过年都要把屋子打扫一番，挂上红彤彤和漂亮的装饰品，才有迎接新春的气息。如果加上一个自己制作的红包灯笼，独一无二，更是锦上添花。
这是在呀笼西民众俱乐部拍摄的小片断，居民利用午时闲休，大家聚在一起制作简单又漂亮的灯笼球。看大家聚精会神的神情，间中也互相帮忙，和最后捧着灯笼回家的满足感，开心又快乐。还有我们的马来同胞也来感染新年的气息。

Chinese New Year is approaching and its time for us to do some art craft for house decoration.　

新年快到了，虽然最近真的很忙，还是在百忙中和有兴趣做红包灯笼的学生们一起做手工。做红包灯笼需要极大的耐心和时间，不过当亲手完成了作品，内心的满足感是语言不能表达的。

看似简单却非常考功夫的手工
