Thni Kong Seh (Jade Emperor's Birthday)

It began at the stroke of midnight on Thursday where all the Hokkien's people will set up an altar in front of their house for the big day. Of course, not forgetting my family been busy this few days just for today.

On this day, foods and fruits were laid out on long red tables with the offerings that we have bought. The roasted pig and the must haves such as ang koo (red tortoise buns), huat kuih (prosperous cakes), mee koo (red-coloured buns) and mee sua (longevity noodles) were decorated and are arrange nicely and accordingly. Not forgetting leng hneo (dragon joss sticks) were burnt during the celebration.

Here is the pictures that i took for the celebration.
