Metal Bunny Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share 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?

Grido Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 lol, is there a colour code to each of the years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Bunny Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hey! My Chinese colleagues wished me Happy New Year...should I ask them for money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 yes...yes you should also ask for some chow mein or something, save buying dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaistig Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
