Spring Cleaning for Chinese New Year

It's the Chinese New Year on Wednesday, and Singapore will pretty much shut down between Tuesday afternoon and Thursday, and usher in the Year of the Rooster. Naturally most people have taken the Monday, Tuesday and Friday off as well, and are basking in the sun on some beach somewhere. The office is quiet and bus this morning wasn't as jam packed as it would normally be on a Monday morning.

So we're still in Singapore, and have spent the weekend stocking up on groceries, especially since Ku, Ar and Sh are visiting from Hongkong tonight.

Sa has spent all day today spring cleaning the house along with the maid. Most of the work will be concentrated in the kitchen, where we have to do some serious re-organisation. I'm a clean freak (well, as long as I don't see the dirt, it's ok), and will enjoy coming back to a freshly cleaned house this evening.

Anyway, the plan for the holiday is to visit the Zoo and the Night Safari, Sentosa, and the Jurong Bird Park. Miraculously, these attractions are open over the New Year period. We will also visit Chinatown (suprisingly my first time there during CNY in all these years in Singapore). It's sure to be quite spectacular. Will post photos from there soon.
