as my blood roots originated from farmlands of ancient china, i'd like to wish you, "kung hai fat choy," as the year of the ram has come. i've immensely enjoyed celebrating chinese new year's every year as i always get a few red envelopes from my folks, relatives, or elders. for instance, during on the cruise, i got a few triple digit bills from the old fart group. i guess i just joined this group in such a perfect timing where these old farts just love to spoil kids with their pensions. sometimes it's such a bliss to be a chinese ;-)
