I find Chinese people (regardless of religion) who don't celebrate Chinese New Year very, very sad. Even my tudung-wearing Muslim-Chinese grand-auntie (wow how many hyphens were there?) gives out ang pau during Chinese New Year. There are even Malay & Indian lion dance performers, for chrissakes.

Why?

Because it's CHINESE NEW YEAR, not Nine Emperor God's festival or Sky Emperor's birthday. It's the new lunar year, not a bloody religious celebration.

'Religious the-bible-tells-me-so' people who have pre-marital sex and use God's name in vain anyhow, you can change your religion, but you can't change your race. In the Race check box, you still gotta tick Chinese.

It baffles me, these people. It's just Chinese New Year, not the devil's parade!
