NEW BOWL AND CHOPSTICKS FOR THE NEW YEAR


The bowl and chopsticks above were given to members of my family during the reunion dinner on new year's eve.  A few of my friends from Sitiawan told me that it is a traditional Chinese practice to buy a set of bowl, chopsticks and spoon for the lunar new year as it symbolises wealth, abundance and prosperity for the year ahead.  Yeah!  I forgot to buy the spoon but it is still okay.Using a rice bowl symbolises never ending supply of food and also stability in ones career. This is the second time that I have bought a set for the new year.
