The Rush Before Chinese New Year

So much to do, so little time.  Chinese New Year is just around the corner and there are still a few things in my list which I need to do. Iron my Chinese New Year clothes, cookies shopping, getting all the angpows ready and buy myself a pair of pants.  I have been so busy that I do not even have time to read the newspapers or the social security disability write-up. One thing which I managed to complete is my D-I-Y decor.  Remember my paper lanterns earlier?  Well, here is where I decorate them 😀

I found the branches in TTDI after DBKL trimmed some trees there.

I also used some angpows to cut out Paper Dogwood Flowers which I learned from MarthaStewart.com

I poked a lil hole in the center of each flower and affix them onto the branches
