What with the bleak economic forecast, I'm just wondering how
we'd all be celebrating our CNY this year.
- Will you buy new outfits for CNY? Budget? How many
suits? Already bought?
- What will be the most expensive food item on your table this
year? Do you intend to scale back on food for the Reunion
Dinner?
- Those who are giving out ang pow's, what are your plans?
etc etc.
Even if we can't afford to celebrate CNY like we used to all the
previous years, we can at least talk about it and get a bit excited
over it. 
This year's CNY was very different from last year's. Last
year, we were in Sydney & our friends brought back yu sheng for
us & the 4 of us celebrated CNY together.
This year, I'm back in Singapore (yay!) Had 2 reunion
dinners - 1st with immediate family & cousin, and the 2nd with
in-laws.
1) I bought 2 CNY tops from Baleno! Wore them for reunion
dinners & first day visitation
2) The most expensive food item was the sushi/sashimi delights
that my cousin bought from Liang Court. About $55/tray!
We also ordered the CNY package from
Cold Storage so my mum wouldn't have to tire herself out with all
the cooking. We had herbal chicken, glutinous rice, soup,
vegies, and various other yummy dishes.
3) Gave ang pows to only 5 ppl this year... my 2 nieces, my
parents, & the maid.
