May the year of the Golden Pig be prosperous for you and everyone!!!

Actually to be fair, my family have a very traditional chinese new year. We all get dressed up in our chinese outfits and the kids look so adorable. I have to say Chinese New year and christmas are two of my favourite events of the whole year.

We eat Nin Guo too (home made infact - my mum makes them every year) and we have dumplings (some of which contain coins) - so if you manage to select a dumpling with a coin, its means you are very lucky. We also have a family dinner on Chinese New Year's eve where the holiday sit down and eat together - where there is absolutely tonnes of food.

This is one time i love being single cos i get lucky money (lai see).

Chinese new year in China town is huge now and with over several tens of thousands of people turning up for the occasion. We tend to give it a miss as it gets way over crowded. We prefer to stay at home and spend it with family and friends.

So gonna take this opportunity to wish every one a great year of the Golden Pig - kung hey fat choy!!!!
