Praying to the Jade Emperor

On the 9th day of Chinese New Year, the Hokkiens and Hakkas will pray to the Jade Emperor (or loosely translated from Hokkien as "Sky God"). Preparations start on the night of the 8th day, and prayers start at the stroke of midnight.

Some of the offerings at my relatives' house..

Among offerings made include "Golds"

Motorcyclists spotted carrying "golds" on the road..

All offerings are decorated with red 'ribbons'
