Chinese New Year at Kelana Mahkota

Just now at around 4.30pm we had a Chinese New Year Open House for our Kelana Mahkota condo, sponsored by some YB. Lantakla diorang nak berkempen for this coming election, and yes, they did campaign during the speech session... we didn't bother about the speeches.. we just had fun. There were 4 lions dancing by a group named "Muhibah". Muhibah it was as the group comprises mostly Indians. The lion dances are not only performed by the Chinese nowadays... that's a change that I myself am proud of being a Malaysian.

Anyways... here's a short clip of the lion dance.






Some snapshots of the event. Rayyan's cousins, Arifah and baby Sharat happened to come over to our condo unit and had a blast witnessing the event.








At first it was just me and Rayyan. Arifah and Sharat (with my brother Faleigh) joined us later. Mula-mula Rayyan penakut.. even after Arifah was around, but then this happened...



One of the "lions" came to them and I insisted that they shook hands with "it". Surprisingly Rayyan was brave enough to do so.. maybe Arifah ada kot...

But then, lepas dapat salam je dua2 budak baju merah ni pun tiba-tiba je naik "Sheikh"... watch the video...



So lepas penat mengelinjang, apa lagi.. cari air laa... hehe.. but the food was not bad.. chicken curry, sweet sour fish, mixed vege with rice, fried beehoon, curry puffs, and mandarin oranges of course.
