according to the newspaper, it is very rare that Chinese New Year (CNY) and Valentine's Day falls on the same day..
since the 1900 till this year, there were only 4 times which these 2 festival met each other!! they fall on 1915 / 1934 / 1953 and of course this year.. (being bo liao, i went through online to search for the years)
it's so amazing and rare isn't it??
however, this year my family didn't celebrate as my grandma passed away last year.. according to some chinese belief, when there's a funeral (白事), you can't celebrate the first CNY which comes after that.. it's an taboo i guess.. of course, 另可信其有不可信其無; better safe than sorry right??
anyway, i'm also having my exam on friday (aka 6th day of CNY), so i got to prepare for it too.. this year really damn no good.. still got to prepare for exam.. but on a good side, i took 3 days leave to have a week's holiday!!
NO CNY & NO Valentine's Day make me a bored woman.. HaHa!!
