KSP:

Exactly 1 week to CNY eve!!!

*groan* don't remind me..... :nailbite: I'm not looking forward to it. It's boring and noisy and I don't exactly know what to do when most of the in-laws will be yakking away or playing mahjong, while the kids will be on the computer, PSP, DS and what nots. It's either watching the TV or reading the newspaper. I'm getting really antsy and want to get it over and done with.

Oh dear, that's going to be tough on you.
Do you have to stay there long ? How about taking a walk or drive with hubby ?

Sun_2010:

This is one holiday that i really really look forward to.


Why?

Being non-chinese, its all play and no work for me.

I soak in the festive atmosphere , dig in the caloried filled love letters, so much of read , my fav colour in the air, mandirin oranges and of course Long long weekend to laze around and no real responsibilities

:celebrate:

Hi sun-2010, I am happy to know that as a non-chinese you like our cny festive season.
This is the festive season i like most. I enjoy the preparation work such as buying new year goodies, buying new clothes for myself, my children, my parents and my in-laws. It makes me feel good ..though :moneyflies: ..anyway it is once a year ..so be happy la. I also follow my mum footstep by praying to the sky god on the cny eve till abt 1am and also pray on the 8th night CNY to celebrate the birthday of the sky god...All these make my cny celebration interesting and exciting :love:
As my in-laws stay with us, so on the first day of cny I will go back to my parents place for celebration. On the second day, I will be out for visiting to my husband's relatives together with my in-laws and sisters in law.

Wish all of us WAN SI RU YI!!!!! GONG XI FA CHAI!!!!!! HUAT AHHHHHH!!!!

I'm left with changing bedsheet and preparing red packets.

hope i’m not too late to join in …


I LOVE lion dance!!! i will chase after as many lion dance performances as i can! It is only with the lion dance that i can feel the CNY mood.
i like the noise hahahahaha !
i like giving out ang pows!! (i’m nowhere near break even despite having 2 kids)

but somehow CNY visitation etc is very tiring, and i find the once-a-year chit chat quite boring. We don’t have much to talk about, so my visits are capped at max 30mins. anything more than that i cannot tahan.

another grouse is that CNY messes up my kids’ meal schedule and nap schedule. The elder one can go without naps, but the younger one gets grouchy and really difficult to handle without his naps.

my 1st & 2nd days of cny are really jam packed, no chance to get home for a nap. in fact, i only get home after midnight on day 1!

i’m sure my dog hates it just as much because i’m not home to bring him for his walks, so he has to stay over at my sister’s house during CNY.

I hate the hot weather & sweat that comes along with it.
i hate the blisters that come with my new shoes.
i hate the aching calve muscles from wearing heels.
(I would trade those in for my fitflops anytime just for COMFORT!)

hmm, seems like i have more things i dislike abt CNY than things that i like!

and i hate the weight that i will be putting on from all those CNY goodies

I usually do not look forward to CNY as most places are closed.

Visiting relatives are such a chore as the interaction is so fake. However, I am also positive that some of u out there have really great family member to catch-up with during CNY.

Dont eat lor

Yeah LKVM, I support you.. Maybe tankee can distribute all his CNY goodies to us..

Took the day off today and am happily baking cookies now.


Tankee actually a good way to not eat the goodies is to make them. After smelling them day in day out, gelak oredi.
