The streets of Malaysia are being decked gayly with red posters and yellow Chinese calligraphy.
Rows of crimson lanterns, attached to wire, link lampost to lampost, street to street.
The air is full of the merry music that accompanies every Chinese New Year. The tv ads have been replaced with CNY greetings. TV2 is boasting of its "oriental special shows".
It's supposed to be a bad, bad, bad economical year, but the Year of the Ox in the Zodiac seems to have ushered in, along with it, a bursting festive bull market. The grocery stores are filled with banners of "Unbelievable Chinese New Year prices!" Pictures of oxen and water buffalo cover the newspapers and stampede on the barbeequed meat shops (the ones selling long yoke). Cookies are on sale agian (yaaaa!).
I think Chinese New Year's in the air.
