CHINESE New Year is fast approaching, and 988 is ready to enliven the festive atmosphere with its fifth Chinese New Year studio album, 988 Ular La Guo Hao Nian (988 Ular La Have A Good Year)! The album consists of four brand new songs performed by 15 deejays from 988. The album also features a bonus track – an eight-minute medley of hits from the previous years' 988 CNY albums. The four new songs are Ular La Guo Hao Nian (Ular La Have A Good Year), Zou Xiang Qian (Move Forward), Wonderful Beautiful and Ni He Wo De Xin Nian Ge (Our Chinese New Year Song).

There is also a DVD released together with the album which contains music videos of songs Ular La Guo Hao Nian and Zou Xiang Qian. The music videos can also be viewed on YouTube, or just iSnap this page.

To make things more festive, you can now get the CD and DVD of 988 Ular La Guo Hao Nian for free with every purchase made at any Eu Yan Sang outlet nationwide. This redemption promotion begins today.

Also not to be missed is the "988 Ular La mini concert tour" that kicked off a few weekends ago. Catch 988 deejays performing the songs on Eu Yan Sang's specially-modified truck, "Xin Chun Song Huan Le, Quan Cheng Lai Chang Ular La" (literally translated as Joyous New Year, Let's Ular La Happy Sing-Along).
