If you reside in kampung area, you could feel the atmosphere of Chinese New Year pretty strongly...
As a chinese tradition and local folk culture, there is 3 prayers during chinese new year - New Year eve, First day of Chinese New year, and Chu 9 ( for Hokkien)...
Today, is the first prayer that we had for this 2009. As usual, we will prepare a lot of prayer foods and fruits, and also tonnes of silver papers...
The first prayer is for so called God of SKY...This is because they wanted to thank God of Sky for blessing everyone has a properity havest last year...
In here, you could see most of the people stayed up till 12am at least to conduct the prayer..This is not for religion...this is a local folk culture and tradition that practiced from generation to generation..basically followed what had done by our nenek moyang...
I wasn't really understand much..but i had seen it from young till now..and the thing that i really enjoyed will be the noise of firecracker and fireworks, the noise from the motorbike and cars, the noise of the residents...Coz of the noise...the feel of chinese new year is strong...
