New Year in the Chinese Calendar

Happy Chinese New year to all

I did not do much visitation this year as something unlucky happened to me on the 3rd day of Chinese New year. Since then, I have been staying home. Daddy dearest is feeding me very well. He will ask me what I want to eat for lunch the next day. Don't think I will miss Singapore food for a while. 

I love how Chinese New Year bring all the families together, even the extended families. Eating and gambling together, bickering and teasing non-stop, regardless of age. Oh, and drinking together. Best part is learning new drinking game from my cousin. She is damn good. Every new year, I will force her to teach me new game (usually it will involve using playing game). I also love Lo Lei, minus the mess of course. 

How is your Chinese New Year so far? I hope you are having a good time. =D

Back to work

3 days of Holiday is not enough in my opinion! But I love the quietness in the office. I can even hear the sound of pen dropping. Nope, I don't work in a wet market.

Chinese New Year used to be more fun. Now, is more of family bonding which is good too. Oh and feasting is a must. With all the goodies challenging my resistance to temptation (I always lose), my cousin wining our money, alcohol intake competition, time flies. We will repeat this cycle for another one or two days with the same people.

I wish there are 3 or 4 days of public holiday. But one can only wish.

Another thing i used to look forward to is the shopping before Chinese New Year. This year, I bought my 2 dresses online. Imagine my fear of meeting someone wearing the same dress! I am going to make sure I buy my clothes online earlier next year (instead of waiting for the CNY batches of clothes) or get my big butt out to shop. Why used, because for the past 2/3 years I had not give much thought about it. I used to flip magazine 2 to 3 months earlier to decide on the design/ theme I want for that year. I need to find my passion back. Yes, passion in dressing up.

Maybe I will post create a tag for My kind of Fashion and start posting them here.
