It's The Lunar Year Again @ Year of Rabbit

This year is the Rabbit Year - the 4th of the 12 animals listed in the Chinese calendar after the rat, ox and tiger.

I was born in 1963 and a Rabbit I am - not too sure though whether I am a Metallic Rabbit or Water Rabbit and wart not - but for sure I am the adorable Rabbit. So as those who were born in 1963 including my Chinese friends ...

So to Eric Cheah, Cheah Fah Thong (wherever you are Fah Thong), Albert, Kevin, Eric Cheah and those I could not recall @ ACS Ipoh - my sincere wish "Gong Xi Fa Chai" ...

Back to the Rabbit, from my readings of so many articles on this creature:

1. Amongst others Johnny Depp is a Rabbit, so is Drew Barrymore, and the best is so is Angelina Jolie (and Brad Pitt) .... So am I !!!!

2. In "Alice Adventure in Wonderland" by Lewis Carrol, it was the white rabbit which lured Alice into the adventure via the rabbit hole. Thus the metaphor - "Down the rabbit hole" which implies the sense of adventure for people.

3. Remember the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" he has a sexy wife Jessica Rabbit

4. Rabbit is also associated with playfulness, not to mention sexual innuendos in modern world. "Playboy" has a rabbit symbol and the Playboy Bunny is to be found almost everywhere in this world [No pun is intended here yea]

5. Rabbit related phrases @ " Breeding Like Rabbits" (producing babies very quickly), "Rabbit Test" (pregnant test), " Like a rabbit caught in the headlight" (too scared to move), " Rabbit on" (talk continuously), "Pull a rabbit out of the hat" (surprising everybody) & "Bunny Boiler" (a woman who is obsessed with a man).

6. Lastly who could forget the playful, cheeky and adventurous "Bugs Bunny" - u really love to hate/adore (whichever way you may wish to judge anyway) this character!!!

A very happy Chinese New Year to all ..... & to Angelina Jolie of course!!!!
