Da Nian Chu Yi (CNY Day 1)

2007.02.18




















After last night's war zone (fireworks display and firecrackers blasting), comes Chinese New Year Day 01.

#1, family picture from a tripod stand, me, my parents, younger sisters and my grandmother.

#2, upside-down "Fu" means happiness fell from the sky. Taken from my front door.

#3 - #7, went to Tua Pek Kong Temple for praying session, this worshipped place is full of other Chinese devotees who came here to pray for better luck and a good life for this new year.

#8 - #10, at Friendship Park after the visiting to the temple, in the photos are the fishes, me and my girlfriend, sisters and grandmother.

#11 - #20, just reached home and there's lion dance ceremony at my neighbour's place, I was invited to photographed the session. Thanks to them.

Just to share a joyous 1st day of Chinese New year. Happy viewing!

photopoet I feel blessed to be present through your wonderful pictures. I have been taking some Chinese Brush Painting at the Museum with a Chinese Instructor and several people in class are Chinese. So we've been hearing all about the wonderful celebration. These are beautiful pictures.

Venkat ... though I have greeted already in English, I think its better to repeat, and this time as they say in Chinese... "Gung Hey Fat Choi!"
