Very soon, Chinese New Year (CNY) will arrive very soon. From 29th Jan to 31st Jan. It would be another great days for visiting all relatives. But way before celebrating this day. There is alot of preparation works to be done. Spring cleaning, getting new stuffs and clothes. There are so many things that we need to see to.
It has been a part of chinese custom. Which every youngster will look forward to. It will be the days for them to collect red packets. Perhaps it will be the official time for everyone to gamble. Big 2, Blackjack and even mahjong. So many type of games to play.
First came the Chinese New Year eve. Where all family members will come gather for dinner. After the dinner people will start to flock over to Chinatown. To see fireworks or can say to pick cheap goods. Which then all will proceed home not to rest. But to stay up as long as possible. As it is a belief that the children will add more hours to their parent's life.
First Day on New Year. No black colour shirt. It will be best to don a red colour outfit. For red in chinese means luck. That is why it is the most favoured colour during new year.
Going to relatives' place will tire you off easily. So CNY are being set for 15 days. Nah.. just lame. As the CNY follow the lunar calendar. Thats why it is 15 days.
However as you grow older. CNY seem to be the same as other public holidays. Just another 2-3 days for you to rest. So if there is no one to spice up the day. Then you would be probably sleeping at home.
Come on think of more ideas to spend the day. If not after visiting your relatives. There will not be much things to do. Fully utilise the time available.
Idea by estee. If anymore things to add in. Leave a msg.
Roger so far..
