Chinese Astrology
January 22nd, 2006
although i dont really believe in them, i’ve always had this crazy fascination with things like horoscopes and astrology. when i pick up the newspaper, i always gotta check out my daily horoscope. sometimes in bookstores when i pass by the Astrology corner, i’ll just pick out a book and see what they have to say about Librans or Dragons — or if i’m seeing anyone, i’ll check out our astrological compatibility :D
on the whole, i’ve always thought i was very Libran. very Dragon too. the only thing i dont agree with is my Element — i’m an Earth Dragon, with Earth people being characters of Stability, reliability, practicality, industry, prudence. ahhaha :D if that isnt the most contradictory juxtapose ever, i dont know what is.
so anyway, my dearest aunt asked for my time and date of birth the other day just out of the blue, and when i did, she promptly emailed me a reading of my personality! here’s what it said :
A lover of the exotic, the Dragon is one of the most flamboyantly extrovert characters of the Chinese astrological calender. Elegant and with a good eye for spotting the latest trends, Dragon-types are always to the forefront fo the fashion scene, ever ready to adapt waht is a la mode to suit a very individual sense of style.
Blessed with an extraordinarily fertile imagination, the Dragon is forever dreaming up fresh schemes and ideas for new ventures, few of which are wholly practical. Such a mercurial character can be the despair of friends, and at work may even cause chaos if not surrounded by people capable of picking up the fragments of abandoned projects, albeit resentfully. Strong and decisive, resolute in a determination to follow interesting tracks which may lead nowhere, Dragons would become wealthy were it not for the fact that spectacular gains are as often as not offset by money wasted elsewhere.
The sign of the Dragon is an indication of an interest in the mysterious, the supernatural, and the occult. Dragon-types are also surrounded by an aura of good fortune whichm however, disappears immediately a Rabbit approaches.
Dragons delight in any form of adulation, and both socially and in business they tend to seek out the bright lights. They are thus ideally suited to careers on the stage, but in general any sphere where there is close contact with the public provides a rewarding domain.

i dont know, pretty accurate i think. i cant find anything in there that i disagree with. and dammit, now i know why the hell i couldnt marry a millionaire by the age of 16. CHEN SIEU THENG, this is all your fault!!!! what was i thinking, sitting beside a Rabbit for 4 years in a row?! you luck-sucker, you! i demand compensation. you’d better buy me dinner for all the years of bad luck you caused me!!!! rabbit’s foot being lucky, my … foot.
a 2nd email came in saying that i should not get hitched with partners when there’s an age gap of 6 years between us, as both signs are direct opposites in chinese astrology. therefore, the relationship will be tumultuous and we will both be one big bad clash and not have good sex. my direct opposite being the Dog, and the year 2006 being the year of the Dog, i was advised to go to a temple and offer prayers. well, i think i’ll pass, and just make do with avoiding all people born in the year of the Dog .. :D
anyhoo, my interest in astrology has been awakened, and so for the past hour i’ve been googling Astrology websites and just reading the same things over and over again. man i love this stuff. so basically they keep telling me that as a Dragon, i’m fiesty, fickle, stubborn, passionate, brave and conceited (!!). in the workplace, i am bossy and have high standards, and i do not work well in teams. very power-seeking too. financially, i’m impulsive and one helluva spender. in the love arena, i need attention all the time and i tend to dominate over my lover (yameh, i’m so docile lah).
link, link, link, link. and this one tells you your compatibility with other signs, and this tells you what your time animal is, according to your time of birth.
so, my best friends are apparently the Snake and the Rooster. RABBITS BRING ME BAD LUCK. Dogs are the enemy. and my lovers are the Rat and the Monkey! oooh. any Rats or Monkeys out there wanna get it on with lonely Dragon me? i promise i wont burn you.

‘the snake and the dragon are astrological companions’
explains why many of my close friends are dragons. not to mention the fact that i go to school wif the dragons. Lol.

see now why I said it’s a bad idea for you to have sex with me? I hope you didnt take the rejection to heart.
*Run Alvin, run!!!!*

Tiger
The Chinese say that this could be one of the worst matches possible. Still, despite the probability of a horrible outcome, the Ox and the Tiger are drawn to each other. Their temperments will most likely clash.
hahaha my gf is the ox… and i’m the tiger. wonder how true this holds.
7. triciasama | January 22nd, 2006 at 5:24 pm

*dawns upon her*

Wei ! double dragon girl, ..ya friends are all matching up the “year animal’ and getting excited for the wrong reasons..hehehe..”year animal” only tells a person’s world view..the true personality is reflected in the “time animal” so need to refer to the time..’see sun pat chee”..check out all time of birth first before anything else..but there again nowadays you young peeps are a generation of induced babies??..the meddling hands of doctors and technology so maybe the horoscope all screwed up!!! my generation is of natural birth..so dont know arr??…need to look into this..
9. smartypants@psychic wannabe | January 22nd, 2006 at 6:21 pm
Oh ya, one more thing, you dont have to avoid Derek..he is ‘rabbit year’..different world view from you but ‘horse time’ ..so perfectly safe to let him gallop along… hehehe….now the big question is how the heck to get someone’s time of birth without appearing overly ridiculous?? let me know when you have the answer.
10. pinkpau | January 22nd, 2006 at 7:32 pm
vicnan : does that match well with a libran earth dragon!? :D though i’m pretty convinced my element CANT be earth ..
steph : hey we would mix pretty well too then!
alvin : well now that i see it in words .. i guess i can finally accept reality now! siiiiigh!
bryan : that would make u .. 25 :D haha and my good friend!
passerby : ahha yeah astrology lumps everyone together .. :D but it’s all fun and games.
artificially : sometimes clash is good :) keeps things exciting.
triciasama : *holds up four leaf clovers and horseshoes
smartypants : hey i googled for ages lor, couldnt find the birthtime thing. and maybe the meddling doctors were destined to meddle so that we’d all come out at the ‘right’ time .. :D hey do u or eva have any links to astrology sites that do birthtime readings? i cant find any :( as for derek .. he bullies me, so common sense tells me to elude him anyway :D

17. kristof | January 23rd, 2006 at 11:32 pm
they really are interesting and sometimes accurate.
but when i think of my friends who are mostly the same age; hence born on the same year, it spoils the magic
18. Bryan | January 24th, 2006 at 12:43 am
No lah, you look young in some of the pics. :-)
19. pinkpau | January 24th, 2006 at 7:57 am
kristof : hahaha … i know what you mean :D
bryan : you know what, i’m beginning to like being older if it means people will tell me that i look younger!
20. Bryan | January 24th, 2006 at 8:44 pm
