Cupid gets three chances


When it comes to romance, the Chinese celebrate “Valentine’s Day” three times a year. But are Cupid’s little arrows, the tossing of fruits on Chap Goh Meh and computer match-making getting the desired results?

IT’S that time of the year again to toss Mandarin oranges into the sea, or river as the case may be. Today is Chap Goh Meh, the 15th and last day of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Chap Goh Meh or Yuen Xiao in Mandarin is also the Chinese version of Valentine’s Day.
