... was over loooong time ago, I know. But I suspect you also know that #latepost is the modus operandi around here, so.... rather than wasting all these golden documentary.... better late than never.
This year's Chinese New Year found us at the same spot as last year, doing the exact same thing: waiting for the Lion and the Dragon.
And just like the previous year, the troupe was late, again. So, I guess if you want, you can also blame all these dragon and lions for setting such bad precedent.
Still, some good thing did come from all the wait, because we were joined by Kecil's friend, Mary from the neighbourhood.
So, together they watched the antics of the dragon and the lions.
With a friend in tow, Kecil became more daring this year. She actually went closer to the 'animals' to touch them. Also when there were goodies thrown around by the lions:
And you think that that would be the end of it, right? Not quite. We went to the next mall, where another lion dance was scheduled.
It was not our first choice because, although the troupe there appeared pretty much on time, this mall was smaller, and MIGHTY crowded!
Still, the close quarters mean we got to have a VERY close look of the Lion, from a prime vantage point too:
... on Mama's & Daddy's shoulder, indeed. Haha...
For obvious reasons, we did not stay too long there. Man, they might be skinny, but at 5 and 6 years old, these kids still packed some weight!
Well, even with all the late 'modus operandi', late dragon/lion appearance, we did get to see our Lion dance to mark the Lunar New year. Let's say we are ready to ROAR this year, yes?
I think that's what Kecil was trying to say, anyway.
Cheers, and wishing you a good year of the Horse so far!
