Chinese New Year approaching...

We are at the end of January of 2013. Chinese New Year is in 2 weeks. I have gotten some new clothes for kids, but still need more clothes and shoes. I don't know if I have time to find comfortable, practical shoes and clothes for them. As for other preparations, I am ill prepared. No baking cookies this year. I am not in the mood plus my over is broken. So I will go buy some this week. The house is still in a mess like usual. I dislike cleaning, even more, spring cleaning. So this will be a real chore for us.

We made an impromptu decision to visit Petaling Street/Jalan Sultan yesterday morning (a public holiday). It was a nice short trip, 2 1/2 hours in all. Since it is nearing the Chinese New Year, there was quite a lot of people at about 8+am when we reached. It would be real crowded by afternoon and more so in the evenings I am sure. We didn't plan to do any shopping there, so we brought our in laws along and had breakfast, bought some snacks, walked around abit and headed home. Was pretty enjoyable, and a different experience for the kids. Even for me, I seldom venture into KL, let alone Chinatown. The last time I went there was before CNY more than 5 years ago. But the atmosphere there, especially nearing/during CNY time is always great.

You know some times it's so ironic. People from all over the world come to Malaysia to visit our places of interest, Pestling Street being one of the most popular ones. And we as Malaysian don't even go there when it's just at our doorsteps. That's the mentality of the grass is always greener on the other side. Enjoy some shots I took on my iPhone of our visit.

Settling into 2013 with Exciting Happenings

Christmas is over and so is New Year! Looked like I 'forgot' about my blog for more than 20 days! Can't blame me la, been busy with school reopening and all.

I read back what I wrote last and realised I didn't do what I said I would do. That is to create a timetable for the kids for their daily/weekend activities. Will try to do so one day in the fuuuuuture...

Right now, the kids are settled in their routine. Eldest one goes to school wee early in the mornings with his dad. The other two follows me later on to their daycare/kindy. In the evenings, I will go pick the 3 of them up. So far so good.

Many things are also happening for us. Bought a new (old) house, putting up our current one for sale, busy with loan/sale agreement/etc.. Busy thinking how to revive the new (old) house.

AND the thing happening this weekend which I have been looking forward to, my gf's wedding! We will be busy from early morning, helping her out. As one of the gfs said, the last one off the shelf :P, so I am super excited! Helped her with her wedding picture slideshow to be played during the dinner. Bought new dress(es), made new dress for my girl who will also be going, going to send my car for carwash and go to the hair saloon on Friday! Even dieted for weeks to look better on her big day. Just so happy for her...

Exclusive! I am so excited, I will even post up the dress I will wear for her big night!  :P
