    Kuching cat statue greeting public in cheongsam to celebrate the coming Chinese new Year. “Meow Meow” may this year brings more awesome cash and abundance of love and good health. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

    In China the main attraction for tourist would be visiting the statue of the modern father Dr. Sun Yat-Sen. I know you’re familiar with Statue of Liberty in NYC but In Kuching we have cat statue.


    Kucing in Malay means Cat. The local Melayu Sarawak call it Pusak.

    We have 3 (almost) identical cats statue in Kuching but the one shown here is special – This cat get a cloth change in every festival.

    Where to See 1 of the 3 Kucing Statue?

    Like many of you, I was shopping around looking for CNY foods, Snack, cookies, cards, cloths, (chickens, ducks, porks?) and etc… So how different is this year comparing to last year and the year before and the year before that? The holiday mood is moody.

    I greet one of the lady boss who sell CD & DVD “Gong Xi Fa Chai”! She responded to me say it would be better for 心想事成！ (xīn xiǎng shì chéng ) Meaning better to dream comes true than “Fa Chai” good wealth! Ah… sometime I just am impressed by businessmen and gal! They are not wrong at all, 2009 is going to be harder than 2008! In fact Q1 of 2008 was still fantastic!

    I grew up here so I kinda love this place although there are nicer shopping places around :)

    Wishing you and beloved family, 心想事成!

    Mandarin Orange, abundance healths, loves and Prosperity.

    Season’s greetings and sincere wishes for a bright and happy New Year! 献上节日的问候与祝福, 愿你拥有一个充满生机和欢乐的新年。

    Chinese believe in mandarin orange. The pronunciation in Cantonese will translate into what we known has “Gold”. Hope this season you do have lot of Chinese Orange display on your table for good luck and prosperous year a head. Good fortune, great result…

    Red & Prosperity

    Ang Pao - Chinese Red Packets

    Visiting and “Ang Pao” (Red Packet with cash) was a norm in Chinese community. This day young children will get abundance of loves and wealth from their parents and grandparents in the hope that future children would return the good deed when their parent aged. For poor Chinese community they do accept red packet with red color paper in it as a symbol of appreciation and understanding. In Malaysia other ethic example “Malay” has also adopt this tradition by giving “Green Packet” to children. Myth: unmarried men or women should not give “Ang Pao” to any one… you will have bad luck finding your match and worse still not getting married… forever! (Umm that’s explain why I am still not married)

    Red brings good luck and happiness this is the tradition and believes. Whenever a big celebration example wedding, moving in new home, birthday and etc red color would be the color of choice. Chinese uses only red ink on tomb stone. For whatever reasons please do not use red ink to write especially their name.

    Music

    Chinese, likes many ethnic has their own identity display through way of life, cloth, foods and music! I like to dedicate you a very beautiful Chinese new year song for this beautiful season! The original song was sang by Kelly Chan but was recomposed to reflex Chinese identity and tradition.

    New Year

    This is the only days of the year where Chinese visit each other to feel the bonding again. Chinese work really hard, they travel to cities looking for fortune, leaving their families and friends behind was the only option. Every New Year, Chinese would pay special attention to their fortune & wealth – buying new cloth, shoes, and giving “Ang Pao” to their parents to shows their success & appreciation.

    In Malaysia, Chinese welcome every one to visit their home during Chinese New Year. Since this was a practices ever since the independence of Malaysia. All ethnic and races would visit each others during Hari Raya, Gawai, Christmas, Deepavali (Diwali) wedding, and etc… we serve soft drink, cakes and cookies, you might find alcohol drinks during open house. (No alcohol drinks for Hari Raya)

    You love the cookies & tidbit above? :) I like to take this opportunity to say Hi and wishing a Happy Chinese New Year to the following bloggers.

    The Spring Interior

    I took these photos on Jan 12, 2008. If you have not been to The Spring, well this is for you. The idea of shopping mall in Kuching is over whelming. I pay a visit again last saturday, more shops were open @ HSL, Sony and many more. You can head over to both shops now for their 32 inches LCD promotion.

    Both Samsung & Sony 32 inches LCD is for only RM2888 – RM3300! If you know what you are looking for, these 2 selection might fit the bill for your Chinese New Year new shinning screen!

    Patrons love to throw coins into the water fountain. Rauth commented that it’s was a superstition and yeah I totally agreed. Looks like the Spring management frequently has to stop the fountain to do clean up, taking the coins out.
