It was some intense night, right? I bet if you live in place where Chinese People thrived, you'd probably heard explosion endlessly riddled the night. But that's alright... It's normal. They're now having their own version of New Year.

Chinese People called this as the Beginning of the New Year and Luck. According to the Chinese themselves, they believed by celebrating these, they would get more prosper and luck by days to come, either for themselves and for glory. There has been many things associated with this celebration, though I'm not a Chinese myself.

Look at this video first before we get started.


You must watch this from start to end to know why this celebration is MEMORABLE and HEARTENING.

I've learnt many things about this celebration based on my own experience with them. Let me jolt some of them here :
1. They cannot sweep their house for three consecutive days, as sweeping the floor during the three days will sweep away luck.
2. They might be blowing some firecrackers at night. The Chinese believe that burning these stuffs can drive demons and ghosts away.
3. Ever heard of Lion Dance?


It's dance that drives demon away. According to their tradition, there are evil spirits that try to scare the villages. A lion appears to scare them away.

4.Sweet, this one's the most delighted to be heard of  - RED PACKET!!!!
The married people will give red packets to the children. The red packet contains money, usually huge sum of it. Don't forget to grab them!

5. Chinese New Year Eve Dinner
This usually done during midnight. It involves the whole family. It's a family reunion that encourages brotherhood and Harmonics among the family members.

6. Orange
We all always see this during this celebration. Don't deny it, you've been eating since last Monday, right?
The Orange also signifies luck and prosper among the Chinese.

So, what're you waiting for? Let's enjoy this Chines New Year, be it Chinese or non-Chinese. This celebration would not just making families tighter and more peaceful, but also casts Harmonics to non-Chinese community. Remember, 1Malaysia!


Last words, Happy Chinese New Year to all Chinese Readers, wish you all a very good luck and prosper this year. One more thing, don't forget eat your oranges and soon as possible, as they're gonna get bad if you all don't do so.

P/S : Ah, S**t! I forgot to post TWGOK and HTT again!
