    FOR years, Steven Chai and Christine Loh used to be hesitant about inviting family and friends over to their home during Chinese New Year, but not anymore.

    Since they renovated their three-bedroom apartment in 2014, they have been regularly inviting friends over, regardless of whether it is the festive season or not.

    "Renovations were completed in March, so it was past Chinese New Year, but last year, we wasted no time hosting friends, and even had a reunion dinner here," says Ms Loh, a retail operations manager.
