<h2>1. Yee sang</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Did you know that yee sang, both the dish itself and the tradition of tossing it, is something that&#8217;s uniquely Malaysian and Singaporean? It is a dish that means an increase of abundance, as it is called &#8216;<i>yu sheng</i>&#8216; in Mandarin, with &#8216;<i>yu</i>&#8216; meaning abundance and &#8216;<i>sheng</i>&#8216; meaning rise or increase.</p>
<p>It is believed that the higher you toss the yee sang, the more your fortune will grow in the new year, so make sure to toss as high as you can!</p>
<p>Besides the meaning of the dish as a whole, each component also has its own symbolism, which mostly boils down to the Chinese names of the ingredients being homophones for auspicious sayings.</p>
<p>Here are some examples:<br /><b>&#8211; Carrot:</b> Carrots (<i>hong luo bo</i>) indicate blessings of good luck as it has a homophone in &#8216;hong yun dang tou&#8217;, which means &#8216;good luck is approaching&#8217;<br /><b>&#8211; Fish:</b> Just like the &#8216;<i>yu</i>&#8216; in &#8216;<i>yu sheng</i>&#8216;, fish is also pronounced &#8216;<i>yu</i>&#8216; in Mandarin, thus it carries the same meaning of abundance<br /><b>&#8211; Cucumber:</b> Known as &#8216;<i>ja kua</i>&#8216; in Chinese, it shares the same pronunciation as the word for returns, signifying having many happy returns in all your ventures</p>

<h2>2. Dumplings</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Dumplings represent wealth because they are shaped like gold ingots, a form of currency in the olden days. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s believed that the more dumplings you eat during CNY celebrations, the more money you&#8217;ll earn in the new year.</p>
<p>But you have to be careful when making them, because the wrong shape could bring misfortune instead. To make sure your dumplings are lucky ones, ensure they have a good number of pleats. Also, avoid making the junction too flat as this is thought to purport poverty.</p>
<p>Besides that, you have to choose the right filling. A popular tradition during CNY is to eat dumplings filled with radish and cabbage, as this suggests that you will have fair skin and a gentle temperament.</p>
<p>On the flip side, dumplings filled with <i>suan cai</i> (Chinese pickled vegetables) should be avoided during CNY because <i>suan cai</i> implies a poor and difficult future.</p>

<h2>3. Mandarin oranges / Tangerines</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>Just like dumplings, Mandarin oranges also resemble gold ingots, in both shape and colour, carrying a meaning of wealth.</p>
<p>As &#8216;orange&#8217; and &#8216;success&#8217; sound similar in Mandarin, and one of the ways of writing tangerine includes the Chinese character for &#8216;luck&#8217;, eating or displaying Mandarin oranges or tangerines around the home is believed to bring good luck and fortune.</p>
<p>Plus, the act of giving Mandarin oranges to someone is known as &#8216;<i>song gam</i>&#8216; in Cantonese, which can also be translated as &#8216;giving gold&#8217;. So, by giving your loved ones Mandarin oranges, you are wishing prosperity upon them.</p>

<h2>4. Longevity noodles</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p>Other than during Chinese New Year, this noodle dish is also usually served at birthday parties or weddings. It dates back to the Tang Dynasty, can can either be fried or boiled in a broth.</p>
<p>What makes longevity noodles unique, you ask? It&#8217;s that they&#8217;re longer than normal noodles and left uncut, thus representing the hope for the eater to have a long and happy life. You&#8217;re supposed to slurp the noodles whole without breaking them off, as cutting the noodles implies that you&#8217;re &#8216;cutting your life short&#8217;.﻿</p>

<h2>5. Steamed fish</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>As previously mentioned, the Mandarin words for fish and abundance are both pronounced as &#8216;<i>yu</i>&#8216;, making fish a particularly important dish during CNY. It is usually steamed, and should be served whole (including the head and tail) to represent &#8216;a year of abundance from start to end&#8217;.</p>
<p>Even choosing the type of fish is important. Many tend to opt for crucian carp (sounds like the Chinese word for good luck), mud carp (pronounced like the Chinese word for gifts), and catfish (sounds like &#8216;year surplus&#8217;).</p>
<p>To show respect, the head of the fish should be facing important guests or elders. Meanwhile, the two people facing the head and tail of the fish should drink together, as this is considered to be a lucky act.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re even encouraged to make sure there&#8217;s some leftover fish for the next day, to represent an overflow of prosperity.</p>

<p>In PETRONAS&#8217; first film, we witness a phone call that happens on the first day of Chinese New Year, when married women leave their own families to celebrate with their husband&#8217;s family. </p>
<p>In the second film, we see the struggles and hopes of fathers with daughters, brothers with sisters, and wives and wives-to-be, who have to wait for their loved ones to come home. </p>
<p>Both films tug at the heartstrings and remind us of the importance of family and gratitude.</p>

<p>Every family has their own traditions when it comes to celebrating Chinese New Year. For the Wong family, it&#8217;s a quirky tradition that brings them together every year. In fact, it&#8217;s something that gets passed down to the next generation too.</p>
<p>Curious what the tradition is? Hint: It has to do with water!</p>

<p><p>Titled <i>Finish the Unfinished</i>, the CNY short film features popular local influencers like Jobro, Sai (Wabikong), and Bernice, wahh!</p>
<p>Together, they remind us of a relatable situation we&#8217;ve all faced during Chinese New Year — not being able to finish our canned drinks. We (or our guests) end up leaving cans of half-finished drinks on the table, and <i>aiyo</i>, it&#8217;s such a waste lah.</p>
<p><b>This is the year where we can all make a change!</b></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re hosting people at home this CNY, grab yourself bottles of Pepsi 1.5L, so you can serve your guests as much, or as little, as they want. That way, we can all celebrate and enjoy with no waste, yayy!</p>
<p>Plus, don&#8217;t forget that for every Pepsi product you buy worth RM28, you&#8217;ll stand a chance to win a Pepsi Gold Cup, bring home Touch &#8216;n Go e-ang pows, and a free 4-can pack of Calpis Soda.</p>
