This is the 8th night of the Chinese New Year(21st Feb.2010), usually celebrate by the Hokkien Chinese but nowadays everybody celebrates every celebration in Malaysia. Well, more fun right? Pai Thnee Kong night or prayers to the Jade Emperor or direct translation as Prayers to the God of Heaven. My Dad said all Chinese pray for 3 things, 1. Money,2. Good Health and 3. Peace. but more prayers are on money. Don't ask me why.The prayers will be perform around midnight where we offers fruits,cakes,sugar cane(very important),burning of joss stick and joss paper ,this usually follows by lots of firecrackers being set off.This video is taken directly in front of my house, here is Batu Maung , every year you will hear the sound of firecrackers every minute non-stop on the 9th night of Chinese New Year and this year is also the same. It is very loud but we enjoy this type of environment, we are Chinese ma. LOL.
Today is the 5th Day of Chinese New Year. We have visited many relatives and taken many Ang Pow(red packet) , here in Penang all the shopping complex are beautifully decorated for Chinese New Year, everywhere red color , my dad say that is the lucky color for Chinese.This picture is in Queensbay Mall, Penang, the biggest shopping mall here. There are a lot of functions here in this complex. New Year songs singing competition and other road show.If you happened to be around during Chinese New Year, you can hear firecrackers sound everyday but it not legal to play firecrackers. Our police close one eye during Chinese New Year.LOL!There is one thing good about Malaysia.
Here in in Malaysia most of the Chinese will repaint their house for it to look new during Chinese New Year. My parents did not want to let me paint the house but I told my Dad that I want to paint and also want to write a post on my blog, then he allowed me. With the roller and new non-drip paint, anyone can do the painting job. It was quite fun to paint your own house actually, I painted about..... OK..OK...just a small portion of the wall. I did painted anyway.For this year 2010 Chinese New Year start on the 14th February 2010 and we will be celebrating for 15 days.There will be lots of firecrackers,lots of people coming,lots of Ang Pow(red packet with money) and lots of fun.
My uncle just gave us an old piano, well it still sounds good to me. After a few hours of coaching from my Mom, I managed to play ... with one finger. My Dad said most people needed 10 fingers to play piano, I just need one, Good Job!... LOL
