Next week is Chinese New Year and Singapore is gearing up for some serious celebrations.  Don't get me wrong,  every Chinese New Year is a big deal but the year of the dragon is extra special as it is considered the most auspicious of all the zodiac signs.  Everyone wants to be a dragon!

Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the mightiest of the signs. Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful. They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take 
risks. They’re passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion.








Unfortunately not all of us are so lucky to be born in the year of the dragon and are stuck being Rats and Roosters! 







Thankfully we found a way to negate the not so fortuitous year for the Rat... sounding the lucky gong at the prosperity pond! 


 Its simple really just take a coin and throw it at the gong - the louder the gong the more good luck you have coming your way.
After some deliberate coercion and a serious heart to heart about his prospects in 2012 without sounding  the lucky gong, Kingsley reluctantly stepped up.   No exaggeration, it was likely the loudest gong sound ever made at the prosperity pond.  I think we are all set for the year of the dragon!
