Happy Chinese New Year in advance

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

How's everyone preparing for the coming CNY? Honestly, I've not been any good at it. My shopping has been minimal. Where spring cleaning the house is concerned, well I'll just call it cleaning. No spring in there!

I guess all this lack of preparation is somewhat to do with how we've gotten busier with a baby in tow. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming this on the baby. In fact, I have to admit that it's also our laziness in not getting enough done. Just because we feel tired and decide to spend the time to rest instead of cleaning up or shopping for stuff, it amounts to laziness, right? Not to mention spending time on blogging like right now! ;)

Anyway, every new year we are blessed with good food. There's always so much food during reunion dinner and at whatever gatherings or open house that we go for. I used to not give much care to all that I eat because I don't put on weight easily. But I guess after having a baby, things change. So like most mothers, I tend to watch my diet more now. Of course I don't go to the extent of taking things like Decaslim to lose weight or keep fit. I just watch what I eat with a little more care.

This new year, the little boy will also be able to get a taste of all the goodies. He's started to get a taste of some food whenever we go out to eat. He loves some of them and not others. I bet he will love most of the goodies at new year. As long as there's steamed white rice, he'll be very happy already. He's quite like me, actually, loving the bad carbs!

I've rambled on a bit too much, haven't I? I meant to write this post to wish everyone an advance Happy Chinese New Year. And I hope the Year of The Ox will bring everyone lots of good luck, health and wealth. If you are traveling, do have a safe journey. Have a great new year, everyone!
