It is this time of the year again that the hustle and bustle of buying and bargaining begins. It is almost jammed packed at every place that sells CNY products. One can hardly find any decent places to eat or even park. Banks are crowded as everyone rushes to get the newest of currency. Some find it exciting while others deem it an absolute nuisance. The little child in us wanting to get "ang pows" while those handling them out laments this yearly chore. Buying new clothes is a must despite still having unworn ones in the closet. Everything must be at its sparkling best. This is Chinese New Year in Malaysia and pretty much everywhere else.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
