Christmas has always been a family affair for 18-year-old Megan Loy.

suffered serious burns on up to 80 per cent of her body when a blaze broke out at the Colour Play Asia festival in Taipei on June 27.
“I now live life with no regrets. I feel like if I had died that day, my biggest regret would probably be not telling my family that I love them enough,” said Megan, who was flown to Singapore on June 30, and discharged from the Burns Centre at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) at the end of October.
Her burn wounds have now been reduced to less than 5 per cent of her body after nine skin grafts.
