💃🏼Buy your next CNY Cheongsam in a HDB?🏠

There’s a special charm to a cheongsam made the traditional way — hand-cut, hand-shaped, and sewn with care. Mdm Li of Golden Scissor Cheongsam has spent decades refining that craft, even though she once disliked sewing. Today, her HDB home is where her remaining pieces live, each one reflecting the style and workmanship she’s known for.

If you’ve been thinking of visiting, it’s best to make an appointment in advance as she’s only available during certain months of the year. DM @goldenscissorcheongsam or give them a call to book a slot.

📍Block 32, Telok Blangah Rise (appointment required)

... Read moreVisiting Golden Scissors' HDB unit to explore Mdm Li’s handcrafted cheongsams is truly a special experience. Unlike typical shops, this setting offers a glimpse into the personal space where these beautiful creations come to life. Mdm Li’s journey began in Guangxi, China, where she learned the art of cheongsam-making from her mother at a young age. Though she was initially reluctant, her dedication to the craft has resulted in exquisite, tailor-made garments cherished by clients in Singapore and beyond. The move from Chinatown Complex to her HDB home signifies a more intimate and personal approach to her trade as she plans for retirement. The cheongsams you’ll find here are rich in tradition and quality. Each dress is hand-cut and stitched with precision, reflecting decades of experience and cultural heritage. It’s also fascinating to see how the shop’s setup invites you in—with a warm sign permitting you to keep your shoes on—making the visit comfortable and welcoming. If you’re wondering about pricing, many pieces are available for sale at the HDB unit, which may offer better value than commercial stores. Making an appointment is essential, as Mdm Li’s availability is limited to specific months. Contacting Golden Scissors via their Instagram or phone ensures you can experience this unique shopping journey firsthand. Beyond the dresses, learning about the cultural significance and history behind cheongsam styles adds depth to your visit. For those interested in bespoke or custom-made options, Mdm Li’s expertise makes this a rare opportunity to own an authentic, Singapore-based handmade cheongsam.

Can you buy a house in your 20s?!! 🏠✨
A lot of people assume the answer is automatically no, but in Singapore, it usually comes down to how early you start building wealth and preparing for the downpayment. Most people who manage to buy in their 20s aren’t necessarily earning extraordinary salaries (like me when I bought my first house
