What was supposed to be a quiet reunion dinner quickly turned into a full-blown spectacle no one in the neighbourhood saw coming.
A woman shared how she thought she was simply attending a small Chinese New Year gathering next door, the usual steamboat, family chatter, and maybe a few fireworks. But just as dinner was about to begin, the unmistakable sound of drums echoed through the street. Within minutes, a massive high-pole lion dance setup was being assembled right outside the house.
Not just any lion dance, a full acrobatic performance complete with towering metal poles, professional drummers, and vibrant lions leaping fearlessly from one platform to another. The beats were so powerful they shook the entire neighbourhood, drawing curious residents out of their homes. Before long, the street transformed into a mini festival ground, with crowds gathering and phones raised high to capture the moment.
Children squealed in excitement, elders watched in awe, and even passing motorists slowed down to witness the unexpected show.
If this was only the beginning of their Chinese New Year celebration, one thing is for sure: this neighbour doesn't just celebrate CNY. They turn it into a legendary event that the whole street will remember for years.
