Im born in the year of Rat. Which my Mommy prefers to refer to it as Mouse.
Rat sounds ...eeks.
Cute hor!
Rat people are born under the sign of charm and aggressiveness. They are expressive and can be talkative sometimes. They like to go to parties and spend quiet times chatting with their friends. Although the Rat can be quiet sometimes, it is rare to catch a Rat sitting quietly.
Rat people usually have more acquaintances than real friends and they revere and cherish those close to them. Once you become their real friends, they will treat you as their family. Rats are self-contained and keep problems to themselves. And even though they can be talkative sometimes, they never confide in anyone.
Sometimes mean, narrow-minded and suburban in outlook, Rat people are nevertheless honest. They can always make a success of their lives as long as they manage to master their perpetual discontent and their insistence on living for the present moment.
The Rat is quick-witted. Most rats get more accomplished in 24 hours than the rest of us do in as many days. They are confident and usually have good instinct. Stubborn as they are, they prefer to live by their own rules rather others. It won't be an easy task to work with Rat people, why? Simple, because they are also 100% perfectionists.
They are very organized and talented, perhaps that is why the Rat makes a good businessman or politician. Unfortunately, as soon as the Rat earns money, he spends it. Maybe that explains why the Rat is so careful when he lends money to others. If you ever borrow money from the Rat, don't be surprised by the high-interests.
The Rat is not romantic, but he is sensual and loving. Rat people could be hard to see through at first glance, because they are also very protective, but even though they are not easy but they are worth it - ask anyone who has a Rat for a lover, parent, child or friend. They are very loyal and devoting to their families.
The Chinese astrological cycle begins with the year of the Rat; consequently those born within this category like to be first, pioneers, at the forefront of the action. Because of this, they tend to see themselves as a cut above the others. Restless and inquisitive, those born under the influence of the Rat are active, both physically and mentally, and tend to lead busy lives. Challenge is essential to them for they love the thrill of living dangerously. With clairvoyance, intuition, perspicacity and an eye for detail, Rats are formidable problem solvers, finding workable solutions to the knottiest problems. Travelling is one of their favorite pastimes.
The Rat possesses attributes ranging from charming and humorous to honest and meticulous. The Chinese say those born in these years make good and wise advisors, yet they can never decide for themselves and change direction constantly. However, Rats at times hunger for power and money, leading some to be gamblers and others to be manipulative or petty. Their greed can lead them into a destructive trap.
Rats are best known for their charm. Blessed with a sharp wit, they possess a marvelous sense of humor, which makes them stimulating and amusing company to have around. Generally extroverted, they may well be described as opportunists for they prefer to live off their wits rather than labor long and hard to earn their daily bread.
Rats should have a happy childhood and a carefree youth. However, the second part of their lives may be stormy and problematical. They may be prone to lose money in a bad business deal or their happiness in an unfortunate love affair. The third part of their lives will be comfortable, and their old age as peaceful as could be wished.
It is important to note whether the Rat was born in the summer or the winter of the year. In summer the lofts and granaries are full, but in winter the Rat will be obliged to go out and forage for food, and must watch out for the traps set along the way. In human terms, this could mean the risk of prison or an accidental death.
I share the same zodiac with my Uncle Eugene and God papa Ryan!
Mommy says its Summer now in most places in the world (other than australia) so, Im born at the right time with plenty of food to EAT!
Daddy bought 3 zodiac fluffy toy keychain for Mommy while he was in Thailand, on transit to France, representing our new little family.
This is me, the mouse.
This is Mommy, the monkey
Hrmmm, and yes. This is a cow, not my sheep Daddy.
Because he mistook it for a sheep! DUH!!!!!
Daddy got confused. But where got sheep with patches of black one!
And the unmistakable big nostrils!
SHEEP. COW. LAMB. GOAT. MUTTON.
SHEEP
The one with wool/fleece.
Mary had the baby version, LAMB . (remember "Mary had a little lamb..its fleece was white as snow?")
MUTTON is the meat of domestic sheep.
So, the lamb chop with mint sauce you eat, can actually grow wool, if you don't order them.
The one similar to Mommy, milking most of the time, except that the cow has 4 nipples.
And it produces beef and its baby is called a CALF.
GOAT
Produces the stinkiest milk in the universe. The one with the hrmmm... goatie. Baby is known as
a KID. Its meat is also commonly called mutton.
So are we eating the goat or the sheep? "
Whatever~
Gambing soup please!"
