I'm not the most traditional person on the planet, so unlike some people who can't avoid getting asked the awkward questions when they go round visiting - I get enough of them the rest of the year, I don't need them during the festive season - I skip the visiting and do my own thing during CNY, the collected angpau and goodwill is barely worth the awkwardness. Besides, there's hardly anyone to visit as everyone else is not in town. On the plus side, I am loving the ghost town state the Klang Valley gets at least twice a year.
Plus, feeling the blahs about CNY in general + time of the month + residual post nasal drip AND cough = not in celebratory mood, save for the snacking on CNY treats like love letters, etc.
First day: Didn't see the 'rents until later in the day, but they came home bearing seafood and other stuff. Went to Pavilion in the afternoon. Bought Bernice Chauly's Growing Up with Ghosts with the birthday voucher at Times Bookstore. Bought Ochado pop egg bubble tea and a slice of Hokkaido mille crepe at Tokyo Street. Fish porridge for dinner.
Second day: KLCC, along with the foreign workers (who are busy posing for pictures with the store windows and CNY decor) and other mall rats. Steamboat at home for dinner.
Third day: Midvalley/The Gardens, just because I can. Line at the GSC there was crazy long, but I wasn't there for a movie. Parts of PJ still resemble a ghost town. Home made chicken rice for dinner - if only it wasn't ayam kampung pencen... yeah, I'll let you figure that out.
