恭喜发财！！

I bet everyone is feeling excited as Chinese New Year is just less than 5 days away from now. It's "Hello to Rat year" in no time.

I know I've said this numerous time, but i just have to say it again ----- TIME FLIES---! I remember talking about my plans and feelings for CNY just not long ago. Wow, it's that time of the year again in a blink of an eye. Hmmm... I really need a time-stopping device or better, I wish I had the power to bend time like Hiro in 'Heroes'! If that is too much to ask, then a Time-Turner [a time-travelling device] used by Hermione in Harry Potter 3 so I could be in two different places at the same time is good enough ;p

Although I won't be celebrating this joyous occasion in Kch, I did not forget to decorate my home with CNY colour - warming red. Now my home looks 喜氣洋洋 with all the CNY deco! Pamelos, mandarin oranges, Chinese sweet cakes? I have them all.

Yesterday, I even went to the wet market before work in my professional attire just to grab some pamelos and Chinese sweet cakes! haha, try to imagine a smartly and tidily dressed lady in a market full of t-shirt, make-upless aunties ;p

I can certainly feel CNY in the air. It's people mountain people sea (crowded) everywhere! I did not plan to buy much but I got influenced by those around me. Yesterday, My colleagues and I went to a wholesaler to shop for CNY tit bits after lunch. That place is full of every tit bits you can imagine! While waiting for them to shop, I stood aside munching roasted nuts they gave as samples [haiya, should have come here for lunch instead ;p hiak hiak]. I am really into nuts lately. I like nuts so much that I think I'm going nuts soon ^^ Hey, come to think of it, it isn't bad being a complete nutty person huh? I think nutty people are generally happier people ;p Okie, let's not side-track ^^ Everyone got packs of stuff and that made me 'itchy handed'. So I also bought some... for my OWN CONSUMPTION hiak hiak hiak...

I'm excited about flying off to reunite with my family [that's what CNY is all about] but at the same time, I am also pretty sad that I won't be able to go CNY visiting in Kch! Just think about the fun and yummy snacks that I'll miss! TnT A close friend knows my love for acar and crackers and has kindly and generously invited me to her house tomorrow to be her pre-CNY visitor. Yayeee... I will be able to taste homemade acar before anyone else!! *dancing around happily* I know all my other friends are nice ppl. They will definitely save me some crackers to go with the Acar, pineapple tarts, cakes and all other mouth-watering tit bits ;p Thank you guys in advance hehe....

Wishing everyone a prosperous years ahead! Gong Xi Fa Cai [& 红包拿来 ；）]!! 万事如意！
