fun-filled Chap Goh Meh

Time flies people..CNY has just ended.So my "lovely" mom woke me up early in the morning just to go to watch some CNY performances nearby my house on Sunday morning.But those performances are boring,just lion dance and dragon dance,then there was a free prize giving contest by just spinning the big fortune wheel.

Stupid i would say,because there were bloody many people lining up just to get the free gift and it depends on your luck to get it.If you are lucky,you get it.If you are not?Sorry,just 2 mandarin oranges.

And it's so freaking hot that time!!Sun shining so freaking brightly on top of us!It hurts!

But what amazed me was this.....super long,the longest "Lou Shang" that i have ever seen.But do you dare to eat?It's placed there under the hot sun for many hours already..what if you eat halfway then you get to see some insects/bird shit/hair/whatever inside there?You would not know...



So on Monday night,i went out to Klang with my cousins to witness the "GAM throwing and lou-ing" programme at the very well-known 八号桥。Many young gals and guys will gather there to get to know more friends with a particular item which is GAM.This is a day for those single ladies and single guys to look for their love,according to Chinese tradition.

To be honest,this is my first time to watch this.


So you can see there were quite a lot of people there..guys will stand near the big river to take those oranges thrown by the girls up there,with their own name and handphone number on the oranges.


There is a ship there..which is quite nice.

I turned around to look at the crowd.My god..so crowded!As you can see there are so many youngsters and families.

Look at this guy..he successfully got an orange from the river.But he looked very shy and pai seh after coming back from the riverside.I think he was shy of people looking at him.

There was even a guy bringing a long long fish net to get the oranges!Kua zheong...........

So besides throwing and receiving GAM,there were people lighting up firecrackers also.Nice firecracker i would say.

And....some groups of family gathered around to write their wishes on a thin layered of paper,孔明灯。After writing,they will light up a small piece of hydrogen plate or whatever-i-dunno to make it fly up to the sky.Chinese people believe,lighting up this kong ming deng will help to fulfill their wishes.

Look at their happy face! :)

So it ended my last day of CNY.Get to experience special activity with special mood on special day.

-Happy day,everyone..-
