Dover Park Hospice CNY Performance Feb'12

Hi guys, 

Here's the belated post on the annual Dover Park Hospice CNY Performance!

Here are some of the highlights, more photos are uploaded here

YTCCCO's CNY Celebration! 2012 :D

Hi guys! 

I hope CNY has been a blast for you (minus the homeworks and assignments), its an uplifting festival where families and friends get together to celebrate the start of a lunar new year. Though i would agree the best part is still the 红包 :P 

Anyway, ytccco had a 捞鱼生 on the 人日( the seventh-day of CNY ). 2 bowls of 鱼生 is prepared and everyone equipped with their chop sticks; starts the fun.

On a side note, heres a little information about what goes into our 鱼生(:

- Raw fish added, symbolising abundance and excess through the year. 年年有余

- Pomelo or lime is added to the fish, adding luck and auspicious value. 大吉大利

- Pepper is then dashed over in the hope of attracting more money and valuables. 招财进宝

- Oil is poured out, circling the ingredients and encouraging money to flow in from all directions. 一本万利

- Carrots (红萝卜)are added indicating blessings of good luck. 鸿运当头

- Shredded green radish is placed symbolising eternal youth. 青春常驻

- Shredded white radish is added - prosperity in business and promotion at work. 风生水起

- The condiments are finally added.

- Peanut crumbs are dusted on the dish, symbolizing a household filled with gold and silver. 金银满屋
