This also marked as the last day of CNY celebrations and my CNY series. Typically Chap Goh Mei is also known as Yuan Xiao Jie 元宵节, and some would also referred as Lantern Festival. Some of the things we do on this day are as follows:
1) Chinese Valentines' Day (In modern terms, it is like tinder, but without the internet.) Get to know people.
2) Eat Tang Yuan also known as glutinous rice ball filled with red bean, sesame, or peanut.
3) Reunion Dinner where family gathers together for dinner.
4) Go to the temple to pray for a good year ahead.
It is my first year to visit Sembawang God of Wealth Temple to pray for great wealth and safety.
Also visited Loyang Tua Pek Kong to pray for safety and wealth. To live a honest life doing what I can for this year ! Happy 元宵节 to all ! As it mark the end of CNY celebration, this is the last post on my 15 days CNY series :)
