We celebrated our first Chinese New Year here in KK and it was very very festive!
Mika had a Chinese New Year celebration performance at school and there are 5 'God of Wealth' greeting us at the main entrance giving out mandarins!

We helped decorating the plant to make it look more festive
Our New Year Eve ritual
Daddy and I were writing Fai Shuns and Mummy was making special New Year dumplings
These special dumplings has coins (for wealth) and red dates (for good luck) inside
Our Fai Shuns
Gong Xi Gong Xi! Wishing you a wonderful and healthy year of the Horsie!
On the 15th day of Chinese New Year, the local Chinese here celebrates 'Chup Gor Mei', where lion dances and big fests are the way to celebrate! We were celebrating at our friend's home and we also brought along our very own lion- that's us in the front, with the real deal at the back!
We helped to bring good luck to their house
No, that's not us...
That's the way we 'eat' the lai see
The surprise is the host even got fireworks! I was too scared to watch but apparently it was amazing having fireworks RIGHT ABOVE YOUR HEADS!
Wising you a prosperous New Year!
