Chap Goh Mei
εδΊζ Chap Gog Mei...refers to the fifteenth and final day of the Chinese New Year celebration. This occasion is marked by celebrations of makan-ing (feasting) and various festivities like praying. It is also the chinese version of valentine's day. Instead of the cupid arrows, the tangerine oranges played a major role in match making !!!
As for me....It's just a day just like any other day. Nothing significant about this night except that I do notice the crowd and massive traffic jams everywhere. Went to a chinese temple to join in the excitement and fun. It's just a stone throw away from my place. Paying respect to the deities at the temple.
Huge giant joss sticks caught my attention though.....wow big giants but very beautiful ones. Admiring the matching colours of pink and red. At a closer inspection, the designs are of 'dragon & phoenix'. Very unique. And salute the craftmen for such intricate art work !!! What a waste as these handsome joss sticks will be burnt to ashes by tomorrow morning ....
By the way, each stick belongs to an individual as there's a note written in chinese of the said owner of the joss stick being offered to God. Seeking prosperity, weatch, health and etc.

Cuberish Alarm Clock
Ah Boy experienced difficulty getting up every morning for school. Solution...need two alarm clocks to wake him up. Bought a cube~ish clock that glows in the dark. Sold at pasar malam for 10 ringgit but after much bargaining..RM9. Okay la...one ringgit pun boleh lah.
It's alarm is in the form of melodious "twinkle-twinkle lil stars" and "Ting Tong". Very cute sounds. Ah Boy simply loves it. He now wakes up before the clock rings. Ahhaaaaa....it works la. No need for poor mummy to scream out her lungs for the wake-up call.
