Cocka-Doodle-Doo for a Great New Year!

Happy Lunar 'Birthday' everyone! Yup, for the non-Chinese, or if you are Chinese and you don't know...here's a trivia: Today, the 7th day of the Lunar New Year is also called "ren (people) ri (day)". As what I have learnt from my mum *heh...disclaimer going on here*, apart from the Reunion Dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year, this is the other significant day where families reunite again.

This is the time when the loud, potentially splattering, joyous and luck-inducing occasion of "Lo Hei" takes place. "Lo ah...*splitter splatter*...gong hei fatt choy...*fling*...nian nian you yu...*stir*...Lo ah...strike lottery ah...*hahaha*...many many ah..." What fun! I hope you have "Lo-ed" before at some point in your life. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? Head down to the nearest supermarket and get a prepared set. DIY if you have to coz' you'd find yourself laughing (and potentially lucky in the year) anyway. What a way to start the year! If you have, keep doing it, spread some joy and eat, Eat, EAT!

May the Cock Year be good to you and your family...Gong Xi Fa Cai!
