Get 'No Boyfriend/Girlfriend' and 'Not Married' face masks to fend off kaypoh relatives and their questions this CNY
AsiaOne ^ | JANUARY 21, 2021 | Melissa Teo

With the ongoing pandemic, this year's Chinese New Year celebrations will be quite different from what we are used to. Other than sticking to the eight-person rule during gatherings and using e-hongbaos instead of physical red packets, we'll all have to don a face mask while visiting family and friends.

Well, there's a silver lining to the mask-wearing if you are dreading being grilled by kaypoh relatives about your relationship status — you have the answer for them on your mask before the question comes if you get these ones from homegrown brand wheniwasfour.

Designed for Chinese New Year, these masks have phrases like "Happy new year. I do not have a boyfriend, I do not have a girlfriend" printed on the front of the mask in Chinese.

For those who are constantly being asked when the wedding bells are, consider getting the mask with "Happy new year. I still do not want to get married" on its front.

For couples who are married without a little one, there is also a mask for you that says "Happy new year, I still do not want to have a child".

If you are blessed with relatives who know how to mind their own business, wheniwasfour has other themed masks that can help you jazz up your Chinese New Year #OOTD.

For instance, a bak kwa mask that looks similar to our favourite but very heaty Chinese New Year snack.

What a way to make masks even more fun.

Kaypoh means nosy.

Let’s think of ideas for the entrepreneurs in the burgeoning Chinese mask message market. How about these:

“Non-Christian, so do not encamp me”
“Harris/Biden 2020”
“COVID-21 Trial Subject”
“I survived Tienneman Square and all I got was this mask”
“One-Child Policy Survivor”
“15-cent Minimum Wage!!!”
“Nike”

How about we wear tee shirts with the messages and start breathing again?

Wonder how this would be written in Chinese and in a form socially acceptable to elderly family members.

Kaypoh 雞婆 means chicken/hen woman.

This ChiCom wokester is using what should be sexist language in their world.
