CNY!

CNY is drawing near. Scrubbing the walls, vacuuming the dust, packing up my room. There are so many things to be done. I climbed the ladder, up and down, spraying the wall with magic clean and scrub with a toothbrush. We can’t paint the walls this year cos grandma passed away a year ago. And according to the Chinese custom, we are not allowed to paint the house I dun know why but let’s just respect that.

One of the thing I like most about the approaching CNY is that I can paint the house but guess not this year :( . The new tv console and coffee table will be arriving this Friday. The sofa cover will have to be washed (not by me tho), many old stuff to thrown, be replaced. The many other liquor bottles we have, some has to be stored or hide them away somewhere.

The windows are scheduled to be cleaned probably a week before CNY. Hope I dun free fall out from the window like those silly maids else I will definitely hit the headlines.

There are so many things I wanted to change! Getting a new side table so that we can store dad’s LDs away….Ya, those big, use-to-be expensive LDs which were popular many many years ago. Dad can’t bear to throw them away. Maybe doing up a new flower arrangement for the living room again this year. It’s task, bestow on me every year, to source for flowers and arrange them to deco the living room. Maybe getting a few nice photo frames to replace the old ones, getting a new pen holder for the living room, buying new curtains, bed sheets, dressing table, new mug and toothbrush holder for mum’s toilet, thinking of changing the shoe rack too….and many many other stuffs.

Then 14, 15, 16 Feb maybe traveling on cruise to accompany my parents for a short tour…well, the organizer is some mandarin radio station and guess some 95.8FM Djs will be there… …just dun ask me play those Valentine day games or CNY games with the aunties or uncles (or with their sons) else I will threaten to jump out from the cruise and swim back to Singapore! :(
As CNY is drawing near, I am excited about this long break again!


Its Spring Cleaning and Shopping time again folks!!
