Today title is CHINESE NEW YEAR.
Months before the Chinese New Year, enthusiastic crowds of shoppers searched everywhere (but especially at Chinatown) for everything that signifies the festival. Some of the goodies include mandarin oranges, barbequed pork, pineapple tarts, and the age old custom of "ang pow" (red packets for good luck and health) as well as the famous reunion feast on the eve of the Chinese New Year.
The chinese community also shops for new clothes, new household items and the favourite colour of the period will most definitely be red. The colour that signifies luck, prosperity, health and all things good. Younger members of the family will visit relatives and friends and family relationships are remembered. The Chingay parade adds to the festive atmosphere with lion and dragon dances, acrobats and decorated floats taking to the streets.
