It's new year day today in Chinese (Lunar) calendar, the year of the rooster has come. A few of our friends got together on the new year eve for a nice dinner. We made some dumpling plus yummy hot pots whiling watching CCTV's new year eve show on the TV. It's the next to best thing than going back China and reunite with family and friends there. Got no holidays, no fire crackers, no thousands of people on the street here, the year of rooster still comes as it has done twice before. I wish all my friends a happy new year and "Kong Hey Fatt Choi".
Rumor says no one should get married in the year of rooster. Due to some complicated calculation of the Lunar calendar, there is no spring day for the whole year of rooster. It suggested a bad year for marriage and "all wives are to lose her husband if she dares to marry in this year". Silly maybe, but people are rushing into marriage all over China right before new years eve. Hey, who knows, better listen to it than risk it, isn't it?
