Hubby comes from Batu Pahat (BP), located in the northwest coast of the state of Johor. Hills are nearly everywhere, and because of that BP is said to be a prime Fengshui spot. I really need a sprinkle good luck on top of the hard work put in (together with the team) these couple of months, and hopefully the Fengshui town had dusted some of its good fortune on me during the couple of days stay there!
We were back in BP on the eve of Chinese New Year for the horse year after an early eve dinner with our Singapore family. The drive back to BP was short and sweet compared to last year. We were caught in a horrible jam for the dragon year, and ended up missing the eve meal that we travelled back for. Hence, this year we started to make our way back early in the morning. We even managed to get breakfast in BP!
Chinese New Year celebration would usually be in full swing from the eve of Chinese New Year, and firework is a common sight. Our family does not light any but we have a fantastic view from the balcony!
There would usually be a lot of sky lanterns (孔明灯), sending wishes for the year to come. I have yet upgraded my lens (or my skill) to take good picture of the sky lanterns hence no pictures for that. Hopefully I can post some nice pictures of the lanterns in the goat year.
The couple of days in BP was good for a break in the relentless momentum. Looking forward to the next trip back in BP!
