CNY firework1

CNY firework2


So i joined the BFF for the fireworks outing, strange that the night was really clear in bandar. We waited for the fireworks to lit up and it was so grandis! Colourful and all.. But most of the pictures that we took are spoiled by the thick white smokes from the fireworks. There were totally no wind to blow the smokes away from the beautiful displays. Oh well, its better than nothing.. hehe this is for you

The Golden Lion

The Making

The golden dragon

A Tradition during Chinese New Year

Hokien Troops 2


Lucky Sunday, the Fang Shui was in the air this morning when i went to get my studio lighting tools. There were two Lion Dance troupe wandering about on the streets of Kumbang Pasang giving blessings to the shops around that area.

It's been a week that the Chinese Community in Brunei celebrated the arrival of the new year of the Ox a conservative year, one of traditions and values and a slow and steady year. It is also believed by the Chinese that this ox year will bring stability and growth where patience and diligence pays off.


The Pink Lion

I used to be scared to this lion dance (mythical creature) thing back when i was a kid. =p I like it when the Lion moves around wildly and with attitude. They're so cute especially when it moves its little tail which symbolize that its happy.

The Drummer

The Drummer, plays an important role in any Lion Dance Show. This symbolizes the awakening of the lion. Just like the Snake Cobra being tamed by its musician, the lion, dances to the beats of the drums.

Blessing of the pink lion


So, when the Lion is really awake and hyper, it will basically wander around and hunting for food around it. Usually, if you have noticed or if you ever wonder why theres a green vegetable (cabbage) attached with the red packet, it is to give them more energy for them to wander about the area and vanish all the evil spirits or bad lucks.
