happy chinese new year!
did anyone get any lai see yet?
usually back in hong kong, i wake up and my mom and i say "sun leen fai lok" and then the phrases that wishes good health, good looks, jobs etc.

then we also have a bunch of food in a box thingy at home, and i go over to my grandmothers and we all have dinner, and exchanged wrapped snack gifts and those lucky words and get lai see!

that's pretty much all we do. eat a lot of carrot cake, those seed things, and other various cny food.
oh and we stick a "luck" poster upside down on my door.

and my mom tries to bring me to meet all her married friends and dinners so i can get more lai see =p even if ive never met them, hahaha

i know more traditional families have the kum quaits and clean their whole house the day before, my family doesn't do that.

and this is my first time actually celebrating cny in cali, it's much more chill even among my relatives. but i got a lai see! first one since i've been in college!!

lol, we just have a big family dinner and my parents/relatives give me money. Oh and we cleaned the house if that counts.

[Jerrica]

We had to clean the house yesterday =_=
& yeah, we're going to have a big family dinner, buy Chinese snacks & maybe get money =D

[juju<3.]

lunar new years aka tet is a big thing in my family, since my granny is really religious&she would force all of us to go to the temple&pray&do all those kind of stuff (: its really fun actually. here in new orleans, we have concerts<3 its fun! we get to see asian celebs come and bring us a concert. this week was in marrero, but next week is in eastbank. haha.

[PoooBear]

Happy New Years!
I didn't realize it was until my mom started cooking the food... mmm
But yeah, since we live in a town with barely any asians or relatives, they make me call everyone and wish them "good luck"
Hopefully I'll get some money soon XD that's always the best.
But that's the farthest it goes for us, if we wanted to see something bigger then we have to drive a couples hours :/ (no time for that)
I would LOVE to go to the Buddhist temples on New Years, but I live in the U.S., so not many very nice temples with the same atmosphere.

[Courtknee]

I thought it was tomorrow T_______T
So I haven't ate anything special... or got any lai see yet.

My grandma did 'bai sun' today though. Too bad I was asleep.

We're gunna have a big dinner tonight.
and I'm going to eat a lot of those snack things.
and moneeey $_$

Happy Chinese New Year~!

Anyway, at home, we forgot it was New Years so we didn't do anything. lol

[AresJK]

but i do celebrate korean new year

[jingaling.]

it's technically lunar new year~
my mom cleaned the house yesterday.
we just have a big dinner with relatives.
& red packets!

[royalpirate.]

I go to my aunt's house every year to celebrate Tet (chinese new year). We eat, sing karaoke, and give out lai see. I'm pretty much rich after chinese new year! Lol.

[ms.minhwan_choi]

korean people does too
my family
since all of my reletives live in korea we call them up
and talk and so on and pass the phone around (calling both sides)
then we go out for dinner or hang out with another family
and just chill..
to be honest
i really dont know
because i've never actually done this with my reletives cept for my parents
cuz my family is the only family thats here from my relelives in korea.
so yeah hahaha

[SeX1eStAsaBa]

Happy New Years everyone. Hope wish everyone here all good health and be successful in the upcoming year. Ok, we know you want to go to all your relative's house and get that $$$$$$$$$$.

I'm not sure what we're doing this year. I think we just might eat and watch the New Years on the chinese channel, lol.

[kiisumi]

HAPPY CHINESE EVERYONE ^^ (:
exciting to see rest of my fam tomorrow : D

[gabbstar]

weeee chuc mung nam moi everyone ;D
hope everyone gets lots of li xi (Y)

[IwishIwasKOREAN]

I would say Happy Lunar New Year, because not everyone celebrates the Chinese New Year nor do they call it the Chinese New Year.

[YUNICA]

hurm, we didn't do much stuff this year. i miss having my granny with us. she will make sure
all her grandchildren get the best of the best at this very day. i used to receive huge red packet
from her; the first red packet. teehee. i felt really sad when we had dinner gathering yesterday. T____T
i miss her. but anyway, happy lunar new year everyone.

[iwanabiggal0lly]

We went to a Chinese restaurant with relatives. Then we met at grandmas house and passed out the red envelopes.
