Gong Xi Fa Cai

Enlightened Pink Pig

Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai! Congratulations and be prosperous (or so the saying goes). Wishing all a warm greeting of Happy Chinese New Year (Year of the Pig) here from Singapore.

I'm used to back in the Philippines being greeted by my Chinese-Filipino friends and my Binondo raised classmates in college with Kung Hei Fat Choi (using Fookien or Cantonese dialect). Mandarin is mainly used here in Singapore, thus people greet one another "Gong Xi Fa Cai!" while presenting hong bao red envelopes (I assume filled with goodies such as money or gift checks). Whatever.

Hoping for a better year. Or better yet, praying and doing something positive and productive in order this year to be a better one.
