I’ve bought a large pack of mushrooms, red dates, wolfberries, dried oysters, Lily bulbs, gingko nuts, lotus seeds, variety of lup-cheong & dried scallops. I’m not in a hurry to get the sweets as yet, but got a pkt of pistachios & seaweeds.
Come CNY, I will spend quite a bit buying dried mushrooms, dried scallops etc. I need space for them
Hope I can settle CNY goodies by month-end. This year, reunion dinner at my place & I’ll activate the younger generation to prepare majority of food. Hv to start passing on the baton. -

Me loh.
The youngsters are into thrifting and supposed vintage stuff. So in Jpn we added visiting 2nd hand or thrift stores into our itinerary. At the end of the day I still cannot bring myself to get any of those 2nd hand stuff even though the prices were very attractive and the items are still in good condition.
Likewise, I will not pass items to people without first asking them if they have any need or want them. I hate it when people pass used items or unwanted items, even if they are brand new, to us when I did not ask for them. Basically they are passing their problem of having to clear those items out to me. In my eyes, they are not being generous or kind, they are being inconsiderate.
Most of the items that I need to clear out are sent to charity or passed to people who tell me that they want what I am letting go. I don't list on carousell or such cos I don't have the time nor patience to entertain questions, etc. Both DS and DD tried and also find that it's a hassle and irritating when people try to haggle or negotiate on pick up time and place.
Pardon me, I dislike pple giving me things which I didnt ask or dont need. Hence I understand you.
Yes, only when pple need and ask, else why gift them extra which they dont want. -

Last time, we always cooked Abalone Mushrooms and cheat my late FIL as real abalone. He was so old and couldn't spot it was only mushrooms. Actually we don't buy abalone during CNY because I and DH both don't like to eat....no need to waste this kind of money. -

Is 1Jan a PH in Japan? Hope it is then most children will be with their families. Singaporean holidaying with children were mostly back from Japan holiday near the affected areas.
