Lion Dance at wai gong & wai po's house

.
The best three things about Lunar New Year are firstly, ang pow; secondly, ang pow; and thirdly ang pow.

But I'm going to blog about the fourth best thing - lion dance.

It came to wai gong and wai po's house. So, while people got themselves busy preparing for the dance, I took the chance to mess with the lion head.




Of course lion dance troupe is well-known for its stunt and kung-fu, so we hung a vegetable at a height, with ang pow attached to it, so that we could see the lion dance troupe performing their stunt. But then hor, the higher you hang the vegetable, the bigger the ang pow you need to pack. So, it was decided that if I could reach the vegetable, then the lion dance troupe should have no problem. So, I have had the honour of conducting the QC check.




Now that everything is in place, we are getting ready for the dance.




And here we go...





And finally, then vegetable...


By the way, what do you call a lang sai (in Hokkien) that does not dance? Definitely not Lion Dance. Human Lion?
