Chinese New Year!

Firstly, it’s only a few days to Chinese New Year/ Lunar New Year. Wishing all my family, friends and of course, you (who is reading this post right now) GONG XI FA CAI!!!

I believe these are why Chinese New Year is such a grand festival for the Chinese around the world.

1) We get to wear our new clothes! – Who doesn’t like new stuffs right? Though the shopping can be quite a hassle, bearing in mind that we are Strongly advised to wear bright colours, hopefully nearer to the shades of red.

2) New Year goodies! – From the throat killer Ba Kwa to the sweets, nuts, kuehs and all the crispy and enjoyable little treats.

3) Ang paos! – Come’on, for all the singles out there, this is the time to celebrate and embrace singlehood! We receive the ang paos from our seniors and who doesn’t love $$? But remember that it’s not the amount inside that little red envelope but the thought and meaning behind the tradition of ang baos.

4) Holidays! – Away from work, school and all that. It’s a time to celebrate and enjoy!

Lastly, Happy Chinese New Year ppl! Wish you and your family good luck, good health all year round this Dragon Year!
