Happy Chinese New Year!

Hi squeaky people! I'm really really sorry I haven't updated this section for so long. I've been away on trips, business in nature and been busier than ever! My apologies (somehow, I've been apologising everytime I make an entry cos the duration in between entries are always so far apart).

To all my Chinese friends out there, Gong Xi Gong Xi! Happy Chinese New Year! It's the year of the rat, and I've lived 2 cycles in the Chinese Zodiac. I think that if it were called the year of the mouse, it won't be so 'lively', as mice are generally more timid compared to rats. I mean, the rodents you see in the backstreets of Uptown D'sara are really rats, not mice. These rats have bristled hair and segmented looking tails, really grotesque! I would consider petting a mouse, but maybe not a rat because of the impression I have of them. You watch those 80's cartoons and you'll see rats portrayed as mean and nasty rodents!

I have seen several documentaries however, and this guy travels to India and adopts a rat as a pet. He travels with it in his car, makes a special seat for it, and let's it eat from his mouth! The rats huge, I must say.

Either way, I wish you prosperity beyond your own comprehension this year of the rat. Just make sure you prosper financially, spiritually, and physically fit...

No, not this 'physical prosperity at the behind'!
