Chinese New Year will be here soon - yes, 31st January this year! I was at Fair Price Supermarket this morning and wow, the crowds! Long queues waiting to pay the cashiers.
We've been spring cleaning! It took me a whole afternoon just do clean the wall fans. The older you get the slower you work. This is something we have to learn to accept. There is a lot of pollution around here and the blades of the fans are coated with dust of the months.
We've already bought or given some cookies, sweets, nuts and packet drinks.
I went to the bank nearby to exchange old notes for new. It is the custom to give 'hong baos' (red packets) using new notes.
We are in the year of the snake. It will slither out and on Friday morning the horse will gallop in.
Being a Christian does not mean we abandon our own culture and traditions as long as they do not conflict with the teachings of Scripture.
