CNY - do you look forward to it?

[chatelaine]

CNY is a time for gathering...

Look forward... Seeing all my aunties and cousins at my mum's place in 1 day. :celebrate:
Dread... To visit 8 aunties & uncle at their house including MIL for 8days with the house pack with >30ppl. :?:

[toddles]

Looking forward to the food!


this year I’m preggy so no need to field questions on "when’s the next one coming" Whoooooooo hoooooooooooo.

those with single relatives, pls remember to be merciful and stop asking them when they are going to get married, why no bf etc…

I am looking forward to it.


Already bought all the necessary CNY clothes. Need to look for shoes. Did some spring cleaning last weekend. Great sense of achievement cos we managed to clear out a lot of stuff. Now waiting to see if the landscaping contractor can redo our garden in time.

Planning to bake some cookies. This is something which I did not do last time. Usually my mum will be the one making the cookies to give to everyone. This year she kind of delegated some to me.

Reunion dinners all planned and booked.

Hahah. I did not do any spring cleaning at all since we moved into this place and that was 5 yrs ago.

So new tradition for us, spring clean every 5 yrs.

I have my fair share of irritating relatives and such but hey, not gonna let them ruin what should be part of my kids childhood memory.

I am adopting some and inventing some traditions. I find it sad when pple choose to go away for CNY or Xmas instead of spending it with family.
