Today is Chap Goh Meh, the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year and the first full-moon for the year. The phrase is a direct translate of Hokkien-dialect which means the night of fifteenth.
It is also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, where in certain parts of Malaysia you can see unmarried young ladies throw mandarin oranges into the sea hoping that it will be picked up by their future spouses :) This can be seen from "Number Eight Bridge" in Klang, Selangor and also Gurney Drive, Penang. Well, I only know of these two places so far...
Today is also a day where one of my ex-colleague's wedding dinner. It will be held in one of the famous chinese restaurants in Subang Jaya tonight.
