the chinese new year
as i was reading everyone’ else entries about the cny.. it seems i am having a less than normal cny celebration as compared to everyone else.
no special customs that i read about, no queuing of the kids to pay respects to the elders to get angpows.. no house visiting for me..
being a true blue singaporean that i am.. i never spent a single chinese new year in singapore for as long as i can remember.
so, cny for me means shopping for groceries in the hypermarkets in msia, VCD/DVD buying, movies going in the town of klaung, and then these days, it’s being stuck to a laptop and playing games to while time away. Last year, goo brought the wii set from the states for ah gong and that kept everyone entertained for a while. This year, gor and me tried to introduce everyone to the game of mahjong, but it’s really hard to teach when everyone is so tired from all the travelling and it not being an easy game to learn.
and so, it’s been pretty boring so far and it’s been only mahjong and internet that keeps me company.
ok. today is special cos im bringing my aunt’s fren who came from the states out for some shopping.
everyone have a good weekend. 🙂
Cherie
Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
