Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival is the most important of the
traditional Chinese holidays. It is often inaccurately called "Lunar New Year", because—as part of the
lunisolar Chinese calendar—the date is partially determined based on
lunar phase. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (
Chinese: 正月;
pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends with
Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day.

Night Market)?
The Mandarin orange, also known as the mandarin or mandarine (both lower-case), is a small
citrus tree (Citrus reticulata) with fruit resembling other
oranges. The fruit is
oblate rather than
spherical. Mandarin oranges are usually eaten plain or in fruit salads. Specifically reddish-orange mandarin cultivars can be marketed as
tangerines, but this is not a
botanical classification.
The tree is more drought-tolerant than the fruit. The mandarin is tender, and is damaged easily by cold. It can be grown in tropical and subtropical areas.
A hamper is a primarily British term for a
wicker basket, usually large, that is used for the transport of items, often food.
In CNY - Hamper is good stuff for sign of love, care and relationship.
Night Market in RAJA UDA...........................
Pasar malam is an
Malay and
Indonesian word that literally means night market, "pasar" being related to "
bazaar" in
Persian. A pasar malam is a
street market in
Malaysia,
Singapore and
Indonesia that opens in the evening, usually in residential neighbourhoods.
It brings together a collection of stalls that usually sell goods such as
fruits,
vegetables,
snacks,
toys, clothes, shoes, alarm clocks, and ornaments at cheap or at least reasonable prices. Pirated DVDs, CDs and computer software are often sold at a pasar malam. A pasar malam often takes place only one to a few days of the week, as the traders rotate around different neighbourhoods on different days of the week. Haggling over prices is a common practice at such markets.
