Chinese New Year!

So, it's Chinese New Year's Eve!  A new year has never really begun until Of course, since the readers of this blog may or may not have seen me, and thus may or may not be completely unaware of my ethnic background.  Though ordinarily, in honour of Mr Yeo and the secrecy surrounding his own ethnicity, I would keep this in the dark (Did I say dark?  How racist.), the occasion demands this revelation.  Yes sir, I am an ABC.  I love KFC, with a side of SPC.  I play on PS3's.  I bank with ANZ and insure stuff with NIB.  Sure, I don't mind AFL, but support NRL - no betting with TAB however.  Love UFC - especially playing on PS3.  Yes, I am certainly an ABC.  QED.

Anyway, in welcoming in the new year as the Year of the Rabbit, I thought I'd point out some key reasons why rabbits are awesome.

1. 'Rabbit' is a cool word.  Say 'rabbit' 20 times and you start to say 'ribbit'.  And we know that frogs are awesome, as proven by Jiraiya and Naruto.  Clearly a cool word.
2. Rabbits are cute and furry.  Exhibit A:

3. Rabbits are smart, as shown by Bugs Bunny (its a rabbit, not a hare.  I asked him personally).  Seriously, aside from his mad evasion skills, that guy can make a mean speech.
4. Rabbits taught Chi specialised travelling skills: Scurrying, jumping, pouncing, and most importantly, hopping (which, in turn gave birth to many derivatives like hopscotch, hip hop, Hopawarty).
5. Rabbits are celebrated in popular media - Alice in Wonderland and The Matrix.
6. Rabbits have mad reproduction skills.
7. Rabbits are clean creatures: Not only do they groom themselves, but did you know that rabbits cannot vomit?  Also, Bugs Bunny pays close attention to his personal hygiene.
8. Even if you don't like rabbits, you could kill them if you must.  Then you can eat them - Yum!  Even in death, they are selfless creatures.

I'll leave it at that: Eight's a lucky number, right?  Even though its 2 times 4.  

Hope everyone has a Happy Chinese New Year!
