  • Away to PLKN (Day 41): Lion Dance at Tiger CNY Miao Hui

    Away to PLKN (Day 41): Lion Dance at Tiger CNY Miao Hui

    I got a little bit crazy already and is bad at managing my content. Suddenly I jump out a post about the Miao Hui that happened during Chinese New Year in February, a long time ago. Do you mind or not? Mind also I have to post it up already, who call me to be in NS right now and I’ve no content to write. WTF.

    Anyway, let’s cut the crap and going into something interesting. So this year’s Miao Hui was unlike last year, this year, I sat down with Alvin at the Lion Dance area to see the Lion Dance show from start to end. I didn’t know why last time didn’t go check it out.

    It seems like very interesting because there’s so many people standing by to wait for the performance. Alvin is a fan of Lion Dance, me is not. We got a good spot in front of everyone, most photographers like us where there too!

    They were great, they can jump up and down so steadily without any mistake. I wish I could too!

    Some Chinese said touching the Lion head bring good luck and prosperity. After the dance, the Lion heads were placed on the ground and everyone went to touch it. Me too! Good luck for me. Haha.

    Away to PLKN (Day 9): Penang Tiger CNY Miao Hui Until At Night

    Chinese New Year Penang Celebration Miao Hui 庙会 post is back again. This time I’ll show about what happened at night. I’ll let the photos speak more because I am in NS and I lazy to write more. So sorry people.

    Some people stay there until 11am because there’s fireworks, I went home at around 1030pm already because I was too tired. I was there from 4pm till 10pm, it’s quite long for me, moreover I’ve been there before, so I didn’t want to stay until everything ended.

    IMG_5928 by nicholaschan.

    My aim was to visit every corner of the Miao Hui and finally we did, only that we did not see the fireworks.  At night was prettier because there’s the lantern and light. Ideal for photoshooting.

    Janice was part of GBBM too.

    Then I went to look for Kooi Jin who was the helper for GBBM which organized part of the event near Han Chiang’s Temple. Their theme was 忠 (zhong), literally means honest.

  • Visit to Friends’ Place on Day 6 of Tiger Chinese New Year

    Visit to Friends’ Place on Day 6 of Tiger Chinese New Year

    IMG_5451 by nicholaschan.

    Woo, I still have many to talk about the recent Chinese New Tiger Year. It’s fun, it’s shiok and it’s nice! On the sixth day of Chinese New Year, brother went back to Singapore already, I am back to being alone again, always look for friend. So on this day, I went to visit to my friend’s house, or also call bai nian where people visit to others’ house give orange and take ang bao.

    IMG_5456 by nicholaschan.

    First stop of the day, after dropping brother at the airport, I went to Alvin‘s place, a friend that I knew like 5 years back. He was just awake when I was there and looked stim stim, but cute.

    Yiphing.

    Then, me and Alvin went to visit Yiphing, spent like an hour at there, talking and I played the piano. I am so noob, someone please teach me how to play.

    Next stop was to Jin Jie’s place near Yiphing’s place. It’s his new home but it’s only open during Chinese New Year. Pretty nice place, though no idea why his family doesn’t want to move it. I saw a lot of my high school mate there, very happy to see them, especially my 5SA1 friend, Hock Sheng, Yong Chieh and Beng Tian.

    IMG_5477 by nicholaschan.

    Gambled and won. Really happy. ^^ And I found pop-pop fire crackers at there, it’s like so long that I didn’t play this kind of thing already, let me see, it would be like 6 years already.

    IMG_5485 by nicholaschan.
    Beng Tian! Still so funny.

    Jin Jie.

    Thanks Jin Jie for inviting me over. So miss my high school friends now. So-so-so much. Last time, we were in a classroom all the time, everyday also get to meet, but now, no chance already. Everyone always busy with their own thing. I guess we need more gathering.

    IMG_5548 by nicholaschan.
    Good job, Caiqian!

    So after Jin Jie house, it’s some break time. I actually went to the camera shop to get some gear, then meal at Prangin Mall only then go to the last house of the day and it’s Jen’s house. The Leo Club friends had a BBQ dinner at Jen’s place and I went there with Alvin. So basically, Alvin was with me the whole day.

    We were there late and luckily food were BBQ-ed and I need not to spend time in front of the fire. ^^
