HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
February 7, 2008 by dr. lam
Okay, for you avid readers of my plastic surgery blogs, you can stop reading here. Â This is a fun little entry to tell you guys Happy Chinese New Year (and nothing about plastic surgery)! Â It is officially the Year of the Rat. Â If you are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, etc. years old this year, it is your year. Â Here’s more about your year if you are a rat: Â ”You are imaginative, charming, and work hard to achieve your goals and are likely to be a driving perfectionist. Â Although sometimes thrifty, you can be extremely generous with the one you love. Â You are compatible with dragons, monkeys, & oxen but should avoid horses.” Â Some well known rats include Marlon Brando, William Shakespeare, Truman Capote, Gene Kelly & George Washington. Â My mom cooked a special Chinese new year banquet for my staff and all the staff of our building today. Â (I will be uploading images from that party to the Staff Events and Retreats page later today.) Â We had NEEN-GO which is a type of rice patty because the word sounds like “year higher” to indicate that this would be a prosperous year. Â We also had egg rolls, which look like gold bricks, so that indicates prosperity. Â So Happy New Year, Everyone!
