Right… One more day till the big bang…. If you haven’t already know, Chinese NEw YEar is here. Indeed the song "Paint the town red" is applicable for this season. Nevertheless, i am excited being a chinese in this period of time cause we get ANg Pows! Speaking of which, i know many of you are getting married this year so enjoy ang pow collection for the last time… ahhaahahaha… ahem.
The next thing i am excited about CNY is the reunion dinner. I am always sight for the lovely food that my mum cooks & the enjoyment we have relaxing. Those chinese new year goodies… so tempting… i am so going to put on weight. Then we get to see relatives that we only see once a year which often leads to questions such as "are you attached yet?", "What are you doing in life?", "Did you put on weight??" Oh, great.
Nevertheless, one can still find benefits and enjoyment in this special occasion for us, chinese. So here are top 10 great things to look forward to in CNY:-
