Metal Bunny Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Last time I am actively online during 2008, so I gues, why not make it now? Happy New Year's! Grats earth, another lap around your giver of life.. although it would make more sense if you celebrated it during spring like the old days h-uh?
Frosty Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Have a great 2009 peeps ^^ 2008 was a blast, lets see if we can make 2009 even better!
Tenoch Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 ¡Feliz año nuevo! Incluso para aquellos que me pegaron en el Dojo Happy new year! Even for those who hit me in the Dojo

Grido Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Happy New Year, may it bring you even more happiness than the last and because i'm posting 37 mins later, it's 1h 44mins left till my year
Burns Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Happy new year!! and there's 364 days, 23 hours and 6 mins left of 2009 for me right now =) have fun, and hopefully you survive the hangover^^
Grido Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 i cant remember which country it is, but there's one near Australia which the international date line goes through the middle of, meaning they get New Year's twice 2h 19 mins into my new year now
Death Bell Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 happy new year every1.. soon put up a new batch of avatars up there
Raven Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Happy year since old one is already behind now and this new year is also already old.
Metal Bunny Posted January 1, 2009 Author Report Posted January 1, 2009 I came back at 8 am.. fell asleep and now i am awake.. at 3:30 pm... New Year started with a dry mouth..
Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 ::laughs:: yes, happy Chinese New Year. year of the Ox i believe
Metal Bunny Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 Yeah.. my brother has to wear red underwear for the coming year, cuz he's an ox , my mom too, hhehehehe
Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 lol, is there a colour code to each of the years?
Metal Bunny Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 no... red is just the main colour of happiness, manifesting itself in the realisation of dreams and goals, as well as an obscene amount of piles and piles of oodles of money..
Glaistig Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Mehh.. My dad thought it was New Year's Eve the day before the actual eve. Not that I knew myself, anyway. I had to ask Yami (and here is the relevance to MD), and she also went on to tell me how to say Happy New Year in three different languages. Our family is American. >_> But my dad brought home fried pork skin, duck meat, BBQ pork, peanut-butter sesame dim sum, egg cakes, dumplings, bean curd soup, boiled chicken and sticky cake from Grandma's. n___n I'm so happy, I'm happy just boasting about it. I love Chinese New Year. Oh, I have to check how much money I got from Grandma too. Suckers.
Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 *suddenly wants chinese relatives.....somehow* i don't think i've really celebrated chinese new year, due to having no link to china or the new year, but if i get to eat chinese food and get money then i might next year
dst Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Hey! My Chinese colleagues wished me Happy New Year...should I ask them for money?
Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 yes...yes you should also ask for some chow mein or something, save buying dinner
Glaistig Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 It's too late now, dst. -_- Hey, I will tell you a surefire way to gain a Chinese family, without the hassle of marrying a Chinese woman. It's a secret tactic! Find the closest old Chinese lady and talk to her whenever you pass by. Act curious, outgoing, friendly. Ask her gardening tips, make her tell you how to say this or that word in her language, comment on various things she does, relate conversations you had with others and ask her opinion. Bring her gifts like eggs, fruit and vegetables: "Do you like these? How do you cook them?" If you're male, it would behoove you to be abashed whenever she compliments you. If she ever mentions something you can help with, do so eagerly! She should begin talking about her children and grandchildren, and when that happens you should start calling her Auntie (ask first though). At this point you can begin asking about her past days and talking about your love life (fake or real). On holidays, if you follow these directions, she will start giving small gifts. If you keep this up for an extended period, you will meet members of her family and be called Uncle by her grandchildren! :) The bean curd was a little disappointing. Too many dehydrated oysters overpowered the delicate taste. Someone cooked the BBQ pork and duck with tomato-cauliflower; I ended up eating only the cauliflower. But otherwise, very good! And I also got egg rolls, biscuit cookies, dried-salted plums and tangerines with the stems and leaves attached to them.
Grido Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 i think you may have looked into this too much Glai and it seems a lot of effort to get Chnese New Year pressies, also my family is large enough without making it bigger by adding another family to it
dst Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Thank you Glai. Now my appetite is back. I was a bit worried cause I had some issues and I did not eat for the hole day but after reading your post I am definitely raiding the fridge . I could try the Chinese family thing but there aren't so many Chinese in Bucharest and the ones that live here are almost invisible...
