Posted by Cybie in General.trackback
Chinese New Year will fall on 18 February 2007 (1st day of 1st month of lunar calendar). These are what we normally do during CNY:
Before CNY
- Buy new clothes. (I bought blouses, skirt, pants, sleeping dress, shoes and even undies =P)
- Spring cleaning (To clean away all the dirty or bad luck things)
- Decorate house (Hang things that are red and gold in colour, lanterns, money/gold)
- Buy tons of can food, hampers, can drinks, groundnuts, shandy
- Make cookies like Kuih Kapit (love letters)
- CNY eve, whole family members will sit around a ROUND table to have “ROUND” dinner
During CNY
- Wear new clothes (RED) from head to toes, from outside to skin
- Youngs (single) gets AngPow (red packet) from the Olds (married). Normally, angpow comes with some $$ and it is for blessing. Kids will compete the most angpows
- Gives hampers to relatives, neighbours, friends, collegues, boss, clients etc.. Actually not give.. is exchange. End up all the hampers come back to ourselves.
- Visit relatives’ and friends’ houses. 2 reasons here: To get more angpows and to finish those can drinks, beer, groundnuts and cookies
- Gamble – just for fun, not for the $$
After CNY
- Older ppl broke, younger ppl become richer
- Gain more weight due to eating too much CNY high calori food like can drinks, dried meat, cookies
- Holiday mood desease – Don’t feel going to work
Anyway, most important that we’ve enjoy ourselves and share quality time with family, relatives and friends.
Wish everyone Happy and Properous Chinese Pig Year..!!
