May this OX year be a golden year for all of us…

Tomorrow, 25th Jan 2009 is Chinese New Year eve. The coming 2009 year of the earth Ox also called 2009 year of the Bull or Buffalo is around the corner. It looks like we’ve got honest, candid and open natured year ahead. As you might guess, coming 2009 year of the earth Ox is dependable, calm and modest. Sun sign horoscope for the 2009 year of the Ox, like his animal sign, is unshakably patient, full of hard work and tireless though need financial support to fulfill your ideas and make your desires.

I saw thousands of street vendors since 2 days ago. Traffic near my home is just helpless. The roads are fully occupied with vendors. Yes, this is where you can find CHINESE stuffs at one place. From food to flowers, everything is YES. This street bazaar normally takes place only once a year and lasts for 4 days. Vendors sell 24 hours a day until the new year eve.

Friends, may I wish A VERY HAPPY LUNAR YEAR OF OX and GONG XI FAH CAI…

@ Nae Ae Wah >> Thanks for stopping by and comment. Yes, I love sharing all those information about the festivals and events. To write these, I normally spend couples of hours reading different articles and making gist. Then I compose my own descriptions. I am glad that you love to know these customs and traditions… Many more to come, my friend…
