Chinese New Year

Today we are celebrating the Chinese new year. A Chinese friend of my sister always gave us the popular "tikoy" or Nian Gao during this celebration every year.  This is already their tradition of giving away "tikoys" to their neighbors as part of their custom. Eating tikoy during this time is considered good luck, that's according to the Chinese belief.  To all my Chinese Filipino friends I would like to greet you Kung Hei Fat Choi.

To all my Chinese friends and relatives, wishing you all a happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Year of the Fire Monkey!
