🎉CHINESE NEW YEAR🎉

Yuling
Colour: Yellow
Instead of red, the customary colour that everyone automatically relates to when thinking of Chinese New Year, I chose yellow. Why, you ask? Yellow is a bright and cheerful colour, depicting the feelings of people during the New Year period. It is a festive colour, while it is also the colour of new ideas. It symbolizes a different way of starting the new year.

Picture:

New Year is a time for fun and festivity. What else can be more fun and festive than firecrackers? Let's say goodbye to 2013 and hello to 2014 with a bang~!

Symbol: $.$

What is one of the main highlights of CNY for us teens? Receiving red packets, of course! Whenever Chinese New Year is nearing, the thoughts in our head would most certainly be revolving around our soon-to-be richness. Yes, let's hope that we can visit more people and receive more red packets hehe. Time to get rich~! $.$

Colour : Red
The first colour that comes to my mind is definitely red. During Chinese new year, the colour red is seen and found everywhere. There are red firecrackers, red coloured decorations, and we get many red envelopes, which are also known as ang paos too! Red can symbolise good fortune, good luck and happiness. Thus, I chose the colour red as I believe that Chinese New year is a happy day where we are wished good fortune and luck by our relatives or parents.

One thing that cannot be missing during Chinese New year is the mouth watering Chinese new year goodies. Chinese New year goodies are really tasty, making us want more and more of them, but they are also very fattening ): . Thus, we would have to take note of the amount we eat and not eat too much or we will definitely gain a huge amount of weight after Chinese New year!

MONEY ~
When we visit our relatives house to pay a New Year call, we would get red envelopes containing money inside. Thus, I used the dollar symbol to represent money and I look forward to getting many
red envelopes during Chinese New Year ! :D

Colour : Orange

Normally, when people think of Chinese New Year, red is definitely their first choice. However, after some thought, I personally feel that orange is a more suitable colour :). Why, you ask? That is because orange, as we all know, is a mixture of red and yellow, both common colours associated with festive seasons like Chinese New Year. Other than that, orange also stands for good health, joy and also hyper-ness. Orange is also the colour of oranges(wut), which is the first thing we offer our relatives when visiting. Well, another reason is that I LOVE ORANGES(omnomnom) and its not that common a colour :3.

This picture depicts a smiley(i guess) with an excited and eagerly anticipating expression. I chose this picture as it is exactly how I feel during the Chinese New Year season. My excitement is mainly from the ang paos($$), meeting up with my relatives(like finally._.), getting to eat good food(omnomnom) and not having that much homework to do(UGH YES!). I anticipate the arrival of Chinese New Year as it is the time to enjoy myself without having to worry about school, gaining weight and many other problems which leaves me in constant paranoia. Thus, I chose this picture to depict my feelings towards Chinese New Year~<3.

Symbol : +

When you see the "+" sign, what comes to mind? For me, I think of addition and positivity.

During the New Year period, much good comes our way: prosperity, happiness, strengthened bonds and of course, MONEY ($.$) However, there are disadvantages too, like...fats. DX The many delicacies we consume without any restraints, unfortunately, only add on to our increasing body weight. (Did you know, the calories in a slice of bak kwa is about that of a bow of rice?? >.<) Imagine, all the extra laps we have to run during P.E.~ But... fear not. Let us be consoled by the fact that positive things outweigh the bad ones ^^ Like, how we get richer every time Chinese New Year rolls around :D

Colour : Orange

For me Chinese New Year is about exchanging oranges with my relatives and wishing them well wishes. This is because it is only during Chinese New Year would people go to their relatives's houses that they may not visit two or three times a year and exchange mandarin oranges. Not only that, after exchanging oranges, we would catch up on each other's life and it is really meaningful for me so orange, the colour of the mandarin oranges is a colour that I would like to use to represent. Chinese New Year.

cr: to the owner of the above picture.

During Chinese New Year the most important thing that can not be missing are the new clothes and shoes bought in celebration of the Chinese New Year. As it is the New Year, a new start, new clothes and shoes are definitely not missed out. When we are visiting our relatives, everyone would be dressed nicely in their new clothes and shoes looking neat and tidy to celebrate the new year while wishing others well wishes. Therefore for me, new clothes and shoes is something that is very evident in Chinese New Year.

Symbol : (:
Chinese New Year is held to celebrate a brand new year and the mood is all festive and happy. Everywhere you go, you would always see smiles on people's faces, therefore I choose a smiley face as a symbol that would like to use to represent Chinese New Year. Not only that, during. Chinese New Year I would get to meet lots of relatives and hang out with my cousins and other family members too and for me, being able to spend time with my family is a really blissful thing and it makes me feel happy to be together with them. Last but not least, I am also very elated to be able to get lots of red packets from my relatives as not only will I get money which I can use to buy things I like, it also represents all the well wishes that my relatives give me. The goodies that I get to indulge myself in is also something that I enjoy and makes me happy. As I am a food lover, seeing so much food will always brighten up my day, furthermore, during Chinese New Year, there isn't any limit in which the amount I can eat^^ With all this, who would not be happy on Chinese New Year? Therefore I chose a smiley face to represent it.

During Chinese New Year , the thing that reminds me of the latest Chinese New Year , is always the lion dance . I have always wondered how the lion dancers can do their moves so smoothly and nicely . As the saying goes 台上十分钟，台下十年功 . So , I do respect the lion dancers for putting in so much effort into their training and hence the first thing that I think of is the lion dance.

Symbol : $$$$$$$$$$

 During Chinese New Year, we get our red packets which makes us richer and richer is just a matter of days ! During Chinese new year, me and our cousins will compare with who gets the most amount money in the red packets. In conclusion , I LOVE THE RED PACKETS~
