The 15th Day of CNY!

Today is the last day of chinese new year also known as "Chap Goh Meh" in Hokkien dialect. It is also the chinese Valentine Day today. :) Whilst many chinese back home would be having a big family dinner and tossing the last "yee sang" salad for the new year, we will be having food with mr & Mrs Wong of Happy House later at 2 pm. Yes, we have close relations to the take away ppl- yikes! They are lovely and I have been going there for abt oooh, 9 years plus since uni days. This was a Friday ritual when socials were at the Star and Garter. And carried on ever since. :)

Anyways, apart from that, I have been busy making prep for ppl to visit who are arriving some time today but not staying with me. Lots of things to do though! :)

Yesterday I took Paul to look at the allotment. He thinks it is not worth doing the greenhouse up if kids are going to chuck things at it. I think we will have to see. I will need some ppl to help and advice some aspects of DIY which I have to admit, I am not very good at. But this is all abt new learning curve. :)

Brie sandwiches here, hot tea and chatting to mum. Better scoot! Have a lovely lazy Sunday! :)

Oh yes.....

Would like to say that I am sorry that I have not been able to organise a CNY get togther at my place this year due to financial shortage plus not able to find a day suitable for large get together. However, there is always next time to pig out at my place when we have some money. :)
