Chinese New Year practices…

Hey hey hey! Anyone having an extra prosperous new year with extra angpau’s? Ehehe. I could use some! Woohoo!

I was just pondering about a couple of things that we Chinese people do when it comes to this time of the Chinese calender year. Am gonna list down some of the things here, so that I can remember! Add on to the list if you will, ya? I don’t wanna forget some of these things!

1. House is cleaned before the New Year to arrive
- Well, I guess spring cleaning is always good! Plus, it’s better to have a clean house to usher people in for.. the reunion dinner.
2. Reunion Dinner
- A time when the whole family gets back together to makan and catch up!
3. Giving of angpau’s
- I don’t know when they normally give out angpau’s, but I think it’s on the 1st day of CNY.
4. Wearing of new clothes
- Wearing new clothes on the 1st day of CNY.

I guess, these are the few that I wanna keep? I don’t do those religious stuff.. and all.
