I think this CNY SMS message is quite cute and would like to share it with you. It consists of 12 auspicious wishes, each of them starting with a character of a Chinese zodiac animal. Some of the wishes very cleverly play on the similar sounds of different Chinese characters:
给您送上祝福。 原您鼠年开始 - Here's wishing you, starting from the Year of the Rat
鼠钱不完！ Count (~rat) money to no end!
牛那样壮！ As strong as a cow!
虎虎生威！ As powerful as a tiger!
兔气扬眉！ Success in everything that you do!
龙马精神！ Health!
蛇得消费！ Willing (~snake) to spend money!
马到功成！ All your endeavours meet with success!
羊洋得意！ Live in joy and happiness!
猴会有期！ We will meet later (~monkey)!
鸡不可失！ Catch every opportunity (~rooster)!
狗用就算！ Sufficient (~dog) to spend is enough!
猪你发财！ Wish (~pig) you wealth!

Which wan is Horse?? Sori i buta huruf, dunno how to read Chainis word.
Victor-thanks for your additional auspicious wishes.
Heee heee...this is funny! I like it!
Happy CNY to you and your family!
Kopi Soh - It's the 7th one, 马到功成. The first character 马 is a simplified "horse". The complicated "horse" is 馬. Which one is you? Haha. The character can be a surname too.
Stanley - You're welcome. Thanks for your comments.
Tigerfish - Glad you like it. Happy CNY to you and your family too. Taiwan must have celebrated CNY with full vigour, am I right? Any firecrackers allowed there?
The complicated one of course, if oni i were the simplified wan, sigh.......
