and celebrating the chinese new year in new zealand.
i knew its was around now wassnt really sure what date tho.
What do you mean that its the lunar new year? the earth doesnt spin around the moon unless you consider it as the moon and the earth spin around each other and in that case the new year would be every 28.5 days.. sorry i dont understand, dont be offended cos im simply curious...

Hello yenonn, I happened to be a chinese from Malaysia, too!
I am studying in Japan now, though. And I won't be home during Chinese New Year this year.
But I am glad to hear that there are other people who use linux in Malaysia

I could be wrong... in fact, I probably am, but I'm going out on a limb here: I thought a Lunar year was 12 Lunar months (28 days), so it'd be a 336 day year.

today is the last day of chinese new year...
which we(chinese ppl) always called it Chap Goh Meh...
Actually, Chap Goh Meh means the fifthteen day of chinese new year...and it is also means the last day of chinese new year...
Chap Goh Meh is also one of the most interesting day in chinese society...
For those who is single or will be getting married, they will go to the river and throw orange in old days, and hoping that they will get a good partner in this year and live in happy life.... Nowadays, chinese young guys and girls will never throw orange in the river (due to the water hygenic as well as water pollution)..then, they will treat today as a chinese valentine...
so.... i wish all of the chinese linuxers who is staying all around the world happy chap goh meh... and happy chinese valentine....
