LION DANCE @ MUMSIE'S HOUSE

Every year on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year
traditionally the 'lion' will come to dance in Mumsie's house...At first only mumsie and the family
(with all mumsie's little ones) were there to welcome the lion..then mumsie brought some staffs from CSM...then mumsie invited her staff...and started 3 yrs ago mumsie invited all her staff and their families...to welcome the lion into mumsie's house.. Coincidently for the past 2 years (and also this year) whenever the lion arrives...daddy is @ CSM delivering babies and the lion gotta to wait for him ..See ...the lion dancers are not complaining cos mumsie invited them in to have lunch...yeah mumsie usually have some 'nice halal food' for her staff...

See the lion @ the entrance......daddy took some time to come home so someone suggested that she should dance around the house first...

This year the lion is really putting in a lot of effort and energy (makes mumsie wonder whether next year's angpow should be bigger... they keep on changing 'dancers' and performed very well , maybe the crowd watching was very encouraging....cheering them all the way.

They even have a 'dancing plan' laid out.

This is their 'target' see the angpow...

This year they went round the whole house...gotta to wait for daddy before they start the actual 'dancing'

According to Mr Lee their leader this year's lion is NEW

They come with their muscians!

See even mumsie's gold fish gotta to see them. The lion is standing on the bridge of mumsie's gold fish pond...hope Stone 1 and Stone 2 (mumsie's turtles) won't get a heart attack with the lion 'prancing ' around them

The lion gotta to go upstairs to pay respect to mumsie's altar....Yeah she gotta to bow 3 times at the altar...tradition..she does this yearly

Over heard some of the boys (the lion troupe) said this house AHMEN house (christian God)

Mumsie got the altar all lighted up
