elcome to the first edition of 2016!
Wow it is already 2016. Some of us have gone back to work and Happy Working! I still remember during my maternity leave, I longed for working. Sometimes we do need to work, not just for income, but also for our mental health I guess. In February some 3-year-olds are going to start kindergarten. So will our Lilia. I am not that worried about her transiting into a school mode, she is a happy girl and likes to play with other children. I think she will be fine. Your little one will be fine too. Let's share how they grow in Kinder. Like us on Facebook and share your little one's kinder stories with us. We would love to hear them. Chinese New Year takes place on 8th February. There will be celebrations in many places. On our What's On page we will include the celebration venues that are in and around the City of Monash. It doesn't matter if you have Chinese background or not. What can be guaranteed is that all these celebrations will be full of yummy Asian street food, dragon and lion dancing, and music! What could be a better way than to take your family out for a cultural experience? Last but not least, if you are making plans for your business in 2016, we can help you with an advertising strategy. Give us a ring or send us an email. We are here to help local business grow. Congratulations to the winners of December Vouchers (Sandstorm Frankston & Lollipop’s Forest Hill): Wei Zheng; Joey Qiao and Audrey Sin
2 x $50 Bistro vouchers to give to 2 lucky winners To enter: Attend one of the Chinese New Year celebrations Take a photo and send it to us by email

猴说 中国古典神话小说《西游记》所描述的猴精孙 悟空，一个筋斗就可翻出十万八千里，还有七十 二种变化，甚至敢与天上的玉皇大帝争一高低。 孙悟空皈依佛法后，护送唐僧上西天取经，一路 上忠心耿耿，降妖除魔，是民众心目中的英雄。
聪明的猴子，也有被戏弄的时候。中国古代哲学著作 《庄子》中有这么一个故事：有个养猴子的人，拿橡子喂 猴子，他跟猴子说，早上每个猴子给三个橡子，晚上给四 个，所有的猴子听了都急了；后来他又说，早上给四个， 晚上给三个，所有的猴子就都高兴了。“朝三暮四”原比 喻聪明人善于使用手段，愚笨的人不善于辨别事情，后来 比喻反复无常。人们还爱说“树倒猢狲散”，指得是如果 大人物倒台了，依附者就会因为失去靠山而马上散伙。
猴是十二生肖里最聪明的动物，西方十二星座中的双子座与它的性格特点相似。属 猴的人机智勇敢，活泼好动，喜欢竞争，追求新鲜事物。猴年生的人求知欲很强，记忆 力惊人，能言善道，反应机敏，很容易取得他人的信任。不过，属猴的人也比较爱说大 话，有点不脚踏实地，由于生性爱玩，缺乏耐心，眼光不够长远。
动动嘴：小朋友们，读完故事，跟爸爸妈妈一起练习以下的绕口令吧，当你读熟了，还 可以跟爸爸妈妈比快呢！
猴子上山 山下猴子背竹篓 猴山山陡猴发愁 猴子发愁挠猴头 扔下竹篓满地走
