The first month of the Chinese calendar is called 'yuan', and in ancient times people called night as 'xiao'; therefore, the day is called Yuan Xiao Festival in mainland and Taiwan. The fifteenth day is the first night one can see a full moon in that lunar year. At this time, people will 'tangyuan'(glutinous rice ball) and enjoy a family reunion. Eating 'tangyuan' on the fifteenth day of Chinese New Year has a long history in China. Chinese believes the round shape of the balls and the bowls where they served, come to symbolize the family togetherness. It can bring the family happiness and good luck in the new year.
The full moon
Same like previous year, bf n I will back to Klang for Chap Goh Mei dinner. A simple dinner comes with chicken, fish, vegetables, pork and soup. (Busy eating.. forget to snap photos).
Right after our dinner, bf suddenly take a pack of plastic bag out from a cupboard. *Wondering what is inside the plastic bag.* Followed him out and only realized that the plastic bag was contained some fire crackers @_@
Dear with fire cracker
Nice fireworks

That's all for my CNY post that showed how I celebrated my Chinese New Year with my lovely family and friends from the first day till the fifteenth day. Last but not least, wish every one a very Happy Chap Goh Mei. Cheers!! Not forgetting to calculate the total of my ang pow collection of the year.. =P (Hmmm, quite a lot oh~ hehehe..)
