Gung Hay Faat Choy Everyone!!!! Happy New Year!!!

[Fu-Pow]

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!!!

No one started a thread like this so I thought I'd start it.

Even though I've never met any of you on the forum I feel like I know many of you through our countless exchanges (for good or for bad .)

Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you folks at some point in my martial arts career.

Have a good and prosperous year and spread the seeds of Wudang, Shaolin, Emei and the Karate Kid...... across the world.

Anyways, maybe people could tell us how they are gonna celebrate the new year.

For me and my kung fu school we will be doing non-stop lion and dragon dancing plus kung fu performances this weekend and the weekend after that. This is a big time of year for my school. I see lots of big chinese meals in my near future. This year I get to try Chicken feet for the first time.........

Fu-Pow,

May be you can try my favorite, pig's blood congee, next year.

There is a second line to the Chinese New Year's greeting:

Kung Hei Fat Choy,
Lai Si Dow Loy!

Wish you a prosperous New Year,
Where is my lucky packet money?

How am I gonna celebrate the New Year? I am gonna go around and wish everyone a Happy New Year with the two lines!

[JAZA]

Kung Hei Fat Choy for all,
Lai Si Dow Loy for extrajoseph! (I'll be waiting my money)

[extrajoseph]

right back at ya

Gonna go check out the lion dances on Saturday (the big day).
Should be some interesting meals to be had as well!

I wonder if there are any firecrackers to be found.

cheers

[extrajoseph]

Kung Lek,

Length do matter, our firecrackers are almost two storeys long with a big bang at the end and you need a licence to light them! With the drums, cymbols and gongs, you'll be mad not to wear a pair of ear plugs.


Eddie,

Why should anyone ever want to eat chicken legs? Because the most senior elder of Hung Sing CLF still alive told me once, eating a lot of chicken legs in black bean sauce will make the hair grow on your third leg! No wonder the South Africans are weak on their third legs in cricket! You guys don't eat chicken legs like we do, that is why! Duck feet are for the quacks....

Ngo Ge Kung Fu Hing Dai, Gung Ho Nei Sun Nin Fi Lok!

Gei jue, m'sik yeung aa.

Lin gong hing dai, sam lin hou, man seui, man seui, man man seui!

"Why do you celebrate the Chinese New Year?"

"Because it is the Year of the Ram and I can start goating around.", said the Chinaman sheepishly.

Now, is it the Year of the Ram, the Year of the Goat or the Year of the Sheep? Personally I like the Year of the Ram, it sounds more fun!

[JAZA]

XJoseph, seems you've been practicing Jui Kuen in the celebrations.

[Eddie]

Sisuk joseph,
Actually, in South Africa they eat just about any part of any animal. obviously different races (and ethnic groups) have different prefrences. There is a street vendor close to one of my families business sites who sells fried sheep brains (still inside the skull).

I hope it doesnt make you a bad clf player if you dont eat chicken legs . Thought chan heung said CF people must be vegitarian?

Only a few more days to the cricket world cup...
