Happy Year of the Tiger ! Happy Valentine's Day !

Tomorrow is February 14th and this auspicious day is both the first day of the Lunar New Year, starting the Year of the Tiger, as well as Valentine's Day ...



I've been scouring the Internet for some creative or witty combination of these two festivals but haven't found anything all that interesting, so you guys will have to make do with this next picture of the lady & the tiger (to the question which is which, I'll leave you to answer ... :-).

Actually speaking of lady and tiger reminds me of an intriguing short story by Frank Stockton that I read many years ago. It was called "The Lady or the Tiger?". You can read it online at this website.

  7. Happy Lunar New Year to All ... the Year of the Tiger will definitely be auspicious.

    However not so sure about celebrating Valentine Day, which I think is over-commercialised. Sorry. just my view.

  11. Tigress!Tigress! Baring her pride,
    But why hide the great divide?
    To Anon Feb 13, she's his object of desire,
    Nothing can he do but merely with a sigh admire!
    'Cos at 50, so much potency has been lost,
    After expending it for a great common cause!

    GONG XI FATT CHAI TO ALL OF YOU, MY FRIENDS!

  12. Don't forget, a Sarawakian (Kuching fellow) was mauled to death by white tigers at the Singapore Zoo a year or 2 ago.
    And anon 12.34am, how can you be sure that:
    1. anon feb 13 is 50 and
    2. that potency is lost at 50. I am sure lots of 76ers will beg to disagree

  14. Gong Xi Fa Chai everyone!
    Let's get down to usiness ... where're the CASINOs this year?

  15. Dear Anon Feb 13 12.34am ( Toto 6/10 ), for Q1, i assume he's one of the 76ers and for Q2, only the HMs ( Home Ministers )of the 76ers can verify it.
    Incidentally, today is a very appropriate and auspicious day to prove it, being both a Valentine and CNY day. Once is good enough but must be with HM, though, hehehe...
    Somebody told me red wine is good for improving
    potency. True kah, red wine lovers?
    i got one bottle which i haven't opened yet.

  16. Tiger! Tiger! Still burning bright,
    continuing Blake’s little ditty,
    The Tiger stripes are quite a sight,
    A mark of conquest or victory.

    The Tiger tail lethal and long,
    Whipping all foes to shape,
    The Tiger gaze sharp and strong,
    Even the bravest can’t escape.

    The Tiger Year should bring us cheer,
    Indeed Fifty is but a number,
    Loss of potency? Have no fear,
    We’re strong & cool as a cucumber.

  23. Do folks still celebrate CNY like they used to in the past? We were having a discussion on this at the coffeeshop. We think sadly some of the traditional activities like visiting friends is dwindling in Kuching. What you say?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hiya, going around visiting friends is 'out of fashion' already lo, I mean this is 2010 already and not 1976 liaw.

    I remember back then we would cycled from one house to another visiting friends, and the first thing we ask for is drink, not cookies on cakes but water.
