Just around the corner

Chinese New Year is just around the corner!

This year, the first day of Chinese New Year will fall on 14 February 2010, which is also Valentine's Day.

In the past, Valentine's Day was a popular date for couples to register their marriage at the Registry of Marriages. Given the fact that it falls on the first day of Chinese New Year this year, I wonder whether the number of Valentine's Day ROM marriages this year will be less than before? Also, the people who have been invited to a Valentine's Day ROM marriage would be undecided whether to attend the ROM marriage celebration or engage in the traditional first day of the Lunar New Year relative visiting. *grin*

My Aunt SN (my mother's second sister) has gone back to Muar, Malaysia. In the interim and pending her next visit to Singapore, I decided to use the balance jam that we had bought for her consumption in Singapore by baking a jam fruitcake.

For those of you who will be celebrating Chinese New Year this year, here's wishing you GONG XI FA CAI!

Shaloam,
