Happy Chinese New Year!!!
Happy Chinese New Year to all of the MYF members and alumini, especially to those born in year of Dog. Enjoy the festive season with your family and friends.
MYF Chinese New Year Fellowship
The MYF New Year celebration starts with a puzzle matching auspicious Chinese phrase. None of the group got all 3 correct. Then we were asked to write a Spring Couplet each on the red manila card. The ink was AUD $8 per bottle, probably can buy more than 5 bottles back in M'sia. We also have the opportunity to make paper lantern using the red packets. Visit the gallery for more interesting photos.
Church Chinese New Year Service
There were adult choir, violin and piano recital by Daniel's dad Mr. Chieng and Esther respectively. Mrs Chen taught the congregation some exercise moves on the stage with Ruth. Everyone followed them and had fun. The youth choir also present their items, followed by a 'jing hu' (chinese traditional musical instrument) presentation from an elder. It's Jing Hu not Er Hu.
Aside:
Jing-Hu: Principally used as accompanying instrument for Beijing Opera, Jing-Hu is another important two-stringed fiddle in the Huqin family. It was developed in Qin dynasty ( around 1790 ), which is often called the Hu-Qin. The pitch of Jing-Hu is the highest among all instruments of the Hu-Qin family. Due to its forceful and clarion timbre, Jing-Hu is suitable almost exclusively for Beijing opera.
