PohSoon, I wish you the happiest of New Years and the same for others of our team and community celebrating the year of the Green Chicken. Your team mate and friend, "Green Chicken"??! At leat I know now why I don't like to eat chicken.  Seriously, is it the year of the "Green Chicken" or are you just pulling my ear.  I semi understand the year of the horse, pig, goat, dragon, snake (me), rooster, monkey, and I sort of put them in the same carton as Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, Scorpio (me), Aquarius. Interesting to stuff to boost your ego, if you subdue your analytical side for a moment, but no substance, nothing that helps to penetrate, lift or go around the veil of the hidden. Paws; |

Hairy --
I think it may also be known as the year of the Rooster. I found one link that mentioned the "Green Chicken". Reminds me of the year I served my Scout Troop green pancakes when we camped out on St. Patrick's Day. Every time we ate under a dyning fly after that, they accused me of doctoring the food with green food coloring -- LOL. |

Here it is... the rooster year, nemisis of the dragon year.
The rooster year is when all the better students born in the year of the dragon (a great many more students than other years, I might add) get back the peice of paper which would largely affect their lives more than any other peice of paper - the GCSE O'Level results. Oh man. Not good.  (Yes, trust it to me to scrutinize the tangent of any positively-inclined curve.) Hairy4paws, really, being born in the year of the dragon, as well as the year of the tiger, is not just superficial and supeerstition; it actually affects ones chances in life fairly greatly. Because the dragon year is an "auspicious" one, more traditional chinese couples choose to give birth on that year. Hence, for that "batch" of students of that age, competition is much, much tougher. The opposite is for the year of the tiger. Although the tiger has been voted as the world's most popular animal, it is "inauspicious", and there have been cases of mass-abandonings of babies born in that year. Conversely, they have less competition; Moderation dictates that the mark required for the best grades in major examinations be set by the general performance of the top percentages. So if there are less students, there are less people acheiving the top level, thus lowering moderation grades slightly, giving a slight benefit to borderline cases. Yeah, so, dragon sitting in here feeling uncertainly blue, not happily green. And had a chicken for lunch even. Anyway, I have to catch up with my crunching after losing almost 24 hours of both my primary workstation and secondary workstation to technical issues yesterday. Numbers beware. |
