Chinese New Year is coming!

Another 10 days and it's Chinese New Year. I can't remember when, but I have since come to dread this celebration.

There's cleaning to be done. That I've done half way. There's shopping to do. And I haven't started. There's relatives to visit......... {sigh}

Every year on the 1st day of the Chinese New Year we will go to Muar to hang out with my mum's side of the family. This bunch of relatives I quite like, but that town is soooooooooo hot! When we get into my aunt's house at about 12 noon, it's already hot enough to make you perspire the moment you step into the house.

1 hour later, it starts to feel like an oven. 2 hours laters, you feel like you are in an oven. 3 hours later, you feel like you're going to be cremated. 4 hours laters you feel like you're in hell.

But those Muar people just doesn't seem to feel the heat. Maybe they are actually Martians.
