Every 9th day of Chinese New Year is the Jade Emperor's birthday. It is a very important day for Hokkien. My family is Cantonese so no grand celebration and I have been celebrating this day with Doris's family for all these years.
Part of the offering table. You will find vermicelli with red egg and dried Logan.
The front part of the table will only put non meat stuffs like fruits, and sugar cane is a must for the offering. At the back were the roasted pig, with chicken and duck.
Hmm...pink panther in the house...:P
A must-do-thing during the celebration...ahem...
What you see in the center were the paper dolls represent all the family members with a "gui ren" (a lucky charm in Mandarin I suppose) in the front who will guide all of us to a prosperous year ahead.
A giant dragon joss-stick.
Huat ah!! Huat ah!!
Gold paper burning, represents the offering of wealth to the Jade Emperor.
Again...Huat ah!!! Huat ah!!!
Gong Xi Fatt Chai to all my friends and family members!!
