CNY Eve 大年除夕

Hello guys, I think most of you got 拜天公 Pai Tee Kong tonight. Although I am not Hokkien Lang 福建人, my family also pray only fruits for only the small purpose. People said 有拜有保佑 means you got pray then god will bless you! So tonight seems to be the CNY eve for Hokkien People and I am here to wish everyone Keong Hee Huat Chye! Everyone Huat ah!

CNY Eve Dinner.

My grandma called us to go my aunt house for a simple CNY Eve Dinner as she cooked from Butterworth. CNY eve we didn't have reunion dinner because we did it the day before.

My uncle and little cousin!

CNY stuffs.

After that we went home to prepare for praying. People said CNY eve must pray for the good luck of new year... So I believe most of the chinese families had this ceremony and get the best of lucks in Tiger Year!

Later we went to town for praying. Wow even that time already late midnight but the road still crowded with people and cars. Most of the people wore new shirts to pray the god and hope that god will bless them in the new year.

The CNY decorations.

Crowded of people at temple.

There were many big joss sticks.

Later I went into the temple and take some random shots. Wow that time already 2am in the morning and I still could see there were full of people. The temple was so lively on that night and even the beggars were there waiting for angpow money.

Lastly we went 3 temples to do praying and went home on 3am. It's happy to reach Chinese New Year! The 1st day of Tiger Year will post up in next post.. Check out! Posted by GenYong 21.02.2010
