Every year, when the clock strike 12.00am on the eve of 30th day of last month in chinese calender, it's marked the first day of Lunar Chinese New Year. As usual, almost every chinese home, who are Buddhist or Taoist in religion, will start the god praying ceremony (as in every first and 15th day of every month in chinese calender) and the famous God of Prosperity Invitation (Jip Choi San) ceremony. The said two ceremony can be done at the same time. My home is not excluded from this two ceremony. Below are some shot I taken...
