WS: Chinese New Year

January 25th, 2009

tikoy-anyone
Tikoy, anyone?

My sister teaches at a Chinese school somewhere in Manila. Her students, all Chinese of course, gave her boxes of Tikoy. Tikoy, according to Chinese, is a sign of good luck. It means that luck and success will stick with you throughout the year.

Did you know that there are other flavors of tikoy besides the usual white one? Ube is my favorite!

It’s the Year of the Ox. The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. We need to work hard people.

Happy (Chinese) New Year everyone!
