Thursday night which means last night stay in Springfield! I just actually got home not too long ago. My co-workers and I went to visit another co-worker that lives here to celebrate her post baby shower. She’s a Chinese so all the food served were different kind of Chinese pica pica which was interesting. I had a good time getting to know my family here in Chicago. After that, we separated our ways–as to there are two staff houses–and here I am now. Tomorrow, I plan on taking the driver’s exam first thing in the morning–just the written exam first.  I’m doing a scan on the rules of the road of  Illinois after this entry.  So Imma say buhbye now!

Signing off!

 

Happy Chinese New Year!!

At least, let me start off by greeting you a Happy Chinese New Year in chinese:

“Gong Xi Fa Cai!!” (Wishing you to be prosperous in the coming year)

And a fun way to respond to that one:

“Hong Bao Na Lai. ^^” (Red envelope please!)

Another way of saying Happy Chinese New Year is:

“XIN NIAN KUAI LE!” (新年快樂) which quite literally means Happy New Year.

Xin Nian (新年) is New Year. Xin is new and Nian is year.
Kuai le (快樂) is happiness, joy, delight, or rejoicings.

So it’s like ‘New Year Happy’ in Chinese when you literally translate it. 😀

Anyways, have fun today (Hell yeah, coz it’s holiday today!!). Wear lucky stuff and anything that could fight off bad spirits and luck! Listen to feng shui and live a prosperous year. Duuh, tho even I have doubts in those things. But whatever, there’s no harm in trying. Good luck!
