What CNY is all about?

Chinese New Year! The Year of Golden Tiger kicks off with bright start; firecrackers and fireworks highlight the skyline; greeting every Chinese around the world, "Gong Xi Fatt Chai, Xin Nian Kuai Le!" This year has been so much fun particularly as I have longer holiday compares to previous year where my holiday for CNY was just merely 3days, instead, I have 1 week off - no books, no assessment kits, no exams; more fun, more joy, more holiday, more food, more beer! Ooppss ... :) Oh well, less writing this time around yeah? Ok ...

As the title implies, let's the pictures do the talking yeah?
