Welcome the year of the RAT!

Wowwww......Red packets and CNY cards--courtesy of AmBank



SPot the RAt? :)


As usual, wrote and sent out CNY cards through snail mail. More meaningful, isn't it?

It's all about Chinese New Year now! Only exactly a week to go, shopping and preparation is almost done--only lack of a handbag right now. Aha! Have started packing some of the things i need to bring back home this coming weekend. Putting those things in a corner, i think the boots of my car will be full! Partly are my CNY stuffs, partly are unused stuffs--e.g. convo gifts, and partly are things my bro n sis-in-law need me to bring back home cos they're flying back this time round.

Mom made the 'Kuih Bakul' yesterday--the secret recipe from my 94years old grandma many years ago and it has been carried on by my mom and aunties. My Aunties actually make and sell! Good source of income as it costs around RM8 per kg. However, patience and great time are needed to ensure the finest quality of the Kuih Bakul. Well well, longing to taste my mom's Kuih Bakul... again! :D Yummy yummy~

Countdown to the day I'm going back home--5/6 days! (undecided yet)

Kindness

I always thought, we'll be treated the same way if we're nice to other people.
But now, i realise that it doesn't always work that way.
In return, our kindness will be taken advantage of!
Sigh...
It's really disheartening as time passes by... but what to do?
Just believe that i'm doing good deeds that will never hurt others.
I think,
that'll be good enough.

Chinese New Year!

~CNY 2007~

While retrieving some old pictures in my PC, saw this photo which was taken during last year's CNY. Looking at it, really can't wait to get back home to see my parents~

Well, CNY shopping for myself has been ongoing since last June and just done with it last week. It's simply because I love taking my own sweet time shopping for the nicer ones for CNY. Don't like rushing anyway. That's why i always buy and keep! Friends of mine always envy my 'perseverance' of keeping them and not wearing them anytime. Well, that's the discipline that i have in me, i'd say. Since i've got sufficient to wear, then why not just keep them for CNY? :)

About 10more days to go before leaving for my hometown. That's one of the best moments at home--to be with dad, mom, brother n sis-in-law. Counting down for CNY... counting down...
