Marks the Chinese New Year

Kung Hei Fat Choi

The most awaited big event among Chinese Communities not only in Asia but in every part of the world. On January 23, it marks the celebration of Chinese New Year. Every establishments displays different lucky charm to attract the Dragon.  Chinese traditions and customs are the highlights of this big event such as: giving “Ang-Pao”, displaying oranges on the table, preparing “Tikoy”, and other Chinese foods.   

  

This is the year that all Chinese believe to be a lucky year. A Dragon is a legendary animal that lived in China and other Asian countries during the olden times. Oriental Dragon is commonly described to be an animal that brings luck. Unlike the Western Dragon, described to be a ferocious and destructive animal

 

 

The Dragon roars

 

"I have come to disperse the dark clouds for I am the center of all energy and I hold the power and glory. After all, I am the dragon."

Water Dragon is the least imperious of the five type: metal, wood, fire and earth. Being the least opinionated and selfish of the dragons, it is also democratic and liberal-minded, and can accept defeat and rejection with grace and without bitterness.

The Water Dragon is reputed to be inhibited, but progress is written all over its character.

Remember that the dragon magnifies both success and non-successes equally. Thank God water has a calming and beneficial effect on it.
