Chap Goh Meh?

Redness! Haha! Am like a walking Ang Pow today. I ❤ red actually...it is bright and close to the heart? Plus the 'wing-like' sleeves of the dress...a big red packet I was! Thanks to the black pants & shoes to add a lil bit of tinge to the redness.
Well, has it been 15 days to CNY? I remembered something abt the 15th day being known as Chap Goh Meh. (pardon me if I got the spelling wrong) Asked a fellow colleague...a Chinese if there is something abt the 15th day being called 'chap goh meh', am surprised when she said she never heard the word before! Oh yes...I might hv pronounced it wrongly...nah! I don't think so coz another colleague proved me right! Nyehehehe!
Well, not to say I am 'talking big' or what...but for something like this to like disappear? When it is not known...means it is no longer practiced?
I can say that even now...some families are no longer doing 'reunion dinner' for the Chinese. And Malays...not wearing traditional clothes during Hari Raya visiting...this can be sad huh? Traditions disappearing just like that...what went wrong?
Anyway...that's another point. Back to my ootd....wore my Timberlands today. And coincidentally, today is the last day of Feb...it's been like 2 mths since I wore them! Well, thanks to the new pairs that I bought in Dec...hehe! These pair is still in awesome condition...and the comfort...never did change! ;D
