Usher CNY

January 25 marks the start of Chinese New Year 2009. There was no glitter and glamour celebration in Dubai to ursher the year of Ox.
In Chinatown, Nakheel's Dragon Mart is hosting a special month of festivities including live dance performances, traditional craft activities and stalls throughout the mall.

A week before the CNY, Michelle and Raymond were busy shopping for decorations like Chinese lanterns, auspicious Chinese characters and symbols and prosperity knot.



Over here, New Year is the time for reunion and thanksgiving. We celebrated this special time of the year with a small party at home.







As the tradition the household is encouraged to stay up all night gambling into New Year’s Day. Some believe the longer you stay up, the longer your life will be. Yeah...we played "wang besar, wang besar" till mid night.


To dear ones on this joyous occasion, let the Ox sends this heartfelt wishes to you and your family. May you have lots of happiness, good health and good fortune!
