My Pre Chinese New Year Eve 2017

February was a hectic yet eventful month. I have been so exhausted on many things.
Starting from celebrating Chinese New Year 2017 and Aday's birthday; Having sudden sickness during CNY; Busy with church preparations + activities for Spiritual Evangelistic at Donggongon Church, at the same time, I got myself inadequate sleeps.

And now to be frankly, I feel myself a weak person that my bones are getting hardened due to lack of regular exercises. Yes. I sit a lot, eat a lot, exposing myself to AC a lot, weather climates keep changing are the factors of what I'm having right now.


DESTINATION : Padang Merdeka
We headed here on the last day (before Chinese New Year Eve) ;
Because everyone mostly will have their reunion dinner with families~
 

 

Many things sold here... Many people followed the walking track and enjoy listening hypes from the hawkers I guess~

From foods, drinks, games (like those cars, robots, animals, water bubbles) to apparels.

and ...

Heading to the seat places.

Performances.

We came here and take a quick rest before continuing our progress.

NEXT DESTINATION : Segama Street.

Almost every time when it comes to CNY, we will visit Segama Street by crossing the overhead bridge. Mostly to enjoy the atmosphere and of course, tracking for foods and drinks.

This year, we got ourselves Luo Han Goh (a type of medicinal drink) to recuperate fatigue and stamina.

 It's an optional for you to need know that the Chinese writing on the right side of that gate : 政通人和 (Zhèng tōng rén hé) is an idiom. [ I also know read Chinese bah~ ]

It means: Efficient government, people at peace; All is well with the state and the people.

 Proudly to say that this photo is taken by me.

View from overhead bridge.

 Narrow street with merrier atmosphere outside KK Plaza / KK Pasar Tamu.

Going down from the overhead bridge. This year unlikely congested compared to previous years;

As all the people disperse between Gaya Street and Padang Merdeka.

My Chinese New Year 2017 Review

Chinese New Year 2017 has ended, which is the time for me to bid a farewell to the Year of Monkey. Till we meet in the next 12 years. //waving.hands Now, in year 2017, it's the Year of Rooster.

Google's Doodle welcoming the Year of The Fire Rooster

Commonly, people will mark the 15+1 days as the "important days" in CNY, in where everyone will snap photos or taking videos of the atmosphere and add-in the caption of auspicious sayings like Gong Xi Fa Chai, Xin Nian Kuai Le, Wan Shi Ru Yi, or Nian Nian You Yu. But what they intentionally set in mindset when it comes to Lunar New Year is: HONG BAO NA LAI. 

I'm not kidding, but even me, myself matters the red packets. 

[The bigger ofc the better lahh~] #sound.out.your.inner.desire

Gong Xi Fa Chai (恭喜发财) : May you have a prosperous New Year, not Kongsi Fatchoi~
Xin Nian Kuai Le (新年快乐) : Happy New Year.
Wan Shi Ru Yi (万事如意) : May all your hopes be fulfilled.
Nian Nian You Yu (年年有馀) : May you have abundance year after year, not every year got fish (鱼)

Curious to know what is 15+1 CNY Important Days?
Check out my next entry: My 15+1 CNY "Important Days"

My 15+1 CNY "Important Days"

Literally, not all the 15+1 CNY Important Days are days to pay attention at. Just because of trends trending, they will tend to post photos (foods served, new outfits or CNY atmospheres) on frequent days. Based on my instinct, usually people will only start posting at CNY Eve, 1st to 3rd and 15th days of CNY.
TRUST ME, if they post on other rare days, it may be THROWBACK PHOTOS!
I'm so determined to say because everyone will startup new engine into a busy life. Except they are taking long holidays OR they are taking LONG HOLIDAYS.

15 represents Day 1-15 of Chinese New Year; and the
+1 represents Chinese New Year Eve, where everyone will have their reunion dinner.
But I would like to add 1 more day, 15+2 as my CNY "Important Days", because I have done something CNY-related on Pre CNY Eve.
