My Dear Forever and forever!
I wrote your name into the sky,but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name into the sand but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name into my heart and forever it will stay.

2009 is chinese cattle year
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later(Chinese calendar).
The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to “catch up” with the solar calendar the Chinese insert an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving.
