Yes, we sort of skip Christmas shopping and jump forward to prepare for Chinese New Year (Jan 2012).

Learn the lesson from previous CNY where we did last minute shopping (around 3 days before actual day). It doesn’t work for me, the picky lady. I ended up with a few items which I never wear, Oops!

So this time we start earlier, one month before CNY, and because there is YES (Year End Sale) too. We’re making a teeny weeny progress today. I’m contemplating to make an online purchase this time, cause there is much choices online but I can’t try them on. Not like shopping for auto repair shop software alone.

Picture of us from December this year and last year, at the same atrium of the same shopping mall. Spot the difference between now and then! Hehe.

Lesson from today shopping: want to know whether you are getting fatter/thinner? Don’t use weight scale, it’s just numbers. Go shopping, try on clothes/pants that you adore and you’ll realize which part of your body is getting larger/smaller.
