During the past few rounds, tiger years of 1974, 1986, 1998 always hit by economic recession. But this time could be different, and we wish to be different. The worst period of 2008 downturn shall over & more promising recovery is foreseen in this year. Tiger of 2010 is roaring!! :-) Happy Chinese New Year, and also not forgetting, Happy Valentine's Day.
