Chinese New Year Preparations

Photobucket
Chinese New Year is just round the corner, and I am busy cleaning the house and baking cookies. Hubby likes to decorate the house so he bought a few stalks of the curly bamboo plant from the market (no, he didn't go marketing...just tagged along to the morning market with me after breakfast at the mamak shop).

And a few little birds and ribbons...voila!

Tried some new cookie recipes and thankfully they turned out OK. When hubby tried to eat some, Miss PreTeen promptly reminded him, "Dad! Those are for our guests!" :D
