    Default Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine's Day!

    Well, it's already Feb 14th over where we are; a day to both celebrate Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year, it's one of those rare occasions where both festivals fall upon the same date, almost as if the heavens are aligning and smiling down from on high.

    Let's celebrate Valentine's Day!


    Let's celebrate Chinese New Year!

    Happy New Year! 新年快乐
    Xin nian kuai le! (Mandarin)
    Sin ni khoai lok! (Hokkien)
    San nin faai lok! (Cantonese)
    Sin ngen kai lok! (Hakka)

    Much prosperity and congratulations and happiness unto you! 恭喜发财
    Gong xi fa cai (Mandarin)
    Keong hee huat chye (Hokkien)
    Gung hei faat coi (Cantonese)
    Gung hee fatt choi (Hakka)

    Now, where's my red packet?

    Gong xi, gong xi. Thanks for the red packets, randman.
    Hope you can be in China to celebrate New Years, and receive lots of little red envelopes, cycoris.

    恭喜發財,利是逗來,伍毫嫌少,壹蚊唔愛
    Roughly translates to; "gong xi fa cai, now give me a red envelope, fifty cents is too little, don't want a dollar neither".

    So, who wants to confess their undying love for me then?

    Also, Wikipedia tells me it is now the year of the Tiger. Hmm... I approve of this.
