Kung Hei Fat Choy

Many lucky AllStars had the opportunity to celebrate another New Year last week. It was the Lunar (or Chinese) New Year and lots of special celebrations took place to welcome in the Year of the Rat. Parades with Dragons and fireworks, yummy food and even red envelopes with money inside!

In our class, some people dressed up, some received money from relatives, some visited temples, and others had parties. Even Sandy dressed up in a Chinese outfit and joined in the fun

Here are some photos of us enjoying the celebrations!

Hi guys,

Sorry for not visiting, it’s just that every time i take the bus home and i reach my home….it’s 3:30-4:00pm.

How’s the class, I’ve heard from the people i have on msn that the students from our old class has been transferred to a new class. I also heard that there are new classes and new teachers as well.

Talk to you soon, Clement

Hello Allstars aka US!

Chinese New Year is a very special event for Asian countries to celebrate. This year is the year of the RAT! Usually on Chinese New Year, people give out red envolopes. The red envelopes contain lucky money. It is a legend, that if you clean up your house on Chinese New Year, it is bad luck. Did you know lots of people skip school for this event? =P

AZN PEOPLE RULEZ…. TOO BAD IM ONLY 1/8 OF AN AZN.. LMFAO…….. ANIWAYZ I FOUNDED OUT THAT Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.
