Here in Singapore, we celebrate the Chinese New Year. It is during this period of time when the Chinese children collect red packets from other elders as a sign of good luck.
Traditionally in China, Chinese New Year marks the start of the Spring season. Some countries get to celebrate Chinese New Year for a full 15 days. In Singapore, even though we celebrate Chinese New Year for 15 days, we only get 2 to 3 days of public holiday.
We celebrate Chinese New Year first with a reunion dinner on the eve of the New Year. It is here where we get to sit down and eat with the entire family, including our relatives whom we do not see often.
The next few day will pass very quickly when we visit our relatives.........................
