Chinese New Year fiesta at Bandar Bukit Puchong

It was such a fun filled day at Bandar Bukit Puchong today because the developer of this township threw a great fiesta in celebration of the Chinese New Year. The so called Prosperity Fun Fiesta started as early as 11:30am but I wasn’t able to make it before 1:30pm so I unfortunately missed the lunch which was provided free! In fact there was still food left when I reached the venue opposite of the sales office, but because I was too busy taking photos, I had to starve for the sake of bring you good pictures! 🙂

Let’s check out what I brought back from the fiesta. Today, we don’t talk about tech, Streamyx broadband, Internet, make money online, etc OK?

God of prosperity

First, say “hi” to the God of prosperity. Wish him Happy New Year and he will make sure your 2008 is filled with abundance of wealth and good health!

Emcee

The emcee for the event. She was beautiful and very cheerful.

The God of prosperity gave angpows and oranges to the children. After that the stage was taken over by the Chinese acrobatic stunt show. What’s unbelievable was that it was performed by a pair of old folks! They could be a couple, although I wasn’t too sure about that.

Chinese acrobatic

Some of the tricks they performed include the above head balancing action which won applauses from the audience.

Stunt

The above trick was pretty amazing too. You need very quick and trained hands and eyes to do something like that. Basically, he balanced not one, but 8 spinning bowls on 8 bamboo sticks! This had really got the audience on their feet!

Dancing

After that we were really delighted to enjoy some great Chinese songs and dances from some children dressed in beautiful new year costumes.

Girl singing

Look at the concentration and dedication this girl showed! Glad she didn’t put the microphone into her mouth… haha…

Fan dance

Fan dance is a must for a fiesta like this. This girl performed gracefully… I just had to snap a picture of her to show you.

Mandarin oranges

Next up was one of the most anticipated event, which was the Mandarin oranges eating competition. Each participating group had to finish the given oranges, and those who finished first win some great hampers. Some participants were seen galloping the oranges like he had just been released from a prison! Haha…

Steady uncle

This uncle didn’t win anything because he was too steady… he took his time with the oranges. Uncle, let me participate next time. Sure win one! 🙂

Angpow dip

Angpow dip. On such a merry occasion, Bukit Hitam Development, the developer of this township decided to share its wealth with the audience. Some lucky people walked away happily with some red packets filled with cash! Too bad I wasn’t called to go onto the stage to collect a red packet.

Anyway, do enjoy the following video!
