Wishing you a successful, healthy and prosperous Chinese New Year! (◕‿‿◕)

According to the Chinese calendar, 2010 is Lunar Year 4708. On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on Sunday, February 14th, 2010 ~ The Year of the Tiger *rawrr!* This year, the date has special significance since it also happens to fall on ♥ Valentine's Day ♥ making it doubly auspicious day to celebrate!

Today is one of the special events (besides Christmas) when I feel homesick and longing to be close to my family. I come from a big extended family and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve (chú xī), we all gather together and enjoy the festivity. Family matters most to me, they always stand by me all these years. I truly miss my Mommy, my Sister, my adorable niece Catherine & baby nephew Nic. Well, honestly I also miss getting the red envelopes ('hong baos = $).

❥ PS: Don't forget to eat chow mein (noodles) today, which symbolize longevity ☺
