Not sure which animal sign you were born in? No worries, Wikipedia has the Chinese calendar that goes back to 1925. Check it out, you won't be guessing again especially if you were born in January or February.

hmmm, luckily my animal sign is not mentioned anywhere, so any day from the above would be good for me.. but i also see there are a lot of XXXX Day which kind of confused me, i guess 14-2-2014 正月十五日 Fri 满日 Perfect Day would be the best of all?? but that one too much lah, haha~~
ReplyDeleteI too was confused the first time I saw these dates. I wonder if anyone would only start work on Chap Goh Meh - that's stretching it a little too much, eh?
DeleteWow, good for you that you can start work any day.
How come so many options for start work day?
ReplyDeleteMine is option 1...
Option 1 is the most favourable one I suppose. Good thinking to pick that one. However, Foong in comment below has a Joey Yap suggestion. But then again as employees, we do not always have a choice, do we? We just do our best and hope for the best. :D
DeleteAccording to Joey Yap, the best date is on the 4th February. I will try to start work on that day if only for just 10 mins. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOoh! 5th day, eh? Thanks for sharing this, Foong. Yep, 10 mins is just what it needs - I guess it counts for everything one considers work, blogging included, eh?
