the eve of the lunar new year

Despite today being the eve of Chinese New Year, we seem to be slightly less busy than before. My brothers and I accompanied Mum to Jaya Jusco earlier this morning to buy a box of yee sang for tonight's reunion dinner. It's so convenient these days - all prepacked and ready to go, just add fish. They also had varieties that came with slices of salmon, but that was RM10 extra which wasn't quite worth the little amount they packed in. We bought a whole fillet for a higher price, but at least there's more fish to chew on.

The last-minute spring cleaning got done today -
Wiped the shelves (and everything on them)...
Cleaned the furniture...
Put up the decorations...
Got the basket of oranges out...
Ah, will put out the cookies later.

Our dog Jessie (actually, it's JC but that's another story) got a bath a couple of hours ago. Even she is prepared to usher in the New Year... heheh!


Mum's preparing dinner downstairs; Dad's giving her a hand; my brother's gone out to the car wash. Me? Busy snapping photos around the house, of course!

Time to hit the showers before the guests come.
