And so I want to give you a few things I was able to glean 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:60.000 from the year of the pig. First of all, the year of the pig 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.000 in recent years was 1947, 1959 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.000 There is bound to be someone in here who was born in one of those years, 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.000 if you where born in one of those years give yourself a big shoutout. 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:23.000 Alright, there you go. 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:28.000 So what are some of the characteristics of those born in the year of the pig, 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.000 they may not stand out in the crowd but they are very realistic, 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:36.000 others may be all talk and no action, pigs are the opposite. 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:40.000 Though not wasteful spenders, they will enjoy life 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.000 they love entertainment and will occasionally treat themselves, 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.000 they are a bit materialistic, but this motivation for them is to work harder. 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.000 Being able to hold solid objects in their hands give them security. 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.000 Additionally the year of the pig talks about the characteristics that give them 00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:60.000 success. Lucky numbers are 2,5,8. 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.000 Lucky colors are yellow, grey, and brown, 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.000 and finishing up, pigs are gentle and rarely lose their temper, 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.000 and even when they do, it is never dramatic commotion. 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.000 They will always try to compromise and settle things quickly. 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.000 Because their goal in life is for everyone to live in harmony, 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.000 what a nice thought, everyone living in harmony, 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000 they are suitable for careers related to charity and fundraisers, 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.000 and it also makes them great teachers and coaches. 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:32.000 So again it is a pleasure to be here, Susan and I enjoy this event every year, 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.000 and what a great turnout. We filled the house, and I know we are onto some 00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.000 great presentations and a gala that is sure to be remembered. 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.000 So thank you for being here, and thank you for coming to Western. 00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:48.000 Thank you Dr Rex Fuller for that speach. 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.000 Coming up next, 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.000 we have a very interesting program lined up for you. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:60.000 First, actually it felt really good to 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.000 watch the lion dance just now, cause I am from Singapore and we often see 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.000 the lion dance. And I have been here for two years, and that is probably the first 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.000 lion dance I have seen in the past two years. So, how did 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.000 you guys celebrate Chinese New Year in China. You mean my hometown? 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.000 Usually we have different types of food and beverages, 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.000 I mean, thats probably like everywhere in the world. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:28.000 The way to celebrate festivals. And then everyone will 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.000 sit in front of the television to watch the gala. It is like a 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:36.000 traditional thing for almost everyone to do in China, and 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:40.000 you know what the fun part is? I think its the moment when 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.000 the younger kids can get the red envelope. It is always 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.000 filled with money inside from the 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.000 parents or relatives. So I guess its kind of similar how we 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.000 celebrate in Singapore and in China. For us, we also gather as a family, 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:60.000 to kind of sit down together once a year and then have 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.000 wonderful wonderful meals and snacks. Instead of watching Chinese TV 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:08.000 we watch Media Corp TV which is the Singapore television stations. 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:12.000 So now coming up next we have a dance for you guys. 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.000 This dance is titled, Celebrate Chinese New Year, 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:20.000 by East Dream Chinese Dance Group. And it is a way of showing 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.000 how we celebrate Chinese New Year and all the customs we actually 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:28.000 have to celebrate Chinese New Year, in the form of a dance. 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.000 speaking Chinese 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.000 speaking Chinese 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.000 music 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:44.000 music 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.000 music 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.000 music 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.000 music 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:60.000 music 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.000 music 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.000 music 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.000 music 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.000 music 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.000 music 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.000 music 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.000 music 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:32.000 music 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.000 music 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.000 music 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.000 music 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.000 music 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.000 music 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.000 music 00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:60.000 music 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000 music 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.000 music 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:12.000 music 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:16.000 music 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:20.000 music 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:24.000 music 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.000 music 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.000 music 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:36.000 music 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.000 music 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.000 music 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.000 music 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.000 music 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000 music 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:60.000 music 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.000 music 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.000 music 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.000 music 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:16.000 music 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:20.000 music 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.000 music 00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:28.000 music 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:32.000 music 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.000 music 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.000 music 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.000 music 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.000 music 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.000 music 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.000 music 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:60.000 music 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.000 music 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:08.000 music 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.000 music 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:16.000 music 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:20.000 music 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:24.000 music 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:28.000 music 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:32.000 music 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:36.000 music 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:42.000 firecracker sound 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:51.000 applause 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.000 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:60.000 Well Ankit, 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.000 I am wondering what you are thinking right now. 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:08.000 I am still amazed by the performance. Its like I can smell new year 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.000 in the air! Well it must be the delicious food we have over here, 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:16.000 maybe you want more of it? Yeah, probably. Well, what about you? 00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:20.000 What are you thinking about? I am think about alot of things right now, 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.000 first of all I am thinking about the Chinese food, of course. 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:28.000 In this time of year me and my family always make dumplings together at home, 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:32.000 and a lot of good food until it covers the whole table! 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:36.000 But other than food, I am thinking about how family gathering 00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:40.000 and the traditions we do to splince together. It creates 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.000 this atmosphere which I believe is what we call, the taste of the new year. 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:48.000 And most of all I am thinking about 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.000 my motherland and my family the most. But I think 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.000 a line from an ancient chines poem can describe this feeling. 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:58.000 speaking chinese 00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:62.000 Wait I think I know that one.
