Chinese New Year Superstitions And Practices That Fortune Tellers Actually Follow

It’s not just about spring cleaning and wearing red for good luck.

Chinese New Year Superstitions And Practices That Fortune Tellers Actually Follow

Don’t sweep the floor on the first day of Chinese New Year. Don’t wear black. Don’t do this, don’t do that. CNY isn’t just about stuffing your face with pineapple tarts in wild abandon (diet, huat diet?). It’s also about adhereing to the numerous CNY superstitions and practices for good luck and all that jazz, as pantang parents have reminded their kids over the years. But which ones do the fortune tellers and fengshui masters themselves follow? If the experts abide by these rules, that means confirm huat, right?

Can you really sleep anywhere at Changi Airport? A recent photo showing several people sleeping on the floor at Changi Airport sparked discussion online, with many wondering whether it’s actually allowed. So we asked Changi Airport directly. According to Changi Airport Group, passengers may rest or sleep at the airport, but they should do so in designated rest areas and seating zones, and in a way that does not obstruct walkways, public spaces, airport operations or the movement of other travellers. Airport staff may approach passengers and ask them to move if they’re creating an obstruction or safety concern. Changi Airport also offers designated Snooze Lounges in the transit area and transit hotels for passengers with long layovers looking for a more comfortable overnight stay. Here’s what you need to know before planning to catch some sleep at one of the world’s busiest airports ✈️ #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #Singapore #ChangiAirport #Travel

Remember when Singapore flags seemed to fill almost every HDB block in the lead-up to National Day? A recent social media post showing an HDB estate with almost no Singapore flags on display got people wondering if hanging the national flag has become a fading tradition. Curious, we decided to check a few HDB blocks ourselves. In some of the estate we visited, we could count the number of Singapore flags hung per block on one hand. Of course, displaying the Singapore flag has always been voluntary, and our observations aren’t representative of every neighbourhood in Singapore. But it does raise an interesting question: are fewer Singaporeans choosing to put up the flag today, or does it simply feel that way? With National Day approaching and Singapore celebrating SG60, we explore why the simple act of hanging the national flag still sparks conversation. What does your HDB block look like this year? Are your neighbours flying the Singapore flag, or has this National Day tradition quietly changed over time? #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #NationalDay2026 #NDP #SingaporeFlag
