    5. I was born in the year of the rabbit. The qualities that attribute to rabbit are sometimes surprisingly true.

    11. I don't know which one I am, I'll have to find out. Or maybe I don't want to know. :)

      Another fascinating post ECL.

      PS I've just noticed the similarity between the Singapore flag and the one for Monaco. An interesting coincidence.

    13. Hmm... no cat? Haha! You know why cats are always angry with rats? Because the Rat sent the Cat to Timbuktu during the race. Thus the Cat missed it! :P

      Happy New Year!
      May the New Year brings more happiness, health & wealth for you & your family. :)

    14. I find the chinese zodiac more true then the one we use. I am a cancer and a goat (ram) my son and DIL are both Lions but in the chinese zodiac they are a tiger and an ox which also fits more.
      I don't believe in these things, but it's interesting to read about and know a bit.
      Thanks for your Christmas wishes. I had a real nice one.
