Chinese New Year celebration is coming to the end after tonight..Today, is also known as Chap Goh Mei. Actually "Chap Goh Mei" is a Hokkien dialect which mean "the fifteenth Night". Tonight, you will see the full moon (Of course, if the weather is good la...).Well, Actually, you can see the full moon hanging up the sky whenever it is the fifteenth day in every month in Chinese lunar calender. However, tonight will be special because tonight is the first full moon or the new moon in the year. Besides, Chap Goh Mei also known as Yuan Xiao Jie or Chinese Valentine. I'm not sure where the story came from, but one interesting story that can be share in conjunction of this celebration is, for those single ladies or young maidens, tonight will be the night to them to find their spouse. How? By state down name, and contact on the orange and throw it into the river or sea as they believe those who pick up the floating orange will soon, be their spouse. But some said, those who pick up the orange is not necessary the spouse to the one who threw the orange. They said, if someone else sees the orange and pick it up, it means that the single maiden who threw the orange will be able to find the good spouse soon. So which 1 is true? You should try it out then find it out yourself then...haha..
