Happy Chinese New Year!

(HAIKU)

*******

declutter the home

sweeping out all the bad luck

bringing in good luck!

*******

clear precious excess

reluctantly, with heartaches

cos, all are ‘ treasures’

*******

here comes a new year

a dragon that loves a pearl

ushering new luck!

********

festivities bids

oranges are aplenty

the name, ‘kum’ means gold!

******

new clothes are a must

with new panties, new toothbrush!

sister reminds me!

********

children are happy

with ang pows and fireworks!

mums busy cooking!

*******

Chinese New Year’s here!

have you seen all the places?

beautifully lit!

*******

Chinese New Year’s Eve reunion dinner

********

Chinese New Year’s Eve

for family reunion

at dining table

*******

for longevity

of the elderly persons

presence is vital

*******

granny grandpa eat

papa mama uncle eat

big bro big sis eat

******

it’s a tradition

sounds silly as it may be

but dying culture?

*******

Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.

Guy Fieri

******

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.

Marcus Garvey

*******

Absorbed into nature…

Take a walk into nature

breathing nature

feeling nature

emerge into nature…

refreshed!

I like this Shakespeare quote. It reflects my attitude towards life in general. Love reflects compassion, kindness and generosity. In the modern world, trust a few is being wise. – Toh HL
