Chinese new year taboo.

On a serious note, my mum in London already got her friend who came back to pass me a CNY angpao. As usual, since young for me is change beddings on CNY eve, then put her CNY angpao inside the pillow case. Sleep over it, first day of CNY open. God knows what it is for? Kinda stupid, but anyway, just do as she said.

Cannot cut hair , cannot cut nail , cannot shave , cannot wash hair, cannot piak at 12mn and first 3 days.
4th day onwards cannot piak at 8min timing example 1.08 pm 2.28pm 3.38 am
All cannot .
Till day 8 then can.

Must wear new clothes including underwear, especially on day one. Better still, wear a new set of clothes everyday for the first three days

Soon some kuku will say CNY cannot bathe for 14 days, otherwise good luck all wash away...
Now i know why i ended up doing food delivery.
 
Another taboo that I find it strange during my late step grandpa days is first meal of CNY first day can eat only vegetarian vegetables and plain congee. God knows why. Me no idea. Me will always 偷偷 eat bakkwa with the plain congee
 
Interestingly, Chinese New Year coincides with the start of Ramadan so when the Chinese are gouging themselves on Yusheng, the Muslims will be starting their fast.

Have the police found out about the real cause of Miss Chua's bak kwa shop fire in Little India?

I believe there are quite a number of Muslim and non-Hindu kelings in that area. :unsure:
