The lunar year of Mickey mouse is going to end soon and we are all eager to usher in the year of bulls and cows. Be prepared for a year of vegetarian eating (grass!!!) and milk spurting !!!
Screamings aside, there are also tonnes of things to do before we leap straight into the lunar year of bull (from here onwards i will only use bull... typing bull & cow is very tiring...haizz).
The house needs extra hard cleaning, scratched walls needs repainting, cookies need to be made and many many more. Thinking of these chores already gives me the feeling of wanting to faint....
But hor... this is the things that makes it so exciting to usher in the lunar new year. The chinese radio channels are strumming with CNY tunes which makes you really really wants to throw all formal jobs and indulge in the preparation of CNY. The feeling of rolling out cookiew dough, the aroma of newly baked cookies and the smell of all the homemade tidbits will definitely brings the CNY spirits caving into your souls.
I have already been well on the route of making CNY preparations (actually not me but rather my brother... (~~)... he is so excited that sometimes i think CNY is tomorrow) My mum had already made springs rolls (chun kuen in cantonese) which is enough to feed a whole village in Africa. I had bought enough of softdrinks to water the whole Malaysia (as if). My fridge has been stuffed with packets of pineapple jam that is waiting to be stuffed into the biscuit dough.... i can't wait already!!!!!!!! (drooling badly)
Good things aside.... the news looks bleak on this coming year of bull. Feng-shui-ist and astrologist has given quite bad review on bull's year saying more calamity then good. Well, things had been rather bad lately and it seems that no one is providing high hopes for next year. It seems like we are doomed for the worst next year..... hmm all the bad news really doused the festive mood......
Ohh... did i ramble too faraway???? It's not even 1st Jan 2009 and i have been babbling of CNY already.... silly me.
