[...] These are photos of what we call “Ipoh old town”. I blogged many times of my Koo Ma’s saloon. This is what the back of it used to look like. And the front looked a little like this. Of course, it will always look new and freshly painted in my mind’s eye. [...]

Hello Jenn, maybe I should properly introduce myself now that I have been following your blogs for some time (Roger from your Against the Grain days’ recommendation). Roger is a friend of mine and thought that a feisty girl like me will someday grow up like you when I have kids )

I think CNY is how u make it lor. u can make ur own traditions with the kids mah.. Tahts what I think.. I know its hard, esp for surrounding atmosphere.. but you can “keep the flame” of tradition going

CNY has never been the same since coming here.. esp if the Asian population is minimal. Sadly we are not really doing much to help “keep it alive” either.

CNY was the best time of the year for me when I was growing up. I remember trying my best to stay up on CNY eve by watching those once in a year special entertainment programmes on tv so that I could “receive” the God of Prosperity” with my mum. When morning comes, I couldn’t wait to wear my new clothes and go to my aunt’s place in Shatin Park where everyone in the “Ng” family would gather. It was noisy but so much fun. My hubby, Ashley and I will be going back to Ipoh on the 1st day of CNY

Hey, I’ve a friend in US who always make sure that her daughters wear CNY clothes (cheongsam) on the 1st day and then all of them would go to Chinatown so that the children will get to know and experience the CNY celebration Kong Hee Fatt Choy to you and your family

sigh… I will probably be raising my non-existent (yet) kids in Canada. There won’t be the usual hustle-bustle of CNY here as well. I’ll do the best I can to make CNY special, for me and for my kids. Cook all the special dishes that I know. We’ll try to go back to M’sia for CNY, you know, for the real thing! before kids have to go to school.

I’m sure your girls’ memories of CNY will be the ones with you and Lokes in it. And I think that is the most important.
