Chinese New Year Spring Cleaning
Chinese New Year Spring Cleaning
I stop blogging for the past five day because next Sunday we celebrate Chinese New Year and is just a week away. In this period traditional Chinese around the world will start spring cleaning and make the necessary preparations this is an annual affair. Although the year didn't start with good news, but still Chinese New Year is something to celebrate and be happy. Of all festival, I like Chiense New Year the most, whereas my son like the atmosphere where so many customs to follow... like must wear new clothes on the first day, praying in the middle of the night(to welcome the God of Prosperity), no swearing, no sweeping of the floor, eating traditional food and deserts, the must-have mandarin oranges, love-letter biscuit (Kueh Belanda) , Pineapple Tarts (Kueh Tarts) , BBQ pork Slices(bak gua), my son's favorite). It's this traditions that makes the festival unique.
As usual we will be celebrating Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner at my monther-in-law place. I can feel the festival mood heating up as it approaches chinese new year. It a routine every year a month before the big day I will make kuehs, shop for new year goodies, spring cleaning, and make the necessary preparations and so on, so we are more involve and thus will feel it more.
