Should be Happy Lunar New Year, since other ethnics celebrate it as well, such as Vietnamese, Laos, Cambodia, etc.

Also, I thought Lunar New Year was on Monday. Although, we will be celebrating tomorow.

lol Every year we try to see who knows the most blessing phrases.
I lost my list though, I gotta find it!!

So do you guys have tradtions that come with new years?
Such as no showering the day of new years?
No cutting of hair? No buy a shoes for like a whole month?
But buying pants is great?

Gong Hay Fat Choy :)

^x2 Because they're Chinese and that's what they celebrate. Maybe relative to the number of Vietnamese people and other Asians, there are a lot of Chinese people, and so you hear Chinese New Year more often.

I just had shark fin's soup and am about to have abalone. ilu mom.

I've never had dog meat.

I just had dinner. In total had shark's fin soup, abalone, "see yao" chicken (soy sauce), fried oysters (lol random but SO GOOD), stir-fried "leen go", buncha internal organs (which I love), and some other stuff I can't describe.

YUM.

I always feel guilty when I receive red envelopes... it's like my parents are trading money with my aunts and uncles (and other people who give us lai see), but all the money ends up in the children's hands.

Not that the guilt is strong enough for me to give the money away...
