Feng Shui expert Stephanie McConaughey shares guidance on preparing for the Lunar New Year transition from the year of the wood snake to the year of the fire horse on 17 February. The fire horse year symbolises intensity, speed and momentum, requiring presence and clarity to capitalise on opportunities. McConaughey's viral list of 40 items to release before the new year includes clothes from past identities, expired makeup, digital clutter like screenshots, guilt-inducing gifts, and sentimental children's items, with the framework of asking whether your future abundant self would keep each item.

Thai-style pineapple fried rice combines sweet, savoury and spicy flavours in a visually stunning dish served in a hollowed-out pineapple shell. The recipe uses leftover jasmine rice, turmeric or curry powder for colour, fresh pineapple, prawns, vegetables, roasted cashews and fried shallots, seasoned with fish sauce and soy sauce. TV personality Brendan Pang demonstrates the technique from his cookbook 'This is a Book About Rice', emphasising the importance of using day-old rice and having all ingredients prepared before cooking in a hot wok.
