HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR

I would like to wish all Chinese Vfers a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year! /versus/images/icons/grin.gif

The Chinese New Year is based on the Chinese calendar dates back centuries before the Julian calendar that we use today. It measures time based on the astronomical observations of the movement of the sun, moon and stars.

Happy chinese new years. Last year was the year of the horse. What is this year? Gosh, I can't believe I don't remember. Hopefully the energy of this year will be a little calmer. I need it. Gotta get back to taichi full time. No more of this half a week type thing. Everyday just like brushing my teeth. That's what I am trying to do. Is anyone setting off fireworks?


I just remembered.. the year of the sheep! Yeah, should be a calm year!

 

this yr is yang nian (goat)

N no, I cannot even light fire crackers over here, talk abt fireworks!!!!! T__T

 

IIRC, It's the year of the Goat.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

 

Yep..It will be the year of the water goat. Water = $$$?

Hey SummErs..Work smart, study hard, play cards. hehehe

Cheers!

hey u know..this will be the first time I recieved red packets since I left Asia ten yrs ago!!!

Lucky my auntie is here this yr!!!! ^0^

 

Red Envelopes.. they were the best. But now it's actually nice to give my parents red envelopes. For all the money they provided for me.

 

aieeee
i hope to be doing that next yr myself..

IMO, it's a good feeling to be able to give my folks money ^__^

 

What's this about "giving" money now? /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

oh..u mean returning what they lent to me over the past 26 yrs? ^0^

 

That's a good gesture Summers. I too have been doing that. Bought them a house and handling their retirement plans so they can get a better investment.

 

>>The Chinese New Year is based on the Chinese calendar dates back centuries before the Julian calendar that we use today. It measures time based on the astronomical observations of the movement of the sun, moon and stars.

(Just for the record) the (main?) calendar today is called the Gregorian. It is also - like the Chinese calendar - based on astronomical data.

Anyways - happy new year! /versus/images/icons/grin.gif

 

Happy New Year to all!

 

yes happy new year to all =]

sheep own!

 

You are right Phil, the Julian calendar was used only till the end of the sixteenth century before it was revised to the present Gregorian Calendar.

Sorry for the confusion there and thanks for the correction dude.

Cheers!

 

Phil dude..i think u know this chinese calendar thingy way better than me~~~ ^0^

(I'm chinese, but I hardly know the history of my own culture n stuff...I only do *chinese* things..because they were drilled into me head since pamper days)
