Chap Goh Meh represents the fifteenth and final day of the Lunar New Year period as celebrated by Chinese migrant communities. The term is from the Hokkien dialect and refers to the fifteenth day of the first month, which is the occasion of the first full moon of the (Chinese) New Year.

The occasion is marked by feasting and various festivities, including the consumption of tangyuan and Kue Keranjang. In traditional Chinese culture, it is also celebrated as the Lantern Festival or the Shang Yuan Festival.

We in College General celebrated this event as a community as part of our Chinese New Year celebrations!!! Our bishop, rector and seminarians were all dressed in red as we enjoyed ourselves and feasted on a hearty steamboat dinner!!!

Here are some pictures!
