THE YEAR OF THE TIGER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

SIM ICC WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL A VERY HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Since we live in a country that houses a variety of religions and races, it will be nice to know more about them. So i came across this article while reading up a little about Chinese New Year. Thus, i thought it wll be great to share with you all the following :

Chinese have a unique way of representing the New Year through animals. They have 12 different animals to represent each year of the 12 year -cycle and the order remains the same throughout with the year of the rat beginning the cycle and the year of the boar/ pig ending the same.

Chinese New Year of Tiger, 2010 fell on the 14th of February and will mark the 15 day long festivities beginning on the said date.

As the different years of the 12 year cycle are characterized by different animals, people born on the different years also feature different traits and characters and most often then not, they are believed to be influenced and inspired by the animals of the particular year they are born in.

Tiger symbolizes courage, power, earth, victory, passion and royalty. The Tiger years so far have been 1902, 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998 and now 2010 followed by 2022 (according to the 12 year cycle).

Traits of people born in the Chinese New Year of Tiger 2010 : Adventurous, sensitive, emotional, and risk-taking. Those who are born in the Year of the Tiger are smart, uncomplicated and friendly by nature. They have strong will power and never give-up attitude.

Few negative traits : short-tempered and suspicious are generally associated with people born in this year.
