The Body Shop Malaysia’s marketing manager Daryl Foong is a fan of structure and familiarity. Not many changes for this 28-year-old – except for one thing: he recently got engaged to his girlfriend, Melissa – and he likes the routine of tradition, saying that his family will do “the usual” for Chinese New Year.
“We’ll be going back to my family hometown in Ipoh, having our reunion dinner, visiting relatives and overeating,” Foong says. “That’s the great thing about festive traditions and New Year. There’s the comfort of consistency.”
