Lionel & Vicky had a celebration in sch on Fri & they were asked to wear red & white. And of cos, we the younger ones also want to contribute. So u see all 4 of us wearing red & white. Why red & white leh? Cos it represents our national flag colour - red on the top & white at the bottom. See below illustration.
