Today is the last day (15th) of Chinese New Year! It has been a very busy CNY for me since last month. I only started to clean my messy house on the 30/01/2008. Cleaning is not a fun job. So, whoever has a maid at home, please treat them nicely or else you won't have a cleaned and well kept house to stayed after a hard day work at outside!
CNY is all about reunion and gathering and it is the time to meet up relatives which we only see once a year. So, hows your New Year celebration?
1. 30th night (LIN 30 NIGHT - Chinese New Year Eve)
- We are having an early reunion lunch at my in-law's house. As usual, mother-in-law will do all the cooking and the washing was passed over to the daughter-in-law. As for me, I don't need to do the washing cos I am looking after Xuan (my excuse for not washing).
2. 1st day of CNY
- As usual, we visitin mother-in-law early in the morning and had our fried meehoon and read bean "tong sui" as breakfast there. Later, we headed to my hubby's auntie house at Petaling Jaya.
- In the late evening, meeting with Agnes's family and Chin's family at Jaya Jusco, Bukit Tinggi, Klang.
3. 2nd day of CNY
- Visiting my mother and had my lunch and dinner there. My eldest sister does all the cooking. I really enjoyed all the delicious foods my sister cooked. I can eat 2 bowls of rice with one dish which is SOUP! Hehehe...
4. 3rd day of CNY
- Stayed at home due to Xuan are very "lau gai" caused of coughing and not enough sleep.
5. 4th day of CNY
- We had our dinner together with my colleagues at stall. During CNY the foods are damn expensive.
6. 5th day of CNY - Visiting my granny and brother and had our lunch together at at restaurant in Rawang. The foods are not so good. After lunch, we headed to my brother's house in Batu Arang. This year I got a "ang pow" from my brother which I considered quite big! Hahaha!
7. 6th day of CNY
- I have to start work on this day no doubts there are peoples saying that this is not a good day to start work and since my boss are not supersitious, we just followed. So Xuan, has to be sent to babysitter and he doesn't seems to co-operate due to one whole with us.
8. 7th day of CNY
- Today is the Eve of Valentine's Day, my hubby decided to celebrate it at our favourite restaurant, THE SHIP in Jalan Bukit Bintang without bringing Xuan along.
9. 8th day of CNY
- Go to market as early as possible to buy "kueh", joss stick, roast pork for tonight praying for "TIN GONG" and of course not to forget the "TIN GONG" house as well. I used to pray "TIN GONG" in a very simple way and due to last year I striked a number (consolation prize = RM200) stated on the "TIN GONG" house. So this year I prayed together with a slice of roast pork. I had fullfilled my promise to "TIN GONG".
10. 9th day of CNY - Hubby started to work today. After office hour, as usual I will go "pasar malam" for buying my dinner. Due to "TIN GONG" celebration yesterday night, most of the stall are not fully operating.
11. 10th day of CNY
- As usual, Saturday is a very lazy day to work and not much worked can be done. Everyone is on weekend mood. I need to struggle to 01:00pm and fetch my little darling.
12. 11th day of CNY
- We are having an early "CHAP GOH MEI" dinner at mother-in-law's house due to everyone in the family are working on the actual day. (It makes me so angry cos I am supposed to have a get together CNY lunch with Chin and Ling).
13. 12th - 14th day of CNY
- Just counting how many days left for of CNY.
14. 15th day of CNY
- Today is the last day of CNY. Time flies really fast and is time for me to help Xuan to open all his "ang pow" and save it into his piggy bank. Year of RAT really brings fortune to Xuan cos he has collected quite a huge sum compared to last year. Hahaha... And as for me, I need to think of a way to dispose all the left over biscuits, peanuts and crackers.
