1. How come the New Year started already in Singapore?

I am a Tiger and my dog is a Sheep (born 2003). I am supposed to avoid the Monkey. A "dog" is loyal, hard working and generous but can be stubborn. They were born in 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, and 1994.... They get along with the Horse or Tiger but should avoid Dragons.

I always gave out red envelopes with two pennies (even numbers are lucky) to my first grade students. We always celebrated it for an entire week.

Feb. is full of holidays...Groundhog Day, Black History Month, Presidents' Day, Valentine's Day, Carnival and Chinese New Year (and sometimes Leap Day).

2. It's a just a technicality

According to the Chinese Calendar:

The new moon for the Lunar New Year begins exactly at 05:06 on 16-Feb-18 in China's time zone.

The first day of the Brown Dog is not the Chinese New Year in Chinese Astrology

2018 Chinese Brown Dog starts on February 4, 2018

Happy Chinese New Year to you and Yours
