8th-9th Day of Chinese New Year (年初八-九)

On the 9th day of CNY , its the birthday of the Jade Emperor (天公) . Its an important day for the Hokkien peoples ! We did preparations for the offering to the Jade Emperor on the day before .

We did the offering on 12 a.m. (exactly 9th day ) . The offering include : sugar cane (the most important one) , fruits and also roasted pig . But this year , we didn't offer roasted pig because my uncle didn't order . So sad . 'Gold paper' (kim chua ) is also very important for the offering .

This day were celebrated very grand especially in Penang , because most of the people in Penang are Hokkien !

At excact 12 a.m. , the sound of fire crakers can be hear everywhere , and the sky will covered with beautiful fire works !
