Chap Goh Mei

Oh well, it is coming towards the end of this year's Chinese New Year. Single females are supposed to throw mandarin oranges into the river or the sea in hoping that they will be able to secure better luck in getting a better husband next time.


Hey! What about single males then? I was just wondering why the custom of throwing mandarine oranges would only apply to single females. What about single males? Why are they not included? I think it is just a tradition.


On this particular day, we usually have some delicacies to eay to mark the end of the Chinese New Year. It should be a big celebration. Oh yes... If only there is a big celebration in the United Kingdom. It is really hard to see big chinese new year celebration in the whole United Kingdom. I mean, you can only see the spirit within the bigger chinese community which is currently located in London, Manchester and Cardiff. Please forgive me if I am wrong as I do not know other places besides these three places which has CNY celebration. Manay apologies!!!


Have fun!!!
