Gung Ho Fat Choy!

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Today marks the beginning of the Year of the Rooster, the start of the year 4703 according to the Chinese calendar. "Gung Ho Fat Choy" (also pronounced "Gung Hay Fat Choy") is the greeting most often heard on this day, meaning "May prosperity be with you".

So, may prosperity be with you all in the coming year! :sunny:

I was born during a Year of the Rooster. Does this mean I get a good year?

People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are! They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people¡¦s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon.

Gung Ho Fat Choy to you all! Having been here since college, we don't celebrate much any more here. Back in Hong Kong, where I was born, most people gets a week off!

Have a Happy New Year and Ash Wednesday!

:pig: for me too. I've never paid much attention to Zodiac mumbo-jumbo (Chinese or otherwise), but the description made me :shock: :

Chinese Culture Center's Zodiac Page[/url]]"People born in the Year of the Pig are chivalrous and gallant. Whatever they do, they do with all their strength. For Boar Year people, there is no left or right and there is no retreat. They have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life, and anyone having a Boar Year friend is fortunate for they are extremely loyal. They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge. They study a great deal and are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarreling. They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out, honestly if sometimes impulsively."

Fits me pretty well. Scary, really...
