New Year is just 3 days away. Not sure why but this year seems exceptionally quiet. Maybe because we cut down our spending on new year goodies since there had been a lot of leftover goodies over the past years and we didn't want to waste the money on that anymore. New clothes are the clothes that I've bought few months back that hadn't been worn yet, or the new clothes that the kids got during christmas and birthdays. Bought hubby's clothes online and he just made some new work trousers. I didn't get any new clothes this year as I thought since I am not working, there is no need for me to get any clothes, just dig out those casual clothes that I haven't been wearing too frequently. I don't like the ideas of hanging or pasting stuff on the walls so we put up minimal decorations too. All in all, there isn't much to prepare and I didn't get to go out and immerse myself in the pre-CNY sales so somehow I can't feel the festival mood. Maybe it's also because this year we will only be having 2 days of holidays and by 3rd day, all will be back at work and school.
Everyone is back for new year. All who are overseas made it back this week for CNY celebrations next week. Even Nic will be home tonight. Rather excited to seeing her again after so long. Each trip back, she will not forget to ask what I want to get and she'll get it back for me. Too bad I don't have the time to go and get her favourite Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa this year. My guess is she won't be eating much too as she's trying to maintain her figure lol
Today I've decided not to cook dinner so its a pretty relaxing day for me. CNY is just around the corner and everything is just so expensive. I am quite certain we will be eating lotsa chinese food for the next 4 days so I've decided that I should stop cooking for the kids for a while. The kids are asking for pizza so today will be pizza Friday. Hao reminded me to invite sis and kevin for pizza friday so they'll be coming over after work. The kids missed having people (other than their mummy) over for games and food. Hubby has been working rather hard this week with projects to run and the kids haven't seen him much this week. It seemed a long time since I've spoken to hubby lol
