One more week to go before the arrival of CNY!! We caught this shop in Chinatown displaying colourful, traditional Chinese clothes for children. They add a festive cheers to the Chinese New Year celebration.
By the way, I was just informed by my close friend that for the new year of the Ox, it is advisable NOT to wear RED on the 1st day of CNY. According to her, it is predicted that the year of the Ox will bring some natural calamities. By wearing RED on the 1st day, you will attract the Ox and thus the calamities will follow you for the rest of the year. By RED, she means any colour that carries the tone of red, e.g. pink, purple or bright orange. So it would be safer to stay away from this tones.
Not certain how true the above is.......but I am going to stay away from those colours. Call me superstitious....but prevention is always better than cure! :o)
My word they are BRIGHT but a fabulous photo - Judith

I was told that we must avoid visiting the hospital in the year of the OX but not sure how true it is. My second sis would place longan in house during CNY during the year of the snake and meat during the year of the tiger. I wondered what she would put in her house this year...lol.
