February 7, 2008 is the first day of Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the RAT !! On the morning of the new year, I usually offer prayers to my ancestors and burn joss sticks and "Kim Chua" ( Golden paper ) to welcome back the deities from both heaven and earth to the house. While others from other religions using loud speakers to shout their prayers and thus contribute to noise pollutions, on this auspicious day, I exercise my religious rights to contribute to global warming by burning joss sticks and "golden paper".
