The footsteps of CNY is getting nearer. Basically just another 2 days ahead.
This year seemed a busy year. Till yesterday I have not bought much of the cookies and the new year stuff.
Today I worked the normal shift and leave early for Chinatown to catch up with the purchases. Together with me are Jane and her husband plus my 2 other cousins.
We started walking through the lanes. There are varities of stuff namely the deco, food stuff, clothings etc... Most of the stalls are selling food like melon seeds, peanuts, different new year cookies, taiwan muah chee, and a lot more.
The coming year is the year of Rat. So deco are rat related. Even the western character Mickey Mouse join in the fun too.
After about 3 hours of walking through the crowd, I have bought 5 cushion covers, 3 necklaces, a few bottles of cookies. Aching all over, finally reach home around midnight.
Well this is not all yet. Tomorrow need to buy food to preapre for the eve cos this year we will have reunion dinner ourselves instead with my brother.
The children wanted steamboat cum bbq. So have applied for half a day leave and get the stuff. Also need buy a piece of new dress for myself.
Ok getting tired. Need to go to bed now. Shall post more updates probably during the coming CNY.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
:)
