Chinese New Year Celebration!!

First of all i would like to wish "Happy Chinese New Year" or "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to my Chinese friends! Well in our country we also celebrate it! The above image I took this evening in a shopping mall. The Lion dance or Dragon dance is very synonym with chinese new year celebration. This is because, the dragon or lion with the sound of drums can prevent bad luck or bad spirits.

The main dishes is "Yee Sang" and "Kuih Bakul". The family will gather and have big meal consist of duck, meat, vegetables and mandarin orange. The young people will visit the older and recive "Ang Pow" with red in color which mean good luck in their live.



In the middle of the night they will burn fire cracker! This is a symbol of the begin of a new year in chinese calendar. This year is a year of mouse. The year of a mouse is year that bring richness, hardworking in their live!

To all my chinese fellow, Happy Chinese New Year!
