迎财神 - welcoming god of wealth

today is the 5th day of chinese new year, it is the day to welcome or receive the god of wealth in china. i did not know about this day although i had heard a lot of more firework and fire cracker going on last night and this morning as the celebration of the chinese new year in china sort of slowly fade off after the eve and the 1st day. if i did not receive an msg from a local colleague wishing me luck, i would not have know about it. in singapore, the welcoming god of wealth is not a fixed day every year. it is determined base on the tong shu (通书 - Almanac).

so to welcome the god of wealth, we got our driver to help us to purchase firecracker and we would set it off before we go out.
