Happy Chinese New Year!

Let me explain about chinese new year in a simple way. Well, in chinese calendar they have 12 months which follow their lunisolar chinese calendar.Each year will follow their 12 years cycle of the animal zodiac. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Roaster, Dog and Pig. For 2009 its a  Ox year. 

Good Bye Rat(actually it a hamster; hehehe)!

Each animal zodiac represent something good.

(Ofcourse its good! who want to listen all the bad things...)

This Year (Ox) thought to be the sign of properity through fortitude and hard work.

What so special about chinese new year is the Lion Dance and the firecrackers..

There are few types of Lion Dance. Each colour of the lion represent different Regions and meanings.

This is Southern Lion are the ones we're more accuctomed to watching. They are energetic, with feline like behaviour.

"Qing She" or Green Faced Lion , is the most revered of all lio dances. It has a flat menancing face, and designed to look extremely cruel and ferocious. The Green lion can only be danced by the most skilled and dexterous of kungfu practioners.

Well This aint a Lion Dance from china Just a Lego (from china). But its a one of a kind.

Since this year is an Ox year so, dont eat beef lar...k?

Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Chai!
