CNY Open House Part 3

Continue to the part 3 of this post. I am try to finish the post by today. Are you looking forward for my features updates besides that CNY events? Okay now quickly show out all the photos that uploaded. Sharing =)

The night scenery inside Khoo Kongsi. Seriously tell you I didn't been inside Khoo Kongsi at night. This was my first experience which have the chance to visit in! It's a nice and cool building, it's full of historical values.

There were some performances that presented by the Khoo Kongsi Teenage Society. There was a good guide for the new generation to know more about their traditional style and some heritage. For me as well, I am start to touch on heritage.

The same thing here, crowded but it's just different angle. XD!

This decoration let me think about Pai Ti Kong. There were alot of stuffs on top the table and many special kind of decorations made by the local people. I think they spent this about quite a big figure of money to complete it!

Is Hen's year? or OX Year? Why put Hens sign? I don't know!

Who were married during CNY? It's a sweet memories by the way I think most of the Chinese won't celebrate this during CNY because they were busy on CNY. Preparing the new year come and so on.

The wedding stuffs. Traditional!

Then I walked into the Cheah Kongsi. Inside there many people enjoy on the ground and photographers were busy shooting at the performance of some teenagers. It's a cool place for relax at night. Inside have pond water, benches and grass ground! Can be BBQ there will more better. LOL!

Inside the Youth Centre which under the Hakka City section. It's all about eat stuffs!

There was the performances from students. What were they playing? They played the Chinese Yoyo which called as 扯铃 in chinese. This was full of cultures and traditional of Chinese. Along ago in China, besides playing Gasing they also have this type of game.

Do you know your future life? There was a counter giving a talk and selling some stuffs to the visitors. My dad was interesting in searching the passed history in China and found out where our grand grand parents come from. It's all about Feng Shui!

Selling some key chains at the roadside. This idea was not bad but if meet the snatch thief there won't be good anymore. But on that day there was almost succeed and no problems occured. My dad was looking for one his most like!

There was also a singing group which under Past Chief Minister Dr Koh Tsu Koon's group. But look at their performance was quite un-interesting for me but for my mum, she like it much! The songs is between 70th - 80th years. No hip hop for that time!

Finally I managed to complete all the post of Heritage Site of CNY Open House 2009 blog post. Showing out all the photos and tonight I might be start a new post then. Are you happy with my blog post? Sorry if I am not update frequenly. Thank you!

Hakka City? Hakka is belongs to my dialect. I am a hakka! Do you know how to speak? =)

I found this was interesting that many graduated teenagers were trying to pour the chinese tea for public to taste about. I like the effort of boiling and patient of waiting then pouring and serving to public.

Can you imagine the crowded on that night?

Where I come is the Ho Teik Chi. Haha! I snapped this without flash and visit inside found many features.

Wow, many uncles were shouting there on Tua Pek Kong. They said pray Tua Pek Kong can kena 4D and everything is good in future later. I believe that and my dad drop some $$ and get the small piece of angpow. There was many people praying there!

Lion Dance performances bring out besides Cheah Kongsi which the street name is Cannon Street. Quite a nice performance and I believe they practised alot before the show time! Good job =)

Were you hungry on that time? The Khoo Kongsi sponsored out some dishes via buffet for that night visitors. Serving lots also not enough, this was one penangites bad habit, they rushed for lots and the first! Don't learn from it. =) Posted by GenYong 20.02.2009

Show you the 'portrait' of my sister and I. This photo was taken by my dad and I think it was a quite nice shot. Is it nice?

Before went back home, I tried to shoot for this performance without flashlight. I was success because there have a lot of spotlights lighten up and make the effect so nice!

I met our dearest chief minister YAB Lim Guan Eng and his wife YB Betty Chew. They were walking to Cheah Kongsi at that time while we were planning to walk out from there. My dad called him as 'Mr Lim' and suddenly forgot about he's already YAB. XD! Nice taking for this shot!

Wow, there was crowded people in and out of Khoo Kongsi on that night. Do you been there? Khoo Kongsi is one of the heritage site and that night they opened for public to visit and watching for the culture performances. There was crowded of people inside and while we were going out faced a lot of 'traffic jams'.

