Happy Chinese New Year 2016!!

All of us at SMB Bearings Ltd wish our friends & colleagues in China a very Happy New Year 2016! The Chinese zodiac is divided into 12 blocks (or houses) just like its western counterpart, but with the major difference being that each house has a time-length of one year instead of one month. This year it's the Year of the Monkey, the ninth animal in the cycle (the next Year of the Monkey will be in 2028). The personality of the Monkey People born in the Year of the Monkey are characterised as lively, quick-witted, curious, innovative and mischievous, but it is also believed to be one of the most unlucky years in the Chinese calendar. The general image of people in this zodiac sign is of always being smart, clever and intelligent, especially in their career and wealth. In addition, their gentleness and honesty bring them an everlasting love life. Strengths: sociable, innovative, enthusiastic, self-assured Characteristics: Quick-witted, charming, lucky, adaptable, bright, versatile, lively, smart. A wishing tree - hanging your hopes for the coming year on a Wishing Tree will encourage your dreams to come true.
