We welcome Lion Dance on 11 February 2019 as it was the first day working day after 2019 Lunar New Year holiday break.

All employees are pleased and excited to see the lion movements which match the music played by drum and cymbal.

In Chinese traditional beliefs, the loud music, along with the firecrackers and lion movements, are used to scare away “evil spirits” so that good luck and fortune will follow.

Lying on the floor the leaves are ‘chewed’ by the lion while the musicians play a dramatic rolling crescendo. The lull is broken as the lion explodes back into activity, spitting out the leaves.

This is a symbol of blessing by the lion, with the spitting out of the leaves signifying an abundance, prosperous and fruitful year ahead.

This is because a long time ago Chap Goh Meh was the only day that young maidens were allowed to dress up and stroll on the street, albeit having to be accompanied by fierce chaperones. Young men would then go out, hoping to catch a sight of the rarely-seen maidens. Young women also went to temples to pray, hoping for the heavens to send them a suitable match. Matchmakers took the opportunity to strike up marriages between eligible individuals.

There is a new twist to the practice these days, with women writing their phone numbers and email addresses on the oranges before tossing them into spots in the hope that the fruits would be picked up by eligible young men who would be their future spouse.

This “double celebration” will only occurs every 19 years, we take this opportunity to celebrate this day by holding a pot luck lunch party in the office. A lot of dishes such as spaghetti, fried bihun, vegetarian fried rice, bread with curry chicken, fruit rojak, bubur cha cha, Vietnamese spring roll and steam ‘年糕’ (kuih bakul) had been served.

The loud music, along with the firecrackers and lion movements, are used to scare away “evil spirits” so that good luck and fortune will follow.

Happy Snake Year, Ulala.
人 和 家 顺 年 年 好， 平 安 如 意 步 步 高。
