Valentine's Chap Goh Meh
At dinner with friends last night, we talked about Chinese New Years past and about St Valentine's Day. We had been going between the two for a while, when someone dropped a conversation-stopper.'plink.'
'Yes?'
'Chap Goh Meh is Chinese Valentine's Day, isn't it?'
That does make a certain amount of twisted sense. Wishes fly in both directions for a desirable other-half, silliness abounds, chaperones are much in evidence....
Aren't we lucky in Malaysia: we get Chap Goh Meh plus Valentine's Day? Twice the fun, twice the fuss.
Does anyone know if there's a day like Valentine's in any other calendar?
Edit: This was last night, but I can't help but wonder if my friend reads Selba....

There's the Japanese doublet of Valentine's equivalent, one for boys and the other for...
girls!
Not sure if they are attached to the Gregorian calendar we use or the Japanese calendar, if any.
