ReplyDeleteHi East Coast Life,

ReplyDeleteI was born in the year of the rabbit. The qualities that attribute to rabbit are sometimes surprisingly true.
ReplyDelete12 zodiacs... reminds me of the family joke. My daughter 'dragon' the one soaring in the sky. My son 'snake' crawling on the ground :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Boxing Day!! :)
I am the cunning and mischievous monkey..he.he..
ReplyDeleteI'm a ram (aka sheep aka goat). And what are *you*, eastcoastlife? ;b
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice post Eastcost. An informational about zodiac signs. What is mine Cancer is my Zodiac. ...

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

ReplyDeleteYeah! I am a born leader. :p
ReplyDeleteImma rabbit! The things said are kinda accurate LOL. What about you? What's your sign then? ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm... 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
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
May the New Year brings more happiness, health & wealth for you & your family. :)

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
owh...I am rabbit! hehe...most of the descriptions are true about me though. :) but i guess everyone is unique right? hehe..
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting, so thanks for sharing! I knew from a friend of my wife who is Chinese, that I'm a Dragon :-)
ReplyDeleteBtw: Anxious to know if your coming to meet The Mayor of Oslo in August of course.
