Chinese New Year

Yesterday is the first day of Chinese New Year. I woke up late at about 10 am then I spent the day surfing internet and watching movies at home. Later in the evening we went to our aunty's new home for gathering. 

On New Year eve, I went to Waterloo street Kuan Imm temple for prayer. I read that the street was filled with people who wanted to offer the first joss stick in the temple at midnight yesterday. It is believed that the first person to offer the joss stick will be lucky for the year.
 I went to the temple at about 11 am on New year eve so there were not many people. But the place is filled to the brim late at night nearer to midnight. 



I still receive Hongbao this year. This piggy design is my favourite red packet as it is cute.
