New Year's Taboos

Morning walk to the market to buy vegetables.
On the way get the fragrance smell of kuih kapit.
Oh, Chinese New Year is approaching.

I'm not good in baking New Year's cookies.
So nothing about baking to share with you.
Thinking about it, suddenly I have something to share.
That is about New Year's taboos.
These are prohibited or forbidden by the old people.

* New Year can not quarrel or beat children, otherwise will have a lot of restless throughout the 

   year
* Avoid sweeping or garbage, so as not to sweep away the wealth at home
* Never eat porridge on the first day, so as to avoid to be poor for the year
* New Year avoid killing poultry, afraid that will lead to fatal disaster
* New Year never debt or debt collection, or the whole year will be very bad luck
* Avoid having a nap, or else the whole year will be very lazy
* Avoid breaking things
* Do not let people to take things from your pocket, or else you will lost some money through out 

   the whole year
* Do not urge people to get up on the first day of New Year, this will let the other party was urged 

   to do things throughout the year

Do you believe all these taboos? Hahaha.......
