hey
we're 1O
My Chinese-New-Year-Eve-School-Morning look in a cab. We have to wear something red to usher in the good luck and fortune for the lunar new year. I put on a jacket on my otherwise too casual red polo t-shirt. :)
Chinese Paper Lanterns hovering above the Chinese Language teachers' desks in the staff room. They add a touch of festive mood to the otherwise mundane atmosphere to the Chinese New Year celebration.
The lion dance performance on the Chinese New Year Eve in the school hall. The lion dance troop is subsumed under the Scouts Ep3. It is always fun to watch how the boys balance and manipulate the heavy lion head. Is it something you enjoy watching? I surely did.
People praying at the Goddess of Mercy Temple, near Bugis, for a year of blessing, health and good fortune. After paying S$1 for 3 chopstick-thick joss sticks, I was one of the hundreds of people trying to plunge my joss sticks into the urn and hope that the Goddess would find my offering acceptable and grant me my prayer. And of course, I managed to leave them in the urn for about 5 seconds before the cleaners clear every single stick out of the huge brass urn so that other believers can also make their offerings. And what about you?
