Today is Chap Goh Mei which is the 15th day of Chinese New Year. So fast time flies today is also the last day of Chinese New Year. It is also a Valentine's day for Chinese people who is still single.
The young unmarried lady will throw oranges into the river while the young man will collect the oranges. They will make wishes before throwing the oranges into the river. Of course they will write the name, address or maybe handphone number so that they can contact each other later of the day. They also hope and wish to find their future husband. This is the story tale from elder people.
But for nowadays, I'm not sure that there are many Chinese people practise this traditional method or not. Maybe it is just another method to dispose the extra oranges. Hahaha!
Happy Chap Goh Mei to everyone!
