CNY is just around the corner! Have you done everything you need to do, spring cleaning, shopping and getting your life on track to usher in the new year? It's always a hectic time preparing for the new year, isn't it?
This afternoon my colleague and I headed to KLCC for lunch and just as we expected, there were still many people doing their last minute shopping. Well I was one of them, too! My colleague and I went separate ways to go get what we needed to buy and when we got back together, I was shocked that she had purchased something like a dozen books! No kidding!
Those books are supposed to last her through the CNY period since it is believed that it's not good omen to buy books during the 15 days of CNY. She initially wanted to order her purchase on Amazon books but found that delivery charges would kill her although the unit price of the books were a lot cheaper. I can just imagine how much her books would weigh after I saw for myself how many books she picked up!
Well those were her last minute CNY purchases, while mine were clothes. I actually haven't been buying any new clothes for the new year for a few years already because I don't believe in buying for the sake of buying new clothes for the new year. But today, I just felt in the mood for it, and ended up buying red tops for myself and Ray. The little one already has plenty of new clothes I bought in advance (including red ones, of course!) so I didn't buy him anything last minute.
Sometimes it can be quite fun to join the crowd in doing last minute shopping. It feels a wee bit merrier! Am I strange or what? :)
Anyway, here's wishing everyone a very Happy & Prosperous year of the Ox. I hope you will have a better year ahead in all aspects of your life.
