HooooooooooooRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 days until chinese new year!

just now i went to this place that they have lots of florist!
hoooooooooo
the business is freaking good
i remember 1-2 years ago
the boss complained business is not good
but this year his business is superb!

they are so busy until they got no time to come my house to plant two giant pine tree
LOL

 

[mrfatso]

haha, nice, speaking of that, seems strange that my parents haven bought another plant to add to our little garden, since that was what they had been doing since a few years back.

Anyway, hoo hoo, as usual, my mom just made another batch of pineapple tarts

Well, that's one item off the list

 

[iPikachu]

today had to clean the house... clean chair clean wall clean plastic plants also >_>

 

[mrfatso]

haha, today we had a nice reunion dinner.

Ceral Prawn, pineapple sauced pork, steam chicken, chicken rice, cabbage, vegetable and rice

And my parents just bought the abalone. As for spring cleaning, most of the stuff have been clean, just need to arrange them nicely, that's all.

 

[elixirdream]

today i just threw some old working drawings away
tomorrow will start some serious cleaning + cleaning spider webs

 

[mrfatso]

Oo, spider-web, i probably have those behind the closet, but too lazy to shift the closet forward.

So, have you guys bought all your CNY snacks?

 

[elixirdream]

my dad bought two big packets of fried prawn crackers

but i prefer the brownish fish type

 

[mrfatso]

thanks for reminding me, since we probably wont have any candies this year, i can replace them with that fish ball cracker and other salty snack

So, any interesting thing happened ?

 

[elixirdream]

went to the mall
mid valley and gardens

their decoration is pretty nice
its pretty simple but being clean
too bad i didn't bring my camera

 

[mrfatso]

sounds better than junction 8 fair, i just saw a news about that place while i was at my relative house.

They were complaining about getting tricked, cos by right there were supposed to be a huge crowded, but those guy end up will arrived next week and by then, most of the store owner have been making a huge loss, so a number of them just quitted.

 

[elixirdream]

huh? what happened?

 

[mrfatso]

no idea, something about a bunch of people from china were supposed to be here to set up store and also, some other crowd thing...

 

[iPikachu]

i think got famous people supposed to visit there but never so the shopkeeper sad? lol

 

[elixirdream]

oh
you mean those chinese visitors ar?

that mall sell many expensive stuff?

 

[mrfatso]

is not mall lor, more like a glorified pasam malam

 

[iPikachu]

lol china?

brb leg numb

 

[elixirdream]

then how can chinese visitors save the pasar malam
since 99% of those goods would be made in china
they might as well buy it from china

 

[mrfatso]

i have no bloody idea... they even had a concert setting there... so probably they wanted to invite some band over to sing and attract ppl ?

 

[elixirdream]

hoooooo
thats cool!

still if people would want to go there
they will still go
you don't need attractions to do the job

 

[mrfatso]

nah, they will need the attraction, if not, no point, the stuff there are overpriced higher than usual, and some of the stuff sold have no link with CNY, like those ball game... really? dont those stores only appear at pasam malam? what are they doing at a chinese new year good fair?

All in all, it really just feels like a huge pasam malam then a decent new year fair. Cos, if not, i might as well, go to my friend house, it is a 1/2 hour walk from my house and the fair has more or less the same item at a cheaper price.
