I've just finished preparing the home for Chinese New Year. On Valentine's Day? I know...but I'm feeling really accomplished.
The decor is up. The prosperity symbol, a red papercut piece, hangs outside my door upside down. I welcome spring with a thin cardboard sign with the Chinese character emblazoned on it.

Festive cookies, ang pao packets, lively songs I don't understand a word of and oh, as I type this, someone's lighted the firecracker! I've heard drum beats from a couple of trucks ferrying the lion dance troupe passing by my home.
It's hard to not feel overly excited.
These are photos I took the other day of the decor at 1Utama Shopping Mall.

It reminds me of the old Chinese opera performers. So lovely to look at. If these came in small sized dolls, I would definitely buy some to decorate my home.
