Chinese New Year Business


My husband's shop was opened the whole day for the past 2 Sundays. That was from 8.30am to 10pm just like the other normal days. Normally the shop is only opened until 2pm on Sundays. Previously it was not a working day but since April last year, Sunday was declared a working day. My staff was ever willing to work too.

Well, yesterday I thought I could stay at home as it was Sunday. I just wanted to cook and do some housekeeping since Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

While I was still at the kitchen getting ready to cook, the phone rang. I was called to go to work as I was needed to wrap more hampers.

So immediately I quickly gave a quick deep-fried tofu and stir-fried sawi. Showered and quickly ate my small portion of lunch as I had breakfast earlier.

Headed to my husband's shop and started wrapping more hampers. This time I wrapped RM50 hampers as the customers requested for that.

These hampers below were in display since last week and today almost all were sold.



RM32





This time I had a neat row to display those hampers.


RM188



Well..still got to be busy until this Tuesday.


Happy CNY preparation to all Chinese!

    hampers are always a good seller, esp with corporate clients. even if not sold, can unwrap & put the stuff back on the sheves!

    blessed new year to you & your family!

    When I saw these hampers, they reminded me about those days which I worked as a worker in a Hamper Co.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
