I have 4 days off for CNY......drove back home on Friday evening after work with my sister. The traffic starts to build up along the highway coz many people also going back to their respective hometowns. Normally we use North-South Highway & this main highway is connecting all the major towns from North to South...that's why it's congested especially during festive seasons. I'm driving up north. We started our journey about 6p.m from PJ & reached home about 9.30p.m - 3 hrs plus drive.
Saturday is already New Year Eve & my mom woke up early to prepare all the foods for offering to our ancestors. After the praying session, we have our usual reunion lunch....we usually have reunion lunch rather than dinner. After lunch, dad gave us angpows - it's a tradition to give angpows for the younger & single members of the family.
In the afternoon, we either gamble or sleeping. Then it's time for dinner already....After dinner, we went to town for last minute shopping but we found out that some parts of Teluk Intan facing black-out. Seems like for the past 2 days also same. So we came back & continue gambling. By 11.30p.m, we "sou dong" & clean up our place - sweeping & mopping the floor before the clock strikes 12a.m....It's a tradition that Chinese families cannot sweep the floor on the 1st day of CNY as the luck will be all swept away.
END....Continue on next post
