagues who celebrated this special occasion. This year symbolizes strength, wisdom, and success, qualities that resonated deeply with our journey at APUDG.
Chinese New Year had always been a time of reunion and togetherness, values that aligned with our APUDG spirit. The Chinese New Year & Yee Sang Celebration was a memorable event where staff gathered to toss Yee Sang, symbolising prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. The event featured delicious festive treats, vibrant decorations, and a spirit of camaraderie that strengthened our bonds. It was heartwarming to see everyone come together to celebrate and share joyful moments.
We hoped that the Year of the Snake brought prosperity, happiness, and good health to all!
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
