What will you be throwing into the sea tonight?
In case you don't know, today is the 15th Day of the Chinese New Year and today is call Chap Goh Mei.
It is also the Chinese Valentine's Day. The different between the Chinese Valentine's Day and Western Valentine's Day is that in the Western Valentine's Day, only couples would be celebrating but all the singles will be "ignored" whereas in the Chinese Valentine's Day, everyone will celebrate.
How?
The couples will celebrate as usual but they singles will have a special way of celebrating it. In the old times, singles will gather a places near the sea and throw different things into the sea that symbolize different meaning...
Belows are a few that I came across and if you have any other, please feel free to share it here.
Kam (Mandarin Orange) for Ho Ang (Good Husband)
Ping Kor (Apple) for Ho Bor (Good Wife)
King Chio (Banana) for Tio Beh Pio (Win Lottery)
Chio Tau (Stone) for Ang Mo Lau (Bungalow)
Ang Moh Tan (Rambutan) for Ang Moh Boh (Western wife)
So, which one will you be throwing tonight?

I think it work for both gender... If you are a femala, then you got a western husband and if you are a male, you get a western wife...
Hope it does not go the other way round...
