Who is Chap Goh Meh?

Ah..the 15th and last day of CNY, Chap Goh Meh, which is often regarded as the Chinese Valentine's day, it has got to be the throwing of oranges into the river/lake/sea so that desperate single man can dive in to collect as many rotten mandarin oranges left over during the holidays. It is believed that maidens would attract good husbands if they adhere to this practice but for me it's just the last day where you can collect Ang Pow, bummer! Well, like every other year I had to have dinner at home with my family. This year we are having seafood steamboat, yummy!

Talking about last day of CNY, my neighbour has forgotten to give me ang pow this year or have they ran out of red packets? Maybe i should show my face more often outside my porch tonight. Maybe just maybe they will feel guilty not giving me any. :P Gosh, what am i doing, i'm 28 I should be feeling embarassed to collect ang pow whereas I should be giving out. Better hide my face. :)

Cheers!
