Why is Everyone Saying “Ho Seh Liao” During Chinese New Year?

Ah, Chinese New Year—the time when every Singaporean household transforms into a bustling hive of activity.

But amidst all these festive traditions, one phrase seems to be on everyone’s lips: “Ho Seh Liao.” But what on earth does “Ho Seh Liao” mean, and why is it suddenly everywhere?

What Does “Ho Seh Liao” Actually Mean?

“飛黃騰達” (fēi huáng téng dá) is a Chinese idiom that means achieving great success, usually after starting from humble beginnings.

In order to preserve the design on your tshirt print, we recommend the following product care guidelines
  • DO NOT DRYCLEAN.
  • Always turn your t-shirt inside out before washing. This reduces the wear-and-tear of the teeshirt printed design and preserves it longer.
  • Wash similar coloured clothes together. This is to prevent colour leeching from dark coloured clothes to light coloured clothes.
  • Wash in cold (30 Degrees Celsius or below) water, either machine wash or by hand. Using hot water might cause printed designs to leech colours.
  • DO NOT BLEACH, avoid using softeners. Bleach can cause colours to run, and softeners may affect vinyl designs print on the teeshirt.
  • Avoid using hot dryers. The high level of heat may cause shrinkage of garments and may affect vinyl designs.
  • When possible, dry your tee shirt under the shade with minimal direct contact with sunlight as prolonged exposure to UV rays will cause colours to fade.
  • Iron on low, and always iron the shirt turned inside out so as not to iron directly on print.
