Happy Chinese New Year!

In honor of this festive event, I am sending my LJ friends virtual red envelopes (read: no money -_-) with my warmest New Year wishes:

[Bad username or site: akaisakura / @ livejournal.com]: All the best in your job search! May all your kids turn into angels and geniuses of English proficiency ^_^ 身體健康! 出入平安!

[Bad username or site: blackletter / @ livejournal.com]: *sends you inspiration for your thesis* and caffeine and/or liquor and/or Mountain Dew and/or beverage of your choice. 心想事成 (may you get what you wish for)!

[Bad username or site: ee970 / @ livejournal.com]: Don't die of exhaustion Have a great time working at Square! 新年快樂!

[Bad username or site: lesameschelle / @ livejournal.com]: Your novel's been really enticing so far...I hope you'll get it published once you're done writing/revising! New joys and blessings every day --> 萬象更新!

[Bad username or site: lynkemma / @ livejournal.com]: *confers energy for your, quote, rather busy RL* Don't know how to wish sudden riches upon you in Norse, so here's the Chinese equivalent --> 恭喜發財!

[Bad username or site: nenyaentwhistle / @ livejournal.com]: lol, I'm gonna dream big—may you win your school's writing contest (or better yet, make it *both* contests)! Blessings upon your muse, and... 步步高升!

[Bad username or site: polykleitos / @ livejournal.com]: May you get into the university of your choice! 學業進步!

[Bad username or site: sra_black / @ livejournal.com]: *points you to sources of unlimited energy and brain power* 年年有餘 (may your resource(s) overflow...extend that to grades and driving skills and anything relevant)!

[Bad username or site: sunnydlita / @ livejournal.com]: Have a blast at SI! May you receive full benefit package at your job in the near future. 事業有成!

[Bad username or site: tanechigai / @ livejournal.com]: May the inner artist in you blossom! May A-ko be popular in Apt. 6K! May human resource managers look upon you with favor everywhere! 應有盡有!

[Bad username or site: zerbie / @ livejournal.com]: May you reach your goal of 50 books and gain much wisdom in the process! May your muse be hyper-productive always! A journalist greeting to you: 文思猛進 (may you have a flood of writing ideas)!

[Bad username or site: ziasudra / @ livejournal.com]: hmm...what do I want? Simply: 生活愉快 (happy living)—in the most joyous sense of joy.

LOl, thank you ;) You're a sweet, really. I hope you get that 生活愉快 thing. Life would be a blast if we all got our wishes.

Thanks, I hope so too :)

*beams*

Thank you! That's very sweet and much appreciated. Sudden riches would certainly come in useful at the moment :-)

And a very happy new year to you, too. Hope the thesis and your life generally will behave in just the way you want it to...

*beams back at you*

If only I can substitute fics for thesis writing...

[akaisakura.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D I hope they will too... though I don't think that will be because of me... -_-;; I hope you get your happy living :D *hug*

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

*hugs you back* ^_^

Kids absorb things like sponges, so I'm sure by sheer osmosis they will at least learn something by the end of the year. I sure hope mine will :p

Happy living to all!

Thanks a lot, that's really sweet. :) Good luck to you in this year!! :D

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

You're welcome ^_^

I await the day when I can point to a translated version of a game/manual/whatever and say, "Hey, I know the translator!"

In the meantime...enjoy your new microwave!

Thanks ;-) Though I'm not sure of all the chinese you typed in. I can read minimally.

[ziasudra.livejournal.com]

You're welcome *g*

The Chinese phrases are courtesy of Chinese New Year websites, and of the wonderful function called cut & paste. Otherwise, I'm horrible at typing Chinese. I don't do it the right way—I use the phonetic option instead of piecing words together by strokes. And I sometimes choose the wrong character because so many Chinese words sound the same :(
