Rice bucket filled

Li Chun (立春), or Jip Chun, is done with for yet another year. Slightly past 4.30pm today, I topped up my rice bucket to the brim with a new bag of rice to symbolise abundance for the family. I also seized the moment to stick a new chun (character on the bucket. If I'm not mistaken, as the Gregorian calendar has an extra day in this month, Jip Chun next year should fall on 03 February 2025. Note: my annual writings about Li Chun can be read here. By the way, I tried balancing an egg on its end today. Urban legend has it that today is supposed to be one of those very few days in a year that it can happen, but I don't quite believe it myself! Nevertheless, I still tried...and succeeded.
