The Chinese New Year Edition

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

The LJ Vernus team took some time off on Wednesday, 25 February 2015 for a hearty CNY lunch and lo hei session.

Also known as the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, this major festival is celebrated by all Chinese around the world to mark the turn of a new year in the Chinese calendar. It is usually accompanied by a lo hei session, which is the tradition of ‘tossing up good fortune’ using Yu Sheng or Raw Fish Salad. Families and friends gather to toss the salad while saying auspicious well wishes out loud to usher in good luck. It is also believed the higher you toss the ingredients in the salad, the greater your fortunes will be.

This year, the team decided to have a lo hei session with a modern twist and held it at Fish and Co instead of the traditional Chinese restaurants.

Check out the snippets below which were taken during our team lunch!

Happy CNY from LJ Vernus!

The usual few and a warm welcome to our newest team member, Elynn, who is our in-house paralegal.

A typical lo hei salad consists of; white and green radish, carrots, capsicum, turnips, red pickled ginger, slices of raw salmon, prawns, crackers, topped with fragrant dressing of plum sauce, five spice powder and sesame oil.

Happy Holidays everyone

As 2014 comes to a close, we'd like to take a moment to reflect and count our blessings. It has been a tumultuous year due to many shocking events that took place all over the world. However, the human spirit is resilient and we have managed to survive these losses and look forward to a new year.

LJ Vernus would just like to thank our family, friends and colleagues for all the support they've shown this year. Granted, we might have only met for a brief while at a conference or we have only communicated via the phone and email, but each and every one of you are important in helping us pave our way to success.

We hope that 2014 have been a good year for you and we look forward to creating more meaningful relationships with not only family and friends, but also to our business partners.

With that, we'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Happy National Day Singapore!

Home is where the heart is!

To all Singaporeans, and not forgetting those who are abroad, have a wonderful National Day. We hope you're looking forward to the parade and fireworks tomorrow!
