Yet another month has gone by for the New Year 2013. The Chinese will be celebrating Year of Water Snake beginning this coming Sunday 10-FEB-2013. As usual, the Chinese will be busy paying/ clearing outstanding bills/ tasks before the Lunar New Year for a good auspicious start ahead.
Every other year, I will keep aside/ reuse the new-looking $2/ $10 notes (especially those with lucky 8 in serial no) for red packets (such as CNY 压岁钱 for good luck/ health). Sometimes, I will still need to go to the bank to exchange additional $10 notes for the Lunar New Year. For this year 2013, I am not alone in this green practice. MAS has also issued ‘good-as-new’ $2 notes, along with brand new ones.
Best wishes to all! Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai! 新年快乐! 恭喜发财!
