Why 'Little Piggy'?

According to the Chinese Zodiac calendar, this is the year of Pig (or Boar). Therefore, babies who are born this year will be born in the year of Pig.

It was one evening when I was having dinner at my in-laws house, an Uncle told us that this year is a good year to give birth to a child, because this year is not only the year of Pig, it's the year of Golden Pig!

For a moment, I was so thrilled and excited because I thought my baby is now 'extra' special now! Wo-hoo!

So, when I decided to blog about this pregnancy, I immediately grabbed the domain name of "GoldenLittlePiggy.Blogspot.com".

Little did I know, this is a just a marketing hoax! I did some research and it turns out that the next true year of Golden Pig is actually in year 2031.

Although this year is not really the year of 'golden' piggy. But it is still the year of pig, and I'm sure that this baby will be 'golden' in our eyes! Not to mention that it will also cost us lots of gold! Anyway, I can't wait to meet my golden little piggy.
