Chinese New Year Preparations

The song goes.............Kong hei lei.. kong hei lei.....

Nowadays the 9.88 and other radio channels are playing all the doong doong chiang songs.. (chinese new year).... in a matter of days, 5 days from now, we will be having our reunion dinner.... you and I....

So... how do you feel? How do I feel? I am feeling exhausted now in fact... planning to take two days off for this festive season.

Tomorrow we will do some last minute cleaning in the house... so... don't call me to go out... don't tempt me to go eat something....... hahahaha....


This year we are using recycled notes from last year...
bank said no new RM10 and RM5 notes!!!
how come like that one??
Any answers?

  1. I didn't know there was a shortage of new RM10 and RM5 notes until this afternoon when I had tea with some friends. One friend insisted she paid the bill and with a RM50 note hopefully she gets herself some RM10 change for Ang Pau money. Hahaha..

  15. Despite the govt goons assurances that they'll be ample new notes, the banks seem to have the lack of it. Maybank passed the buck over to Bank Negara whom they alleged that only one consignment of new notes were handed to them.

    Fyi, i'm recycling old notes too ;)

  17. Ya, me too! The banks kept the new RM10 notes for their VIPs only. I can't get new RM5 and RM10 too! But my ex-colleagues can get new RM10 from the bank (since they are working in a housing developer, bankers always needed to keep the staffs happy in order to get more housing loans). Not fair!
