Chinese New Year - often called Chinese Lunar New Year - is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. Despite its winter occurrence, in China it is known as "Spring Festival," the literal translation of the Chinese name 春节, owing to the difference between Western and traditional Chinese methods for computing the seasons. The festival begins on the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year's Eve, a day where Chinese families gather for their annual reunion dinner, is known as 除夕 or "Eve of the Passing Year." (*info extracted from Wikipedia)

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Dear Parents,
Tadika Diyana wishes all our parents and children a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Did you know?
The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". Christmas Eve, December 24, is the day before Christmas Day, a widely celebrated holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, whereas Christmas is the festival celebrating the Nativity of Jesus, the Christian belief that the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament's Messianic prophecies was born to the Virgin Mary. Although many versions abound as to the exact date of the birth of Jesus, today, whether or not the birth date of Jesus is on the 25th of December is not considered to be an important issue in mainstream Christian denominations; rather, they would say that God coming into the world, in the form of man, to atone for the sins of humanity is the primary purpose in celebrating Christmas.(*info extracted from Wikipedia)

HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY
Dear Parents,
Tadika Diyana wishes all our parents and children HAPPY MALAYSIA DAY!
Did you know?
Malaysia Day is held on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1, 1963, but was later postponed to August 31, 1963, in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka. Several issues related to the Indonesian and the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year. The postponement was also done to allow the United Nations team time to conduct referendums in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak regarding the two states participation in a new federation.
The formation of Malaysia was made possible through the introduction of the Malaysia Bill to the Malayan Parliament on July 9, 1963, and consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on August 29, 1963.
Beginning year 2010, September 16 is a federal public holiday.(*info extracted from Wikipedia)
