CHINESE NEW YEAR AND A NEW VILLAGE

 Our Singaporean, Chinese managing director and owner of our village, Chiou See, has bought another village to add to our family. It is called Elements@ Con Noi, Carindale, which is a Brisbane suburb not far away from us. The hand over date was 1 Feb so Chiou See organised a Chinese New Year celebration as an event to mark the hand over day as something special. Residents from our village were invited to attend and meet the residents of Con Noi. Although, Bill and I are hesitant of mixing with a lot of people in these Covid times, we bit the bullet and attended.

It was an interesting morning meeting the other residents and comparing notes. Naturally, they were very keen to find out what it is like having the dynamo, Chiou See, as the managing director. We calmed their fears. They seemed pleased because their last manager didn't do anything to enhance their living conditions.

We enjoyed the lion dance and the Chinese snacks.

Tables and chairs were set up in their common room. Residents from both villages chat together.

This one produced a lucky charm for Chiou See.

Then the lion tugs a lettuce dangling from the ceiling and spits it at the audience for good luck.
