Its the festive season in Malaysia,I particulary like this one since young.Growing up in a predominantly chinese area,I get excited everytime its CNY.I miss my home ,Mambau.The sound of firecrackers blasting at the stroke of midnight.The offerings my neighbours put on the table outside their houses and the best part,the Lion dance.We had one every year at the entrance of our housing area,the acrobats outdoing each other with their performance.If you are unmarried you also have the perks of getting an 'Angpow' which is some amount of money put in a red packet and given to you as a gift.I particulary enjoyed this one,the amount varies from RM2 to RM100.
All this makes me proud of Malaysia,celebrating all festivals regardless of race,religion and beliefs.This is our greatest asset and its our duty to sustain it forever.
To all my friends,wish you Happy Chinese New year and prosperous one ahead.
