The Lunar New Year has come and gone. After 15 days of
celebration and feasting, it is quite difficult to come down to earth but a
look in the mirror will do wonders to bring you down with a thump!!
Yes, a balloon face and a tight waistline will certainly
prompt one to cut back on the calories and to begin exercising.
The Lunar New Year means something different to the young
children and that’s what it’s all about. It’s a time for joy, for bonding and
play. It’s a time for fire-crackers, fire-works, sparklers, pop-pop, ang pau (red
packets containing money), mandarin oranges, new clothes, etc. Furthermore, on the first day of the new
year, you can be mischievous without being scolded for it is taboo to utter a
bad word, to scold, etc.
Various red packets containing money for children and singletons.

For me, this was a beautiful new year, because all my four grandchildren
returned home to celebrate this most important event of the year. This was
truly a magical rainbow in my sky. Let the pictures speak for themselves.
