Take note of today's date. It's 21 March, the day of the Spring Equinox as the sun crosses the equator. Theoretically, today's the day when you should have equal hours of day and night. Or haven't you noticed that dawn is getting earlier by the day??
To us of Chinese descent, the significance of the Spring Equinox will come in 15 days' time. Cheng Beng. The time to visit the graves of our ancestors, the time to give their graves a spring clean to rid them of the overgrown lalang and the dirt. It's an annual ritual.
