[archerzzy]

[EsperanzaVerdadero]

I was born in the year of the monkey ^_^ My best friend is Chinese, and MY favorite part about Chinese New Year is seeing the design on the Red Envelopes... She likes the inside better though.

[klsuperman]

Red pocket money is the elder give it to the junior generation until the junior get married

[iiSh0tZu]

lmfao, i know what movie u got that from! LMFAO

[h00what]

you so cute

[Vinitachi]

Good god, I'm going to be that type of uncle when I'm older... and when I get nieces and nephews. Age 21... going to be in this decade. God I am getting old.

Crap part is the drying up of the money gathering in my favorite time of the year... and of course being old.

you are being very offensive to koreans.

[sonychak]

Gotta love them red envelopes... also i used to have that closet. I know random, but I wanted to comment that.

[ayjntghost]

man.. i love the way ur cantonese sound.. its awesomely amazing!

[lauralam95]

filled with MONEEEEY!!!

[vicetech]

I like how in the end you provided the typical phrases used during new years or other celebrations. I am a Chinese and find it cool. (mostly because I can barely speak it I get to practise saying it :D)

[DoomRifle]

that's so stereotype....

[LyricalScripts]

So mo liu.............

[edwardchan1028]

[MissYau]

@Mishytt It is in Sheffield if you're a student =P

[evilsharky]

LOL i thought this was from a movie! haha good imitation!

[jerjeremy]

can u write and read chinese?

[MissYau]

@jerjeremy I've been learning for almost 3 years so I know enough but I can't read a whole newspaper or a book yet.

[cubicbox]

@MissYau just curious, do you learn simplified or traditional chinese characters? :D

I'm from hong kong and it seems to me that a lot out there learn the simplified one :P

[MissYau]

@cubicbox I'm learning simplified characters but I learnt traditional as well when I was younger.

[chelsea82000]

@MissYau I learn traditional chinese at school.

And it is not nice opening a red pocket in front of ur uncle, if it was my uncle he will beat the sh*t out of me :(

[mesophyllcell]

your awkward girl, but well i love HK too :)

[groovy4]

The part where Stephen Chow tries to join their martial arts club LOL. No wonder it's so familiar!

[narfnak]

邊有親戚要你封返利是比佢架-_-;

[LaLaLion321]

nice scarf!

[mchu519]

haha did you get the idea from one of the stephen chow movies where the "dai low" gives the red evenlope to stephen chow.

[MissYau]

@mchu519 Fist of Fury 1991 :)

[AndrewCedricThe2nd]

@MissYau wow chen zi dan loll :p

[DavChio]

OMG! i recognize this skit, its a scene from a steven chow's movie 新精武門1991!

[earthmaster]

Hmm if your the year of the snake I'm gonna guess that your 21? As I highly doubt ur in your 30s. Not to be creepy or anything, I'm the same age thats how I came up with that so easily. Also consider yourself lucky my parents have never given me red pockets and yes I come from a pure chinese family.

[vivianJBWKZ]

im year of the pig! :D

[7thsanctum]

A pound isn't even enough to get the bus anymore :(

[maridude]

DAAP PA C! haha

[gord21]

Goodness! It's the gangster scene in Fist of Fury 1991. Nicely done. Happy Chinese New Year!

[ilikeradiohead]

~sun tai geen hong~

~dai gut dai lay~

~long ma dging sun~ [x

[sayjaibao011]

@x3claudiaaa  Wah! Your Cantonese ho kiu ging ar!! :)

[TheShadowParliament]

I was born in the year of the Tiger, but there's also a sub standard. Like which element you was born into also, that's Fire with me. I'm Asian, and we do something like Chinese New Year....

[giraffepolice]

Chinese people so greedy??!!! Shocking stereotyping.

Did you go to school to learn Cantonese?

[MissYau]

@giraffepolice Not largely ... learnt it from my parents really. I did go to Chinese school too but that only played a small part. I mostly learnt how to read and write at school.

[xaLw]

i remember hearing before its bad luck to open the envelopes in front of the person who gave it to you D=

... year of the ram... yay...

[huckerby]

happy new year MissYau! hope none of your uncles/aunties gave you empty lai si :P 新年快乐！

[ikimus]

Year of the tiger! Tigers ftw! xD

[freefreakster]

Year of the Horse haha. Yippee.

Oh the some interesting words in canto that are also used in mandarin and I'm used to hearing and thinking of it as Taiwanese LOL.

[Zcoz1]

im born in the year of mouse!! =)



[ayumikomatsu]

Year of the Snake!!! Hssssss...

[WNSoren]

not about the red packets? WTF?

[AznBambooPanda]

i thought only married people gave out red envelopes. as long as youre single, you'll still get money but once youre married you'll be the one giving money away ^^

[pyropiece]

You shoulda just said " DEWWWWWWWWWW" To your uncle

[dorkiesan]

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR i'm not chinese but HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

[RaNd0mTeen]

my dad gave me $100 O .o Very generous this year. HAHAH. I was born in 1993, but because when I was born, my birthday was before Chinese New Years. So I'm year of the Monkey instead of the Rooster :P

[september120th]

Gong Hay Fat Choy^^

[xkrnbabox]

[escf12008]

Goat/ Ram/ Sheep, well, its one of them,lol.

Btw How did "Fist of Fury" inspire this vid? o_O

[MissYau]

@escf12008 The skit scene was part of the film :)

[MissYau]

@escf12008 And are you thinking of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury? Because it's not .. it's Stephen Chows Fist of Fury 1991.

[wenshikang]

[MissYau]

@pagano60 Don't forget about that nail polish.

[pagano60]

Year of the Rat (wouldn't you know it?)

[inneruniverse17]

[eddseaver]

[CKLH]

lol but only married people give out red packets. You can't just ask anybody for a red packet.

[kamatoo8]

red pockets... not packets

Even, last year i got 564 bucks

[kamatoo8]

red pockets... not packets

[Bunyeetv]

@kamatoo8

Well its actually called a mutiple of things in different countries and it depends on your dialect.

It is often know as;

red pockets, red packets, red envelopes, hong bao, lai see, ang bao etc etc

however regardless of what its called... its always great to receive!! =]

If your interested in learning more about red packets check out our blog and our digital red packet service.

at - bunyee.com/blog/

[MissYau]

@kamatoo8 No. actually, red packets, pockets, envelopes .. they're all fine. Let's not go through life picking at little details that don't get you anywhere yeah? Life's too short.

[crusiatusblack]

Sun nihn faai lok! :D Sun tai gihn hong =o

[ddonq]

Your door is skinny. I guess it's because UK people are skinny, while Americans are fat and have wider doors.

[MissYau]

@ddonq Ahaha! Simon that's funny! :P

[saebro]

@ddonq ROFL? I rather have a wide door any day. Good luck with moving all the furniture in and out of your rooms.
