Penang Heritage & Cultural Chinese New Year Celebration 2012

Chinese New Year 2012

Chinese New Year is pretty much the same to me most of the years...You get up early in the morning, meet up with cousins, go makan-makan with cousins and families....then hang around....then head back to cousins' hotel to chill, then go for a swim...then after out we go again to chill for a bit... that's pretty much the same old routine for me...

This year around, I heard from a friend that there is CNY-celebration-sort-of-thing going on at the city itself...without hesitation, I told my friend.....

"LET'S GO yo!!!"

XD

You guys gotta read on this post and check out the pictures, the Chinese New Year's decorations with the heritage building in Penang..simply makes it superbly amazing! you be the judge later!
