Feb 18th each year mark the Chinese New Year. The pic on the photoshoot translates to Happy New Year. 2008 is the year of the Rat. My sign lol... How fitting RAT: Born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008. You are imaginative, charming, and truly generous to the person you love. However, you have a tendency to be quick-tempered and overly critical. You are also inclined to be somewhat of an opportunist. Born under this sign, you should be happy in sales or as a writer, critic, or publicist.
