Lion dance on the 6th day of CNY 31st jan 09

This year is slightly Different from last year as the Lions are brand new sponsered by Derek.1 for himself and 1 for me and Ranielle.We had to 'kai guang' something like awake the lions using a paintbrush dabbed in red paint starting with the eyes and the rest of the body followed by the Lion dance.Very interesting and somewhat fun and of course very loud as they were banging on the drums and clashing the cymbals in the house.Ranielle was bored though and fell asleep.Purpose of the lion dance..hmm,for good luck and health and for Derek to show gratitude to the buddha.
Well in the end,We all enjoyed ourselves and that's important too.
