In Asia, this is the Year of the Dog according to the Chinese zoological fortune calendar, and those of you who were born in 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946, 1934, 1922, 1910, 1898, 1886...this is YOUR year!! So, let's celebrate!:cheers1:

May this year bring you all happiness and health,
Good fortune and prosperity,
May we be able to see Peace settle in all corners of the world.

I think it's funny, this morning I heard in the radio that new zealand already is in 2006 quite strange somehow....... At the moment, it's 19:44 or quater to 7pm as you would say..... I always forgett!

So, happy new year to everyone wherever you live!

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
And here's a hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

----------------------------------

AULD LANG SYNE
Words adapated from a traditional song
by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

Meanings:
auld lang syne - times gone by
be - pay for
braes - hills
braid - broad
burn - stream
dine - dinner time
fiere - friend
fit - foot
gowans - daisies
guid-willie waught - goodwill drink
monie - many
morning sun - noon
paidl't - paddled
pint-stowp - pint tankard
pou'd - pulled
twa - two

Happy indeed.

My house flooded, my car is about to puke its guts, my bills are ready to swallow me alive...

And after a night of dinner, a movie and dancing, my lady friend turned into a genuine girlfriend at the stroke of midnight. Something about countdowns to the New Year that make people do romantic things...considering that, I don't even care about all that other stuff!
