2009 CNY FaMiLy PhoTo

还记不记得我在一年前写的这篇文章？

今年的新年我们当然不会忘记“例牌”地扮美美在屋子的每个角落拍下新年全家福。

（一）大门口

（二）厨房

（三）客厅

（四）楼梯口

（五）酒吧

（六）茶坊

看回以往的新年全家福照片，感觉时间真的过得好快哦！

我们都长大了好多哦！

大年初九，拜天宫咯！！

大年初九可是福建人最重要的一天

由于仁村大部分村民都是福建人，不用问‘阿贵’就可以像想到当天的场面有多热闹吧！

在马来西亚非法燃放烟花可是犯法的行为，可会遭到重罚的哦！

但这并没有阻挡村民大肆燃放烟花庆祝一番。。。

还记得在大专时期，外地的朋友都喜欢在这一天到我家乡来感受当天的气氛。。。

回想起当时的情况，还真是心存怀念。。。

今年大妹和弟弟并没有在家里陪我们一起拜天宫。。。

大妹去了美里准备上课；弟弟回去吉隆坡宿舍准备应付考试。。。

所以家里也显得比以往冷清。。。

但是，当夜空划过十二点时。。。。。

一朵朵五彩缤纷的烟花不约而同的铺满了宁静的天空。。。

一阵阵随之而来的鞭炮声从四面八方地传到我耳边。。。

气氛一下之变得热闹起来。。。

爸爸赶紧张罗拜天宫的事宜。。。妈妈更是忙进忙出。。。

一会儿搬出鲜花水果，一会儿拿出神料。。。

我？拿着相机拍照。。。

拜天宫。。。希望今年一切顺顺利利。。。

许了什么愿望？

当然是秘密啦！

LiOn DaNCe

A Chinese New Year celebration will not complete without lion dance. This year, daddy invited the lion dance troupe to our home to bring 'ONG' and get rid of 'suiness'.

Because of this, we wake up early in the first morning of CNY and prepared to welcome our 'big guest' today.

I was told by my parents that the lion dance is not simply for entertainment. Basically it is performed on CNY to bring luck and prosperity to our house and to chase away all negative spirits.

The action from the lion dance troupe was not fantastic at all. *because they are not professional lion dancer?? They are just students from private chinese school...... okok.... no critics....!!i know!!
After the peeling of mandarin oranges and arranged them on a plate. Immediately after that, brother light up the firecracker and the lion passed the stuff in the red tray to my daddy. What they say is it signifies good luck and wealth.

ChiNesE NeW YEar 2009

It’s time of the year again.....

The feeling is so strange at first because I didn't expect Chinese New Year come so fast this year… **maybe due to the last Chinese new year celebration was still fresh in my mind.

Anyway, its the most important ethnical holidays for my family and myself. So I should enjoy it rather than wonder why the time past so fast.

Chinese New Year is one of the few occasions in a year where I can share happiness with all my relatives and friends who meet very seldom.

My CNY mood started with the big bonus from my 'uncle a.k.a boss'......followed by reunion dinner on the eve of CNY, traditionally prepared at my grandmum's home for family members who return from their work and lives away from home.

After dinner, we did what we traditionally do… gathered at the living room and chit-chatting, waiting for our Ang Pao from the married relatives and the kids were playing with their fire crackers.

Once the clock strikes twelve, fire works can be seen everywhere and mark the official start of CNY. At the same time, we were praying for a good year of Ox!

Chinese New Year is celebrated with visiting of relatives and friends. Everyone is expected to wear new clothes and shoes and the popular color is obviously red! Playing cards and mahjong tiles will definately apper in everyone house. Meantime, children will be having new year goodies, games and playing with fireworks.

The weather was not good during CNY this year. Many people fall sick because of the hot weather. Anyway, I do appreciate CNY in the sense that I can get together with my relatives and friends. Nevertheless, I still want to wish all of you a happy Chinese New Year!
