9 must-have items for Chinese New Year

Being a Malay myself, I don’t recall having anything in particular that we need to prepare for Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Aidiladha that symbolic for anything. We just prepare variety of dishes, new clothes and decorate our house for the guest like any other religion would do as celebrating their own ‘raya’.

I was reading The Sun this morning and came across a simple yet informative article regarding how the Chinese celebrates the Chinese New Year. I remember visited my former primary schoolmate -Cheong Ee Wan's house during Chinese New Year and another friend, Narveen's house for Deepavali. Those were the days when I celebrated all the 'raya' in Malaysia. I think I have less multiracial friends now. Or I do, but I just don't share the celebration with them anymore.

We live in Malaysia with different races, religions and cultures. I don’t know if you like to get to know their cultures, but I do. So I’m sharing what I read about celebrating Chinese New Year with those who are interested to know as well.

Boarding any time soon, and i feel sad. This is my first trip to Kota Kinabalu and I've fall in love with Sabah already. Generally, ok. Not with the warrior guy in Monsopiad village *wink* Made a promise to myself that i'll come back one day since there are still many places i didnt have enough time to visit.
One thing for sure, Sabahans are friendly! Love them for that. Kudos!
Cant wait to blog about my trip. ;D

Today marked a history in my own life as it's my very first time coming to Sabah. Means, i've completed all the 13 states in Malaysia. Yay to me! Hehe.
Arrived at KK international airport at 9.36am, took the car from the rental company and headed straight to Gaya Street for its well known Sunday morning market. Gotta do some cuci mata here! Daa!
