Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Chinese New Year!

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year of the Metal Rabbit! Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese friends wherever you are!

Since it's the year of the Rabbit, I got myself two pairs of cute rabbits which I bought from Petaling Street (KL's Chinatown).



A pair of yellow rabbits since mustard yellow is a good colour for 2011 (according to feng shui master Lillian Too)



But Chinese New Year won't be the same without red colour, so I got the red rabbits too!

I know what you are thinking - They are not real rabbits! But of course! Are they cute or what? Haha!

So now, here are my top 10 reasons why I love Chinese New Year!

1. I can collect angpows and hopefully make enough to pay for some of my future travel expenses!

2. I can finally eat yee sang after waiting a whole year for it!

3. I have a good excuse to stuff myself silly with lots of good food!

4. I don't have to go to work! Yay!!

5. I can enjoy driving around PJ and KL since the roads are practically jam-free!

6. I can sleep late and wake up late (well, later than my normal working days that is)

7. I can play In-Between! (Please don't think naughty thoughts here! Haha!)

8. I can gobble up loads of mandarin oranges!

9. I can snack on arrowheads and pineapple tarts without limits!

10. I don't have to do house chores as sweeping the floor is prohibited on the first day of Chinese New Year. (I make it an offence to do any house chores during the Chinese New Year holidays! LOL!)



Do you love Chinese New Year too?

    Obviously, I don't celebrate Chinese New Year, but I do like the reasons why you like that holiday. Yeah, it's a good thing not to work on that day especially if one works on other holidays.

    Happy Chinese New Year to you and my other friends that celebrate it!

    Having stuff animal rabbits is better than some who buy real rabbits at the whims/fancy and cast the poor fellas away when the year is over or they don't look cute anymore.

    Thank you very much for the fengshui updates. You have just become my FS 'master'.

    Kung Hei Fatt Choy!

    CNY is not a big thing for me. It's just an excuse to have a break from work, rest and feast :)


    Have a great CNY celebration.

    As a part of this research initiative, our ambition has been to examine the challenges and opportunities introduced by the introduction of a BLE centred system into the museum context. We present an assessment of the potential offered by this Ray Ban Outlet technology and of the Coach Outlet Store design approaches that might yield the best results when developing BLE centred experiences for museum environments. A pivotal part of our project Yeezy Boost 350 consisted of designing, developing and evaluating a prototype mobile location based BLE centred game.
