Year of the Rooster

I have been away for two years. Preoccupation with my work and other things must have stopped me from blogging for so long. Now, I hope to engage in my passion - blogging again.

Two days more and the Chinese will be celebrating Xin Nian or Chinese New Year. This year it will be the Year of the Rooster.

You see, the Chinese will assign one animal out of 12 for each year and the cycle will start again. The animals in order are Rat, Cow, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. As last year was the Year of the Monkey, hence this year it will be the Year of the Rooster according to the order mentioned.

It seems it will be a good year for me who was born in the Year of the Cow. Those who were born in the Year of the Monkey and in the Year of the Dragon will be a good year too. I hope to be happy, healthy and have enough money to spend.

I take this opportunity to wish all Chinese over the world, a very happy and prosperous Xin Nian.
