元宵节快乐!Happy Lantern Festival !

Yesterday was Happy Lantern Festival or 元宵节 in Mandarin. It was also called as 'Chap-Goh-Mei' which means 'The Fifteenth Night'. It is a festival celebrated on fifteenth day on first month in the lunisolar year in Chinese calendar.

In Malaysia, those who are still single like to throw the Mandarin Orange (抛柑) to find lover. This activity is quite popular actually. Yesterday not just Lantern Festival but also Valentine's Day for Chinese (东方情人节).

Last time celebrating Lantern Festival with my friends at Ketam which located at Alam Mesra. We eating steamboat until our stomach very full. However, we left some food so we decided to play a game. Anyone that losed need to eat 1 leftovered food. Haha!
