恭喜恭喜! Kong Xi Kong Xi!

This is a traditional Chinese New Year song that was written long before I was born. I will be spending the first day of the Dragon New Year alone and I thought it'd be nice that I could sing a song here. That way I can spend my New Year with the whole wide world instead of with myself. Sorry about the "yelp" in the background. That's my little rat terrier, Jhena saying, "Happy New Year!" too. Have a happy, joyful, and rewarding Year of the Dragon, everyone! Cheers!

Everywhere in the streets,
Every person's mouth
