preCNY

7th next month. 10 days or so to go?

imagining the shopping centres and streets back home. must be full of decorations in red by sight; full of musics with drums and gongs by hearing; full of new year cookies loaded with sugar by taste; full of detergent for the cleaning by smell; and well, you have to touch all these lanterns and CDs and flour and water to make the above valid :P

CNY in melbourne is relatively happening and merry. there are so many chinese over there. lion dance, dragon dance, big red lanterns, events, performances, it's a carnival every year :) here, there's not a sign of it creeping close.

but it's great to see ppl anticipating for the festival even when it seems so far away. i'm almost grateful to see a message dropped by aik yean to go out for a nice meal after the class on 7th. my chinese friends are also arranging some home cooking on 6th, though at the moment i decide to only supervise ^^ or maybe you can suggest some msian CNY special that i can introduce them?

even woei mentioned about CNY, ha... seems like the situation is not any better in NZ ^^ but at least we are going to do something and not let it pass without a mark yeah?

well, i'm sure those in msia are going to enjoy it in some way or another. so, for those who are away from home, wish you'll have a nice one :)
