Whilst everyone settles down to celebrate the new lunar year, VT and I ran around like mad fools this morning and early afternoon to run our errands. Thank goodness we managed to convince my PILs to take care of Bryan today despite the both of us being on leave so that we could do all the running around.
I went to the Damansara Specialist Hospital first thing in the morning to do the triple T blood screening while VT took Bryan to the market with my PILs. It was over and paid for in 5mins as there were no other patient at the lab. I met VT back at home and headed out to Chore #1 - Grocery shopping. We have been so busy that we have not even bought drinks and mandarin oranges for our own home. Luckily the cookies were generously supplied by both my Mum and MIL. It was very pleasant walking around an empty Giant. I suppose anyone sane would have done their CNY shopping by now! I even managed to pick up some RM5.98 PJs for Bryan.
Then we popped by Jazz's place to drop off some angpow packets, which I've promised her for the longest time but never got around delivering them. Off we went back to DU Uptown to collect 2 roast ducks - one for the inlaws and one for my parents. With the duck, came the need to deliver them to the owners so back to PILs place and a 10mins drive to my parents.
We finally got home past 1pm. VT immediately started repairing all the bits and pieces which were falling off our house - towel hanger, kitchen shelf and tidying up the wires which have been left on the floor. Ladies, one quick note of advice - Nagging helps!! I put away the grocery and started on wrapping 140 packets of angpows. Yup, you heard me right - I'll blog about this another time because VT had just only come up, saw me blogging and set me on some tasks since I'm so "free".
I'm off to sort out his business cards into an organiser and also count 4 boxes of coins.
Meanwhile, here's wishing everyone:
"KUNG HEI FATT CHOY!!"
