happy chinese new year.....

badan memang rasa tidak berapa sihat hari ini...
nasib baik jugak dapat cuti 5 hari...
if not tak tahu lah apa nak jadi...
alamat tidak pergi kerja lah if gaya macam ni...

tetiba aku dikunjungi oleh anak-anak sedaraku,
bersama seorang yang ku kenali dulu,
rupa-rupanya ada udang sebalik batu,
kenalan ku menjadi bakal teman yang satu....

meriah jugaklah dengan kehadiran mereka,
gelak ketawa kami sambil bercerita,
malangnya tiada hidangan istiwewa,
hanya dengan limau mandarin yang ada...

ha ha ha....

By the way, i would like to wish all my chinese friends "a happy & prosperous Chinese New Year" and may it be the BEST CHINESE NW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE...

it's a year of the RABBIT....

What the chinese believe is that it is indeed...

"a placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year.

Good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty.

A time to watch out that we do not become too indulgent. The influence of the Rabbit tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.

Law and order will be lax; rules and regulations will not be rigidly enforced. No one seems very inclined to bother with these unpleasant realities. They are busy enjoying themselves, entertaining others or simply taking it easy. The scene is quiet and calm, even deteriorating to the point of somnolence. We will all have a tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible.

Money can be made without too much labor. Our life style will be languid and leisurely as we allow ourselves the luxuries we have always craved for. A temperate year with unhurried pace. For once, it may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances".......

SO, how's that gonna be...hopefully it turns out to be a splendid year for all of us, too....

........A person born in the year of the Rabbit possesses one of the most fortunate of the twelve animal signs. The Rabbit, or Hare as he is referred to in Chinese mythology, is the emblem of longevity and is said to derive his essence from the Moon......

......A child born in the Rabbit's year will have a sweet disposition. Even-tempered and obedient, he will be sensitive to the moods of his parents and act accordingly. He may or may not be talkative, but he won't be rowdy or offensive. He can sit quietly and concentrate on one toy or game at a time......

Unfortunately, none of my sons was born in the year of the rabbit...ha ha ha...I was born in the year of the TIGER, My husband was born in  the year of the RAT,,,,,,Along was born in the year of  the SNAKE, Angah was born in the year of the MONKEY, Achik was born in the year of the DOG, Nasrul was born in the year of the PIG, and Adik was born in the year of the OX.....so no rebbits in the family....

Whatever it is, enjoy yourself  as it is gonna be a very long weekend....when the chinese are having their gatherings, we too are having our gatherings at home....not going anywhere but spending our time quietly in the house....
