Queen Of Bee

today is the last working day for the year of Tiger! *Roar* # 1 : xing nian kuai le! #2 : fook, the favourite word during cny #3 : real? fake? spring is here! *grinning*

weather forecast from malaysia meteorological department . sien lor! cloudy cloudy. usually, few days, or weeks before chinese new year, we would feel the windy "sai pak foong"or north east wind. and the bright sun will expedite all washing+drying. but not this year. it has been a cold cold pre-cny so far. today is nin yar pat , or 28th of the 12th month according to chinese calendar. today is a day where all cleaning are to be done. can clean. but how to dry? it has been raining for the past few days. yesterday, before we went out to alamanda for cny shopping, it was raining. after 5 hours plus inside the mall, we went home. it was still raining! all our laundry from the previous washing were still wet. and we had a fresh load waiting to be hang. adoi... hoping to see sunshine...

we usually go berserk after office hour. yesterday, moonstruckmum unwrapped her hampers and shared the gift with us. she put numbers on the cans/boxes and asked us to pick a number. ala-lucky draw like that. i got #3. juns claimed for me. it was can with a "gold" on top. looking at the can, must be butter cookies inside. but it was not. it's some spicy biscuits. i like! anything that is salty, spicy, soury, i LIKE. sweet stuff,... i dont have sweet tooth lor. then we started to notice a pattern. those who usually stick together got the same gift!! omg!! hahaha... kid you not, moonstruckmum's own team really got the same thing. bird nest essence. all of them! #1 : we are "alike" office cny deco for this year is very simple. some decoration at our workstation. fishes, or YU in cantonese. a string of 6 fishes hanging near my workplace. the reason behind the fishes, i assume is Nin Nin Yau Yu, loosely translate, every year got leftover/extra. so, i hope this 6 ...

next week, thursday, it's the first day of CNY! the year of tiger is coming to an end, and we will welcome rabbit soon! preparation started a month ago. we had a long break during christmas and new year, hence we started cleaning the house much earlier. lanterns are up. #1 : can be reused many times :) kajang town was hyped with activities on 16 jan. kajang was selected to be the main hub for the state cny celebration. on 16 jan, there was an opening ceremony where all the lanterns were lit up by elizabeth wong . there was a parade of all the 12 zodiac animals (according to chinese calendar). & lion dances too! #2 : mine! (in the middle) #3 : what's up doc! cny mood quite low this year. but still went for shopping lah! mum said,"at least buy 1 new shirt lah..". went and did it last sunday. all done in less than 3 hours. just need to get pants. or maybe jeans. later today, need to go for a haircut. i looked like a crazy human!!

a post about date . today is 11th january 2011 or we can write it as 11-1-11. i wonder if there are people getting married today. last year, 10-10-10 (so call perfect wor) so many people got married or registered. we even moved office on that day. then there was this timing plus date that only happened in a long long time. numbers numbers. not my cup of tea.

while reading (flipping) newspaper this morning, a piece of "loose insert" dropped out. and it was from ikea. and the best part of the insert was 2011 horoscope was printed on it! i'm always curious when comes to horoscope. but after reading, i will forget! #1 : the horoscope spread #2 : zoomed in to my sign i wonder true or not, especially the second paragraph. hahaha.

i'm loving the long weekend, thanks to the the unexpected public holiday last friday, and a free holiday tomorrow. friday was spent cleaning the living room. already anticipating the arrival of cny in february. took this chance to start cleaning the house bit by bit in order not to exhaust myself later. yesterday morning, managed to catch heart warming christmas movie on diva channel early morning. i'm a sucker for that. happy with the ending, had a hearty breakfast, i started cleaning cabinet & drawers. had lots of hidden "treasures". threw some stuff away, packed some for recycle, & rearranged everything. i have accomplished my to-do-list for the long weekend. last night, went to cousin's house warming. first gathering for the family too. met up with a cousin who is going to give birth soon! our last session was when she just got pregnant. that's how long i have not seen her. had a great laugh when they asked me to show the dance move that i have lea...
