    Year of the rat, eh? I guess it's fitting with both Canadian and American federal elections happening this year.

    It's the Year of the Earth Rat. It's supposed to be a good year.

    Cool. I celebrated by eating Chinese for lunch.

    For those who are curious, the Year of the Rat is the beginning of another 12 year cycle.

    The order goes like this:

    Rat
    Ox
    Tiger
    Rabbit
    Dragon
    Snake
    Horse
    Goat
    Monkey
    Rooster
    Dog
    Pig

    There's a children's story about how that order came to be. It was a race of animals essentially.

    I was born in a Year of the Cock.

    I used to think that was lame. Then I got a little older and realized it was AWESOME.

    Happy New Year! I'm from a Year of the Dragon. I should grow a long dragon moustache. Like Pei Mei.

    But one zodiac cycle ago I got bullied by girls, got last position in class, academic and non-academic alike, and got taunted "fat" by my class mates. It was a nightmare, so I hate year of the rat.

    At least the same persons who did that to me respect me today, or suffer the worst fate than me. :D 

    Oh yeah I was borned in the year of the tiger.

    Ah but one cycle ago it was the Year of the Fire Rat. Probably not a good year. 1996/1997. My junior and senior year in highschool. Yeah it wasn't that great for me either.
