Chinese New Year

I know I might be pushing my luck - but anyone any ideas how to write "Happy New Year" in chinese?
I have a friend at uni who is chinese, she is not going home for xmas so thought it might be a nice touch to write it on her card.
Only problem is I dont speak chinese!! I know its something like "Kung hay fa choy" but I also doubt thats even close to the spelling!!!
If anyone knows where I can look on the net/ if anyone knows how to write it - I would be very grateful - I have had a search for it on google, but only got sites about chinese new year festivals, google translator just translated it to "?????????"
helpful!!
Come on chinese speaking money savers - Im sure someone must know!! :money: :money: :money: :money: :money:

Hiya jamtart,
i found a site that you could copy the characters from,
http://www.wingleehong.co.uk/fest/kungheyfatchoy.html
Sorry,i only know how to copy and paste,Also, you can say, "sun leen fai lok", which means "happy new year", kung hey fat choi is just another way of saying "wishing you prosperity etc"
HTH
