Oh, how I miss not being in Malaysia right now...

Lion dance poles performance by Wah Ngai Lion Dance Association at Ala Moana centerstage.
Finally it's Day 1 of the Lunar New Year in Honolulu. Today, I wore a red top, I ate longevity noodles for lunch and to end the workday, I watched these guys do their thing! It was very impressive and I never get tired of seeing how these lion dancers manipulate the head and tail of a Chinese dancing lion while jumping from pole to pole! I am also sure these lion dance performers practice for hours and hours in order to understand and master these performances.
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Sun Nien Fai Lok! Wishing you the five-fold happiness’s of luck, prosperity, longevity, health, and wealth for this Year of the Rabbit! You don’t have to be Chinese to celebrate Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is a time of renewal, reflection, and optimism. It’s a celebration to clear away the old and welcome the new. By looking forward with optimism, generosity, and laughter we invite good luck. And, who doesn’t need a dose of that these days?
P.S: IMO, I felt this year's festivities wasn't as grand as last year...but I'm hoping next year will be BIGGER since it's MY year! ^__^
