Happy Chap Goh Meh

Chap Goh Meh is to mark the last day of Chinese New Year... huhuhu no more ang pow. Din even collect much this year. As I'm getting older, red packet getting lesser. Hmmhhph!

The occasion is marked by feasting and various festivities, including the consumption of tangyuan. In traditional Chinese culture, it is also celebrated as the Lantern Festival or the Shang Yuan Festival. In Southeast Asia, however, it coincides with the Chinese Valentine's Day. It is also when young unmarried women gather to toss tangerines into the sea, in a hope that their future spouse will pick it up – a custom that originated in Penang. In the past, this was also the only day that unmarried ladies could be seen with their partners.(hahah.. this is so yesterday) Article taken from Wikipedia.
