Kung Hei Fat Choi! - Which Chinese Animal Are You?
 

Kung Hei Fat Choi - Happy Chinese New Year!!!

It's half-past midnight here. So you guys should be following soon (we're +8 GMT).

Anyway, happy new year (again) everyone! It's officially the year of the pig/boar now. Hope you guys bought your little piggy figurines for good luck.

i think i was born in the year of the pig ... :o :shock: :lol:

If your age is accurate, and you're 19, then no mate, sorry. :)

Here are the corresponding chinese animals and their years:

Pig - 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007

Rat - +1 to each year above (so 1924, 1936, etc.)

Ox +2 - 1925...

Tiger +3 - 1926...

Rabbit +4 - 1927...

Dragon +5 - 1928...

Snake +6 - 1929...

Horse + 7 - 1930...

Sheep + 8 - 1931...

Monkey + 9 - 1932...

Rooster + 10 - 1933...

Dog + 11 - 1934...


Another way to count is to start from your birthyear (i.e. 1981, mine), and count back 12 years repeatedly until you get one that matches the numbers I posted above.

1981 - (12x4=48) = 1933 - year of the rooster

I was born in the year of the dragon. 8)

Me too 8)

Year of the rat, myself.

(monkey if the pic doesn't show up or if you suck at identifying animals)

The meanings behind the animals:

Pig - these people are fascinated with the arts. Though unlike others with the same inclination, they are the type who'd rather opt to work behind the scenes.

Rat - typically aggressive and intelligent. With their dynamism, quick thinking, and love for fast-paced work environments, it's as if the brokerage business were created just for them.

Ox - noted for their incredible tenacity. It doesn't matter if they get bruised and wounded trying to aim for a spot as long as they get there.

Tiger - natural born rebels. They are powerful, idealistic, and innately disobedient.

Rabbit - multitaskers. They are overachievers, juggling a handful and still end up with spotless work. Typically ambitious, intelligent, talented, and artistic.

Dragon - capable of tremendous achievements - if they know how to tap their inner strengths.

Snake - primetime communicators. Cleverly perceptive, and the best ones can slither their way out of a deep bind.

Horse - people that crave for freedom. Extremely independent, thrill-seekers, and highly determined to get the job done.

Sheep - passionate about aesthetics, people of the lamb are deeply enamored with all things pretty and beautiful, possessing a highly developed eye and a definitive taste for fashion.

Monkey - primates of the zodiac pick up what's happening faster than most people can recognize it. Even during a conversation, a person born in these years usually make mental notes and store them away for future reference. Monkeys can master complex subjects without breaking a sweat.

Rooster - it takes more than a strong will and an iron fist to run a company. Like a game of chess, it takes a lot of logical polotting, resiliency, and guts to steer any business to a sensible, winning direction. Roosters, the thinkers and doers of the zodiac, possess all these traits.

Dog - Selfless, intelligent, and sensitive, Dogs take friendship to a higher level. They're loyal, honest, and caring the way other power-hungy politicians aren't. Lean on them, they won't be a disgrace.

I am a pig :D

^^you sure are...

I was born in the year of the rabbit, which means im an overachieving multitasking spotless-work delivering intelligent, ambitious, talented and creative person. The only thing that's wrong about that is the creative part :D and im not sure about the multitasking either...

But i compared the description for 1 of my best friends (tiger), and it's about as far off as it can be :P [edit] and i think dog would fit me better...

^^ the rabbit suits you more than the dog.

lol why's that?

I like rabbits, taste's damn good, so that would imply that I like you too :oops: :wink:

LOL :lol: i'd rather not be eaten by a belgian :P although i do believe you guys can cook a properly good rabbit... in beer :D

oi happy new year to you too.,
