As we ease into the Chinese New Year festivities in Singapore, thoughts of gathering with our loved ones come to mind: the piping hot hotpot, fragrant festive delights… you get the gist. For the kids, they might be excited to receive angbaos and playing with their cousins. While revelling in the hearty atmosphere, it can be easy to forget that there are others who do not have this luxury.
But not for this family, at least, who went the extra mile to distribute packets of drink to community workers in their neighbourhood.
“Spread Kindness,” wrote mummy Angie Sim (@lifestinymiracles) in her instagram post.
“Even as we prepare to feast on good food and the warmth of family, we want our children to remember those who are working extra hard this season but do not have their loved ones beside them in Singapore.”
According to Angie, her husband David and children—Dana and Buddy—had set off early last Sunday, 19 January 2020, to send some festive cheer to the unsung heroes in their neighbourhood.

Construction workers, cleaners and security guards were greeted by Buddy, geared with a dragon “head-wear” handing out packets of milo drinks.
The simple and thoughtful gesture had smiles plastered over the workers’ faces as they edged closer for a photo with the ‘dragon head-wearing kid’.
It was a heartwarming sight to behold.
