Chinese New Year



Happy Chinese New Year ! Have fun during Chinese New Year ? Enjoyed the goodies and
ang pao money ? I certainly did ! Let me share with you the Chinese New Year experience ! Basically , my family went to our relatives house , had fun , eat , take ang pow , yeah .... Lols probably the same as majority of the people . XD

During this Chinese New Year , it could be said to be "peaceful". No fires due to firecrackers , or not that i know of ... No fights , no gambling cases ...

However , people still tend to take ang pao money for granted , seemingly to be the noly thing that matters during Chinese New Year . There is plenty more than that , the food , the visiting , the drinks , the new clothes .
So as Chinese People , I feel that we should uphold our customs , unique , and never be forgotten . Chinese New Year is fun ! Dong dong qiang ...

  1. Isn't that related our project idea? Anyway, not many young people these days actually knows the purpose of Chinese New Year. Probably, many just take it as a break to play their computer games with their friends instead of following their families to visit relatives.

  2. Yes, I guess most of us view Chinese New Year as a time to become rich and get a long break. We often never stop to think about our heritage and culture.

    What's the main thing about Chinese New Year? The decorations, festive lion dances, New Year goodies... there are so much more to the event than the mere Red Packets. In fact, I value the time spent with my cousins and relatives during this holiday!

    Cheers!
