In the sense of family togetherness
在家庭团结的意义上

Chinese New Year is Coming Again and this time is the Earth Dog Year!

Like other festive, to me CNY brings a lot of colorful and meanings through their 12 year-cycle zodiacs. Therefore, for 2018 starting February 16th, it will be the year of the Earth Dog. I prefer not to elaborate about the zodiac as I am not the ‘Feng Shui’ Master, but I proud to take part of this competition because of 2 good reasons. One, I can connect to as many steemians outhere through fun way, such this taking part in Mandarin Orange competition and two, I can share about CNY celebration with my kids and why we should not miss the opportunity to see how its been celebrated by chinese friends and learn about different culture. Since, both of my kids like to watch youtube channel about continents, countries and its flags, so I believe it is much easier for me to include Chinese culture in Malaysia through my oranges deco!

Here is my simple description about my deco :

I peeled 2 oranges and took only the skin and cut it, to make it looks like a gold ingot (i hope I write it right) which I relate it with wealthy! For the red ang pow, I use one of my jewellery necklace pocket bag (since I don’t have one) which symbolize the energy, happiness and good luck to all steemians.

CNY is just around the corner. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to wish every steemians who celebrated it , ‘A Happy Chinese New Year and ‘May the Coming New Year brings all steemians more Good Health, Good Fortune, Good Luck and Much Happiness!
