Translation:Firstly, let me wish everyone a Happy New Year and A Thousand Blessings Upon Your Affairs. Since we’re here in Seattle, we’re missing family and friends back home as we don’t have many Malaysian Chinese friends here. There’s not much CNY atmosphere. It’s okay, as we will be having a party this weekend where we’ve invited 30 over people. Hopefully, we will have a happy celebration.I wrote okay, right?Pei Ling (my Chinese name in pin yin)Wish I had me some “smoke flowers” hehe.ps. I’ve made some revisions which some concerned friends (and relatives) have called all the way from Malaysia to make sure I address LOL. Thanks guys!

I’m gonna take a step out on a limb here and say uhhhh what….? I think I can only read the number 1 and 3 in there….
Anyway Happy CNY to you all. May the Year of the Rat bring you all loads of great memories and happy times ahead.
And to you too, Big Jeff! I heard you’re on your way here? How exciting man. Gong xi fa cai to you and yours.

So, what did it say on your CNY card?? I only know 1, 3 and the word “wor”.
Kung Hei Fatt Choy to you too and family.
I just put the translation up. Gong xi fa cai, Dawn!

Hey Jenn, you are doing great in your chinese post. If I’m not mistaken, at line 2, instead of ?????, it should be ?????.
Then at line 5, ?? means death. The right pin yin for “hope” is “xi wang” so it should be ??.
Hope you don’t mind me giving my suggestions.
Whoops! Of course not lady! I’m learning all the same. Yea I don’t know why my unicode doesn’t seem to be working which was why I had to make my last post as an image.

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family! There’s not much of a Chinese New Year atmosphere here in UK too, and we are missing everyone back home.
I’ve always enjoyed your postings, thank you for sharing.
Have a good year ahead!
p/s: I happen to share the same ‘pei’ as you too!
