在小村過年

小村里的居民每年年初一凌晨要到村子里的观音庙上香,过后就到村子里另一个拿督公庙去拜拜。

 年初二则相反,先去拿督公庙拜拜,然后才去观音庙上香,以示公平。

在拿督公庙等家婆拜拜,看见一个小女孩跟着家人来拜拜,问她几岁,她竖起四根手指表示四岁。

好多年前的新年,老公带着三四岁的老大陪家婆来拿督公庙拜拜,老大看见拿督公庙附近有一只母鸡带着一群小鸡在觅食,产生了莫大的好奇,久久不愿离去。

问他为什么不肯回家,他说,“我要等老鹰来,我要看母鸡怎样保护小鸡。”

Beginning with Dragon year the first day, traditionally chinese culture is to pray and godship of wishes and hopes as a starter of the whole year fortune and luck.

However the events take place for minimum 15 days as everyday believe to a special day in chinese lunar year.

Modernisation and in search of lifelyhood has bypass most of the cultural and traditional style of the olden ways in the chinese community.

However the spirits and gathering as a united family must be uphold
Especially in the auspicious lunar new year to share the laughter and happy moment among each individual family headed by the elderly parents as a whole.

May the year of Dragon brings to all prosperous and peaceful !
