I didn’t celebrate!

I had such a bad week or so that I totally forgot about Chinese new year. Happy new years to 1/9 of the population of the world! It’s the year of the pig or boar. So for me being a Wikipedia junkie I was reading up on Chinese horoscopes. I am born in the year of the monkey. Yah I am a monkey.. boo.. but monkey is my favourite animal! I used to be obsessed with monkeys. Actually I got monkey plush toys all over my room. I also have cats, frogs, and bears. You can tell I am such a baby who loves animals. Anyways.. this is my favourite Monkey. My purple monkey. My room is purplish too. My favourite colour is purple. So look at this:

I was looking at him today as I do every day.. but today I decided to put a battery in him so he can dance and do monkey sounds. His mouth has this sensor thing. Hehehe.

So I think Chinese astrology is more fun to read. Some how I like the animal / nature association. I love Western zodiac too, but Chinese intrigues me more.

so this is the description of Monkeys!

• 16 February 1980 – 4 February 1981: Metal Monkey

The Monkey is the most versatile sign of the Chinese zodiac. Such people are often inventors, plotters, entertainers and the creative geniuses behind anything ingenious, including mischief. They have natural quick-wittedness which enables them to understand what is happening and then make a right decision. Even during a conversation a person born in this year is aware of what is going on around him/her, and then makes a mental note of who said what and stores it away for future reference. In general, with their agile minds and multiple talents, monkey type of people can master any subject. They are reliable and honest people so that any secret is safe in their hands. These people are also honest in their dealings. Monkey people are very good at problem-solving. Monkeys know how to listen closely and work out solutions at the same time.

Although these people are trustworthy and unlikely to hurt someone out of spite, they would never let people escape if they have behaved badly or damaged a monkey’s reputation. Their stamina and determination to achieve their main goals can make these people appear vain or manipulative. It means that people born under this sign should be careful so they do not damage their friendships. It is important to remember for these persons that it would be wiser sometimes not to pursue their goals and simply let things pass.

Monkeys have flexible principles and serene self-confidence so they are completely content; but they usually manage to complicate the lives of others. After yet another plan or project has gone wrong, they are seldom there to help clean up the disorder and confusion that they leave in their wake. Monkeys can handle that too; with their charm and persuasiveness they can make people believe that just knowing them is a privilege.

You know after reading this and reading Capricorn characteristis I am totally freaked out on how similar both are and how much it reflects me!! It is ME!
