CNY Holidays

The Chinese New Year holidays was on 7 & 8 February, a Thursday & Friday. Stretching into the weekend, it became a rather long holiday for all of us and a much welcome break for both children and adults.

We deliberated if we should go on a holiday somewhere close. However, the thought of bracing the "back-to-the-city" traffic crawl when we come back, automatically put the idea aside. In the end we spent the 4 days at home, doing some spring cleaning and kids catching up with school work. I was bouncing between the living room and the kitchen, the tv and my old and faithful oven.

Hot in the news are stories of ministers giving away land titles to the people and mentions of the government's generosity in increasing the allowances of almost everybody. The PLKN kids are getting more allowances and last night it was announced that even the tok imam in the mosque will get a 100% increase in their allowance. Huyooo......semangat ler tok-tok imam kita lepas ni..poket penuh beb!!!

It's obvious that the election is very close coz' you see none other than the ministers' faces on the tv. I do not want to dwell much on politics lah. Not my cup of tea. If I get too sick of seeing one too many of them on TV3 Buletin Utama, I will just switch to the many other channels on Astro.

Now that the new lunar year has rolled in, the week ahead will be worth looking forward to. After the mandarin oranges have been eaten (and yes...me getting a sick stomach from those succulent little fruits) , after the yee sang have been tossed, everyone will now be eagerly waiting for Pak Lah to announce the date of the next election.
