It's Not Just An Ordinary Chinese New Year ☺

February 3, 2011 
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
新年快樂! xīn nián kuài lè!
恭喜發財! gōng xǐ fā cái!
If you must know, NO I AM NOT KOREAN!:) I'm like 75% Chinese and 25% Filipino. Every year, we celebrate Chinese New Year by following some simple traditions of having offerings which we call "alay" and the Dragon Dance. 


Days before this day,one of my college friends Zoe asked me if he could celebrate Chinese New Year with my family. Result?He and my other college friends celebrated Chinese New Year with us! It was very heartwarming that they were all really excited for this day to come!Well, for me it wasn't really a big deal,growing up from a Chinese family, and all my life I've been seeing these things. But this year,it was not an ordinary Chinese New Year for all of us! :) I had fun that day because of them!They were all curious about so many things,and I loved it, because at least I get to share with them our Chinese traditions :)
