Becareful if you are a monkey in the year of Monkey... all things might have a chance to go against you, but since New Year is coming, I'm suppose to say good things.
Wish you the best fortune and luck.
oops, I thought you meant you were 56 years old. But I just realized what you meant was that you were born in 1956.Originally posted by Mr. Robin Parsons
Why is it difficult to divide 48 by twelve? ("Soon to come... at an MRP near you..." HUH? FOURTY EIGHT!)
Kung Hei Fat Choy!

As of Wednesday, 21st of January 2004, 11.57pm, I've earned $144 currently and about 1/4 there to an iPod.
11:57 pm on the 21st of January? And I thought you were from Europe (which is several timezones behind Asia). Or are you visiting Asia at the moment?
Your message was posted at 10:58 pm my time. You must be in Japan/NZ/Australia, but you cannot be in Europe.
EDIT: I don't mean any offense by the postings. I am just curious.

Kung Hei Fat Choy Ya'all.
"Gong Xi Fa Cai" is a common Chinese New Year greeting that translates to "wishing you great happiness and prosperity". It is used to wish someone good luck and blessings for the upcoming year.
Chinese New Year is based on the lunar calendar and typically falls between late January to mid-February. In 2021, it will be celebrated on February 12th.
Chinese New Year celebrations typically last for 15 days, with the most important celebrations taking place on the first three days. However, some festivities can continue for up to a month.
Some traditional ways to celebrate Chinese New Year include decorating the house with red lanterns and couplets, giving red envelopes with money inside, eating traditional foods like dumplings and fish, and setting off firecrackers.
Each year in the Chinese zodiac cycle is represented by one of twelve animals. The animal for the current year is believed to have an influence on people's personalities and fortunes. 2021 is the Year of the Ox, symbolizing hard work, determination, and honesty.
