Bats

here's something you may not know - bats are considered lucky animals. yeah.. those animals that fly around at night. in mandarin, they are called "bian3 fu2" and the word "fu2" sounds like prosperity in mandarin.

we found some o f them hanging from our house on sunday. not 1, not 2 but 5. just the right number. know why?

because it means "五富临门" !!(directly translated as "5 prosperity come"). This year's going to be a 'huat huat' year ah!
