Yesh, my 第一次.
First time celebrating CNY as a married couple, which means pao-ing ang pao to my cousins & ah pui's bro. I can picture them rubbing their hands in glee, lining up for the red packets now. To my cousins who are reading this, WAIT TIL CNY!! And wait til you guys get married, will get kanahchee to do the same thing back to you. Grrr.....
Since i'm totally new to this, would be at a lost on how much crispy new notes to change & more importantly, how much to change. You never know about unexpected ang-pao hunters waving the mandarin oranges at you. And to give parents & in-laws ang paos (err.. how much to give??)
And the most headache of all, reunion dinner. Urm.. although i'm carrying kanahchee, doubt it's possible to polish off 2 dinners within 1 night. *gulp*
so this calls for: planning, planning.. STRATEGIC PLANNING!!!
First time celebrating CNY as a preggie. Great, gotta have people coming up & commenting on my tummy & weight. 'Your tummy this & that, your weight that & this.' Gotta bring my earplugs.
First time not buying new clothes for CNY. Call it either a pro/con for being preggie. Most of the maternity clothes sucks! And if they look good, it would cost a bomb. Even though i'm a shopaholic, i'm not gonna be a sucker and pay a few hundred for a dress that i'm gonna wear for 6 mths. Really saving up money for the ang paos.
With 2 weeks to CNY, Happy Chinese New Year folks! Gong Xi Gong Xi~
