Happy (Chinese) New Year everyone! I have to apologize for not being able to update this blog as much as I would like. It’s been a busy start to 2008 and I finally found 10 min to blog a little bit.

I’ve lived in Canada all my life, but I have been celebrating chinese new year with my family. It’s probably not exactly the same way people would celebrate in HongKong and China, but I assume it’s close enough.

But the main reason I’m blogging is because my parents gave me some really cute “red pockets” or lucky money envelopes. Below are very beautifully designed Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty envelopes, definitely a thumbs up! The best part about them is it does not look like those traditional red pockets, and yet it serves the same purpose. The money stays intact, but it also looks so good that I don’t care if there was money inside or not.

In addition to cute graphics for chinese new year, I’ve spotted Yahoo! and Google chinese new year themed logos. Very cute as well.

Anyway, I’m going to work on re-vamping my portfolio and website this weekend, as well as cleaning up my blog. So if all goes well, stay tuned for the site update! Until then, best of luck to everyone.

Found out today was Google‘s 9th Birthday when I was googling earlier. Has it only been 9 years? Seems like Google has been here all my life. Anyway it’s been a very successful 9 years, so it should definitely something to celebrate. To learn more about Google.. just google it! seriously.

On a side note, I really love the pinata “9″. Looks awesome. To see some older birthday editions of Google, check the Google unofficial news and tips site.

Happy Googling.
