Happy New Year! It's Chinese New Year. Singapore celebrates Chinese New Year with 2 days of public holiday (no school, no work). The kids were invited to dress up in Chinese clothes on Friday for school. I thought the girls were adorable! Wyatt doesn't have school on Fridays, so he didn't dress up.
2013 is the Year of the Snake.
The Year of the Snake is a year for reflection, planning and searching for answers. Historically, the year of the Snake has never been peaceful. Our last Year of the Snake was 2001 (September 11th attacks) and the previous Snake year was 1989 where Chinese forces crushed pro-democracy protests around Tiananman Square. The Snake is the strongest negative force in the Chinese cycle and it follows the strongest positive force (dragon). Perhaps the calamities of the Snake are resulted from excesses committed during the Dragon reign.
As for me, 2013 looks like an excellent year. I can't wait to discover the adventures and lessons it has in store. Happy New Year to you! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
