2008-THE YEAR OF THE RAT

2008...I'm sure we are all looking forward for a peaceful year ahead.

2008 is supposed to be the year of the Rat according to Chinese Calendar...and that too 'Earth rat'. First in the cycle,the Rat Years begin the sequence and recur every twelfth year.The Rat Sign is characterised by one of the five Chinese elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth overlaying a 5-year cycle of characteristics on the original 12-year cycle....and hence 'Earth rat'.

A Rat Year is a time of hard work, activity, and renewal. It is said this is a good year to begin a new job, get married, launch a product or make a fresh start.

And, according to the Chinese,the Rat is respected and considered a courageous, enterprising person.
Now,thats something interesting.

Do we smell a rat here?
