The Chinese Countdown

DSC09378

This area where I live is called ‘Sembawang’, so in chinese, it is with a special connotation like, ‘Wang4′ which means PROSPER…and many cars (that one long row of car lights) were queuing outside this temple (see the spot with the brightest light, the most brightly lit!) just before twelve o’clock. It’s strange as we followed the chinese custom but with the ‘western’ clock in terms of timing;)

These people are normally superstitious, they wanna be the first to put the ‘incense’ for the ‘Fortune God’ in this temple, this way, to gain good fortune for the new piggy year!

The Chinese Zodiac links twelve animals to a cycle of twelve years. This year it’s the year of the pig.
