For couples around the world, it was an enjoyable Saturday, as February 14th also known as Valentines' Day, fell on a day where they don't need to work and study. Also, for all the single people in the world (like me) it was just a normal Saturday. From my opinion unless you're in a relationship, Valentines' Day is just another day for them.
Sure, they can go out with their friends but when they see couples having a great time together they might feel left out. For me though, I don't really celebrate Valentines', not yet at least, so it doesn't matter that much to me.
For all the Chinese in the world, last Thursday was a very special and important day as it was day 1 of Chinese New Year. It is the year of the Goat, so decorations for the celebration will be revolving around the goat as the main theme this year.
Besides the dazzling decorations, the food is one thing I personally enjoy the most during Chinese New Year. This is the time of year for you to gain weight as you might be eating non-stop throughout the holidays. This made me feel very unhealthy and fat.
Another thing is receiving ang paos. As children, every year during Chinese New Year we receive "ang paos" from your married elders, like your parents or relatives who are married. So we end up going around visiting nearly everyone we know to chit chat or just have a great time together.
Have a great Chinese New Year!
