Chinese New Year is Coming!




“Gong Xi Fat Chai” ! The Chinese New Year is approaching. So, what have you do to celebrate this important occasion?


For me, we should start cleaning away all the dirt and clutter that has accumulated over the course of the year. Remove and dispose of old clothing, broken items and things associated with unhappy memories.


Last week, I had employed a one day maid to clean up my house. OMG, she doesn’t finish cleaning the whole house because she does thing in slow motion. Even she done all the cleaning jobs in slow motion, I can feel that she was really tired. She helped me wiped off all the dust in my master bedroom. My perfume, lipstick, cosmetic items, she wipes it one by one.


Next, we should clean up our garden. Remove dead or dying plants from the garden. For those who wish to spearhead the year with auspicious manner, now is the time to start growing bulbous plants so that they sprout over the Chinese New Year period.


New Year can ensure new beginnings and good fortune for the coming year. If you have no beginning, it means that your projects are hard to get started.
