This year XinYang and YongYang were pushing themselves all the way to pluck green everyday during Chinese New Year. This was partly due to their growth in reputation and also their increase in operational cost to maintain items like rental and equipment.
However, that also provided me some flexibility to support these highly committed juniors for some lion dancing fun this year. As such, I took a day off on a Friday, the fifth day of CNY, to join the team and Shin Yang happily accompanied me. It was a long time since she came along, and the first time was in 1995, 21 years back now.

It was really enjoyable hitting the drum hard and adding to the CNY atmosphere. Coincidentally, Mandarin Gallery, where Dor worked, was also a stop for us that day. The crowd in Orchard Road was encouraging to boost everyone's morale to give a good show. The Fortune God and Monkey God mascots also engaged the crowd well and created a lot fun. Although at the end of the day, we were totally exhausted and I had a few blisters, it was another enjoyable and memorable day.
