What to buy for Chinese New Year ?!! HELP

Chinese New Year is around the corner, on the 7th and 8th Feb 2008. Mum is coming on the 1st Feb.

And the big question is: What to prepare for the Chinese New Year 2008 !!

There were 2 trips I made with the intention of buying stuff' for the new year.
During the first trip to Jusco, I went to buy drinks, and grocery that was on the news that has shortage like flour and the cooking oil. Well got to take some precautious too, since the shelf is really sort of empty on that sort of thing. Got some drinks in the list too.... Guess I no need to buy a new pack of rice now coz the existing one still half beg full and is currently infested with rice bug. I have tried to get rid of it by putting the rice beg under the sun. Guess it doens't work at all. Well it is my fault at the first place, the bug is coming out from the rice noodle tin that I forgot to close the other day. Now I had thrown away the culprit tin already. Mum is going to bring a fresh tin of rice noodle for me again :)

Second time we went to Tesco, Kajang. I got one chong sam shirt for Dylan. When I tried it on him. He doesn't really like to wear it. May be he doesn't like shirt with Button. Hopefully he will like to wear it for first day for Chinese New Year. The shirt were looking good on LL. :) Next I bought several chocalate pack for visiting. As for tit-bit, not really want to spend on those as learnt from experience from previous year, there is a lot of left over :) ....

Ibought some decorative stuff for the new year from the open market. Will look great on the front door at least. Farokh is going to paint the living room Aqua white colour which is closed to light colour. That will be nice too. Hopefully he has enough stamina to finish the work. As for last week, he rested on Saturday and only start working on the grill upstair. So it was only half way done now. We changed the grill to white colour to be the same as the rest of the grill colour.


Next thing on my list will be to get some new notes from the bank :) Will visit Ambank during the weekend to do it then...

Happy Chinese New Year Every One.
