My little LIFE pleasure during the Chinese New Year (CNY) period Feb 10 > 24 2024
- experiencing a stronger festive atmosphere in the CNY Lunar Dragon year of 2024, "filing" away the dreadful Covid-19 years !
- Just taking pictures of giant Dragon figures during the CNY days brightened up my visits
- CNY greetings to friends & relatives by WhatsApp
- Soar into the Year of Dragon Chinese Lunar Spring Festival decor in major shopping malls turning into popular Instagram spots
- Chinese Zodiac signs & Horoscope advice by feng shui masters & learning to navigate your fortune in the Dragon Year
- hanging up of CNY banners of Gong Xi Fa Cai (wish you enlarge wealth)
- CNY song of Dong Dong Xiang filling the air in bustling streets, shopping malls & Chinatown
- entertaining to watch CNY lion & dragon dance performances & hearing of drum & gong beatings
- hometown reunion dinners (CNY eve) or in your backyard
- CNY multi-racial open house, a Muhibbah spirit
- home-made Lou Sang (raw fish salad) or a taste & toast of abalone (Rm88+) / smoked salmon Yee Sang (Rm 138+) in hotels & restaurant (prosperity toss & rise to the occasion), shouts of Huat Ah, Ong Ah & Heng Ah in a business-like Yee Sang toast !
- elders giving Ang Pow (red packets) to younger siblings, children & grand children, using only recycled dollar notes !
- setting off & loud bursts of red firecrackers & fireworks in neighbourhoods usually around midnight inviting good luck & expressing happiness but losing our sleep a little !
- wearing of Qipao or Tanzhuang (usually red or brightly colored clothes) for CNY outdoor visits, it's show times !
