KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!! Happy Chinese New Year

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Since its 2am, I can officially say its Chinese New Year (which also just happens to fall on Valentine’s Day for 2010). Personally, I think Chinese New Year is a more special occasion than Valentine’s Day; the commercialism for days like V Day and Christmas does go a bit too far sometimes.


Anyway, this year is the year of the Tiger, for people born on the following:

  • 1902
  • 1914
  • 1926
  • 1938
  • 1950
  • 1962
  • 1974
  • 1986
  • 1998

According to the story, the Tiger came 3rd in the race. A small factoid… The number 3 is considered a lucky number in Chinese beliefs; 3 in Chinese also sounds like the word “life or alive”. However, the number 4 is considered unlucky as the same pronounciation for this also means “death”. Maybe 2010 is your lucky year! Don’t forget to give someone you love a Red Envelope of money.

May 2010 bring you good fortune and prosperity!
