Spring Flower Fair - Chinese New Year Series (1)
As Chinese New Year (or Spring Festival) is less than a month away (falls on 7 Feb 2008), the preparation for this major festival can be felt all over town. At Sunway Pyramid, a Spring Flower Fair is held. Plants that are synonymous with Chinese New Year, specifically good luck bamboo, mandarin oranges and pussy willow are in abundance. I love the Chinese New Year celebration. How about you? Have you started on your preparations?
"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith

I love our New Year! In Vietnamese, we call it Tet and I have begun thinking about preparations but have not gathered materials yet. But I will now as you have inspired me!
I love Chinese New Year too. Love going to Chinatown during this period. My preparation for Chinese New Year is spring cleaning at the moment, a task I hated most...lol.
What pretty flowers. I especially adore the little bamboo plants.
