Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

It's the year of the Rat!  While most readers are in the US or other places outside of Asia, I am here enjoying my two days off for CNY.  It's nice and quiet in Singapore, a rare treat.  Many shops and restaurants are closed and construction work even stopped for a few hours.

Here is some good Rat info:

Every year there is a special CNY song.  It is recorded by many groups and played over and over again throughout the season.  The M-Girls are a popular Malaysian Chinese girl group.   http://www.mymgirls.com

I thought you might enjoy their rendition.  The first song is the official 2008 song, the rest is a colorful medley of M-Girl festive tunes.  This is sure to give you a C-Pop overdose.  (I did not film this)-
