Gong xi fa cai, Gong xi fa cai

Wishing all my friends and readers a very happy Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Today is the 2^nd day of Chinese New Year in the year of Tiger. The Tiger symbolizes bravery, strength, determination and energy and I hope that like the Tiger, you will have the strength of mind and spirit and energy of the Tiger to meet any challenges that may be ahead and may you emerge victorious!

May the roar of the Tiger brings good luck, good health, prosperity, peace, love, calm and success to you and your family. Here’s wishing you “chut-yap-ping-onn” (Keep safe always), “shen-thai-keen-hong” (Good health always), “ma-tou-kung-seng” (Success), “pou-pou-kou-xing” (For those who are working, may you climb the corporate ladder with great success) and “sum-seong-see-sing” (May all your wishes come true).

I hope that this holiday also gives you the opportunity to foster better ties with your loved ones, family and extended family and relatives, your neighbors and friends too. It’s a great time to catch up with friends and old school-mates.

Have a blessed new year and stay safe.

As this year’s Chinese New Year also coincides with Valentine’s day, I’ll like to wish everybody a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Chap Goh Mei (the 15^th day of CNY is on 28^th Feb), it’s also the Chinese Valentine’s Day… don’t despair if you have missed the 14^th Feb, there’s always the 28^th Feb… J

Have a great week, or rather fortnight J.
