The Ninth day of CNY which usually refers to Tian Gong Tan (Heavenly God's Day)
The Taoist back in the olden days would pray towards the sky for blessing from God..

LYRICS!

Baby it breaks my heart that you don't smile any more
I'm dying to help you heal but won't unlock your door
They say it takes time, but you don't have to spend it alone.

Stuck in a memory that you're desperate to rewind
Too busy with looking back that you won't make another try
Now your trust is gone but you won't find it again on your own.

Don't go telling me it's too late to start
You're still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in, maybe you could start again
Don't go telling me there's no second chance
You'll understand when you take my hand
And baby let me in, I promise we will start again

I'm trying to get to you, so I make these promises
I swear they're unbreakable, but you're still just hearing his
He won't let you go, till you decide that you want to be free

You're haunted by yesterdays and still sore from the fall
And all you need whitewash these old walls
We'll paint something new, if you let yourself listen to me.

So don't go telling me it's too late to start
You're still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in, maybe you could start again
Don't go telling me there's no second chance
You'll understand when you take my hand
And baby let me in, I promise we will start again

Don't give up yet
I won't let you close the curtain too soon
We can reset
If you take the leap and let me show you
Just gotta make the choice.

We love, we lose
And you think the best defense is distance
Tune the world out
Put it all on mute so you can't listen
But there's a way out of here
Just follow my voice
So don't go telling me it's too late to start
You're still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in...

So don't go telling me it's too late to start
You're still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in, maybe you could start again
Don't go telling me there's no second chance
You'll understand when you take my hand
And baby let me in, I promise we will start again

So don't go telling me it's too late to start
You're still holding a broken heart
But if you let me in, maybe you could start again

~Pic of the Day~the lion dance costume

The lion dance is closely associated to Chinese New Year as it not only brings auspicious meanings but also help bring what CNY is today..

It is said that long ago in China there's this evil creature called Nian that keeps attacking & destroying villager's livestock on the new year..

One day the villagers discovered that this beast is afraid of red colour and hence use it to ward it off.. Besides that Nian is also afraid of loud noise and fearsome creatures, and hence the lion dance is created to chase Nian away..

It's Chinese New Year & the celebration is on!
This year as the years before, my family & I went to my grandma's house..

Before going there, my mom decide to visit 'Yap Temple' which is similar to my Yeap..
It's for those Chinese decendents of the sur name Yap/Yeap/Yip (叶)..


Then we visit to my mom's workplace which happends to be directly opposite to this temple..


It's Chinese New Year and I plan to make my blog a little special..

CNY last for 15 days (starting from 3rd of Feb), so for these 15 days I'm gonna post 1 picture that have connection about CNY..
These pictures are not found on the net, but are captured by me with my BenQ DC C740i..

Since I'm 3 days late, so I'm gonna post 3 pictures that have relation with CNY..
