My wife, Zarina and I felt the air of stunning festivities and heartwarming when being surrounded with the cheerful Chinese New Year (CNY) decorations at Prima Avenue Cyberjaya. We took some good snap of photographs and quickly shared it with our grandchildren.

Prima Avenue at Jalan Teknokrat 5, is a vibrant and thriving community where the people of Cyberjaya and its surrounding vicinity met for social networking with wide selection of F&B outlets and recreational hubs to stay fit and healthy. It sets the standard in defining work-life balance through the theme Work Eat Play Live strives to provide events value add to the community and the environment. (prima-avenue.com.my)

I understand from our long-time friends, Mr. & Mrs. Kong Kin Siong who live in Dengkil that “Paper Lanterns, especially red ones, are iconic CNY decorations. Hang them indoors or outdoors to create a festive atmosphere. We will place it on doors, windows, or walls.”

Entrepreneur Kong said, “In 2025, the Chinese zodiac celebrates the Year of the Snake which is associated with qualities like wisdom, intuition and elegance. Incorporating snake-themed decorations or symbols can add a unique & meaningful touch to our overall decor."

Mrs. Kong added, “Before putting up any decorations, we have to clean our home thoroughly. Cleaning symbolises sweeping away bad luck and making space for good fortune. CNY decorations are more than just festive embellishments. They really carry deep symbolic meanings tied to renewal, luck & happiness. Red and gold dominate the color palette, symbolising good fortune, wealth & prosperity.”

Their daughter, Accountant Kong Yen Peng, who is attached with one of the Ministries in Putrajaya, explained the significant of the year of Snake that “It is a dynamic year to learn from the past, moving forward with wisdom, awareness, transformation & compassion. The Snake represents wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity. Snakes are also associated with fertility & longervity.”
