CNY is here soon

With just merely 2 weeks away, everyone is rushing for the CNY preparation.

Last weekend me and MT met up with Danny, Ling Ling and little Elsa together with Aunty Steph for Dim Sum at where else but Ah Yat. Manage to make a stop at Chinatown to grab a few goodies just before meeting them. The street is painted in red lanterns and festive deco.. a very warm and homely feel knowing CNY is just around the corner. Long queues waiting outside Lim Chee Guan's shop while the rest spread out to Fragrance and Bee Cheng Hiang's shop. With all the new flavours and packing, one cannot resist but to be carried away with alittle here and there.

Me and MT bought BBQ sliced pork (a.k.a Bak Kwa as they call it in S'pore), pork floss and some other goodies. $48 for a kilo of BBQ sliced pork! At least its still the same price as last year. Passed by some house decor and can't help but to think that this year's mascot, the BULL looks awfully similar to the PIG. Perhaps the cartoonish look of it makes all zodiacs look alike. I still prefer the good ol' decor... forever classic and never out of style :P

I have yet to start on the tid-bits corner.... yummmy~* melon seeds, sugar coated gummies, assorted cookies of shape, size and taste... i'm starting to drool as I think.. This year I am spared from all the CNY shopping as my MIL will be doing most of the necessary ones. However I am looking forward to visiting the orchard nearer to CNY for some fresh blooms :)

Haven't paid the bank a visit to get all the crisp clean bank notes.. I wonder if it will be too crowded if I delay abit more?
