We were looking forward to the fire crakers 'show' around our neighbourhood on the eve of Chinese New Year. We were also expecting the lion dance on the New Year too.
But there were none!
It didn't look or sound like Chinese New Year. Most of our neighbours had 'balik kampung'.
Yesterday, while Champion and President was having their afternoon nap, a loud noise, woke them up. I knew immediately it was the lion dancers. Hooray!
We ran out to the porch. At first, Champion was a bit afraid to see the lion dance. He wanted to get back in the house. "No, we can't get back in the house. We will miss it!" So, I talked to him, made him all excited.. Soon enough, he too was looking forward to the lion dancers to come out of the house (they we inside at that time).
He liked it. But who enjoyed it the most? It was lil' President. He was bouncing away in my arms. He loved the drum beats. To end the show, both of them were not even afraid of the loud red crakers that were lit after the dance!
My neighbours wanted to have them dance at their place. Unfortunately, this group of dancers said that they were personally called by the owner of that house, and made that trip specially for them. Hmmmpphh, how could they say that? But never mind, our neighbours said that later this week there will be more lion dance groups going round, and they will invite them over.
And guess who want a lion dance performance too? Apps! Yeap, he told them that he too wants the dancers to come to our house...
Ooooo, I can't wait..

I'm still trying to catch one lion dance performance so that Zara can see it.. but so far, none came to our housing estate yet.
It's the little tangering leaf working.... :-)
zara's mama,

wow so nice...got close up lion dance to watch :)
our condo management sponsored pretty extravaganza lion dances (with climbing poles and stuff) for the past CNYs but there is none this year-i wonder why?
anyway, glad that i still get to see it in your blog :)
jazzmint,
yeah, and luckiyly my sons enjoyed it as well. Otherwise, Iwill have to see from far only..
two little fellas,
so sad.. It seems like this year there were very less lion dance around. Only saw one lion dance lorry driving on the highway. Is it getting more expensive?
Yeap, for those who didn't get to see the lion dance, here it is.. :P
that is soooooo cool! i wish i could invite them over to my place to perform, but i am not sure if they perform at condos :p
Hey, those are 2 very nice Lion. Can you believe it, I have not seen one this year untill dropping by at your blog, how ironic hor??
sfo,
condos? I don't know. They will think twice if they have to climb the staircase, and it will be funny to see it come up in the lift! LOL.
