1970s - 80s. When I was a child, I would remember during CNY, my Chinese neighbours will give us, a Malay family a tray full of goodies. I look forward to the tray full of all kinds of colours of pumpkin seeds and kuaci - black, white, red, and also all kinds of kana and preserved fruits. It is sad that after my Chinese neighbours shifted house, my new neighbours were not as friendly. Those were the days.
