Just as we usher the new year in, we're about to experience another new year in two weeks time. Chinese New Year falls on Valentine's day. A bummer for the florists who ( according to my mother, who quoted the papers) have predicted a drop in sales. Everybody will be back for the reunion dinner. Unless you're married, it will be hard to squeeze a quick romantic meal with your beloved this Valentines. Flowers will have to wait. And as we know, delayed gifts usually like the snowball effect, get bigger and better.
The shopping malls are decorated for Chinese New Year. Pavillion's decoration features the pussy willow. ( An awful name really if you think about it, said in a different intonation, it can sound vulgar). There were loads of pussy willows in front of the main entrance of the Pavillion...and quite a bit of red Lanterns hung from very high up. I'm still undecided ...whether I actually like it.
