Thank you very much Shawn.

You are right, it is not for all Asian, just Chinese, it is a pure Chinese calendar. The first day was on 7th of this month, and the sign of this year is mouse.

Ahhh... I have had too much chocolate these few days, have got a bit (well.. not a bit, quite actually) fat...

Though there are several days holiday, I have been a bit busy. Some of my relatives and friends abroad have come back here for the new year.

Just a little side note: The Chinese calendar is not really lunar, but rather a mixture of solar and lunar one.

Wish all people here, whether Chinese or not, also joy, wealth.

Thank you Iluro. It is not late, it is still within the new year period. Usually it is regarded as the first fifteen days.

Yes you know better than me: The formal name is Rat rather than Mouse. (By the way, I am not too clear the distinguish of meanings between these two words.)

Hope your study get on well.

MaLing's avatar looks like it's about ready to eat the rat.

Ptolomeus, thanks! Usually we give red pockets for the first fifteen days, but sorry not for you here. Or please come here, I promise you will get one within the period.


Jito, that cat only catches rats, but likes to eat fish.
