gotta go for some Hóng Bāo
  Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

A very wonderful video celebrating the New Year!

The Year of the Rabbit is a peaceful year, very much welcomed and
desired after the fierce year of the Tiger. In Chinese mythology, the
Rabbit is a symbol of endurance and their essence is said to have
originated from the Moon.During the Chinese mid-Autumn festival when the
Moon is usually at its best, Chinese children still carry lit paper
lanterns made in the form of a Rabbit, and climb the hills to look at
the Moon and admire the Moon Hare.We should go somewhere tranquil to
sooth our wounds and get some well deserved rest after all the
encounters of the year before. Good taste and enhancement will excel on
everything, and persons will recognize that influence is better than
force.
