Administrator Posted May 20, 1999 Share Posted May 20, 1999 Further to the message below, you can check out this page:-http://www.geomancy.net/love/amenu1.htmOn the subject of babies born in the Tiger year:-At the above (green coloured) gate of the former Convent of TheHoly Infant Jesus (CHIJ), manybabies were abandoned in baskets to be picked up by the Sistersof the Convent. This was theorigin of the Home for Abandoned Babies.For over 100 years, the orphanage was home to children frompoor or broken homes as well asunwanted babies. The orphanage took in many Chinese baby girlsborn in the year of the tiger - "tiger girls " because of the strong superstitious belief thatthey would bring bad luck to their families.In 1963, the Mother Superior noted that this practice wasstopped as there was a marked change inthis supersitious belief. The Home of Abandoned Babies ceasedfinally in 1983 when the CHIJConvent was relocated.If you yourself is born in the tiger year or any family members haveencountered such experience or competition in school is `extra keen' duringthe Dragon year and `less' in the Tiger year, do let us have your feedback.Warmest Regards,Cecil-----Original Message-----From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'flying-star' suppressed suppressed>Date: Thursday, May 20, 1999 2:19 PMSubject: Competition in Schools Quote From: "Cecil Lee" This message is sent from "flying-star" Mailing List.This is a multi-part message in MIME format.------=_NextPart_000_000D_01BEA2CB.8F23C720Content-Type: text/plain;charset="iso-8859-1"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printableHi Everyone,I remembered that a child born in the year of the Tiger will face less=competition in Schools because the number of children born is fewer.For example, in a school, (other things like the number of Schools =remainconstant); the number of classes are smaller i.e. there should be =lesscompetition for your child born in that year.If you have a child born e.g in years of competition e.g. The Dragon =Year,Rabbit Year (Very popular years to give birth), or a child born in =theTiger year, let us have your experience.This information is useful for Chris, Asian Wall Street Journal in an=article she is writing on.Do let us have your feedback:)Warmest Regards,Cecil Lee------=_NextPart_000_000D_01BEA2CB.8F23C720Content-Type: text/html;charset="iso-8859-1"Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printableHi Everyone,I remembered that a child born in the year of the =Tiger willface less competition in Schools because the number of children born isfewer.For example, in a school, (other things like the =number ofSchools remain constant); the number of classes are smaller i.e. there=should beless competition for your child born in that year.If you have a child born e.g in years of competition =e.g. TheDragon Year, Rabbit Year (Very popular years to give birth), or a child=born inthe Tiger year, let us have your experience.This information is useful for Chris, Asian Wall =StreetJournal in an article she is writing on.Do let us have your feedback:)Warmest Regards,Cecil Lee------=_NextPart_000_000D_01BEA2CB.8F23C720-- --> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfl49 Posted May 25, 2000 Share Posted May 25, 2000 i just read a message asking about competition in schools for anyone born in the year of the tiger, i was born on 1950, so it has been a long time since i was in school. and as far as the question of competition goes, i dont remember feeling any pressure from it, but maybe it is more because of my personality, i really didnt care. i never felt i was competing at all with anyone. but i would be interested to know what the article for the newspaper is focusing on.pam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
