新年快乐！！！ (<----- Happy New Year!!!)

Nothing like squandering away the (chinese) new year by listening to sad oldie tunes I grew up with. The thing about the Chinese language is that phrases can be so concise yet manage capture a multitude of nuances elegantly, poetically and beautifully... I don't know how to describe it to non-speakers. Anyway, I remember yelling at my dad from my bedroom about blasting/karaokeing this stuff at 9am on the weekends. I've come a loooonnnggg way... Good stuffs!
