WW: Festival Imlek National 2019

Again, Happy Chinese New Year
Gong Xi Fat Chai!

This time I managed to attend Festival Imlek National 2019 at Jakarta International Expo from 7 - 10 February 2019.


I came with my kids and they love the lion dance and fireworks!
It was sooo fun!

Lion dance!
We also took pictures here and there!
So many lovely backgrounds depicting the beauty of China.


Happy Chinese New Year


And RED is obviously the color!
I guess they say it brings good luck,
No wonder our OOTD or Outfit of the Day was dominated with red.
Care to know what I wore?

I was happily wearing
- red Funtastic, Boombastic Indonesia (courtesy of the Consulate General of Indonesia in NYC); 
-wide leg pants from Macy's;
- Fedora hat I bought from American Market in Ueno, Japan;
- Jelly fish earrings in red and purple from @uniqlykamea (check her cute IG) 
- and Sketcher's sandals in black and ribbons 

While Bo was wearing:
- Starwars t-shirt from Uniqlo 
- camo shorts from Gap
- Yongky Komaladi sandals

Obi as cutely wearing:
- bedtime is my kryptonite t-shirt from Macy's
- White pants from Gap
- glittery sandals from Oshkosh B'Gosh
- daddy's hat from DC comics


the red gate
Do you also celebrate Chinese New Year in your country as well?
How is the celebration?
Ours is obviously very merry.

The fireworks!

Don't forget to join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday (just click the link)  and enjoy the link party!

  3. Kalau pas Imlek gini saya paling suka melihat pertunjukan barongsai. Kagum ama kekompakan dan kerjasama dari para pemainnya. Lebih kagum lagi sama pelatihnya yang mampu mengorganisir anggotanya hingga mampu mempertontonkan pertunjukan yang mengundang decak kagum dan riuh tepukan tangan

  4. Kalau momen imlek gini aku langsung inget zaman magang dulu, sering dikasih kue keranjang/dodol (eh apa ya namanya) sama temen-temen di kantor. Seru juga lihat pertunjukan barongsai di daerah Andir di Bandung

  16. Obi udah mulai susah difoto ya mba? Kok nutupin mukanya pake topi. Hehehehe

    sekarang di Indonesia mulai banyak yah tempat-tempat yang bikin program untuk merayakan Imlek. Jadi nambah pengetahuan juga untuk anak-anak, bisa melihat betapa kaya dan beraneka ragam budaya yang ada di negara kita.
