I snapped this photo of a kid in a small town called Takamori at the Southeastern corner of the Aso caldera in Kyushu, Japan. The Chinese greetings is a pun during the Goat (on the Chinese Zodiac) years on the traditional Lunar New Year greeting “三阳开泰” – which augurs an auspicious year ahead as the sun ushers in the warm Spring from the cold Winter.

It’s customary for Chinese to give out Ang Pows during the Lunar New Year. These are red paper envelopes containing money that’s given to relatives and children.
It being the new year, you’re supposed to use crispy new notes in these red packets.

I had to go on a little round-the-island this year to exchange for new notes, because I found that – unlike some past years – the ATM machines were dispensing old notes.

Here’s an infographic by Millennial Media on mobile usage trends in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong during Chinese New Year.
Games, social, entertainment, and music and audio were the most frequently accessed types of content during this period.
The infographic shares insights into mobile traffic during this period, looks at the type of devices used and also examines the types of content accessed most often.
There was a 15 per cent rise in traffic on Chinese New Year eve between 9pm and 12am, as mobile users stayed up late to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. A 10 per cent rise is traffic was also seen between 12am and 2am on Chinese New Year’s Day.

财神爷 wishes all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous Chinese New Year! Taken with an HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 smartphone. Text added in Photoshop CS6.
I was having breakfast at the neighbourhood coffee shop last Sunday morning when I noticed the tiny figurine in the photo sitting in the middle of the table.
Afterwards, I left him where I met him – to let the next patron mull over the presence of such an esteemed dignitary in the local neighbourhood.
Since this is the Chinese New Year period, I suppose it’s Cai Shen Ye – the God of Fortune in the traditional Chinese pantheon.
Was this merely a handphone charm inadvertently left behind by another patron, or is the popular deity paying a visit to the mortal world?
At any rate, I lost no time in snapping a candid shot with my own handphone.

We were walking through this neighbourhood street mall on Chinese New Year’s Eve morning. Shops were teeming with people doing last minute shopping for the Reunion Dinner that night.
Having a sleep-in past noon on a Saturday. Right in the midst of the hullabaloo of Chinese New Year’s Eve shopping all around it. Taken with an HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 smartphone.
In the midst of all that hullabaloo, this kitty was sleeping most indulgently on the doorstep of one of these shops.
“在午时熙熙攘攘的除夕年货市场当中,这只猫咪却安详地沉睡着。完全淘迷在甜蜜的睡梦中。” – 科技点心(微薄)
Some of the shoppers tip-toed around it, while others looked like they’d have stepped right on it.
The kitty itself, however, was totally oblivious to the buzz of activities surrounding it.
An escapade too many, the night before, perhaps?
