Chinese New Year is coming!

Dear Blog,

Chinese New Year is coming! That will mean one thing..

I am RICH RICH RICH!!! Well, that isn't really the point of Chinese New Year, or CNY as we all call it.

Actually, Chinese New Year is always related to the colour red, simply because people always decorate thier houses red or gold.

However, this is due to their beliefs and traditions, that red is auspicious and lucky. Still, Chinese New Year is supposed to be happy and cheerful. As everyone understands as well, Chinese New Year has 3 days for celebration and visiting of your relatives not just for the "ang paos"(red packets that contain money).

The main purpose of Chinese New Year is for reuniting with your family and relatives and being together. However, my 3 days of Chinese New Year are not as relaxing as it is supposed to be for most people, yet I am quite busy because I have quite a number of relatives to visit, more on the maternal side.

Still, my family and I are busy not preparing the red packets but decorating the house for relatives that may visit us! While trying to hang couplets by the door, we are also trying to pack our house, as it is believed that we should throw out all the old things and welcoming the new, which brings in good luck. We are also busy shopping, for we need to wear new clothes for Chinese New Year. I am so looking forward to Chinese New Year! 

Oh well, looks like it is time to go! I hope you have fun this Chinese New Year!
