What is a Porktus ?

Porky is murmuring as he walk around the garden, the weather is getting crazily hot lately. All the flowers and shrouds died as a result of the intense heat.
.
bright sunny day, all week long..
.
 at 33 deg Celcius, its unbearable ..
.
 but Mr Slappy here seems to be enjoying his sunbathe

But Porky being Porky, he figured out that cactus would be something nice to have in his garden and durable enough to withstand the scorching weather and wrath of Dimitri digging it. So, when a pig plant cactus, it became Porktus !

Porky name this Grandpa Porktus because of the hair
.
 Dimitri . . . eat this !

Fish..

Me don't like to eat fish ... (except those yummy sashimis) .. But in Porky's Cavern, the fish taste different, not sure why but its sure yummy...

CNY 2011 Part 3 - The Decorations

Next, the decorations in Porky's Cavern where the goal is to keep everything simple and easy. Red symbolizes happiness while gold symbolizes wealth, that's what we need Porky said !


the hills pomelo have eyes !
pineapple/'ong lai' with 5 little shoots

our happy laughing buddha


little piglet & mandarin oranges
the hills Bottle Gourd have eyes 2..
Symbolism
Mr. Pomelo - In Cantonese, 'you' is similar in sound to the phrase “to have.” To use a pomelo to decorate one’s home during the new year implies a wish that the home will have everything it needs the coming year.

Mandarin Orange - Their shape and color symbolize the sun and connect with the yang principle, which represents the positive element and generative force in nature. Thus oranges are considered auspicious fruits and important symbols for the New Year.

Little Pig - Do me need to say more ?

Mr. Hu Luo / Bottle Gourd - The Gourd, signifies abundant of riches and wealth. Specifically the bottle gourd is also a common Chinese symbol for longevity as well as good luck. Gourds are painted with the Chinese symbol for longevity and then displayed in the home to ward off harmful energies - thus promoting long life.

Pineapple - known in Hokkien as "ong lai" which translastes to 'prosperity comes'.

Laughing Buddha -most supreme symbols of joy and wellbeing.
