Lunar New Year '12


Happy Lunar New Year ! Well, today is actually New Years Eve and Lunar New Year is tomorrow. Nearly all of my friends are celebrating it today because tomorrow is a Monday. So, my day has been pretty moody because of my family’s low spirit. I was a bit blue in the morning because I wasn’t sure if my cousins were coming.

My family had lunch, and webcammed with my aunty from America.

I saw one of my cousins just watching TV, and there was this little Care Bear finger puppet. You put your finger up it’s bum. It has little tufts of hair and we gave it a Gatsby-inspired hairstyle. Not the Great Gatsby book, but Gatsby, the Japanese hairstyling product. So I made a random tutorial. J

So, its almost 11:20pm and my day has been a bit boring. I didn’t receive any red pockets, which was sad but the main point of today was the family gathering.

There were some typical ancient myths:

Whatever happens to you on New Years, will happen to you for the rest of the year.

Giving money to children on New Years, gives them luck.

Cutting a watermelon and the inside is red mean you’ve got luck for the rest of the year

And the typical, horoscope.

Anyway, I wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year. And a great year ahead, to the Asians. Just kidding. :)