Besides our chief minister, for this event organizing chairperson YAB Wong Hon Wei was patrolling around the events helding area with his lovely wife. I accidentaly took this shot and I didn't wonder that he was YAB that I shoot besides Lim Guan Eng. LOL!

There was a classic local performances did by the HaiNan performers. He/She spoke along HaiNan dialect and guided people to learn. Besides that, they also told public about the history of HaiNan and little bit knowledge of China. Cool! XD.

Lastly I take this photo when I reached Armenian Street. I found that those designs were creative and new idea. They shown out all the history informations and knowledge of CNY and China. Do you know where you come from? Haha. This is one of the questions!

Alright, I hope I will continue this post as fast as possible and hope to see your supports anyway! Thank you very much. Posted by GenYong 17.02.2009

Pai Tee Kong aka Jade Emperor's birthday

Hello everyone I was back now from school and have fun for this weekends. I realized that many students included me was still in the new year mood and not so serious in having study on the passed week. For this coming Monday, CNY 2009 is going to end with Chap Goh Meh as well. Make yourself happy during this weekends with taking photos on Thaipusam.

During the passed week, do you Pai Tee Kong? That's one answer by people, "we are not hokkien and we don't pray for it". As I am also not a Hokkien and I am Hakka but I prayed for it too. In chinese history, among all the gods Jade Emperor was the most 'powerful'! In chinese Jade Emperor called as 玉皇大帝. Many people believe that what you 'request' from him and he will let you dreams come true.

Besides that, this day was the actual CNY for hokkienese. As well they have a history to describe it, it was something about 甘蔗. Go and find it out what happened and ask your grandparents, I ensure they will tell you! So that day how you celebrate this festival?

My dad folded a lot of praying papers Tee Kong Kim to be burned around 500 pieces. I make a summary about all the photos here. Actually my family is just only prayed for the good condition in future. We used the fruits to pray and some stuffs. Some tea, cakes and simple as well.

As we were not hokkien, so we prayed it as simple as we can. That day I didn't go to Chew Jetty because of too late and crowded people there. Happy CNY ending is come! Be happy XD. =) Posted by GenYong 07.02.2009

Campbell Street Open House Part 2

Yesterday it was a good night for the prayers who pray to Tian Kong. As me I don't managed to go Chew Jetty because it's too late and my dad need to rest as he is working today. This morning I read the newspaper and I found that there was crowded in Chew Jetty last night. Many photographers, bloggers and YBs gathered at there and prayed together. Get the wishes from Tian Kong.

For me at home and plurking always with Kenny, Yong Seng and more buddies. They were making jokes along and create something for Tee Kong. Writing a blog for Tee Kong and present many photos to Tian Kong! Really funny them. =) They let me have a wonderful night without going out.

Continue with the campbell street photos show up.

YAB Lim Kit Siang and his partner. There was many people want to shake hand with him. That's sure for me as well, I managed to take this shot but couldn't shake hand with him. Although no chance, I believe there will have next chance coming. XD!

You should ask me how come didn't take the shot of Chief Minister YAB Lim Guan Eng. I have take the shot but due to the camera problem and crowded that time caused the quality not good, that's why I didn't show up.

Wow! It was a nice night scenery along the Campbell Street. People crowded along the street and something like Pasar Malam, but it was more standard! LOL. I like the decorations of the management, they hang up the lanterns and lighten it at night. Have the CNY feel along the street!

Our dearest 2nd Assist. Chief Minister. Am I right? That's really I still not so recognize with our state government committees. But I hope have the chance to meet them and know them more. Meeting them at Komtar Level 53, that's shouldn't be any problem right? XD

Another YBs. As well as you are the YBs, many people will manage to shake hand with you and called out your name.

Before the YBs came in, I found that there was a competition of making lanterns which Chai Wei participated. The above picture figured out one woman was holding the processed lanterns with her maid(i think) to complete the lanterns making.

Yes! Is them again. When I explore my photos, I found that I take the shot of this group was many. They were making the funny action non stop which can let us imagine how last time the people acted. Maybe for our grandparents younger time, they dressed like that. Classical!

The event still continue until midnight 12.00am if I was not mistaken. As well my blog post will be continue and hope that everyone celebrated the happy Pai Tee Kong last night. Happy Ox Year. Posted by GenYong 03.02.2009
