  6. Sage Butterfly, Plant Postings, Nell Jean, Dewi and Arfah. Thank you very much for your CNY wishes! I was extremely delighted to see your comments after a long fortnight of decluttering my house, garden and mind. I was terribly busy in the real world and got a lot done.

    Yay, the big day has finally arrived!

    I am celebrating Spring Festival in a land with no winters but everlasting summers in Malaysia, haha.

  12. Kung Hei Fat Choi Autumn Belle. You deserve some rest from all those preparations for the new year! You can do that by blogging, haha! I was supposed to join some friends to have a photowalk in Chinatown, but because i know a lot of people will be there and my sister arrived in the province, so i just forego it.
