For some unknown reason *twilight zone mujik in the background*, I don't have any mood for CNY. AT ALL!!! And whaddaya know, it's only about a week away!
What do the chinese folks need to do in preparation for CNY? Let's see...spring cleaning? junk clearing? stock up on food? decor up the home? stock up jars of cookies? make junk food for entertaining guests? sew new year clothes? prepare for reunion dinner and the meals thereafter? and for those who pray, clean up the altar? WOW! That's a LOT of work there! *stress*
For me, since every year the home is left vacant for balik kampung, I don't do junk clearing, spring cleaning or decorating it up for the festive season. After the week off, the whole home would be dusty anyway! And decors for whom to see? The junks in the stores are always making me sick and hub wouldn't want to throw away ANYTHING, probably he would just shift some stuffs from location A to location B, so what's the point?
Food? Oh, there would be abundant of food when we get home, so don't bother. *grin*
Year in, year out, we'll just get some stuffs as gifts when we visit our relatives, and get new angpows and new notes. This year, we still YET to shop for even these minor stuffs! Well, there are some new year clothes, for the kids. I have a couple of them while the hub have NONE! Haha!! poor guy!
The school will be shutting down way too early before the Year30thnight's reunion dinner. And I'm wondering what the fart we go home so early for! I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING FOR PRE-CNY! *bawls*
Every year, I had been able to "sim" after our wedding. The first year had been a pregnant year, then after that, yearly I would be busy taking care of the kiddo, then pregnant again and yet again and even busier running around chasing after them. 10 years I had been excused conveniently to help with WORK! Last few years, the excuse was kids' schooling! What the heck, this year there would be no more excuses! Can someone help me quick?? Think of one for me!
In any case, even though I'm not in the mood, here's wishing you all happy chinese new year and may the year of the rabbit brings you good luck, good cheer and good fortune.
