Our kind of New Year, The Lunar New Year

It was a joke made in the Simpsons where the police chief confiscated fireworks from the Chinese in their town. The reason of confiscating the fireworks was danger to the public and saying that its crazy the chinese are celebrating New Year in February.

In hot and steamy Singapore, we celebrate many kinds of New Year. We even have public holidays to remind us of these days. But to me, the most important and most looked forward to is the Chinese Lunar New Year. Why? Simply put... Im a Chinese(even though a banana, but still chinese rite??) and we should be proud of our background and the way we celebrate our New Year. With so many things happening during the 14days of the Lunar New Year, its hard to catch up with the all the action happening at the same time.

This Lunar New Year, i will not be celebrating it at home. Im going on a trip to Perth, Australia to celebrate with my family. Since this is the only time we can go on a holiday as a family, im just glad that we can spend time together as a family.
