There are many kinds of wrong in this world: Goody Feed's existence, the recently announced spike in GST and Netflix's Death Note adaptation are just some that come to mind. But none of them, in my sincere opinion, holds a candle to this: Image: Kevinxie Facebook Image: Know Your Meme So... what's the deal? If you're not well-versed with Chinese culture, here's a rough 30 second run-through: Chinese New Year is a festive occasion celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Meant to honour deities as well as ancestors, the festival has also become a platform for entire families to gather for a yearly reunion dinner. "So?" you ask. "I still don't get it." Right, moving on. Image: Kevinxie Facebook That piece of paper in the middle, which I politely highlighted with white, distinct arrows, doesn't exactly belong to the New Year Festive spectrum. Quite far off, I must say. Traditionally known as joss paper, or hell money, these paper notes are burnt as offerings to the deceased as a form of financial support. Image: Wikipedia So yeah... I think you kinda get the gist. While joss paper is in no way offensive on its own, it's not exactly appropriate for such a festive occasion. It's like a coffin at a wedding, you know. There's just something... wrong with it. Removal Following widespread disapproval, the mall in question has since removed the 'decorations', apologising for its mistake and promising to be more "vigilant in the future". Image: Ayala Malls The 30th Facebook Page If you can't read it, here's what they've written: "Happy New Year! We wanted to respond to concerns regarding the decoration used by a bazaar organizer that leased our activity center this Chinese New Year weekend. As mentioned, The 30th activity center was leased out to a bazaar organizer for the weekend, who placed festive decoration in our common area at the 2nd floor, as part of their activation for the Chinese New Year. When we realized that the decoration used was not in fact in celebration of the Chinese New Year, we immediately asked them to remove it. We regret this oversight and we will be more vigilant in the future - even with those leasing our common spaces. Thank you again and Happy New Year." Yet even so, it seems that several Netizens were still disgruntled.

Image: Ayala Malls The 30th Facebook Page Now, I have no idea whether it's true, but it has to be noted that even if it is, it's still wrong to use it as a decor. Festive period All in all, it's pretty much a relic in the past now, and I say let bygones be bygones. After all, there's no real point harbouring hatred over the festive period, right? So why not turn your attention to those pineapple tarts instead, and start grabbing them by the dozens? Nothing better than some sweet, savoury tarts to erase all that pent-up anger inside you. ;) Always quarrel with your bae?
