Its Chinese New Year...... Times flies..... matter of fact, today is actually already the 8th day of CNY and its actually a big day for Hokkien.
Oh well, I am not Hokkien, but I adapt Hokkien culture because my mum is Hokkien.
We are going to pray the "Tin Kong"... if direct translation, its "Heaven God".
I remembered when I was younger, back in hometown.... this celebration is a very big event... even bigger than the 1st day of CNY.
Normally what we did was, my parents will try to place the table as high as possible..... (easier for the God to reach out for the food, I guess.....).
And we will "present" TWO WHOLE PIG....... amongst all other food....
My parents was doing business that time.... proably that was why they needed to have 2 Pig... or else, not enough to share around.......
But since we moved to KL..., these celebration had been scaled down... especially that we are staying in apartment now.... not that "big space" available for praying...
Now had scaled down a lot... (will upload the photo later...)
But frankly, not sure why, but I had lost the "feel" of CNY..... is it because of age or...?
And..... I am going back to work tomorrow...... hmmm... feeling a bit "lazy" after laze around for sooooo longggg........
HAPPY CNY! To the beginning of a good year!? Where my ang pow la?
