Chinese New Year is around the corner. We were busy doing the house-keeping to welcome the Year of the Ox. Very soon, we have to say “good-bye” to the Year of the Rat. 

I spent half a day cleaning my bathroom and scrubbing the floor to make sure that all the dusts and dirts were cleaned away. Besides house-keeping, my family and I spent some time decorating our house with the Chinese New Year auspicious items.

We also prepared food for the Chinese New Year reunion dinner on Sunday. One of our favourite dishes is abalone. I have taken some pictures after opening a few cans of abalone.
