Pronounced Gong See Fa Choy means Happy New Year in Chinese! I am actually saying it and quite comfortable with my pronunciation if I do say so myself! It is strange because I have always been conscious of just how long you wish someone a happy new year after new years day. I have always gone by my own rule that after January 31st all “happy new years” were off! I always hated those people who you would see in March and they would wish you a happy new year. [inside my head]
True, I may not have seen you since January but the year is not new lets move on! So here I am breaking my own rule…February 13 and I am wishing people Gong Xi Fa Cai! I am justify the breaking of the rule by 1) saying it in a different language 2) Actually celebrating the Rat and not 2008. Whew! I feel better now.
Ok while on the subject of Chinese New Year, I’d like to share some pictures of the client event I planned to help celebrate the occasion.

Hmm, doesn't the Chinese New Year start in February? Hence the recent celebration.
Also, is Lo-Hei the women in the picture with you?
