Celebrating CNY with WeBest at 29 Reserve

As Chinese New Year wraps up, I wanted to share some moments from WeBest’s celebration that really captured what this season is all about. The celebration happened just before CNY at their 29 Reserve Show Gallery, which also served as the venue for unveiling their new Type B9 showroom.

What really stood out from the start was the art exhibition lining the walkway to the show unit. Local artists had their ink paintings and calligraphy on display, including work by Everlyn Tai. I’ve admired her pieces for a while, and her featured oil painting of a brown horse with forelegs raised, head turned back, full of energy and movement, was perfect for the Year of the Horse. The other artists contributed beautiful works too, with spring motifs and elegant florals that captured the season’s spirit. It was refreshing to see art and property events blend together so well.

Things kicked off with official speeches and a cheque presentation to SMJK Tinggi Cina Melaka, followed by the director LyDia and VVIPs hitting the drums to open the celebration. Right after, the Pay Fong Middle School’s 24 Festive Drums team jumped in with their performance and the energy was incredible.

Once the opening wrapped up, Chinese music filled the space as guests mingled over refreshments. A vocalist, pianist, and pipa/erhu player kept the atmosphere lively. Ms. Pek, a talented calligrapher was also at her booth writing auspicious words like 喜樂, 家, 和順, 福 etc. in beautiful gold ink on red paper for guests to take home. It was fascinating watching her work.

Beyond the performances, the show gallery was also beautifully decorated for the occasion, with CNY installations like goldfish displays bringing the festive atmosphere to life, complementing the spring-themed art exhibition along the walkway. Guests could wander around enjoying the games set up throughout, or take their time touring the new showroom.

Thanks to LyDia for continuing to trust me with these moments, from her family gatherings and portraits to her company events now. And to her team for all the coordination and support. I remember LyDia was worried about the weather in the days leading up, with all the drizzling and gloomy skies. But the day itself turned out sunny. A good sign for the year ahead!
