What to prepare for Chinese New Year??
Every year around this time, as the neighbourhood starts to come alive with the bakery pushing their cookies and the stalls put out all the festive decorations for sale, you can feel the buzzing activities starting. However, this year, almost everyone I spoke to say that they feel it's quite quiet. Actually I feel the same too.
Mr Kho has already prepared the 'Ang Pow' money. I will spend some time (and spend $$) next week to get some decorations to prepare the house. Also have to stock up on the cookies, tidbits, drinks, 'bak kwa'...(yum yum). Previous years, I would have ordered many boxes of 'bak kwa' to give away as my colleague will be coordinating the orders. This year, I'm still on maternity leave thus was left out. Never mind, more money saved to spend elsewhere...Hmmm...so blessing in disguise or nightmare for the wallet??
