I know it's been some time since the first day of Chinese New Year. But something has been brought to my attention. 

It seems that the media likes to make a big hoo-hah out of New Year babies. Be it in a normal calendar or the Lunar Calendar.

These babies are like instant celebrities. They got to be on TV the moment they are born.

How cool is that?

On the first day of Chinese New Year this year, there was this very first baby who got a huge hamper and cash worth more than S$6000! Plus, he/she (I forgot the gender) got to be on TV!

In case you're wondering...

I was also a Chinese New Year baby!

Hahahahaha.

That's what my mum told me so.

I was born on the first day of Chinese New Year in the year of 1988. At the same time, I was a 'dragon' baby.

From what my mum told me, I also got a very huge hamper which had all the baby stuffs, and a cash of a few hundreds. Plus, a few kisses from some strangers.

In the 80's, I believe a few hundreds were considered a lot, right?

I don't know.

I asked her if I got to be on TV the moment I was bornt. Unfortunately, I wasn't.

Well...

At least I know I was worth something as a baby. And people loved me.

I mean... Why would they kiss me if they didn't love me, right?

So...

That goes to show that...

I WAS A POPULAR BABY!
