Oh yes, they are still celebrating Chinese New Year. The celebration started on February 3 and will be coming to an end tomorrow 17/2.
I have arrived towards the end of January from Australia and have shortly been transfered to Kajang, where TTCS Malaysia is located.
Up to this point, I have been enjoying the Chinese New Year food which includes "Loh Hei", a vegetarian salad with slices of fish meat which is a must for CNY. And it is only available in Malaysia and Singapore. Apart from that, I also enjoyed the local titbits like "Muruku" and Mandarin oranges (imported from China), please check the photo attached herewith for the above said.
Away from food, the temperature here is around 28 to 32, hot and humid and I have been sweating quite a lot. The good thing this year is that there has been a lot of rain and this brought the temperature down quite a bit. I am eagerly looking forward to do a set or two this Friday with the members.
In the photo, I am seated next to She Rabbit. As you may be aware, this lunar year, it is the turn of Rabbit, and it symbolizes the passing of the baton from Tiger to Rabbit. On the foreground, you can see red packets or "hoong pow" in Cantonese. During CNY, elderly and married people will distribute "hoong pow" to the young and unmarried in the family as well as to friends. And lastly, in the background, it is the Malaysian flag.
