Happy Lunar New Year 2010

February 12, 2010 by Yein Jee

Chinese New Year is arriving on Sunday. This would be the first time I’m not celebrating it in Malaysia; an early wish to my family and friends… Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Sharing a CNY song (a rare English one) by Malaysian songwriter Lleon. Simple tune, cute animation, fitting theme (it’s the year of tiger in Chinese calendar)…

Best wishes as well to the all other folks who are celebrating the lunar new year.

Chinese New Year, fireworks, kids

February 9, 2009 by Yein Jee

A photo taken on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year 2009, of my niece and nephew playing with fireworks. Kids are always the most joyous people during CNY…

Kids playing sparklers and fireworks on Chinese New Year 2009

Today (Feb 9) officially marks the end of CNY 2009; CNY is traditionally celebrated from New Year’s Eve to the 15th day on the New Year, each day with its own significance.

Chinese these days don’t have the luxury to celebrate the entire festival though; most people would have resumed their daily (working) routine by the 5th day of CNY, and waited until the last day (the Lantern Festival) for some final celebrations.

Happy Chinese New Year once more… best wishes to everyone.
