Chinese New Year is a holiday that celebrates the beginning of a new year according to the lunar calendar. It is considered to be the most important holiday for Chinese families.

It's counting days to Chinese New Year. My wife and I have decorated our home with lanterns, pussy willows, plum blossoms and other auspicious ornaments on welcoming this new year. Decorations are always in red and gold to symbolize prosperity and good fortune. Some of the decor items are newly bought from shops in Petaling Street while others were from previous years collection being re-use again this year.

This new year will be the year of The Tiger. Here, I wish everyone a ROARING and PAWS-PEROUS YEAR ahead, GONG XI FA CAI
