Once I remember, I along with my classmates we went to a Chinese friend's house, her name was Leow Meng Choo. It's been quite some time since I've seen her. Anyway that day, we went to her house and her mother served us some food and drink, I couldn't eat much of it as I am a vegetarian. so I warmly received the drink. After which we all gathered with her cousins and played games, I couldn't undersand most of the words coming out of their mouths but they received us very well, and we had a fun filled day.
We even played with lantern that night, My mom bought me a lantern shapped of a fish and for my sister, I think it was a snake, I'm not quite sure, I forgot a lot because it was so long ago. My dad bought a lot of oranges and even our neighbours handed us boxes of oranges.
Before leaving, Meng Choo took us to meet her grandmother, who was on her wheelchair, we greeted her and she handed us each Ang pows! each containing, I forgot the sum. Well, the thought that counts! right!
The whole day was so nice, it was nice to actually celebrate a festival, which was not even in your tradision, yet feel the overwhelming urge to celebrate it!
I hope Chinese New Year is a day, you all have fun as well, Let's face it, Chinese New Year is the time of year you get to eat as much of oranges as you desire and get the chance to increase your savings.
Hope this Chinese New Year brings you lot's of shining lucks, wealth in abundance, never -ending happiness, and plenty of smiles to last forever!
GONG XI FA CAI!
