No Boyfriend/Girlfriend Mask for a Less Awkward Chinese New Year in SG

No Boyfriend/Girlfriend Mask for a Less Awkward Chinese New Year in SG

Talk to the mask.

With the Chinese New Year festivities around the corner, we can start looking forward to good food, reuniting with beloved family and friends, and receiving red packets. It is also the time when we are subjected to awkward conversations and #nofilter probing questions during our visits. Still single? Standby for the “no boyfriend/girlfriend yet?” quandary. Married folks are not spared either, as the “any plans for children?” stinker lurks nearby and ready to catch you off guard.

Thanks to the ingenious folks behind Singaporean store Wheniwasfour, those sick of being interrogated can now let their masks do the talking instead. Enter the no boyfriend/girlfriend mask from Singapore.

This mask helps to answer one of the most commonly asked questions during Chinese New Year for singles. Translated to “Gong Xi Fa Cai. I do not have a boyfriend, I do not have a girlfriend”, those who are unsure of how to answer or dodge this question would simply need to point to the mask and slink away after. Problem solved!

A mask for every awkward question

Along with the no boyfriend/girlfriend mask, Wheniwasfour also has you covered for other pesky curveballs that are usually thrown at you during Chinese New Year.

This one reads “Gong Xi Fa Cai. I do not intend to have children yet.” Simple, succinct and perfect for silencing those who cannot seem to keep their heads out of our personal marital business.

COVID-19 may also have been a dampener on your plans to tie the knot with your intended. To help you get the message across, this mask reads ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai. I’m not married yet”. It also helps to hide any uneasy expression you may have behind the mask.

As we enter into our first COVID-19 Chinese New Year, these masks do the dual job of keeping you and your loved ones safe while adding a touch of humour and joy to the celebrations, starting with the no boyfriend/girlfriend mask in Singapore. Here’s hoping that we would return to days when we won’t need masks during our visitations during Chinese New Year.
