Malay New Year 2013

The picture above was the food I had been enjoying on the day of Malay New Year Celebration at my friend’s house. It was the second time I went to her open house for Malay New Year celebration. The traditional New Year celebration, women will cook personally to meet the visitors’s arrival. For costumes, men and women should wear traditional Malay clothes when visiting friends and relatives. Some of the families will custom-made their costumes with a family theme in colours and fabric designs. When families visit, they will exchange gifts such as New Year cookies, fruits and homemade cuisines. As for me and my friends, we brought a hamper. To me, New Year is the most solidarity Festival for families.
