On the Eve of Chinese New Year,i had steamboat in the afternoon at my mother's mother home .Everybody was there accept for my uncle .He was the only exception as he actually work overseas and is very inconvenien for him to just come back for a few days than go back to work.The steamboat was also very delicious.At that night ,I slept at 1.am as I played game game game through out the night.

The very next day,I woke up early in the morning .The thing I did early in the morning were different from all the usual days.I quickly take two big madrine oranges and pay respect to my mother and my father.Theyall gave me and my brother an Hong Bao each.I was surprised of what i receive when i opened the Hong Bao as all the three Hong Bao contain more money of what i expected,and they each gave me $80.After that ,my father drove me to my father's mother house .When we reached there ,it was quite early because no one else reach there except for my second auntie and uncle.I chat with my cousin there,we had quite a good chat as we had not met up for a very long time.Time flies past ,soon all my father brothers arrive and I receive lots of Hong Bao from them.The lunch came very fast,this year lunch is very special as it is cooked by my grandmother personally.After the lunch i went to my mother's mother house.At there,we played some game played during Chinese New Year called the blackjack,usally called "Ban luck"by us.I earned some money,but not alot because we does not play with lots of money at one time.We went to the Japanese village and eat then went home.

On lunar Day two,I went to my fifth auntie house.She lives in a terrace house and it was very beautifully decorated.We had buffet there and we had "Lao Yu Sheng"there.I really enjoyed that place as it is big and can allow me to have lots of freedom.

On the third Lunar Day,my father brought my whole family to vivo city and wtch the movie called "Kung Fu Dunk".The show was marvallous and quite hillarious at some part of the show.But i strongly agreed that the show was rather fake and is somehow in the imaginary world.After the fantastic show ,we went to KFC to have our dinner and went home happily.
On the fourth Lunar day we stayed at home and rest before the holiday ended.
Unfortunately ,the holiday ended so quicly, but I am still in the mood of Chinese New Year because the 15 Days still have not pass yet.I really hope that the next Chinese New Year will come soon.

How i celebrate my Hari Raya by Shahrazaf

Hari raya
Until this very moment, I could still remember how I celebrated my last hari raya puasa. On the eve of Hari Raya, my family and i recited the takbir, which is held in mosques and surau (smaller place of worship). The takbīr or takbeer (تَكْبِير) is the Arabic name for the phrase Allāhu Akbar, الله أكبر. Usually translated "God is great" or "God is [the] greatest," it is a common Arabic expression, used as both an informal expression of faith and as a formal declaration. On top of that colourful lights will be lighted outside my house and my mom will be busy preparing food, cakes, sweets, biscuits and various delicacies to be served on the day of Hari Raya. Usually we would order for our delicacies but that year my parents decided to make some of our own. When everything was ready we went to bed.
On the next day was hari raya and everybody was in a happy mood. The boys in my family wore their newly bought baju kurung and my mom and sister wore their baju kebaya. This year my family wore gold coloured clothes. Before any visiting started, I, my brother and father attended the Eid prayer in the morning and consecrate together harmoniously while taking the chance to meet and greet each other Muslims. I went home after that and before I left the house for the last time to go visiting, my siblings and I asked for forgiveness from all the wrong things we have done throughout the year. After that the visiting started.

CHINESE NEW YEAR

On the night of the eve of Chinese New Year, my family and I went to my father's mother house to eat a delicious reunion dinner. All my uncles, aunties and cousins were present too.

The next day was Chinese New Year. The first thing i did when i woke up was to take two big and juicy oranges to pay respect to my parents. And they gave me an Ang Bao each, containing $100. I was not so shocked at the amount of money i received because i received the same amount every year but i did not know why many people were shocked at this amount of money. After that, my father drove us to my great-grandmother house to pay respect to her and to collect many Ang Baos too. Then, our next destination was to proceed to my father's mother's house. I did not see anybody there yet because we were the first to arrive. Few minutes later, my uncles, aunties and cousins started to appear slowly, one family by one family. When my cousins came, we played ''Ban Luck'' which is known as Blackjack in English and we also played ''Dai Di''. I lost some money but still earned some too. Of course i received a lot of Ang Baos from my uncles and aunties so i bet more. And in the evening, we left my father's mother's house because our final destination for the day was my mother's mother's house. We went there to eat dinner and it tasted wonderful.

On the second lunar day, my father drove us to Suntec City to eat lunch in a japanese restaurant and to watch a movie called CJ7. After that funny movie, we proceeded to my father's 4th brother house for dinner. The dinner was heavenly. After the dinner, I gambled with my cousins again. About midnight, my family and I left that place and went home to have a goodnight sleep.

On the third lunar day, my family decided to rest at home so I have nothing much to talk about.

On the fourth lunar day, my parents brought my brother and I to Suntec City to "Lao Yu Sheng", enjoy the scenery and capture some attractive photos which I am going to post them later. We also went for a few minutes walk around Suntec City. Then we went for a game of bowling. Of course i lost to my father because I was a first-timer but I still had a great game of bowling.

Although the Chinese New Year holidays has ended, I am still in the Chinese New Year mood because it will be lasting for 15days in total. Well, this was how i spent my Chinese New Year holidays and I hope to receive more Ang Bao money next year. How did you spent your's?
