Happy Chinese New Year!

Stardoll have decided to start celebrating New Year’s Eve (Year of the Dragon) by providing a free floating Chinese lantern within the recent quiz.

I’ve seen people on Twitter address everyone with “Ni hao” and then go on to say “Kung hei fat choi”. Dears, you’re speaking two different languages there. Great thing about the new year are the red envelopes *cough* as well as being a family fun-filled occasion where we can all hope for a prosperous year.

These are actually lai see I obtained in China before I left in October. They’re not just solely used for the new year. They come in a whole range of designs from Minnie Mouse to Hello Kitty. 

CCTV News have some great coverage on the big festivities right now – with monotonous and frozen dubs.

Stardoll’s latern is great and all . . but it doesn’t beat this one. I got sent this on BBM just last year.

If cannot recognise the little figure, it is little 晶晶! One of the five Beijing Olympic mascots who just so happens to be a Giant Panda.  Wenlock and Mandeville can kiss his little furry ass.

So on that final note, I shall bid my farewell.

 新年快樂!

心心.
