Since the start of the Ox year, I haven't been talking to my 亲爱的, and the reason is quite obvious, I can hardly find time to call her. We exchanged a few SMSes, and that is all. On the other hand, she's very occupied with her mahjong games, so she doesn't really miss me. She has been playing mahjong with her khakis every evening till late nite, and I suspect that this will continue for the next few days, since everyone is in a holiday mood. Ox year could be good for rabbits as my 亲爱的 is born in the year of rabbit, and she has not lost a single game since she started her mahjong adventure. In fact, she has probably accumulated more than RMB600 of winnings. We already have plans for this money. The last time we didn't manage to date in Hard Rock Cafe, so she has agreed to give me a treat in Hard Rock during my next trip to see her.
Regarding Chinese Zodiac, a master once told me that rooster and rabbit don't get along well. He said "These opposites do not attract. The rooster is a hypercritical snob. The rabbit is much too sensitive for the rooster. The rabbit is a steady methodical worker; while the rooster works in fits and spurts indulging too often for the rabbit's liking. To find true happiness together will be hard work, and it may be easier to find love elsewhere. YOu do not have fate's blessing. You are exactly lunar opposites, and that will likely spell disaster. Your desired girl should be a snake or ox". Well, the master may be true in some ways, because the path ahead of us is defintely a very tough one, especially when we are so so much in love.
