Leap to your destined one

I feel that this illustration that I published last week just fits this week's IF theme.

元宵節，情人節 Chinese Lovers' Day

　　元宵節，情人節，花好月圓，有沒有人到河边抛柑呀？

　　在马來西亚，單身男女在元宵節聚集到河边或湖边抛柑，並在柑上面写下姓名和联络方式，希望就此结识可以携手相伴的有缘人！当然今时今日，看热闹湊热闹玩闹的人居多，但认真的人也不少！

　　祝愿天下有心人可以早日找到意中人！

　　Today, the 15th day of the 1st lunar month on Chinese Calendar, is the Lantern Festival. It's also well-known as the Chinese Lovers' Day (Chinese Valentine's Day)!

　　In Malaysia, we have a special festival for those who are still searching for their other half. They gather at the river bank, throw tangerines (with their name and contacts on it) into the river, and hopefully their message could go to their destined partner in life! Once again, the Chinese tangerines play a big role in this festive day!

A Prosperous Year 新年旺旺

 

　　家里这两棵黄梨可真会应景，赶在新年前结了果！黄梨黄梨，“旺來旺來”，祝大家新年旺旺，好景连年！

　　Pineapple “黄梨”(pronounce "onn-lai" in "Hokkien" - a Chinese dialect)，which means "Here Comes the Prosperity". These pineapple plants in our yard managed to bear fruit before Chinese New Year, I assume that this is a good sign for the coming year. LOL!

The Chinese Tangerine

This is a tangerine "桔" (pronounce "ji"), a must have item for Chinese New Year. It shares the same pronunciation with the word "吉", which means "auspicious". We wish that every year comes with an auspicious beginning and the luck will continue throughout the year.
I specially dedicate this BIG "吉" to poor Sherry Rogers who's hurt her thumb. Hopefully this can console her a bit. Best Regards.

祝大家　吉祥如意，万事顺心，添寿添金，大吉大利！
