Chinese New Year is coming soon

前天我收到 CS寄來新年e卡及几個纲頁，我一打開那纲頁，即听到一些欢慶的新年歌，真是让我很驚喜。在这里我根本還没感覺一絲华人新年的氣息… 啊！現在听着新年歌，那种心情真的是不一樣。

在馬來西亞，檳城州是最有华人農歷新年的氣氛，商家於聖誕節后都開始張掛华人新年的裝飾，播放新年歌…

我向 Steve 解釋说，“华人過新年為期十五天（初一至十五日），大多數人第一天都要穿新衣，我们也得趕快去買至少一套的新衣！”

雖然美國到马來西亞的机票很貴约US$1600每位，但我们今年已決定在华人新年期间回去檳城與親朋戚友見面慶祝，最重要的是我一想到可以再吃檳城的食物，我就很高兴！哈哈…

檳城的朋友们，要不要見見面呢？

Two days ago, I received a Chinese New Year (CNY) e-card and a few links from a friend, CS. When I clicked the links, I felt surprised by these CNY songs. Here, I didn’t feel any spirit or flavor that CNY is coming soon… Ah! Now, my mood is different when I listen to the CNY songs.

Penang is a place that has the liveliest Chinese New Year atmosphere in Malaysia. After Christmas, the shops will decorate for the Chinese New Year festival and play Chinese New Year songs…

I was explaining to Steve, “Chinese celebrate 15 days, from the 1^st until the 15^th day of the first lunar month (this year it starts on Feb 7.) Most Chinese wear new clothes on the first day. We shall go to buy at least one new suit of clothes soon!”

Even though the air ticket from the USA to Malaysia is expensive, about US$1600, we decided to go back to Penang during CNY to see my family and friends. The important thing is I feel so happy when I know I can have Penang food again! Ha-ha…

My dear friends in Penang, would you like to meet with me?
