Chinese New Year in IPOH

ON THE VERY FIRST MORNING of CNY, we went over to mama's place to give our greetings, "gong xi gong xi, sun leen fai lok, sun tai keen hong" ... (wishing you happiness and good health)

After which, the best time for the kids were the receiving of ang paus....from the parents, aunties and uncles...

  1. wah...so nice, still got the tradition to receive the ang pows...my family dun have ad...just gathered for lunch during the first day...then the elders just distributing the ang pows to the kids while they are eating or playing around...no tradition like the elders sitting down then the young ones wishing the elders nice words and getting the ang pows...hehe...
