Festive Cheers Decor


This shop sell dried meats. You can see 2 workers barbecuing the meat outside the shop. I love the beautiful decorations of this shop. With the big bunches of red cherry blossoms and a huge God of Fortune with lots of gold ingots, red lanterns and banners adorning the door, this shop really add festive cheers to this street!

Many houses in Malaysia would have similar decorations by today, i.e. eve of Chinese New Year. Families will gather tonite for a family reunion dinner. It is customary of Chinese family to sit down together for a reunion meal on the eve of Chinese New Year. I look forward to enjoying our reunion dinner tonite. And of course to the countdown before the clock struck midnite!

Beautiful and very happy chinese new year decorations there. My goodness the queue over here at the Bak Kwa's stores in chinatown were so long and it costs about $48 per kg. I wont queue or buy at this time, I think I will go next week, cheaper and no queue and the bak kwa fresher. :) JC, here's wishing you and your family good luck, good health and good fortune in the Year of the Ox.

"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
